Nathan Jones needs to rebuild what WAS a very good reputation but somewhat tarnished with the shambles at Southampton last year. I’d definitely like to see him back in our colours
The problem Jones has now isn't just that he failed with Saints in the Premier League, every manager fails and it was a high level, it's that he made himself look absolutely mental across the course of his reign. Being tactically out of his depth and indecisive is one thing but all his viral interviews where he managed to come across as both arrogant and insane along with it is going to make chairmen think twice about whether or not they want to work with him. It's a shame but he's only got himself to blame
We are a CV wrecker, his is plummeting as it is. I cannot see it, but would be pleased to get him here. Ultimately I feel we'll only get a yes man. We can be interested in whoever but if you are not going to support with players and offer a decent wedge we are on a loser.
Nathan Jones would be an excellent appointment (someone change my mind?). I think his debacle at Southampton and his previous history with the club could make him gettable. I have a feeling he’d be ok with the DoF structure stuff as well.
I think some of the reporting is a little unfair on Andy Scott, Cawley's article does state that he has contacted a number of managers both in and out of work to ask if they would like to be considered for the role (as well as those applying separately).
That's a standard process - the fact that Ferguson said no is only being reported for headlines - DF basically said no thanks I'm happy where I am, so he comes off the list. If Bonner, Jones, Moore etc have all been approached and remain on that list then I'm sure our collective view would be different, but we won't know that just yet.
I agree its poor to offer Powell an interim role and a stupid own goal.
There's too much reactionary emotion and noise, it wasn't going to work under Holden and they've made their decision. I'm watching on intently, they're at a crossroads early on with the fan base... lets see how they respond this week.
This is exactly how I see it. I think some of our fanbase need to relax a little bit.
We have had how many years of s*** since Curbs left? We're f****** off with it.
Who put up the message on here to say ‘they had a text’ and caused this kerfuffle?
It was chippy who I have met and know and is 100% a solid life long supporter and definitely not a wum. If he got a text, then I believe he got a text. (He is a grumpy git tho’)
Thanks Cat.... Lol I think...
;-) let’s see what your face looks like on the train back to Basingstoke on Saturday…
Someone has just text me and said Bowyer has got the job...
Hope this is true. There are definitely bad things about Bowyer as a manager, but if anyone can unite the fanbase and get us to forget what’s going on upstairs it is him.
Even him coming in and winning a couple of games would transform the feeling of the club and fanbase. Get him in before Saturday as Fleetwood at home is as easy a start you’ll get
Would Bowyer unite the fan base? I don't think so, a large number wanted him out.

The way things are heading we'll possibly make a distinctly average appointment and then get the propoganda out claiming that we felt they were a better fit than our other options which were Pep, Arteta & Klopp.
Did Scott work with Warburton at Brentford? Did well at QPR and left his coaching role with Moyes & West Ham in June because he wanted to get back into management.

We need experience to get us out of this mess.
