Miller - He's Out (pg 25)

[StannyCFCJET]

So if Miller was able to turn things around be making some signings then I suppose we should also all calm the **** down and allow Jones the same latitude??

Because as you said signings improve the squad

Signings like Georgevski Shabow and the other 10 who be arriving??

Maybe then results improve also??

Difference is Jones had more resources in January then Miller but didnt make any signings, Miller didnt have a system that was working until said signings, Jones did but changed it and look what happened. Final point Jones doesnt care about eh F3 derby so he can get ****ed

I'm on the Jones out side, but really? Did Jones really have more resources? Why are you saying he does?

I don't think he necessarily did because firstly, players need to be available and secondly, players also have to want to come! We went for Bridge - and he'd be here if he didn't get injured. What impact would he have made - who knows. We got Allwright who filled the NPL void left by Brennan. Also keep in mind, any savings under the cap can be moved into the next season too - perhaps the value wasn't there so we banked it for next year (if there's any)

And no denying Jones made that statement about the derby. But he said it in the press conference right after his team have lost 3-0. Who knows where his head was at - he was probably annoyed at the result and thinking about the questions about the Wanderers performance. Of course he'd know who we'd be playing but in the heat of the moment perhaps he forgot? If he said "Next week's the derby and that's our primary focus" he'd be getting blasted for "obviously not preparing well enough for this game because he's thinking only about the derby - that's why we lost.". What is disappointing for me is he hasn't come out and corrected the statement to stop stupid chat like this.

Don't listen simply to retort - listen and respond to understand. Think about it.

No point arguing in this thread - Miller has gone.

What resources did Jones have in January??
The entire limit of our spending was NYL or NPL players.

Reality is the FFA backed Miller more in mid season window than Ledman has backed Jones in the mid season window

That is not even up for debate

Jones has changed his system how??
We still playing the same formation we have 95% of the season .

Don't let the facts get in the way of your rant though
Keep going

Jones had backing from a rich China man saying funds were available. Milller had the FFA behind doing sweet **** all except saying the Jerks were worth 5mil

As the CEO repeatedly stated, the Jets were not going to spend for a marquee this season. Ledman wanted to come in, assess the club and look at how the books balance before spending outside the cap.

So this rich China man theory you going on

No dispute that Lee is wealthy.

But can you elaborate on all these investments he has made into the club ??


Because other than purchase the club and foot the bill his generosity in the transfer market to both Miller and Jones has been pretty lacking

If you're asking us to give Jones an off-season, you need to allow the same for Ledman. As with Jones, the squad was all-but locked in when he arrived

I haven't been critical of the Chinese Lightsalesman

This off season though is an acid test as to whether this bloke is real deal or just a token owner and we been screwed by the FFA shafting us with a lemon

OK.

And yes, I agree. A number of fans will be won or lost through his actions this off-season.
