Club in talks to bring in Graeme Jones
Yes, the Graeme Jones. Not quite sure what to make of this. The headline suggests Bruce is involved in the decision so I guess the club is doubling down on him.
Re: Club in talks to bring in Graeme Jones
Bruce refused to talk about it last night when asked and sounded pretty pissed off with the question. Feels like it is not his choice at all.

That’s the impression I got too.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?
Re: Club in talks to bring in Graeme Jones
Oh really? I’ve steered clear from any of last night’s coverage so only have this article to go by. If that’s the case then I really don’t know what to make of it.
I did wonder if it was paving the way for Eddie Howe but Jones joined them after his Bournemouth departure.

Re: Club in talks to bring in Graeme Jones
This reminds me very obliquely of when Rene Meulensteen got brought in as a coach at Fulham, and it was clear from all sides that he would eventually replace Martin Jol, which he did quite quickly from what I recall. I can see Jones being installed as a cheap backup option if they do end up getting rid of Bruce, he can take the reins at least until the end of the season.

Re: Club in talks to bring in Graeme Jones
If it has reached the point that the club feels the need to bring in a coach to help the manager out, without the consent of the manager, then it is already over and both sides know it. Don't understand the charade. Is the club hoping to shame Bruce into quitting? Why else would they not just get it over with?

Re: Club in talks to bring in Graeme Jones
I'd speculate they're lining up a caretaker. Bruce will go, as will his staff, so you need someone internal to pick up the reins.

Re: Club in talks to bring in Graeme Jones
It does seem to be a warning with a contingency plan in place. I think at the very least it shows that there are concerns from within, just predictably we are making it as complicated as possible.

Re: Club in talks to bring in Graeme Jones
Shola becoming manager with no fans in the ground would be the most depressing thing that's ever happened to this club.ALF wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 9:25 amCaptain Obvious wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 3:05 pmI'd speculate they're lining up a caretaker.
