Pleased to see new ideas as part of the trio. A good step imo.
Dont really know any more about Jones than everyone else who's just gone and looked at his Wikipedia page etc. Vaguely knew the name. But I'm glad to see some outside experience come in.
Not sure what he'd make of coming in theoretically junior to JT and SP, 2 rookies in their respective positions. But if he's interested in the club and that structure, and thinks he can bring some benefit then that'll do me.
"Conceding goals was always a massive issue, although worryingly not according to the manager, who often stated he would rather win 10-9 than keep a clean sheet, a tactic that was questionable at best."This seems a fair review of his time at Luton. Some good, some bad.

Sounds like our kind of guy then !
Our very own Harry Cornick gets a mention in that article too. Seems to have responded well to Jones' coaching !
We've sadly lost the Messiah, but gained Three Kings in his place - one of whom came to us from the Orient!
Looking forward to more exciting times ahead and hoping they will be successful for us.
Well, in reply to my post on page 1 of this thread, it looks like the word is Quality.
An outside appointment, fresh ideas and different voice on the coaching staff. Surprised no one's thought of that before. Looks like our Jase is a bit of an innovator * : )

Don't worry ,....no one is going to pinch Fletchs job of collecting the balls and putting the cones out.....Interesting one this. Graeme Jones has got more experience than Purchase and Tindall (but not their experience with players and this club). He stated last year how management was for him now his sons had grown up.
He comes across very and assured and it wouldn't have surprised me if he had been the number 2 instead of Purchase. Will be interesting to see the dynamics evolve, especially with Fletch around.
