    If Pete is saying Jones is in advanced talks then I'd be surprised if he's not confirmed tomorrow. 

    Don't think they'd announce it tonight. 
    Or an 11:30pm announcement. Telling us, “we’re not done yet”

    Wishful thinking I know. 😂

    Is O’Rourke a credible source ?
    Yeah, he has a good record when breaking news on usually, though with signings we tend to hear from him when they’re pretty much done rather than further in advance.

    Excellent news. I hope he gets to bring in his own team. Never seems to work when a new manager is told to work with what’s already there, as decent as Fleming is.

    I don’t know what to make of him tbh but can’t argue it’s not a good calibre appointment if it goes through 
  • This is perhaps why it would have been wise to scout around for a Manager before sacking Appleton

    Its no secret a lot of clubs take that approach these days, its how they're able to get someone new in so quickly, and avoid going weeks without a man in charge - We could also have had a better Deadline Day, with players "knowing" who the Manager is.

    Just have to wait and see from more Official sources to see if this is true or not
    Gettin... I got 19-likes for this post... Always knew it was never in doubt

    This. I always think he’s as mad as a box of frogs. Perhaps that’s exactly what we need.

    Not itk, but heard Jones is in.

  • I’m not entirely convinced Jones is the right man but no one can deny it does show a bit of ambition. 

    Let’s get enough points on the board asap and then he can start working out who he wants for next season.
  • Fits well with me…

    Finally some good news on the manager front. 
  • Scott and Jones at The Valley earlier this evening


  • It is going to be more interesting at the very least.

    ALL sides  ?  How many are there ? Surely there are just 2 - CAFC and Jones.

    BOTH sides would be more apt / grammatical. 
  • Don’t think anyone can complain about the ambition of the board now COYR

    Just had a WhatsApp to say it's Jones
  • Will be more than happy with Jones. Didn’t think we’d get someone like him TBH

    Never doubted SE7 partners, not even for a second. 

    Jones, welcome back to, by far and away, the biggest club in South London 
    Technically there is no South London. Postcode wise there is a South East London & a South West London. 
  • Did euell work with jones on our academy?

    putting 2 and 2 together here

    Oh well seems like Nathan is up for a challenge which I'm surprised at but hey as another lifer just said even if we buckle and go down hopefully he can rebuild like at Luton. We have to stop this ridiculous manager merry go round and maybe our board have realised that they need to dip into their piggy banks to get something half decent. 

    Wonder what will happen to Curtis if Nathan is appointed? Not sure if Jones had a number 2 with him?
