A VERY long time ago I stood in a manager’s office and watched him slowly unravelling under the pressure.
Changing out of his tracksuit after another defeat, he started to get dressed into something smarter. Inexplicably, he put his shoes on before his trousers. Realising what he had done, he looked up at me.
‘You will never know or understand what this job does to your head, son,’ he said. And he was right. But the more you see them, the more you recognise the signs.
At Southampton, they will have recognised the signs and now they have sacked Nathan Jones.
