On 6 January 2016, Jones left his role as first-team coach with Brighton to become the new manager of League Two club Luton Town on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[23] He won 11 of his 21 matches in charge during the remainder of 2015–16, guiding the club away from the danger of relegation to an 11th-place finish.[24
Any truth in the rumour he got airlifted straight to London City Airport, at full time, and then fled to a more pleasurable job, hand feeding piranhas in The Amazon?

Kept them in the Championship in 19/20 too, they were 23rd when he was appointed.
I know some are jokey, but I don’t get the comments about him regretting it, being mad to take the job etc. Managers are egotistical, love a challenge and always want to be the person who turns a club’s fortunes around. He’ll be watching, first of all knowing he can’t do much worse and secondly knowing that all he needs is a couple of wins to be an instant hero.

Yep, he knows he has a reasonable squad that are underperforming. He will be confident that he will turn this around.
i reckon you can get better odds on derby going up than us going down but they didn't carve us open at will and create chance after chance.
jones will only be feeling low if he has created a Charlton life account today! I reckon that he believes he will get us 16th or above
Reckon this is gonna be a no expense spared announcement
with pyrotechnics of a large exploding table tennis table. Then, darkness, a
single spotlight goes onto the tunnel (so will have to be done at full-time
when it's dark, or you won't see the spotlight) the drum part from O Fortuna
Carmina Burana by Carl Orff will start and Jones does a reversed tunnel jump
followed by a tuck jump, into a double pike jump and two roly polys to follow,
through a guard of honour formed by members from The Vegan Society Against
Cruelty To Amoeba, which should bring him into the centre circle (as long as he
executes those moves correctly). Where the deafening sound from the rest of O
Fortuna Carmina Burana will be heard across SE7, and everyone from Hornfair
Park, down to The Barrier, from EA Turkish on the corner of Fairthorn Road,
across to Coop Funeral Directors opposite The Albion Public House, and everyone
between, will know, that Nathan has arrived.

How'd it go?
Spot on except they used the theme tune from Mission Impossible for the music.

The Benny Hill theme would suit our defending this season.
To be fair, it’s not a bad thing! All focus needs to be on a decent performance today! The players still know they are being watched by their new gaffer anyway.
And they did produce a good performance for him .. Fleming said he was pleased and surprised by a what he saw
So how come some clubs sack a manager and appoint a new one the following day. Does that mean the LMA have signed it off before the other is sacked? Sounds rubbish to me.
Alan Curbishley is part of this group .. basically they don’t work weekends so it will be signed Monday

If Jones signs as our Manager I honestly think we can put to bed all the negativity regarding the ownership. Im not saying he will be a success here as nothing is certain however the very fact that he decided to join a 3rd tier club potentially facing a relegation battle says alot !!! he is not a mug, he would certainly have options, he doesnt need the money. All this must mean that he can see the ownership are serious and not the chancers alot on here portray them as
I haven't seen too many people calling out the owners, most of us don't have a clue about them. It's the smt that are the chancers.

On the basis that anything he does will be an improvement?

You can get 5/1 on us finishing top half You can get 9/1 on us being relegated

haha!
It's a done deal:
The table tennis table has been bought on eBay and pleased to say it wasn't a fire sale.
Jones is at the game. On the bench though.
"Alfie May on long throws.. yes that will do nicely"
