Dave Jones did a bloody good job at the club, with sod all money and the threat of administration hanging over you.

If I were a bluebird I'd welcome DJ, he's a known quantity who's given you some of your best times in the last fifty years.

Disagree, spent silly wages on players who were way past!

We've been here tried and failed, we need to kick on for the best of the club!


Dave jones at the club in any format is the wrong option.

We cannot go with an option of the unknown either in cooper and co... We need to make this work immediately!

Y on earth would we possibly want this rude ignorant pig of a man back. Showed total lack of respect for history our derby match v Swansea and once said our fans were nowhere near how wolves fans backed there team. Also failed to get us up with a clutch of quality players . Please do one Dave and f**k off .

He gained a reputation for being the bridesmaid rather than the bride when it came to promotion as the club stumbled from one playoff disappointment to another. This is a little unfair as we know how hard it is to get over the line in this league.

I have never been a fan of DJ's because of the brand of football he tends to adopt, but could the better resources allow him to expresse a more creative side?

Who knows? I guess there's only one way to find out!

:bluescarf:


Are you sure you've got the right bloke ? We played lovely football under DJ. He just couldn't get us promoted




Only twice did we win under dj after going a goal behind....


Interesting stat :thumbup:



Yes I am sure I have the correct bloke. I was very complimentary actually. He has had a bad press in some cases, but you can't say the football was beautiful because it wasn't successful. I gave reasons for that in mitigation but you seem to focus on the negative. (First reply, not you guys who answered after).

DJ was a descent man. As a DoF, he would squeeze the last drop out of the lemon in terms of recruitment which will be a huge plus (and maybe why Tan likes him so much). My point was that given more money, (and hopefully more talent as a result) he would probably be able to go for a more expansive and adventurous style. That isn't disrespectful at all surely.
