It's mad but i wouldn't be surprised if he left us for Cardiff, I dont want him to go but he has form doing it to Luton twice.
All that said im reserving judgement on Jones to either -
A) the end of the season, if we finish playoff then i dont really care bout the style
we get in a postion where playoffs are unachievable
Given the changes in players, style and practically everything else I’d be very pleased to see us get top six in Jones’s first full season. My guess is that it’s next season when we should “expect “ promotion. For me although I obviously want success, is a free hit for Jones. He’s laying the groundwork. To expect instant success is quite an ask imho.
Firstly I hope and don’t think Jones is going anywhere. Should what I’ve just written turn out to be bollox then it will have only been Jones forcing a move. Some things are just beyond the control of the club. It would I feel be disastrous and set us back into a slide and probable league one mediocrity again. Quite who we could get that would replace and continue the improvement Jones has overseen is a mystery. Personally I think Jones is in his best job since Luton. He knows the club well. Seems to have persuaded the owners to give him financial and complete control and is backed by any supporter with an ounce of sense.
If he does go then we could do worse than looking at the Lincoln manager. Nearly had them in the playoffs last season and doing pretty well again this season after losing quite a few key players + having mcgrandles in midfield.
If we're as terrible as everyone seems to think then surely Cardiff won't want him anyway
Have you seen how bad Cardiff are?
Sure, but you don't then replace the manager with a L1 manager whose team play horrible football and will be midtable by the time the clocks go back just because he's from there, that would be crazy

Sorry, should've been clearer I was just making a joke!
It is, I meant the rapid evolution from someone opining that if things turn sour they won’t be surprised if NJ is gone by Christmas to five pages of people discussing Charlton fans losing their heads and wanting him gone.

If things go sour, things will go sour. Good insight there, that does nothing but introduce that angle into the conversation.
Then when you get pulled up on having introduced that angle to the conversation, you can play the “that’s not what I said” card knowing full well that post is the only reason it’s being discussed in the first place.
Maybe / probably it wasn’t malicious but it is a common internet trolling tactic……
once again Chinese whispers are in full overdrive …. There no way Jones will leave a safe job like Charlton where he has full control to go to a risky job at Cardiff that he could be out of a job in 6 months time … he just started out on a 4 year project that he wants to be part of ..
Yeah, I remember you telling us endlessly that Alfie May wasn't going as well. Bad news if you think this, as your success rate is about 10%, which is quite poor with a 50% chance.
He wasn’t that’s why he moved in with his brother .. but things changed very quickly

I always thought he had moved in with his dad Brian and mum Theresa. Didn’t realise he moved in with his brother James.
I think the real frustration is that, if Miles were to come back in a week or two, we could be very close to being a very decent side. Prior to Saturday, the defence was sorted. A fit Miles could transform the attack, so the area that really needs addressing is the midfield, which looks completely sterile and has done so in every game this season. Everyone seems to be able to see it, except Jones it would seem, both in the type of players he's recruited, and in now believing that the problem instead lies with the Centre Half not playing the ball on the ground enough.
Stepping back and looking at the big picture, we have built a great base on which to build, but if we are to really kick on, Jones needs to address the midfield problems quickly, and not mess with the one area that he's already got sorted.

I am very disappointed with your comments Callum, I used to have a lot of time for you and we have in the past had a bit of banter about your obsession with stats but labeling me as a troll is way off the mark.
I am 67 years old, do not have any social media accounts and only know what trolling is via reading it on this site.
I am a realist and post what I feel, I have been supporting Charlton for 56 years, most of which have been season ticket seasons. Before Roland took over I was spending £10k a season on 4 x season tickets and hospitality at every home game as well as match sponsorship.
I have served my time and earned the right to post whatever ever I feel without snide remarks accusing me of “trolling” and “playing a card”
If you want me to bounce around like the Duracell bunny, wearing rose tinted glasses, predicting we will win every week and that Ahadme will come good, forget it.
I stand by what I said and would not be surprised if NJ is gone by Christmas however I never said I hope he is or that I want him gone.
As AFKA said it’s a huge over reaction to a personal view that I have written on a discussion forum. And the fact the follow up from posters such as yourself was to label me and shut me down says a great deal about the direction this site is going in.

Particularly the ones that befriend them.
