I must say that while the "stale" remark is never actually said by Jones, his comments are a little galling. If he'd said he felt it was time to move on then that's fair enough, but to tell us that he wasn't that bothered about Europe with ICT but is all excited about it with Hibs, leaves a rather sour taste. A new challenge? Seriously, what?! Playing the same teams again for a bunch of bottom half dwellers and a short foray into Europe (which he's done before with the powerhouse that is Bangor!) doesn't sound like a new challenge to me. Sorry Jonesy, but you're story doesn't add up.
I wonder though if there's been some falling out or something with Butcher? To be one of the first names on the teamsheet all season to then be dropped to the bench with a few weeks left of the season was strange one and an on-going saga of whether he'd sign when it was obvious he was off makes me wonder if there's more going on behind the scenes.
Ordinary I'd be sad to see him to go because he's a good player, but with comments like that I'm not so bothered.
