Would replacing Jones with Calderon as assistant manager improve things next season?

Why is it a bit controversial? When Nathan Jones was brought in, he was generally lauded as a talented and capable coach. The opinions of some people on here who are good at holding a grudge do not really matter.

Whilst I am a fan of Calde, you seem to forget that, having given him a chance in English football, he then went off seeking his fortune at, allegedly, Southampton and Poyet was reported to have said he would never play for him again! I would remind you there was a lot of vitriol aimed at Calde at the time. I bet there are plenty on here eulogising about Calde who at the time were slagging him off.
Have to agree with this. Jones could be a brilliant coach for all we know. Based on the Leicester result that could endorse that but equally, based on Ipswich it might not. Also, players ability and achievements during their playing career don't always translate to them being great coaches. Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho are examples of players that didn't excel on the field. I hope that Calde does get his coaching badges and has a role at the club as he is a great ambassador for the sport with the extra curricular activity that he does. However that is no guarantee of success.
(Talking of Mourinho, I wonder if he was still at Belenenses when Melia was there? Mourinho left in 1983 and that was when Melia joined!)

Unless you have seen him leading training sessions or have spoken to first team players about it, not sure how anyone can really claim with any authority that he isn't a good coach.
He might not be, of course, but I cannot understand how anyone can make that judgment based purely on his own playing style/career and how he looks in a tracksuit.

It's controversial with those opinions you mention, that's all.

Don't remember the Yeovil incident but I have strong memories of the Jonesy stepovers that ALWAYS got a cheer from the Brighton faithful - that was probably the only flair we could muster in those days ......

The squirrel that looked like Nathans hair racing him at Withdean was amusing too
I guess the more reasonable move behind it is how it goes and the overall productivity works in a general way quite goodly which is pretty good in a way.So yeah being aware of all the circumstances is what that help us big time so that we can get to turn in a better productivity.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
