Blackpool local paper:
"It was reported last week that Jones was Blackpool's first-choice for the role, but it's understood the Welshman has doubts.
The former Luton Town man is reluctant to relocate to the Fylde coast and is still receiving a payoff from his last job at Stoke City, where he was given the boot in November of last year."
Nice to know we're still lining his pockets! Well done, Stoke!

It was either that or keep him on, which would you prefer?

Let's hope that he takes the job. That would be a fair old lump of wages off the books. (FFP and all that).
It would be God help Blackpool if he did though.

He's still monitoring the situation at Man City. If it's reduced to a 1 year European ban, he'd think about taking it.

I'd be wary about that job too in all fairness.

Well it worked ok for Red Rum.

I ask this question every time one of our numerous ex-managers from the last couple of years looks like they might land another job.
What has whether they get another job or not got to with our contractual obligation to pay their wages to contract end since they were not in breach of contract when terminated?

He'll be aiming higher than this and I don't doubt he'll get it. He'll get a championship rebuild job where the manager leaves early in the summer. Somewhere forward thinking imo. Wouldn't surprise me him getting Norwich if farke got a better job.

Mmm...I'm not sure it's as simple as that. We may be paying him still, effectively for unfair dismissal, but he has no job. If it were true the implication would be Blackpool would need to match the wages we are paying him or he is signing up to a pay cut. Even if they somehow do match his wage at Stoke City he would be working for free in effect. It doesn't add up for me but I'm no expert.

If Mad Nath chooses to retire, he sees the contract out. If, on the other hand, he wishes to resume his career as a manager - he needs to get working again.

I think there is an element of, being out of the game too long. Like someone such as Alan Curbishley for example. Depends if he wants to get back in to management (all signs say he does) or is quite content walking the dog and spending his fortune, living comfortably in relative obscurity.

I'd be wary about that job too in all fairness. Why? Now the previous owners of the club (The odious Oystons) are gone it is a decent club with a rather nice stadium for the level of football it is playing in. And if you want a club with history, then Blackpool gives you plenty of that - more than we have as it happens. Or do you think that the Matthews Cup Final involved Stoke?

In recent years you'd have to be totally mad to go anywhere near the Blackpool job. Are things better now?

Wouldn't surprise me him getting Norwich if farke got a better job. I'd be amazed if any Championship club gave him a job after his abject failure with the budget and resources he had at his disposal here. He'll probably get a League 1 job based on where he got Luton to prior to joining us. Problem is there's no L1 job offering him more than our payoff! It's all down to how hungry NJ is to work and rebuild his reputation again.

It passed me by that the convicted rapist Owen Oysten didn't still own it! In that case I'm inclined to agree.

About his level but, as some of you know, I love that club and would hate to see him there.

I think he sits in The Apprentice category for me. Like most of the candidates who believe that talking about hard work and desire and knowledge leads to results is misplaced.
