Good for him he's took the stick on the chin said he has not performed how he should do after tuesday. After a win like that how can he not be upbeat about it, if he come out in a 'I don't give a shit' manner he'd get slated for that aswell, the bloke can't win either way.

Well done.

I don't like some of what he was saying but given the sheer stress he must have been under I'll let him have his moment of relief.
The players were playing for him today and Badou's reaction to the late winner is more important to me than some of what he said.
If he sticks with that team (2 up top, no Ince or McLean @ LB) and manages to harness today's never-say-die attitude then I'm behind him...

His whole career could have hinged on that result, literally the rest of his professional life. It's looked for all the world like he would be losing everything he's worked hard for years for and that might have just been given back to him with a goal not too long before the interview. I find it hard to criticise him if I'm honest, especially after the grief he's had this week. He could do with some help in his dealings with the press in general tho, he sounds slightly Rowettesque some times, he won't win many friends telling lies either, I can remember screaming at the radio at some of the stuff 'one of our other managers' used to say

Someone has already alluded to it, however, what if this is his 'ferguson' moment? He was one game away from being sacked.
I'm not pretending we'll in any way do what ManU have, but i do wonder if it's a key turning point for both Jones and the players?
I'd like to hope so!

Well done Nathan its been a long time coming & most people are pleased for you & the fact we got 3 points. But its to late & only papers over the very obvious cracks 4 wins in 30 games you are very lucky to still have a job as no other club would have tolerated that sort of run.

Imagine still being negative after scoring a 90th minute winner against top of the league - possibly our best performance in years. Just behave It was a fantastic performance of course it was. We've been totally shit for 9 months, football fans can be so fickle. If you give stick when it’s due then you should also give credit It’s not being fickle, it’s being balanced The crap run started with one game Who’s to say a great run won’t do the same?

The bloke comes out fighting after one of the best performances from Stoke for a number of years - and he's still a cunt for it?? Some of the comments on this thread prove exactly what he was talking about. We have some utter amoebas that won’t be happy whatever happens. Don’t sweat it mate. Say we are going up......

In the end it matters not one jot , it’s all about what happens on the pitch. If he and the players can maintain the level of performance shown today all words will be superfluous and things will progress.

For some to be saying he's an arse hole and fruit loop, for me that's poor. For whatever you can say about games is one thing. The bloke came from luton, probably on fuck all money there compared to even championship managers. He was excited as fuck to have the chance to manage a big club like stoke he said. He got married in the summer and with the money he'll now be on and the opportunity he had he said he was going to live and breathe stoke city.
Yes he's picked players and changed things from game to game, but I think most managers would do that to try get a win from somewhere.
He's no rich been there and done it manager that couldn't be arsed. For him he was living the dream.
Criticising him for being over excited in an interview after winning the way they did under massive pressure and scrutiny not just in stoke on trent, but in the media, is a massive thing for him.
I think I can excuse him for letting it all out, as looking back at the posts when the second went in was no different on here. I think that's why he has been cut more slack with owners and fans, because they can see that for whatever anyone can throw at him for some on field decisions, no one can criticise him for effort and enthusiasm, and no doubt literally working every hour he's awake, and going on what he's been saying that's pretty much 24hrs a day.
Whether he stays or goes, the bloke is no arsehole, tosser, fruit loop, or wanker.

Loved the performance today, fantastic result and well deserved. Also understand the passion coming through in his interview, but he’s talking some absolute bollocks. Would still love to see him turn this around, but let’s not pretend he hasn’t contributed massively to the state we’re in. I know he’s excited with the win, but we’re not fucking idiots and he needs to dial back the nonsense.

Yes nate! Clucas spoke really well on signal 2 aswell. I don't get the stick Clucas has had this season he's done well up to yet imo. When he's in the box and the ball drops he's the midfielder you want it to fall too, good clean striker of the ball

Certainly doesn't sound like he's going anywhere. He's full of it. I'm finding it uncomfortable to listen to, if I'm honest. He's blaming others again and being quite bullish with it. I agree with that. I was feeling a bit more positive towards him after the performance. But then less so after hearing the interview. I don’t think he does himself any favours now when he speaks. He doesn’t convince that he really thinks himself or his decisions in any way to blame for our disastrous position.

This is exactly how I feel praise where it's due and the same when things are shit they should know things are shit, but that performance alone today forget everything else deserves nothing but praise for players, manager and the away fans who will be over the moon as I am.

Only a heartless bastard would take that interview away from him. In his own words, he's turned his family upside down to come here and chance his arm at a big job. This week he wouldn't have been able to turn the phone, computer, TV or radio on without someone sacking him and replacing him. Even the pre match press conference was full of people expressing their surprise at him still being here. None of us have been in that situation and none of us will either. He's been under intense pressure and that was him letting off steam. Some say be professional and ride it out. Way easier said than done when you've just spent a week getting sacked ten times over. Spot on. He’s human and when you have the chance to stick two fingers up at the world emotions do take over. Let him have it. Good for him.

Think the difference here is the level of performance. Felt as good after the leeds win but then it all fell flat, the performance apparently was the difference. I think the board will have seen that today as justification to keep him in a job.
On the other hand could convince hughton or moyes we are not cut adrift just yet

I haven't heard his interview, no doubt frustration, relief, pressure, excitement all coming out from weeks and weeks of built up pressure. But me personally, I couldn't give a flying if starts breakdancing, spinning on his back whilst singing Hong Kong phooey as long as we've won 😁
