That's because he had a shed load of money in lower divisions and so was a success almost instantly second time around.
Unless Nathan hits the ground running back at Luton. Fans won't stay "on side " too long. That's if he has many on side to begin with. Fans won't give him a fair crack of the...
I have no issue with the other poster's slightly bias towards and in favour Nathan but it is delusional that he played a major part in that Play off season.
I have no idea - But the form of the first team, good or bad had very little to do with Nathan, but Brighton only lost once between January 16th till the end of the season and then once in the play offs. So that is hardly a drop in form
Nathan Jones was never CHs ''Right Hand Man'' I can assure you.
Also I never said ''Any Recruitment Failure'' at Stoke was ''Nathan's Failure'' - I said as is normal with any recruitment failure the manager usually ''carries the can'' for that failure
I don't think Nathan Jones played a massive part in CH first season at Albion. A small part in that he might be monitoring players playing in U23s on the way back from injury perhaps.
I have no idea whether Jones was responsible for the success at Luton but he was the Manager, so you have to...
Agreed. He raised his own "Bar" by going in and openly saying . " I'm gonna bring you young hungry athletic players" then he signs Lee Gregory as his " Talisman Striker ".
Lee is a grafter but none of the above so as soon as he equated Lee to that. Everyone would have been aware that he...
The most perfect synopsis I have ever seen. And if they had moved after maybe say 8 games they might have turned it around but to wait till your 6 wins off the play offs with 23 clubs ahead of you. You shouldn't be surprised that it gets harder to find someone with the skills to turn it around...
He might end up as Manager if Hearts if Stoke get a move on. I hope so anyway so that Hearts don't make a move for Steven Robinson the Motherwell Manager
Difficult question. Would he entertain the position on an interim 3 or 4 month basis on those circumstances ?
It's not something I have ever asked. My first thought would be Yes he might. But I don't think it would be cut and dried Yes answer. His close ties with them would make it difficult...
Chris could ''Man Manage'' any group of players. But Spurs will almost certainly appoint a Foreign Coach if Pochetino were to leave but he won't leave Spurs unless he goes to Man United or a Big Job in Spain
Didn't know you had managed Gazza.
No issues with Chris and Nath. They got on well as far as I know.
All my views are totally my own based on his interviews and watching him interact with people I know socially
