Would you take Dave Jones back?

Personally I would. Although things went bitter when he left I think a fresh start would be best for everyone concerned. As long as he would come back and give the place a lift rather than be his miserable self which we seen from 2009 onwards. With the squad we have if be willing to put everything I have on us getting top 2 then staying up next year if he was given the funds.

Bring him back I say, Bellamy in the background. And no I'm not on a wind up

We'll considering they once lived next door to each other, maybe it's true. They both know each other well, that's for sure.

Not for me, he was a really good manager, and did well with the resources provided. But I don't like the idea of going back.

If he got the job over Pulis, I would 100% give him my support, but we need a new fresh approach,

Pulis please!

its jones job you watch

Dave Jones, yes. Bellamy, no.

If DJ came back, that would be the end for me till hes gone, cant stand the tw*t many reasons why

How come? I'm not trolling, genuine question.

We had an FA cup final, and nearly got promoted with DJ, and that was with a very tight purse.

NO NO NO

No

It's a BIG NO from me. We need to go forwards, not backwards.

But anything is possible with the regime in charge.

The wrong appointment now could put our club back 30 odd years,,,it happened before,,,,remember?

No arrogant f....r who take the credit when it suited him but took the blame when it was his fault. I'll never forgive him for slating Adam Matthews in public. How would he treat Declan John afterthe Norwich game?

A big no from me and let me repeat some of the reasons I gave on a different thread.

No discipline in the changing room.
Made a habit of conceding late goals.
Appalling record of coming back to win after going behind.
Rigid 4-4-2 in every game.
Had "favourite" players who were constantly picked irrespective of form.
Relations with the fans and the media exceptionally poor.
Never able to get over the finish line to promotion.

And what makes people think that he would be a better manager with a bigger budget? Some managers are better at wheeling and dealing and when they're given a bit of money they don't know what to do with it. How do we know Jones would be able to get promotion with more funds available than he had last time?

Please NOT Dave Jones - he'd probably spend all his time on the golf course or watching the netball like he did last time he was here.

Big friggin NO. The club is way out of his depth.

Quite a few short memories in this thread, are people forgetting the way it ended? The atmosphere in the ground was quite hostile towards the end. A few bad results and it'll be exactly the same again. Anyway it's not going to happen, he''s done f**k all since.

The players had no respect for him, certain players even getting pissed before crucial games.
Tactics were non existent, but we played nice football once in every five games.
The collapses and near misses, frequent bottlers.
The arrogance and hatred he had for 'people in this part of the world' was inexcusable.
He left us in a much worst position than when he joined us.
Miserable with no enthusiasm whatsoever.
No motivational skills, hence why we rarely came from behind
Finally, listening to him as a pundit, he doesn't have a clue about the game. Terry Burton must have carried him for years.


Also people go on about Malky's spending to get us promoted, if Dave Jones didn't leave him with around eight first team players, he would have spent much less.

I think that's a fairly balanced assessment

Yes

Fair, but In no way did he leave the club in a worse position than when he came in. When he joined we were averaging around 12,000 fans a game and fighting relegation, when he left we were regular promotion favourites attracting 23,000 a game. Not to mention 3 trips to Wembley.

No. I hope he stays as an advisor to Tan rather than becoming manager. It would only bring unneeded negativity

Sorry, I should have made it clear, I was referring to the squad he sort of took control over to the squad he left us with. Regarding the attendances, the last season at Ninian Park, new ground, cheap season tickets and other incentives had a lot to do with that. It wasn't all bad though, a few trips to Wembley, Boro away in the cup and some exciting football, but it would be a massive mistake if we brought him back to the club.

Never. I hate him

NO NO NO

Paul Hartley or Dave Jones... DJ for me!
