The board don’t all agree on Jones, so maybe not as close as some think
Not really a surprise when one would imagine jones would want control whereas Scott won’t allow that otherwise he’s out of a job so probably advising not to proceed
Interestingly it is Scott got Jones..
Can you clarify this? You're saying you've heard Jones is Scott's choice? Or the opposite?
Jesus wept, I think we'll actually go down if Johnson gets appointed... He's just been sacked by Fleetwood
In what realm is that good enough for us
Guess it will be poetic if he takes over here, he's been sacked twice already this season by Hibs in August, and then Fleetwood in December - We're looking for our third Manager of the season, he's looking for his third club
In my mind from a purely statistical view, even though it does not tell the whole picture, I don’t think we should be looking at managers who have a career win/loss ration under 40%.

Lee Johnson has a 50% win ratio with Sunderland at this level...
Relax, they aren't going to appoint a manager who just got sacked by a side at rock bottom. They are chancers, but even that would be a stretch too far for these.
No not Lee Johnson, slagged the club and us off after we turned Sunderland over 0-1 at SOL. Agree with @Valley11 if Johnson appointed, I AM FINISHED!!!!!
If Scott's decisions are no longer being sanctioned without scrutiny, he can't be surprised but must feel undermined
You're making an assumption that his decisions on managerial appointments haven't always been with scrutiny.
First team men's manager is a key role, possibly THE key role on the football side (Sorry Karen) so I would expect the rest of the UK directors to have an interest and sign off on who is chosen.
Whether that has changed or whether the US money men are now having an input we don't know.
After two failures Scott and the rest of the UK directors will most likely be under more scrutiny from the money men than before.
Or it could just be that Scott wants Jones and the others are saying "let's speak to Lee Johnson first and then we can decide".
Personally, I think in a well functioning leadership team it is should be good to discuss big decisions and get consensus.
Not that I'm sure we have a well functioning leadership team.
PS Putting Lee Johnson's name in the hat was just a joke....or was it?
Not a chance with Lee Johnson..
I'd go back and check with your source if I was you
so, Nathan Jones gets appointed tomorrow & then we scrabbling around for half a dozen of "his" players before 11pm on Thursday. Great planning guys.
As long as he’s appointed that’s fine. There’s plenty of quality to work with in that squad to implement his style and get us to mid table. Then the summer to shape who he wants for a push at promotion.

If he knows who he wants then I’m sure they’ll have already tested the waters with the respective clubs. Could it be that they are over budget players and that’s the issue?
Even if the Dunce Jones Boy, assisted by Lively Lee Johnson is appointed, I'll still be an Addick .. I'm told my addiction is incurable as is my penchant for self delusion

Heckingbottom 4/6
Duff 4/1
Eustace 8/1
Jones 12/1
We are looking at better managers than championship clubs currently FWIW.
