I wonder when it will register with owners that maybe its the players who are to blame & if you keep selling your best players & replacing them with inferior ones or ones from the the academy then you are on the road to ruin.
I've heard of some excuses for a defeat but I have to say that this is one of the more unique ones from Nathan Jones!
“To me the 10 men was to our detriment because it made it a free hit for them in terms of stuff,”
“It added more pressure on us and it shouldn’t be like that – we should then control the game."
If, as a Manager, you cannot galvanise your side to beat the opposition that then has 10 men for 70 minutes (when you are winning too) and then have to use that as an excuse, you shouldn't be that surprised if you are shown the door the very next day.

Charlton have never been good at playing against 10 men, we have very rarely been able to take advantage of this.

Agreed. But how many times have we lost from a winning position when going down to 10? And how many times has the Manager then used the fact that we have had to play against 10 men to lose from that position?
It is deflection but the fact is that Jones might just be suited to managing a smaller club in a position or where there is less expectation - he has a winning percentage of 47% at Luton and as opposed to a combined percentage of 21% at Stoke/Southampton.
Despite a valiant attempt by Southampton and Jones, Charlton continue to head the table for shortest tenure for a Prem Manager. There is much disappointment in Southampton as they did have Les Reed the record holder on their books as Director of Football for sometime and it is believed he had left a blue print for achieving this status.

Of course, Southampton didn't play for 38 days so Jones probably would have been second to the one and only Les Reed but for the World Cup.
I have always felt that Les Read was caretaker manager. I cant remember what was said at the time but seeing as he was part of the setup, was already in the building & didn't need to be recruited its harsh to say that he was a permanent manager. We were always going to bring in someone long term & as soon as Pardew was available it was obvious where we would go.
Potter's job must be on the line. We all know it would be stupid to sack 2 managers in a season but Chelsea's current form must mean Potters days are numbered.

I'd be very happy if he was our manager for the start of next season.

definitely permanent manager
No not that one, Warnock to Stoke. A penny for them @bobmunro?
Seems to be able to get the best out of players.
Motherwell expect to appoint a new manager this week, with Grant McCann, Ian Holloway and caretaker boss Stuart Kettlewell the last three contenders.
What a contrasting set of options!
