I'm sick of everyone slagging jones off, yes he failed to get us to the promise land but he kept us in the championship on a shit budget year in year out! FA cup final! Play off final and another play off place! Yes he failed but its down to the players aswell! The manager cannot play the football, that's down to the players so jones being a failure in the end was down to the players aswel, jones was proven and malkay who is doing amazing he only had 2 years as a manager and is not proven but yet everyone slags jones for not getting us into premier leauge well I say thanks jones for the memories and you did a great job while you was here, yes didn't get us there but he achieved a hell of a lot!

Mate, Dennis Wise got Milwall to an FA cup final yet people really dont claim he's a good manager.

Its always been known that Gus Poyet was the brains behind anything Wise tried to do.....when Poyet left Wise started losing and never got a job again

They were losing anyway, finished 10th or so in the league. Just had luck in the cup run, same as we did.

If I were Northern Irish and it was a choice between Lawrie Sanchez and Dave Jones, I'd be more than happy with Jones. I think he's a decent manager, why wouldn't anyone else?

Shit Budget :lol: He was given the biggest budgets over any manager in the history of CCFC and still managed to bottle it.
If he was that good he would be Forest,Bristol City or Leicester boss by now.He has been found out and nobody wants him or his over inflated ego.
