Six months ago the bloke was "dead man walking". Now we're all lauding the fact that he's signing a new contract. Never let it be said that fans (of all clubs) aren't the most fickle of individuals.
Six months ago, the football was shite, as we're the results, crowds were plummeting and we were looking over our shoulder for a relegation fight.
Getting five years for a good six months is excellent work by Jones’ agent!
Think that’s a bit harsh. Admittedly things weren’t great on the pitch for a long period but, as they same, Rome wasn’t built in a day. A lot stuff happened off the pitch that Jones would have been heavily involved in.
It wasn’t particularly good under Curbishley for a while and look what happened there. Even Fergie took 4 years to get things right at Man Utd.
Turned the club around, good move by those in charge. Some real stability now, it was needed by Charlton and Jones. Now to kick on next season.
Not only has he turned it around on the pitch but he’s also been the catalyst for the genuinely renewed optimism and vigour in the stands as well. We have to go back to Lee Bowyer when we last got so behind the team but even then we had the backdrop of dire ownership. This feels very different.

Not forgetting the fact he kept us up in the first place when he first arrived. Turned us around from a relegation threatened League one club to promoted side in a season in a league with Birmingham and Wrexham so a remarkable achievment so far.

I feel more connected to the team and players than at any time since Chris Powell. Never could warm to Bowyer I'm afraid.

Oof, blaspheme. I loved early Bowyer (Marcus Maddison Bowyer was…less loveable)

Fair enough. For me, he has always been one of my favourites from player to manager.

Nothing fickle at all.
I used the word 'nonsense' also - one of the few occasions where I moderated my language!
I thought that was HMS Piss the league.
Possibly in time but can we start with ?
We are staying up, say we are staying up !
