Jones was on the final two man shortlist for the Millwall job.
Thought this was interesting too:
Curtis Fleming took caretaker charge of Charlton’s 1-1 draw at Blackpool last weekend, assisted by Jason Pearce.
The pair are expected to still be at the helm for Saturday’s home match against Derby County.
American investors Gabriel Brener and Joshua Friedman took a more hands-on approach to the process of bringing in the new man after the short tenures of both Dean Holden and Michael Appleton.
That is interesting.

I wondered if they felt Andy Scott could be no longer be left to the bulk of the task. His stock must be pretty low at the moment.
A positive in the final sentence in the SLP report, confirmation that the money men are getting more involved, which probably explains why standards and budget have increased recently.
I imagine they didn't want to see their multi million pound investment go down the tubes and couldn't trust what Methven was telling them anymore.
I have always maintained our fortunes would change when those actually spending the cash realised the initial plan was nonsense, I just feared it would take them a season or two before that lightbulb moment happened.
That bit of info has made me more optimistic for next season then any player or manager news.
Genuinely quite excited if we do get Jones. Obviously the man is a lunatic but he's been very successful at this level, he knows the place and it's a higher level manager than I ever would have expected. Who would have suggested we'd hire a manager whose last job was in the Premier League? Still plenty of time for it to fall through but if we pull it off it'll be a coup. Plus best of all, he's not Appleton!

Jones left Southampton in February 2023 so does this mean he could if he wished applied for the position when we sacked Holden?

Given we appointed Holden and then Appleton I’m sure Jones would have been out of our budget at the time.

Even more excellent news, the owners have recognised this lot would struggle to solve a game of cluedo even, and stepped in.
Next step gents, give Curbs their jobs, he will do a ten times better job, I can assure you.

This, it feels like with the money men being more hands on, seems the budget will have been increased for a new manager as well as an increased player budget. Be interesting to know why the money men have stepped up there interest not that it's a bad thing of course.
Even better news if the owners are looking to get more involved. I always felt Methven and co had oversold the project, and I’m guessing their time is up based on how it’s panned out so far. Not time is up in that they’re out the door, but presumably, people with that money don’t dick about.
If anything, the fact that Scott, Methven etc have cocked it up to date could potentially work in our favour now
If its Jones then that's fantastic news! If it's the money men stepping in to protect their investment from Scott and Co. that's even better! Now if we can get a No 10 in during the next 35 minutes...it'll be superb!
If it’s Jones, then it’s a reason to be positive. A definite step up on Garner, Holden and Appleton. We really need this appointment to work. Good signs
That’s a big leap of faith for you mate! Cheerful, Reasons to be Cheerful 😉
ALL sides ? How many are there ? Surely there are just 2 - CAFC and Jones.
BOTH sides would be more apt / grammatical.
YES his terms might be that Scott has to leave before he becomes the Manager
why are people now obsessed with Scott .. been said he has no influence on the playing side his job is solely recruitment like Steve Gallen … and CM has no say in the day to day running of the club .. again been said to many times yet people still go on and on

I'd say choosing the manager has very big influence on the playing side. And he's shown he's pretty useless at that.

With a bit of luck they are realising that Rodwell, Scott and Methven are not up to the job and are damaging their investment. Private equity and hedge fund types don't give many chances.
Also confirms who is leading/controlling the investment consortium.
I'm now wondering who leaks to who. Some very credible people on this forum have had different info to Cawley on some things, and been right where Cawley has been wrong, and talked up some parties.
Cawley now feeds a line about Brener amd Friedman, otherwise hitherto unmentioned, possibly as a condition of getting this news, and to reposition their influence? Interesting.
If I may draw a comparison from the NFL, very respected talking heads who break news like Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport often tweet news with "this deal was negotiated by X agent" or "[personnel involved in hiring] was a big say in this appointment", and it's clearly a line from their source.
So I wonder if there's a bit of selective leaking going on!

I thought Scott was the Director of Football no? However if you’ve seen his job specification, I bow to your superior knowledge. Any chance of posing it up on here ?😏

Wow, talk about premature evaluation.
First Jones is "off" and the confirmation bias is off the scale then Cawley says just need to agree terms and everything is rosy again.
Pleased IF IF IF and when Jones is confirmed on the OS but not before as agreeing terms is still a pretty big hurdle to get over
WIOTOS.
Been saying he should be our manager on here since 2014 so it definitely has been too long
