He did plenty of feckin harm to us in his short stay! Yeah but i don’t think it was malicious, he just believed his own hype and executed things very badly. It’s hard to hate him for his time here. He tried, it was just a poor partnership.

Would it have worked out better if we had him here before Rowett? The money Rowett wasted,Jones would have had to spend putting together what team he needed. I doubt it. I get the feeling (like I do with Mad Nath) that some managers suit a club better following a certain kind of manager. Mad Nath after TP possibly but not after Hughes (where the dressing room was a disaster zone) - following Hughes has stalked a few careers that previously were on the up. After Hughes we needed an older and strong disciplinarian to kick the club back into shape in my opinion and not an up and coming manager with potential.

As long as he's elsewhere I couldn't care less what he does. Absolute disaster. mON did a great job getting is out of the mess he left. We were going down without question

If maniacal passion counted, he'd win the Prem easily. He should never have left Luton in the first place. Both they and us would have been far happier if he'd stayed. I happen to like eccentric people and even though I know he was rubbish for us, I can't find it within me to dislike the nutter. As for his religious leanings... at least he's not a Jehovah's Witness. OS. Yes, I like his eccentric lunacy and as such can’t really dislike him. With us I saw a man who desperately wanted things to work but was slowly being broken by the fact it wasn’t.

Sometimes a manager and club are just a bad fit for each other, especially at certain times. He wasn't what we needed and we weren't what he needed at that point in time. I hope it doesn't deter us from rolling the dice on an up and coming young manager in the future. We seem to get more than our fair share of 'bad fits' (and mediocre fits as well)

Jones could still be here had a couple of fine margins gone our way instead of against. After he joined, almost every mistake one of our players made was punished by a goal conceded. But when things went wrong, he didn't seem to deal at all well with the pressure and his position was past untenable before he left. Wrong place, wrong time.
And unlike Rowett, he signed players who can be considered successful signings. Although I don't get why he didn't play Powell at times. The same with Bojan. Not to mention the diamond debacle, but maybe he was working towards that.
I do wonder how Jones' career will progress, and looking on think he might need to find a more even keel with his emotions, or at least how he portrays them. It must be great when it's going well, but how must his negativity have come across to the Stoke squad?
I won't be surprised if he ends up at Barcelona in 10-15 years time. Equally, I won't be surprised if he has a good managerial career but doesn't manage in the top division.

I genuinely wince whenever I see his face.
This is a whole other level though. What a fucking tool.

If he ever wins anything significant ...
... they'll have to rush him by ambulance to a dance-club.

He should be given manager of the season now. Apart from wycombe they have the worst squad in the league and he's got them in the mix for play offs. Maybe it's just one of those fits? Like Jimmy at Burton?

Took it to the next level last night He is a complete and utter fruit loop. How were any of us taken in by this charlatan? I think he'd spontaneously combust if he actually ever won anything. Fair play to him, I love his passion. He didn't seem to fit here but his record at Luton is unbelievable. LG, this is how. It was shocking how many people he took in with his 'pashun' schtick and even moreso how long they fell for it for! He was more transparent than the most polished plate glass window going but the maddening thing was nobody could see through it, or even wanted to such was the desperation for him to succeed in turning it around. As soon as he wrote off the remainder of the season he joined he should have been sacked. He was out of his depth for the situation he found himself in and the boards inability and unwillingness to long term plan for change at the club led to us ending up with him. I thought I'd never despise a bloke more than Cotterill or see a clown bigger than Kamara (who, possibly through the folly of youth, I desperately wanted to succeed) but 'Mad' Nath topped the lot.
