Now we’re 11 games post Jones, and I think we can all agree that our fortunes (not to mention goals, points, performances) have improved. Is there anyone still out there (and he had his loyal fans until his final day) who is still backs Jones? And would want him to have had this transfer window?
For me, the past 11 games (minus Boro) just shows what a disaster he was. He stuck to his failing principals like his life depended on it - and it turned out to be one of the darkest times in our recent history. I can’t see him getting another job when clubs can see the difference MON has made with the same squad, just minus Badou.

I don’t think we needed the 11 games.
It was obvious he was toss from early on.
An absolute fraud.

I don’t think he stuck to his principles at all, he was all over the place, consistently inconsistent. In fact if he was more consistent he might have done better

I think in hindsight we can all agree the job was just way too big for him. He looked genuinely poorly by the end.

He was completely out of his depth. Period. The sooner we forget that he was ever present at our club the better

I also can't see anyone hiring him. He would do better as a chicken farmer or something. I'm sure the salary that we are paying him should set him up quite nicely.

Nathan Jones was the most catastrophic and devastating thing to hit on this club since the gales of January 1976.

He seems a really great bloke and I hope he can do a good job lower down. But this job really started to effect him badly, never good to see
With him the best of luck

It was the wrong job for him in the end, there was just to much to do, players out, FFP etc, with that and then trying to implament a system that he didn't really have the players for it was always too much for him, calling him a fraud seems a bit much, he did well at Luton and I can see him doing it again at some point, just at a club that isn't such a mess.

More of a mature gentleman People loved it though. I never got it but people did. Like after whatever the game was that was his first win this season in about 11 games. What a tool but folk lapped it up.

I gave him shit when he was doing it and got a few looks. Then one other bloke joined in 😂

I don’t think he stuck to his principles at all, he was all over the place, consistently inconsistent. In fact if he was more consistent he might have done better I agree. I think we would have got more points if he didn’t scramble around and make 6-7 changes every game. It’s still making it a challenge now to find good partnerships and understanding in the team. More than anything, the stability in selection O’Neill has installed has been great. It’s made us look deflated at times, but after so many changes early on in the season, in formation, personnel and tactics, it was necessary. Maybe now the squad can settle a bit and accommodate changes when needed, like it did today, knowing exactly what the manager wants from them.

I actually defended Jones until the the very end. I dont know what I was thinking, I watch our old games back and my god we were a complete shambles. We still are shit, but nowhere near as shit.

he seemed a genuine fella, and i wanted him to succeed, sadly right from the off my fear was that he was being asked to deal with a different kind of football, one that he wouldn't have been around before, its one thing to motivate a player that's young or even a little short on ability and get them running through walls but he was asked to do a whole different thing with a room full of overpaid prima donnas that for the most part couldn't give rat ass about anything other than their collective bank balances

But this job really started to effect him badly, never good to see With him the best of luck I'm not sure how you can say that he was a 'nice bloke', in what way? To me he was a complete narcissist. The only bloke who matters to Nathan Jones is Nathan Jones. The bloke is a total fruitcake, a fraud of a manager and a tool.
