Clubs do it all the time (maybe not our club, as they are inept).
However, Jones looks like he knew the writing was on the wall weeks ago. Swift sacking post season. If (and it's a big if) the club was planning properly they would have a manager in mind and would be informally discussing recruitment.

In any case, most coaches would like a regular, hard working goal scoring in this league as a signing.
