Stoke look to lutons Jones,

Stoke City are in discussions with Luton Town boss Nathan Jones over their vacant managerial position, following Gary Rowett's sacking on Tuesday.

The Potters, 14th in the Championship, had approached former Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic but he rejected the opportunity to be interviewed.

Jones, who has been at Luton since January 2016, guided the Hatters to promotion from League Two last season.

Luton are currently second in League One after 26 games.

Yeah maybe we made the wrong choice with Adams, look how it worked out...

I was all for Jones to be manager here back when it was a shoot out between the two.

In anycase he has earnt a step up in his career so good luck to him if he gets the job. Not like any club is going to approach Del Bhey anytime soon for indeed ever so we are stuck with him regardless.

Exactly I wanted Jones, heard good things about him from yeovil fans I know,

Can we whip together for a taxi get Adams to luton or something ?

If you ignore the fact that Jones would have had his hands tied behind his back by the board then I'm sure he would have done better that Del, on the other hand we know he would have had feck all funds either. I'm not a massive fan of Adams BUT blaming him alone lets Brent off the hook.

Agree with that. It could be argued that Dels knowledge of the bottom feeders of the Scottish premier league was enough to bring in the players that got us out of the division. Jones has had had rather a lot more money to spend who's to say he would have managed under the Brentmare.

He's gone according to Luton friend on FB

Christ I know just the boy for you Luton - come and get him!!

Hope they fall away now. Scummy shithole of a place.

I was thinking of Luton when I wrote the last post. But it applies equally to Stoke.

True and i dont. However i do blame del for his shite tactics against wimbledon at wembley and completely ballsing up the l2 title several times including the last game.

Dont take much to get the Championship clubs sniffing around does it?!

In all honesty I think it's a bad move for NJ. If Stoke dont get instant results he will be on the scrapheap with the rest of them.

Should have waited to get promoted with Luton first.

he traded one shit hole for another in reality.

i agree with you punchdrunk he was better off going up with luton an cutting his teeth in championship with them Then when he moved on he would be a bit more protected than he will be no if Stoke arent pushing for playoffs come may.

Sturrock fell into this trap as we all know.

On the other hand he has a good record for spotting and signing talent. James Dunne is proof of that.

Adams is as culpable because he signed a 5 year deal knowing he would have feck all funds,

anyone else would have told Brent to stick it, but Adams knows his lack of any other decent tactic meant he's on to a winner here, 5 years of cash harder to sack him as well. if only he was as smart on the tactics side.

Why are we at the bottom of league 1 after nearly seven years of Brentship? Is it just down to Adams? Is Adams in charge of the club shop? Is Adams in charge of feckin up the planning for the mankover? Is Adams in charge of giving Nool the keys to the sweetshop and dividing the fan base? Is Adams in charge of sidelong the fans trust? 
"Adams is culpable because he signed a five year deal knowing he'd have feck all funds?" And who offered him the five year deal with enough funds to run Plymouth Parkway? Answer our old mate Brent no less. I'm pissed off with Adams but I'm not crazy enough to think that Jones or anyone else would work miracles with their hands tied behind their back. If you'd just add the odd harangue about Hallett into your missives and you'd probably get a sponsored role on pasoti. 
At least credit Brent with some of the shite we are in you are letting him completely off the hook with your ludicrous assumptions that ALL the shite we are in is down to Adams, it really isn't just his fault. Any manager was doomed to failure here we are run really, really badly from top to bottom.

Brents to blame for a lot , but in blaming brent it seems like adams gets off the hook,

Del isnt a popular man at all with some fanbases. Luton and wycombe ones being his biggest heat seekers.

Fer fooks sakkkkkkeeeeee. Adams deserves blame I get that but don't let Brent off the hook.
Anyway let's just assume you get your way and Adams is out on his ear this morning. Hurrah! Tomorrow we get the news that Wotton has been signed up on a five year deal but the playing budget has been cut in half to pay off Adams lengthy contract? Still celebrating? 
That's the future anybody who isn't pissed or stupid must be able to see where the problem lies at Argyle.

Thats true , could say the same with Ainsworth ,wouldn't want him here for example.

I'd have Ainsworth, esp if we're going to keep churning out shite budget after shite budget

Top fella by all accaints

I'm not letting either off the hook,
just trying not to cross streams in this thread at least with brent blaming.

 That's just as well because if Adams go there is no way this useless board would aim that high.
