'It's disrespectful' – Ex-EFL man delivers verdict on Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones after tough Stoke City and Southampton spells
Yesterday at 06:16 AM
Ex-Football League defender Adam Virgo believes the football community can be ‘disrespectful’ to Charlton Athletic boss Nathan Jones.
Charlton Athletic’s manager worked wonders during his time at Luton Town. However, CAFC’s head coach struggled to make an impact at both Southampton and Stoke City.
Jones, 51, has done an impressive job since taking over the Addicks. His side are currently eyeing promotion to the Championship.
Former Brighton and Hove Albion and Bristol Rovers defender Virgo has written in the Football League Paper (page 39, 16.03.25): “I want him to succeed because I’ve never seen someone so focussed or driven. He never switches off, not for a moment, and he’s so passionate about what he does.
“It really frustrates me that so many people look at his record at Southampton or Stoke and kind of use it to mock him. There’s this narrative that he was out of his depth and isn’t really a very good manager. It’s disrespectful.
“He’s got an amazing body of work at Luton and the way Charlton are playing now only backs up the point. He’s a top, top manager who works as hard as anyone and it would be great to see him back in the Championship.”
