Damn, I deleted the wrong tab.

I've nothing specific about Jones and you may be correct, but did The General really only go into battle with Fotheringham about only needing a new pair of socks to replace the one's that were ripped when he was "injured" if you get the drift? "Disciplinary issues" are easily covered up as "injuries" in football to throw the press off the scent, when other than personal observation, it is the only way we find out anything. I don't believe in coincidences but the length of their "abscence" is way beyond the typical length of that type of injury. Fotheringham is not convincing when he answers questions about why certain players aren't training or are still "injured", hence the speculation on my part.

I'm not convinced the players have fully bought into him yet either. He's happy to throw Rhodes and Russell off and under the bus in his presser this week and he's not exactly screaming from the roof tops that we should keep Camara at all costs if we are serious about staying up either. If he thinks he'll get any of that transfer fee if it materialises to reinvest in the squad he really is naïve. He's apparently happy to sign a bloke that scores far less frequently than Rhodes though, whilst saying we aren't getting enough out of Rhodes. Well no shit Sherlock there either. Nobody has since he left Blackburn after us, and I argued at the time we didn't need him.

I won't start you about Bromby, but if Harsley, who was brought in as Assistant Coach to great aplomb from Brum in the summer, was such a great appointment (as trumpeted at the time) why has he now gone and why is Fotheringham's new best mate, Kenny Miller, appointed as his assistant and no hard questions really asked in the presser?
