It must have just been a coincidence that our form dropped when Jones left January 2016?

Yep Stoke have been really trying hard to emulate Sunderland.

"wasn't hardly involved" is a double negative reality inversion tbf :)

I am pretty sure that Calderwood came in a few weeks after Jones left as a replacement head coach?

Who were the other coaches at the time then?

Really Thunder??? I said, He also played a very big part at the start of Hughton's first full season What does the start of the first full season mean??? Remember when we got off to a flying start and Kaz was knocking them in for fun. Start of his first full season? If you read what I...

It's the style of your writing about Jones that gives it away tbh. Anyway I am just being playful.

I said he played a massive part in our great start to Hughton's first season and we faded when he left. He was Hughton's right hand man at the time just like he was under Garcia when we reached the playoffs. For all intent and purposes he did very well for us and helped with the man management...

Why can't you just be honest that your bias has a massive influence on your opinion. We all know that Jones is Marmite on here. However he played an important role coaching under Garcia to help with the emergency transition from Poyet and had to be very much hands on including verbally with the...

Swansea have done very well since Potter left and he took his staff with him, so your deductive argument is flawed. I think you will find that what Jones had to work with is a squad full of divas on their way out and any manager there had to work from scratch. This is also why no manager has...

Yep. I can understand why he was tempted but he could have done with Luton what Howe has done with Bournemouth. Luton also have plans for a new 23,000 stadium so they do have ambition: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-48363296

Are you speaking from your own bias as one of the fans who never liked Jones?

It's strange how he got from doing everything so very right at Luton to everything so very wrong at Stoke. SHould be interesting if their next manager can turn it around or they were doomed as a group of players from the start.

I doubt it too

Agree, but he must be thinking of it. If Pochettino left mid season though it's only Alardyce, Pulis or Hughton who is available, and who could take on a short emergency contract until the end of season.

Maybe Stoke were lucky that they didn't sack Jones at the wrong time. Hughton must be looking at the Spurs job. The important thing is that it seems that the Stoke fans are getting behind him.

Who? or link please?

Who was offered the job?

The Stoke board have had to put up with dire football under Hughes and Pulis for over a decade and were full to the brim with overpaid divas. I think that they understand that Jones is a lot more hard working and professional than previous managers and sets a very good example when he would have...

Potter's Potters has a ring to it.
