so looking back a few posts back the Nathan Jones "rumour" was put out there purely to boost season ticket sales, now it's all true ffs you couldn't make it up

Re: " The truth about the Nathan Jones rumours "

How can anyone on here possibly know the exact details of the conversations our owner is having with the Charlton owner??

Last week it was 100% definite that Buckingham had been offered the job now a week later it is 100% definite that we want Jones :roll: :roll:

Bit of bullshit going on here I think..won’t believe any of it until the club confirm it!!

Totally out of order to call other people bullshitters - it's also a lie.

This whole "I'll believe it when the club says something" line always makes me laugh.

They're not going to say "we wanted Jones but the compensation was too much" :lol:

Paying over time not unusual but length maybe a bit long but they are receiving extra 12m so they want the lot well walk away and we'll go elsewhere no problem yet! At least club all above board and can't be fairer than that...

I’m not sure why it would make you laugh when someone mentions waiting until the club says something.

Obviously they aren’t going to come out and say about the compensation being too much, but the back and forth on rumours with no real sources and lack of actual substance is just as funny.

To be honest, I'm getting sick of the snarky comments from people on here. There's no need for it.

If people hate rumours so much then I assume they don't want to hear any?

If that's the case, then this forum will be very quiet until August.

I hope to god that nobody posts transfer rumours on here, they'll get their head bitten off.

You can believe this or not believe it. But people putting head roll emojis and calling me a bullshitter is not fair at all.

I came off here yesterday for most of the day because people think it's fine to call me a liar which I'm not. But maybe next time I'll just come off here for good.

I'm assuming all these people don't watch Sky Sports News, don't look at rumours online, don't look at betting odds and don't pay attention to any sort of information/rumours.

I’m not calling you a liar and have actually backed you up on a number of threads.

I’m not actually sure I’ve seen other people call you a liar either.

If we look at the facts, we’ve been told that:

Evatt is being offered the contract.

Buckingham is green lighted to be offered the contract

Jones being chased

Jones not coming

Ramsey 100% not in the frame then 100% definitely in the frame

There’s a lot going on right now and surely fans are allowed to be frustrated.

Worcester relax mate. I don’t think people want the rumours to stop as they generate so much interaction between posters. I feel the problem is these rumours are said with such authority as though are fact, like the Buckingham thread at the time said Buckingham is our next manager. Maybe if it was presented differently some people may not get so upset. I for one are happy to read the gossip on here but take everything with a pinch of salt till the club announce it officially. Which for some reason you find laughable
Which seems a pretty snarky to me.
In the Buckingham post you even said at the end you happy to take any shit if it turns out to not be true which you haven’t been. Do you really want to quit the forum because of a few who have said things about you? It seemed a bit off childish temper tantrum to be honest, and you are better than that.
For me keep the rumours coming as I believe everyone likes to read them just dress them up as rumours rather than fact maybe?
I believe you posted in good faith what you were told but very few I believe will actually know the details, and anything that gets leaked out to the general public is normally by so one with a set agenda for what other reason to get the truth or misinformation out there.

Try not to take things so personally Worcester.

Re: " The truth about the Nathan Jones rumours "

Tue Jun 03, 2025 6:00 pm

I think too many take things said on here literally.

I accept that most things on here are hearsay disguised as fact, and I mean that with no disrespect to anyone.

Tan and his inner circle are tight, managerial snippets are a thing of the past. I think that snippets are either let out deliberately to create misdirection. Could the club have offered Buckingham a contract whilst giving Charlton until today, after opening up discussion 2 weeks ago. The Des snippet threw everyone off the scent, Jones was only mentioned super late Saturday, and his bookie's price tumbled on small-time punters putting fivers and tenners on the rumour.

Worcester, i believe you act on good faith, and that's all we can ask.

Re: " The truth about the Nathan Jones rumours "

Tue Jun 03, 2025 6:08 pm

I’m going to repeat 100% Ned’s info is correct

It’s not a rumour it’s true

Re: " The truth about the Nathan Jones rumours "

Tue Jun 03, 2025 6:49 pm

5m for Jones compensation, wages and his backroom staff wages.

That seems a lot but it's the price you pay after gambling for years on the cheapest option available every time.

This is the kind of post we really don’t need. Information is gleaned from a variety of places, including some directly linked with the club (but not the top 3), the press and/or other sources

People, including you, come on this Forum looking for ‘news and/or information’ on the club of their own choice and for you to then make stupid and crass comments like the one above is out of order

You clearly do (quote you) “give a flying f**k with all the bullshit” because you read it and felt compelled to write the piss poor comment you did

Would you rather there be no news (nee no Forum) or would you prefer that people share the knowledge they have in good faith?

It’s really not hard; no one forces you to come on to this Forum, so you can choose to join in or scuttle off somewhere else. It really is that simple! :thumbup: :ayatollah:

Re: " The truth about the Nathan Jones rumours "

Tue Jun 03, 2025 8:35 pm

It’s a ridiculous amount of money for a manager with a limited record of success.

Give that money to a new manager, like Ramsey or a few of the other candidates, in Div 1 and it could be the difference between going back up it not.

No way should we even consider that.

Re: " The truth about the Nathan Jones rumours "

Tue Jun 03, 2025 10:54 pm

Let me turn the clock back to 2011 - when Tan made his first manager the same issues are happening now .
Does he ever learn ??? and look at how many managers have followed and the easy options along the way :( :roll:

Gents,

That is the Truth. tan wanted to pay it over years and as we know he can’t be trusted as it would stop after the first year and another court case.

So yes it is about how we would pay the compensation.

Pay whats required for the best Manager you can get, then the best Striker you can get (although Salech great in our case) and then the best keeper you can realisticly get then work from there. The three key appointments to success.

What did you hear about Des and Jones?

Re: " The truth about the Nathan Jones rumours "

Wed Jun 04, 2025 11:07 am

Warning * Pure Speculation *

I am losing my £3 on Des. Jones must be coming. They would have quashed this by now. I know it's only our little parts of South Wales & South London that this affects, but he may be ready to sign and they waiting to line up someone up.

They are swimming in bigger tank than ours at the moment. They could get one of the trendy names Cooper, Edwards, Selles or O'Neil. London is a big draw if you can afford the better parts and these boys can.
