Well, being a floating fan with no real affinity, you're probably not best qualified to understand when a fanbase turns on the manager but we certainly never hound out club legends like your lot did to Neil Harris. Given the utter shite we were playing, i'm surprised NJ had as much support left as he did at that point. I was for keeping him but only because we couldn't keep sacking managers - the team were dreadful and i get he's upset and nobody should be abused / cross the line. He can suck it up or give some back, i'm not fussed, i get it. He was doing a shit job then and hadn't earnt the right like a club legend might expect, for patience. Here endeth your lesson.Woodwork said:
Having spent a lot of time at both The Valley and The Den, I actually think Millwall fans are more patient. They are certainly less entitled. I think that is what upset Jones. Charlton have spent the majority of the 21st Century playing League One football, & finished in its lowest position since having to apply for reelection in 1926. Yet despite not being out of touch of the play-offs, fans turned on him. Despite him having to rebuild squad & the whole club after a decade or more of neglect.DOUCHER said:
on that basis, no wonder he turned millwall down then and went to us despite being in a division lower - won't be surprised if he takes an assistants role at footscray lions girls under 9'sWoodwork said:
Playing devil’s advocate… Jones wasn’t happy with how quickly a significant amount of fans turned on him, before even half the season was out. In fact, he seemed fuming. So he may think that if things start to look sticky again, he’ll be turned on again.Northern_Monkey said:I’d be surprised if he went. The lure of Mansfield, Lincoln and the like vs the games in Championship doesn’t seem compelling, even as a fan. He has said the board are supportive, the fans are behind him, so why do that when he could always consider at a different time when further along with us?
If he does go that would probably sound alarm bells with the backing being given.I think the difference is, when Millwall fans turn on you, they really turn on you. And they also tend to turn on the players more often than the manager. I think that is because they think players should give their all, no matter who the manager is or how bad he is.@Henry Irving is this okay with you, sir? As I replied to a direct post.

Perhaps Jones will go to Plymouth Argyle then? As by this metric, they must be one of the biggest clubs in England. Them or Gillingham.stonemuse said:
Cambridge definitely a larger club according to ChatGPT 😉carly burn said:
Quite. As you well know with HarrisMillwallFan said:You wouldn’t blame him for leaving to go to a much bigger club, even if it means dropping down a division. Charlton was always going to be a stepping stone for him.
.....going to Cambridge.While Millwall’s immediate catchment area is within a densely populated metropolis, the presence of multiple football clubs in London creates a competitive environment for fan allegiance. In contrast, Cambridge United benefits from a more defined regional presence, allowing for a much larger support base.
In summary, Millwall has access to a larger urban population, but this is tempered by the competitive landscape of London football. Cambridge United, while based in a smaller city, potentially has a more concentrated and loyal regional fan base due to its unique position within the local community.

Where were in the league when fans turned on him?Woodwork said:
It is when the club has played most of the last 15 years in League One, under poor managers and awful owners. Jones probably thought he was doing a good job turning the club around, but then had a load of angry middle-aged men shouting at him before it was even Christmas.The Red Robin said:
Millwall are content with mid-table Championship football as the majority of their fan base have never experienced higher. There’s nothing entitled about Charlton fans wanting to be a tad higher than mid-table in League One. Charlton in The Championship is bear minimum.Woodwork said:

To be fair, I do think catchment area is important. Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham City, Derby County, Norwich City, Ipswich Town, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion all benefit from being regional clubs.Leyton Orient are unlucky, as they have to share a catchment area with three globally recognised & successful football clubs in West Ham, Arsenal and Spurs. The SE London clubs do not have that problem. As all three could claim to ‘represent’ SE London. However, Palace have now moved massively ahead in that sense, sadly.5 -
I just watched the Wembley behind the scenes video and seeing Jones' reaction to the win again has convinced me there's no way he's leaving.
I think it meant too much for him to just walk away, even if it is with the team he supported as a kid.
