Jones is Out (pg 49)

[plague]

During that 'good' run mid season where (most) agreed that the football was better to watch, am I crazy for thinking the front 6 was a fairly consistent run of Uge/Poljak, Hoole/Nabbout, Chinese Messi/Nobby?

Is that how others remember it?

[evanhayes5]

I just think Jones is tactically inept, why would you play Hoffman or Johnny K at left back when Vujica is there? Pre-injury he was playing well i would say.

In the A-league off seasons most coaches go to europe or south america to scout players, Popa for example, albeit his visa signings this seasons have been shit, there is a proactive approach in trying to make the squad better. Does anyone really think Jones is the sort of coach to do this? He'll most likely go to asia, holiday there, and say he was scouting some asian players.


The only way he will be able to attract players is by paying overs for them, i.e Petratos.

Yes. That's exactly how it was. As soon as Jones started putting his stamp on the team and ****ing about with a winning formula it all went to shit.

Martinez is dope.

But I hear ya.

The reason I am not bagging Jones as I recognise something here

Banging our heads against a wall changing coaches every season has achieved **** all for us


Hey we have done it again and again
Results speak for themselves

All you ****ers are doing right now is trying to repeat the situation again

Jones was never going to be able to fix the club this season when he come in at last minute

Where Jones opportunity is to turn this club around is and always has been is this off season and onwards

So me I happy to keep going down the road with Jones as until he has had an opportunity to address our short comings this off season anyone who says he can't coach is talking out of their arse.

Because no **** could coach these idiots to anything

You say this like we don't have a complete squad overhaul every season too.

Fact is we haven't had a genuinely good coach in how long? Maybe ever.

Yes to your summary Plague and this need of Jones to fart ass about with several changes to accommodate one out.

didnt someone get injured/suspended? but then we never went back to that group?

just wondering why it seemed we went away from it.



also, put a 'better' striker at the top of that group and (if we're rollin in cash) a more consistent #10 that Lei Lei and id rate our chances against any team.

now, as for the 4 behind them. geez, good luck with that.

disrest

Can confirm this is not actually a word

[Grimario]

Yes. That's exactly how it was. As soon as Jones started putting his stamp on the team and ****ing about with a winning formula it all went to shit.

Did it also coincide with a left footed left back playing at left back and not a converted striker/winger/right back or right back/centre back/centre mid being stuck there?

Chinese bloke was suspended. Then everyone cried cause Kokko wasn't included. Then he scored a tap in v the shit gypo team. Then everyone cheered. Then he stayed in the team. Then everyone realised we still just shit.

Turning the spell checker off on a tiny shitty phone sees me create new ones every day

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Correct.
So from an owner/CEO point of view they are asking what's best:
1. Replace the 10-15 players who seem to be the problem


Or


2. Replace the coach.

Whats cheaper?

[plague]

Whats cheaper?

Yup.

Any decent Manager makes subs or tactical changes at half time.

I have a feeling this thread might be redundant by Monday. I cannot see Jones keeping his job.

[weston]

Jones out!
