I have it on good authority that Alan Pardew is being seriously considered.

what happens if we beat Forest (perhaps, say, thanks to the laws of probability rather than any acumen by NJ), and then go a further seven games without a win? Is Friday a 'factory re-set' meaning the first eight games are meaningless? Excellent point. My answer is no. The performance is what we must look at. The same applies if we lose. Obviously we cannot continue without results irrespective of performance but the most depressing aspect so far for me is not just the results but the fact that despite having a squad that is good enough ( yes I believe it is ) we do not look or function like a team that has even basic organisation or method. I was happy when we appointed this manager but the performances are depressingly poor - give us a sign things are improving or get a new man in.

Let me put your mind at ease... the club are in an absolute shocking state. Local owners, mega rich, manageable serviceable debt, parachute payment remaining, own the ground, superb new training complex, academy starting to produce results. With respect, there aren't many clubs in the championship who can tick all those boxes. Unless some kind of Road to Damascus epiphany occurs, it looks as though they've made 3 poor managerial appointments. They were brave decisions made in good faith. Sometimes a calculated risk doesn't work out as you hoped. Could happen to anyone. I seem to remember you advocating Gary Rowett while Mark Hughes was still here. Tick as many boxes as you want but being mega rich and having shiny new facilities count for nothing unless you put the hard yards in. The club is being run from top to bottom appallingly which is affecting us on and off the pitch and alienating supporters. Name one important decision these owners have made in the past 5 years that has been correct.

Take it or leave it but Ive been told by someone who is close to the club that the players have no respect for Jones. They have basically stopped playing for him. Would they mind letting us know when it is that they started?

I said weeks ago they weren't playing for him, it was clear as the nose on your face. Whether they would play for another manager is another thing.

Is Friday a 'factory re-set' meaning the first eight games are meaningless? That's exactly the way I think Void, I find it unbelievable when some people say "we just need that one win......" Yeah,then what??? Some people seem to think a team that's forgotten how to win is suddenly going to reboot and hammer all comers. I've heard Fulham from a few years ago mentioned- not exactly like for like as they had Slavisa Jokanovic, a proven manager at this level. They had Steve Sessgnon, we have James McClean. Jokanovic's teams were also famous slow starters whereas we are just shit.

I respectfully disagree if we had a winning culture in place we would have ridden out the storm. When we were in the Prem the issues were merely masked. This club needs to be rebuilt from the ground up (literally). I respectfully disagree that you can’t mask 3 9th place finishes on the trot in the PL. I think you're missing my point - it was unsustainable.

More dithering, he'll be in charge until the international break no doubt.... What if everyone approached so far is saying no? Sending out the message that we are desperate and that gives the next manager the upper hand in negotiating any deal to take on the challenge

jones should not be anywhere near the ground ,never mind the team come Friday.if he is still in charge against forest it will be the same old tactics and the same shit formation,the board are just dithering and hoping that things will come good for him, they won't.

My view is that they’ll will give him Friday and possibly even next Tue. That will leave one game before the international break which, depending on results from the previous two games will either see NJ in charge or a caretaker.
Any new appointment will be in place in time to have a look at the Squad and do some coaching work over the international break.

No manager is going to succeed here until most of that board go and take places on a local cub scout board because that's about the limit of their skill set. Nothing changes until they sort that out.

Any other result than a win and he's off.

I think the International Break is his deadline. He probably needs at least 6 points from the next 3 games to keep his job.

It does seem that -as nice as they , and as patient as they are, they are actually decent people. They are now trying to save face and no other manager is interested in a basket case. 18th century values are not necessarily wrong, what is wrong is that they have been well and truly duped, very naive, but they are genuinely very decent people

Pardew - a million times better record than Toxic Tony who people are desperate to come back.
Someone with some charisma in the dugout. Warming to the idea me.

Boris Johnson has charisma, he's a scummy useless bastard as PM though. I'd like my manager to have a clue about tactics personally, pretty minor thing that I suppose.
