With all due respect, can he actually be trusted to walk through an open door? Oh no, my nervous twitch has suddenly come back. Think about something else......

He can walk through on the front foot and in an aggresive manner......nobody in Europe can do it like him.....

Charlton getting statistically one of Europes finest managers...apparently. Good on 'em.

At least the benefit of that is that I won’t have to listen to the prick being a pundit.

I know. Imagine talking about an ex manager getting a new job on a football forum. That's rehab-worthy stuff, that is.

I hope he does well there. Felt sorry for him in the end. Just a poor fit for all at SFC

Mainly due to him being a bit of a prick. 
 

If it’s god’s will, he’ll do alright at Charlton. Hopefully with some divine intervention they’ll help derail Pompey’s season

The fact that after us, he can only get a job at a bottom half L1 side kind of goes to show how bad of an appointment it was. 

I can kind of understand and see the logic of why we appointed him, but it was destined to fail from the very start. 

That being said, Selles was significantly worse. Out of the 3 managers we had last season, 1 is currently unemployed (in fairness, he'll pick up another decent enough job - Palace would be a good fit for him) the other 2 are in the bottom 7 clubs in L1 🤦‍♂️

I don't really blame us for appointing Selles. At that point we were tainted goods and needed someone to manage us. The fuck up was not sacking Ralph in the summer and then giving it to Jones when there was still time to save us.

Jones' record at that level is very good. 

Bit of a Saints connection at Charlton in (relatively) recent times.   Who can forget Les Reed's 6 week stint there as Manager in 2006 - sacked with the reputation as the "worst manager ever", only to be replaced by Alan Pardew.

Wasn't Atkins there at some point after us too?

Yes, well spotted.   Spent 6 months there as Manager in 2021.

You'd have to back Jonesy to beat that record.

Yeah, they consider him one of their worst ever managers. So do Sheff Utd. How we feel about Jones is basically the same way certain clubs feel about Adkins.

To be fair they've got a similar record here - both played a major part in getting us into the championship.

As totally unfit for the job. He put himself up for a job he wasn’t up to 

Unusual perspective imo. The fault with us hiring him lies entirely with us.

The thing is that his "reign" here was surreal for many reasons. That is why he is still in the fans psyche...

You can certainly see why we went down. Both managers will be coming up against eachother this weekend in charge of clubs who are trying to stave off relegation to league two.

Charlton Chairman:

"We’re really pleased to appoint Nathan Jones. He is a Manager of real pedigree who has a track record of building successful teams over a period of time.  We were really impressed with the quality of candidates interested in coming to Charlton. Through our initial research, the in-depth interview process and the references we took, Nathan was the clear stand out. He is a great fit for Charlton given his ability to get his teams playing football on the front foot, with a passion and an intensity. He is an excellent coach, who is tactically savvy and an outstanding developer of talent!"

Wish Nat and the Latics well, he's certain to raise the passion and aggression levels inside the Valley!

He must be really, really good at interviews, which is odd because his post match interviews were a car crash. 

I assume he got a glowing reference from us to save us a few quid!

Very watertight interview process, 

Ben Garner, fantastic success at Bristol Rovers.

Karl Robinson, currently setting the managerial world alight.

Dean Holden, Ettifaq no2 because that’s the progression needed.

Welsh David Icke, saviour of Southampton Fc

Wow, to be a Charlton fan.

All my mums side of the family are Charlton fans and was talking about his appointment earlier today. I think he might be ok for them, smallish club where he can probably stamp his authority in a similar way to Luton. Hopelessly out of his depth with us and Stoke but Charlton probably suits him.

Hilarious that they've come out with "front foot" as if they've just been hypnotised by the power point presentation.

"This slide shows the swirly lines of front footed aggression.Look closely as they move..."

Everything the stoke fans said, turned out to be accurate. Everything the Stoke players said, turned out to be accurate. Despite Jones supposedly having learned so much about the Stoke experience. Jones clearly has a level of player he can even contemplate coaching.

If Charlton's squad contains no one who's had a sniff of a Premier League, he might be able to repeat what he did at Luton. Stu turning to the bench and asking what, even roughtly, he was being asked to do, sums up his time with us. Out of his depth.

Edit: A peek at a couple of Charlton forums, and they seem quite pleased. They're on a dreadful run, with some forum folk looking down towards relegation scraps. They seem keen on a table tennis table burner, if it gets them to replicate Luton.

Quite right tbf. Both my boys are Gasheads, and when Ben Garner did an exact copy of Nathan Jones with the Gas then after getting the boot turned up at his mates Swindon.

Did a fair job there and then bombed at Charlton. I do feel for Charlton after all the crap with owners over the years. 

Reminds me of the Lowe era with us.

He didn't really have to interview with us, never applied for the job it was Saints doing all the chasing convincing him to join us rather than other way round. 

Anyway good luck to him, he'll try to recreate what he'd got going at Luton.

Very painful memories indeed.   Is it just me or did he appear to spend most of that video talking to himself?

Just a casual reminder that this man stopped Man City from having the greatest season in the history of English football. Funny old game.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. And, in fairness, how do you go about preparing a side to face Jonesball?
