I don't get the Jones thing. I would have thought they would want someone with a bit more of a pedigree and profile?

that's Gus out of the running then......

 

[grummitts gloves]

As much as I'd hate it to happen, I would have thought Gus would be the better option of the two.

A lot of people rate Jones as the power behind Martinez' throne. A good coach with an excellent rapport with the players.
It is a massive difference to being numero uno - just ask Deano - excellent coach but poor manager, and contrast to Nigel Adkins - average coach, exceptional manager (even if he is a bit of a tosser )

 

[TheBlueAndWhiteStrips]

Huw Jenkins has stated he wants Swansea to continue playing the same style of football. This would rule out Holloway, Graeme Jones was with Roberto Martinez as his assistant when he was in charge at Swansea.

Considering hes only an assistant manager at the moment and is being offered the chance, out of nowhere really, to manage a premier league team with all the potential benefits for his career, youd think hed be snapping their hands off and agreeing to the job for a bag of peanuts and 20% discount on any items in the club shop. Of course maybe swansea decided hes not up to the job instead

This comment ignores the fact that Graeme Jones was a coach at Swansea for a few years. They know how good/bad he is.

Now that the Jones talks have broken down I would imagine it would be how the bookies have it and holloway being the favourite but with the style of play his plays I have a bad feeling about this.

Now Swans look at Laudrup From The Argus)
