There would be no point sacking Jones and appointing Ainsworth. 

I'm amazed the never stuck with Nathan Jones. They stink of a club (like Wolves and Sunderland) who need to L1 year or two to flush out all the shite. Nathan Jones would have been ideal for that rebuild.

5 wins in 34 league games plus cup defeats to Shrewsbury and Crawley. When you think about Darren Moore's record when you sacked him, then compare it to Nathan Jones' record, it shouldn't be too much of a shock that we had to let him go. 

Bear in mind he'd brought in practically a new team and made us a load worse. It'll be interesting to see where his career goes from here.

Moore's sacking was more that we needed to get promotion and his last few games in charge showed he was out of his depth - it was harsh, but we've been stung by keeping Pulis and Pardew on for too long so acted decisively. 

I think you missed a trick with the Cowleys DK.... They'd have given you a bit of a lift and play a style more enamoured to the Stoke way.

Nixon reckons Michael O'Neill (hic) or McCarthy depending on the int'l weekend results... Mad Mick would be a very good appointment for the current situation, even if he's not the sexiest name.

We've had 4 managers now who've failed, so there comes a point where you have to wonder whether anyone could co anything with them. 

As dire as it seems, I'd be happy with Mad Mick at the moment. Sometimes you can't tell how good a job someone's doing until they're gone, which is what seems to have happened at Ipswich. 

Plus he's not Pulis.
