Jones does know the club!!!!!!
Graeme jones was a legend here and was part of our premier league and fa cup winning coaching staff. How doesnt he know the club? This IS his club hes stated it before. Didn't work out at luton but as a former player who understands us he would have our full support and I think galvanise the club.
Gary bowyer ive endorsed myself too hes a good solid option at struggling clubs. So agree on that one.
I didn't say Jones didn't know the club (although we're a very different beast to the club he left 7yrs ago).
The point I'm making (& Stormin Norman above makes it far more succinctly than me) is that "knowing the club" should be one of the last considerations, if at all, when appointing a manager - like SN says the ticket office girls knows the club well, so does the tea lady etc..
It shouldn't be how well they know the club, it should be whether they're a good enough manager & unfortunately in his brief spell as one so far Jones performed poorly and by all accounts alienated players and fans.
Whoever's appointed this time round will have my full support but I just want the person spec to be far more stretching for the applicants than knowing the club
