Shocked! gutted! depressed! Thank you Nigel for all you did for our club. You did not deserve this in any way. I wish I did not feel so utterly powerless and could right such an injustice.

I remember so many posts on this site when he was with us that failed to recognise his potential and argued that Blackstock or Best were better bets for the long term. The major thing Jones always had was far more athletic raw talent than either of them. It is that which alied to good coaching and the further development of his physical frame will make him better than Carew for instance. It is interesting that Sturrock, Burley and Rednap all rated his potential contrary to the majority view on the terraces at the time
