You might as well have let me answer the questions.
So Loony, when is he getting sacked?
Hmm who really knows. Not today, maybe tomorrow, maybe not at all.
So Loony, why dont we start Campbell?
Hmm I think he should start, but then again he shouldn't. I think he will start the next game, but then again might not.
So Loony, what is your ringtone?
Bit personal, but its a mid brown with a tinge of pink

An excellent, brave decision. How nice to see the owners have courage in their convictions, instead of taking the cowardly way out. Thinking about this more I agree with this stance. Just fingers crossed Jones can turn it around. It’s a decision based on absolutely of substance though. It’s stupid.

Aye, we're not a sacking club, pity we're not a winning club either.

Alternatively, having the balls to admit you've made a mistake and taking a financial hit to rectify it could be the way to go? I loved his talk and the idea of a "project" with a young manager who'd done it with Luton (who wouldn't want that?).....but (and it pains me to say it), I aren't sure he's got the faintest clue what on earth he's doing. And his results would have seen him sacked at 91 other clubs. If he hasn't any longer got the balls to play his diamond and can't eke out results playing the Rowetty stuff we did on Saturday (now minus Verlinden as any competiton to McClean if we do shake the formation up), what exactly is he doing here?

I'm very surprised he isn't being axed today. They're walking the fine line between ballsy and bonkers. Not sure this 'not a sacking club' thing is something to be worn as some kind of badge of honour when you're up Shit Creek with no paddle. This is the kind of non-decision that has lead the club to be where it is today. The owners will not make any kind of ballsy decision! Why? Is it about face saving, are they ignorant or are they just plain cowards? We'll get a pasting against Bristol and then probably sack him instead of doing it now where we can get in a manager and give him at least a 7 to 10 days to get himself sorted. Pathetic Stoke City. Clueless fuckwits.

Happy to be heading towards relegation then , pleased we don't want to be known as a sacking club even though we have sacked three managers in two seasons , he's the cheap option and a yes man to boot what's not to like for the board division 3 here we come.

Predictable fuckwits though I literally don't know how they manage to be even more idiotic year on fucking year. Every fucking season they surpass the levels of incompetency we thought they could never surpass. We are an absolute joke of a Club. They've been getting off with their stupendous failings for three years now on the basis of who they are and, whilst I would never call for them out, jesus fucking christ what is wrong with them! Why the flying fuck are we getting manager tips off a man in the pub? How can they not see that this absolute joker hasn't got the first clue of how to turn things around, recruit, pick a team or formation. Is this all a fucking joke to them or something. They are going to fucking ruin us the absolute clowns. How is it even possible?

It’s quite clear from recent comments hughton won’t touch us with a barge pole. So, who do we get in? I’d rather see jones get a few more games. They are his players. It’s his squad. Yes it may not work, but did a change work with Hughes, lambert and Rowett? Can you honestly tell me you think they’ll appoint a worthy successor? I certainly can’t.

Sticking with Jones due to the investment made to date?
You wouldn't think a family who made billions in the gambling world would fall victim to one of the oldest tricks in the book.
The sunkcost fallacy is real.

An excellent, brave decision. How nice to see the owners have courage in their convictions, instead of taking the cowardly way out. I agree sticking with Jones is the right decision for now. I think the fact we've been so unlucky this season must factor into the decision e.g. the number of times we've hit the woodwork and the percentage of times mistakes have been critically punished. If it goes on much longer though, no manager will ever turn the team's confidence around. Pulis would likely keep us up, but then what?

Can you honestly tell me you think they’ll appoint a worthy successor? I certainly can’t. That all sounds lovely until we are 2 down in our next league game. This situation simply has to change. You, me, no one knows if a fresh manager could do better. One thing we do know, however, is that he'd struggle to do worse (results wise at least). I could stomach it if the green shoots were there but quite honestly, we've been soundly beaten by teams who have deserved to beat us. Maybe Jones will get lucky and that'll break the trend but I don't hold out any hope at this point that he has any sort of a clue. There are plenty of great managers out there who would no doubt be interested. We cannot let that kind of apathy strike again after Hughes. As I've stated elsewhere, this is the sunkcost fallacy at its finest

Hitting the woodwork = shooting off target (being shit) Making stupid mistakes = being shit You can’t call either unlucky. We have one of the worst shots on target stats in the division. Coupled with a fragile defence is a terrible combination. Not anything to do with luck though.

Hitting the woodwork is not bad luck- there is 192 square feet of space to put the ball in- a crossbar is 8 yards long and 3 inches wide, a post is 8 feet high and 3 inches wide- to hit a post or bar and miss 192 square feet of space is shite finishing.

Absolutely fucking spineless.
So we’d rather go down another division than give this clown the bullet.
We’ve gone from battering Liverpool 6-1 to the brink of the third tier in four years, and still we’re operating in the same lackadaisical, braindead manner, and crucially, NONE of the higher-ups who have overseen this absolutely cataclysmic abortion have been given the chop.
Quite frankly we deserve whatever happens to us, we’re a joke.
