Has there been anything in the press to suggest anything of this nature before ?0 -
Out of the 72 in the EFL, not including the Premier League, there are 36 whose manager had been appointed before the end of January. Some bloke called Nathan Jones is the 37th longest-serving.fenaddick said:0 -

I'd have him. Even if he is ex-Millwall. Ex player (although not for long).MarcusH26 said:

Rowett still lives in the midlands, so Oxford is probably as far south as he'd like to work now, I imagine.2

At least their owners do / say something then... We just get radio silenceScoham said:1 -
If the owners said something, this forum would receive 100 posts in rapid fire about why the ‘statement is rubbish’, ‘they’ll be leaving in no time’, ‘another bunch of chancers’ etc etc. Followed by ‘bring back Curbs, Powell, Bowyer & Jacko’.Say nothing = not good enough
Say something = not good enough.16 -
Ian Evatt, dear oh dear, sound bites like this won't help his cause:

"It's great I've got the backing of the people that matter."
Not the best choice of words when your fan base is calling for your head.
Imagine if Nathan Jones had said words to a similar effect after losing to our rivals and not being too popular anyway, my word.1 -
Our owners don’t need to say anything, most of us can acknowledge how disgraceful and pathetic our football currently is and what a shambles of a job we have done with our recruitments .3

Was thinking the same, it's not as if they're sat 14th playing terrible football and not scoring many goals.......BigRedEvil said:

League 1 seems very poor this year - I suspect most clubs fans from 7th downwards will be unhappy with quality of football and league position. Does make it more frustrating to not be taking advantage of it. I’m not sure what the answer is, but I don’t yet think sacking another manager is it.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Would be typical for us to interview Alex Neil, decide to appoint Jones instead who is doing badly, then Alex Neil to go to Millwall and so well.killerandflash said:1 -

Alex Neil doesnt inspire me - Like you, the bloke also has a first name for a last name!! (Even if it is a great one) - Proper wrong if you ask me!!North Lower Neil said:

The fans were restless after their slow start, as we know they were not performing because we beat them. However things are getting back to normal now and they will be in and around the playoffs.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

The club is said to want a manager who can bring some solidity and discipline to the squad after the heavy defeat by Spurs.
The classic rebound from one style of football to a completely different style. Interesting that he could have got the job 2 years ago instead of Jones. If they hadn't approached Jones, would he still be at Luton?
Club sources say Juric was one of two options in the frame as Ralph Hasenhuttl's replacement when Nathan Jones was appointed in November 2022.0
