If only there was some precedent that could give Millwall a clue that this is bad idea.

You'd think with the mess he left us in and the absolute shambles at Southampton they wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Unbelievable, Jeff!🙄

I think Jones might do well there. They've got some solid Championship performers in a club who see themselves as underdogs in this league. Parallels to Luton.

Enough to fashion a diamond out of though? It’s another club replacing one type of manager with their complete opposite and hoping for the best.

If only there was some precedent that could give Millwall a clue that this is bad idea. Millwall is, to some degree, a lot like Luton. He might very well do a good job there, if they can keep him, when Man United needs their next failure as manager.

I don't think he played a diamond when he returned to Luton. Perhaps he realised when you don't have fullbacks of the quality of James Justin and Jack Stacey that it's not a viable system.

He's one of them bluffers who can talk the talk & impress in an interview. He'd have researched Millwalls squad & have developed flip charts to baffle the Millwall owners mind, thus making him come across as impressive! Heard that one before aswell haven't we.
They'll love his after match on the pitch chest pumping rage after a victory, that'll be right up their street. But a few defeats on the bounce and they'll be thinking they'd be better with the devil they knew!

Good point, hadn’t realised the extent to which he’d abandoned it. Seemed to go with a back three more often than not it seems.

Think he’s another who can do well under limited pressure and expectations. And cannot deal with money and coaching better players with some egos.
Makes me think the best way to get out of this division and back to the prem would’ve maybe been a premier league manager or someone who’s got experience at the highest level or repeated promotions . (I.E Fulham Silva, kompany - Burnley, Farke). Rather than this school of thought that there is a need for a manager with heaps of championship experience our board seems to apply, probable reason for that heaps of experience is they’re not good enough to get out of it.

Surely what Luton have done since his departure tells you that it's certainly as much in spite of him than because of him. And the less that can be said about his tenured with us and Southampton the better.

Jones says that he learned a lot of lessons in his time at Stoke.
However, he then left Luton on the cusp of promotion to take a much better paid job at a bigger club who play in red and white stripes and whose name begins with an S.
Now he's taking over an underperforming Gary Rowett team.

I would have him back in a flash "Bojan? Why are you fans shouting for him? You may as well shout for Rory Delap to come on the pitch" was the point of no return for me I remember it well,the final nail in his coffin when he said that.

I remember a certain amount of shock when he said that and my car stereo took another shouting at and beating! I still can never get over the Nathan Jones interview near the end when they lost a midweek game to Swansea I think and he sounded like a man about to die on the radio and even said as much, something like I guess it’s over for me here now when asked, and then he was still in charge for another loss come Saturday! Utterly astounding, Moses parting the waves has nothing on that man

It’s good to know that we’re not the only club that overplays the importance of how someone can interview. Kevin Muscat feels like a better fit.
Jones has shown he can make or completely break a club and I’m not sure Millwall can take that risk. We just about dodged relegation, Southampton didn’t but I can’t pretend that him taking Millwall down wouldn’t be brilliant.
