    There are no guarantees with any managerial appointment (or signing) but Nathan Jones is as good an option for #cafc as any that could realistically have been made at this point. Might be the start of something good. 🙏 https://t.co/PqZ6ADr4Og

    Funny how it's perfectly fine to poke fun at Christianity.

    Reckon it best to move on from his faith, whatever it may be.
    I’m happy to poke fun at any and all religions. 
    Okay mate. Thanks for that 👍

    I did forecast that Jones would not come in until the window had shut, although I wonder if he had any influence to get Ramsey
  • I'll call it the right manager but wrong time.

    We're severely in the brown stuff and am not sure he is a Warnock type to grab people by the scruff of the neck.

    I can see us going down then it will be interesting to see how things develop.  I reckon he'll have a clause reading left by mutual consent should we drop.
    This would be the same Nathan Jones who returned to Luton in the Championship with them 6 points adrift and got 16 points from 27 to keep them up despite the team looking dead and buried. They only lost one game in that run. I know Warnock shouting at them all sounds funny but it's not like Jones doesn't have a recent history of taking a team low on confidence and points and turning them round in short order.
    I hope history repeats itself.  Only time will tell.

    I’m trying to figure out where the kick in the bollocks is coming from. This is Charlton. We can’t have something nice without that.

    Does he? I thought he said they have worked with Jones in the past so could come in. Cohen only recently took a post at Lincoln I think.

    Jones would on paper be a good appointment if we were a Championship side, let alone a struggling mid tier L1 that we've been for the past 10 years

    Can anyone remember, were we in the relegation zone, when Pardew got appointed?

    Jones is the right choice for a reboot, but I just hope he can get a tune out of these players to keep us up.

    Saints were broken before he was there. I know we could argue we are broken but I don’t think we are and we do have the players to perform in this league!!

    Charlton are pleased to announce Lee Johnson as their next Manager.

    We were sorry to have talks breakdown between ourselves and Nathan Jones, over a demand for an extra 50p in Wages

    We look forward to the next chapter in the clubs history

  • Well one things Jones is known for is switching formations a lot sometimes multiples time in one match. Luton fans seemed to praise his tactical flexibility based on the opposition but at Southampton, everyone was complaining about confusing the squad by removing any consistency.  So expect a 352, 433 and a 442 Diamond at various times. He wants his midfielders/wingbacks to press aggressively so quite a bit different than Appletons approach of sitting back and keeping defensive shape/limiting open space.  So stylistically we certainly are going to be quite different. Don’t think we have the talent in a few key positions to be anything but mid table but hopefully we can get some breathing room from the relegation zone.
  • Jones is inheriting a similar situation to the one Powell did in 2011. A mixed playing squad, largely full of players he may not want to keep around for next season and maybe can’t play the way he’ll want them to. Let’s be patient and not get on his back. The rest of this season is a free hit. Keep us up, build for next season. 
    Not exactly a free hit when we're in a relegation battle. If Wycombe and Port Vale pick up anything from their games in hand we'll be 20th.

    We’ve appointed the wrong Nathan Jones.

    Looks more like Michael Appleton.

    Very very possible there could be a release clause in his contract...

    Doesn't look like he would have too much trouble controlling the dressing room...🙄
