Are you SURE, Nathan? Jones is left red faced as Southampton sacking arrives days after he claimed 'there weren't many better' managers than him in EUROPE - despite just one league win in 94-day reign

Nathan Jones won't want to look back on his press conferences at Southampton too fondly following his sacking as the club's first-team manager on Sunday.

Time was up for Jones after Saturday's home defeat against 10-man Wolves as the Welshman saw his tenure brought to an end after just 94 days in charge.

Jones didn't do himself any favours when facing the media at Saints, with his brazen honesty and no-filter when answering questions did him no favours as club chiefs decided to pull the plug.

Astonishing statements saw him claim that he turned Luton into one of the 'statistically best teams in Europe' during his time at the Championship club, and in his final pre-match press conference explained that he 'could have stayed and married a nice Welsh girl' instead of moving into management.
