Sorry, but I don't buy this LMA thing. They are just a "Trade Union" for managers. I doubt they get much say in agreeing a contract. Yes, they may give advice to their "members" as to the content of it & whether any special clauses should be added or omitted, but in the final analysis if Jones is happy with what we are offering he just needs to sign it.
Seems like there must be some unusual / contentious clauses in it for the LMA to be "making alterations" to it. Probably is a relegation clause or a "freedom to move if a better offer comes along" option being inserted. For his benefit I would say, not ours.
My feelings also. Wouldn’t you expect that someone like Jones would have his own lawyers and not rely on the LMA lawyers (?) who are not directly under his instructions ? Just seems odd to me. Never heard it being an issue before. Perhaps I’ve never noticed but quite what authority or control the LMA have I’m not sure.
My hope is the return of Pan and Chuks will bring the quality we need to stay up. We certainly have enough to stay up, Jonesy just needs to get a tune out of them.
I await all three of their collective appearances with anticipation
Could the LMA thing be because NJ doesn’t have an agent (I have no idea if he has one or not) and they provide free support to their members, like the PFA?
Corrrr. Can you imagine Charlton, Clean Sheet and Win, all appearing in the same sentence! It's like sci-fi. Must be like how people felt when 1984 was released. It'll be one of those, "I remember when I first heard the news." For people that say, "I was there to witness it,", it'll be similar to the 7-6 victory, nobody will believe them.
That in itself shows the difference between someone like Appleton who was happy just to have a job and be the 'coach', and Jones who has quite likely said if you want me, then we're doing things my way and i'm the manager.

Win
Synonyms: gain, get, receive, land [informal]
Antonym: lose, but we all remember that one.
I take it we're all singing that next home game then?
I’m genuinely worried that he doesn’t have the squad to do anything about this but it’s not an appointment that can be criticised .
