It has to be today, surely? Even if it we can't get anyone in straight away it can't be worse than having him here. Give it Pottermus til the end of the season IMO.

My feeling is,the board can't find anyone willing to take over this Shit show,so they are having to stick with Jones.

This is Stoke, deep down we all know he will be in charge Saturday.

He'll be here for Satdee and then sacked.....international break and whoever, can start assessing our squad.

This is very upsetting. It should have been done a week ago. We just waste more and more time. I don't think he should be in charge on Saturday - that benefits nobody - even if it's Rooster on the touchline.

So I asked Mr X. (Who I think will eventually answer me with 'Fuck off I'm not saying because I know you are posting on Oatcake....) when the discussions with managers actually start.
It was late last week.
Christ on a bike.
Will the axe fall? Surely it has to but..... this is a board that have sleptwalked into even clusterfuck imaginable.
So I now hope there's an official message two minutes after I post this.

Anything but this afternoon looks inconceivable.
Jones himself almost certainly wouldn't want to be in charge at Swansea or go through the farce of another pre-match press conference.

Almost as if it has snuck up on them and came out of the blue last night and caught them with their pants down.

Right up to kick off enough of the board wanted him to stay. Surely that is still not the case.....

No matter what the owners are and anyone's personal opinions of them, they wont put him through all of that shit, it's not fair and I am pretty confident he has been told his time was up if he lost last night. So I would imagine all of the formalities/goodbyes etc. have taken place this morning and it will be announced just after lunch.

He was given the news last night after the game. Said his goodbyes to people who work at the ground and then cleared his desk this morning at CW and said his goodbyes there as well.
A matter of time before the news breaks I would suspect.
Was messaged this late last night, no surprise really.
Hughton is 100% the boards first choice but he will not pursue talks until his pal Jones is Out of the building out of respect for NJ.

I have been a Jones supporter all the way, but there's just no way he can carry on.
The board have history for dithering, but this is beyond dithering, this is relegation back to the third tier at stake here. He can't carry on, he's gotta go

They're probably haggling with Hughton as we speak over some £50 clause?

This would tally with Hughton suddenly making it known that he has an interest if he's aware the deed is already done. PLIBT

And how will it be announced? • Tonight, parted company • In the morning, mutual consent just hasn’t worked out • After Saturdays match, wishing Jones well - time for a change • December, we can still survive • Next May, League 1 Gouranga. Suspect JC's biggest mistake has been thinking like this or believing he's got to have a new manager in place before letting NJ go. Jim Royle's arse as caretaker would have done better for the past 6 games.
