If there was no Dave Jones

If you look at the squad on Soccerbase and take away all players that have joined in the last two years. Two years being the length of time some people are saying Dave Jones should have gone and so if he had gone then we can assume that anyone who's come in since wouldn't have.

The new manager would have inerited players that have been at the club onger than two years. These would have been:

2 Kevin McNaughton (D) 6 Gabor Gyepes (D) 4 Gavin Rae (M) 7 Pete Whittingham (M) 10 Stephen McPhail (M) 9 Jay Bothroyd (F)

Chances are that the new manager would have tried to off load those 6 players as well since then because that's what they tend to do.

Players that wouldn't be in the current squad now are:

1 David Marshall (G) 22 Tom Heaton (G) 30 Jordan Santiago (G) 3 Lee Naylor (D) 5 Mark Hudson (D) 12 Dekel Keinan (D) 14 Paul Quinn (D) 11 Chris Burke (M) 19 Jason Koumas (M) 20 Seyi Olofinjana (M) 25 Jay Emmanuel-Thomas (M) 27 Adam Matthews (M) 49 Jonathan Meades (M) 8 Michael Chopra (F) 16 Jon Parkin (F) 39 Craig Bellamy (F) 49 Nathaniel Jarvis (F) 23 Darcy Blake (M) 24 Aaron Ramsey (M)

The truth is if Dave Jones had left two years ago then our current squad would have been completely different.
