[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1025391, member: 73144"] Of course Jones will have his own reasons - and the buck stops with him. He says a lot in public some of which is palpable nonsense - initially we all gave him the benefit of him trying to deflect from the players, but increasingly it also looks like muddled thinking. No-one’s doubting his work ethic or wish to keep improving. What we do know though is that the performance graph has been downward for a while and is now being joined by the results graph. This is fully Jones team so a different scenario from 2017/18. In my line of work we often work with turnaround professionals - people whose skills are to come, in fix big problems and quickly move on to the next one. Firefighters if you will. They get a big buzz from the drama and pressure but get very bored once that’s done and it becomes business as usual. The long term’s not their skill set - they’re ruthlessly all about quick results and Jones has always struck me as having that mindset. Will Greenwood for one was worried about that at outset. Only time will tell but my instinct is that he’s right. [/QUOTE]
