Hindsight is indeed 20-20 but Nathan Jones couldn't really turn down the opportunity to manage a club which had been a Premier League regular until recently and also have a Premier League infrastructure in place.
Having said that he'd been given a good chance by Stoke and had a whole pre season to bring in his own players. The writing had been on the wall for a while now.
There won't be a shortage of League 1 clubs around who'll be willing to employ him on the back of what he did at Luton.
