Were not going to do an Alan Sugar and get Christian Gross unveiled I hope while he mutters about having to catch the local PMT bus

This is utterly wrong. Just pay Jones off, he shouldn't have to do this. Rooster and Wade in charge for Saturday, what's the issue?

I can't keep saying it's a disgrace, too often of late I've been referring to everything at this club as a disgrace.
Fuck it, this is a disgrace.

Fair play to anyone who does ask that question.

I fear for the future of this football club. It's only a matter of time before people start to turn on the owners, it's now almost impossible to defend them. And if they decide they've had enough, it looks like a very bleak future for Stoke City. I think its maybe time to start pointing the focus towards the owners and the board. They clearly do not care about the fans and Im questioning whether they actually care about the club anymore. Moronic statement maybe but I am wondering. Ive never seen such a bunch of incompetent idiots who supposedly sit around a boardroom table. I understand your point. Personally I struggle to see an alternativ, if there was one they'd have gone by now surely?

I haven't been this excited by a press conference since Gerri Halliwell left the Spice Girls.....

Is there a live video stream of this press conference anywhere? It'll make for more compelling viewing than Tuesday's game...

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/nathan-jones-press-conference-live-3383204Question one: It's a surprise to see you! Are you surprised too?NJ: Not really. I am always emotional after a game and wear my heart on my sleeve. I didn’t want to come in front of everyone and say we’ve had more shots, more possession and sound like a broken record. In pretty much seven of 10 games we have controlled the game but because of the game it was in the bottom two... Have you spoken to the owners?NJ: I speak to the owners all the time. The owners here are fantastic and have been brilliant for me. They’ve trusted me more than I deserve to be honest! But they know I’m a fighter and I’m strong and any conversation will remain private. I have a good relationship with John and Peter. I know they are fully behind me. If they weren’t I would have been gone a long time ago.I have to start repaying them them...

We wanted the club to be decisive I guess. That's what they're being, he's staying.....

How does it change? NJ: If we were just hanging on then they would have changed a long time ago. But they see the stats, they are stats people, and as soon as it turns there is a team there that can win a lot of football games.
If it doesn’t change they will make the call and I will fully respect that.
Are you too honest? Nathan Jones has taken issue with Danny Murphy’s comments about players being fed up with the diamond system.
He added: “The only thing I can do is be honest because that’s true to myself. I see certain things, we train a certain way, there are no discipline problems now and we’ve been slightly unfortunate and that could cost me my job. I don’t shirk a challenge. I go around the pitch every single game and away fans sing, I’m getting sacked in the morning, but I’m strong.
“If it doesn’t work out I will walk away with a poor win record by my pride intact.”

Basically they can’t get who they want and are having to go down the list so leaving him hung out to dry with players who have already knocked off.....they just want to get the Swansea loss out of the way and have two weeks to appoint some totally underwhelming manager.....I just can see any other outcome?

I'm taking a break from it all... how can anyone expect anyone to pay their hard earned money to deal with this incompetence week in week out.

This is just totally ODD beyond belief! You really couldn't make this up, unless you were writing a highly unbelievable story where strugglung guy on the brink with seemingly nowhere to go pulls off fantastical change in ailing football club fortunes and then a few years down the line is lauded as a hero...oh, hang on, wrong lead man! No, this is just ODD!
