Nathan Jones: Charlton Athletic boss tells fans 'they can pick the team and I'll leave'

Charlton boss Nathan Jones said if fans want to pick the team he would "have his money and move somewhere else" after his side's victory over Birmingham City at the weekend.

Matty Godden's second-half strike secured a 1-0 win at the Valley on Saturday which leaves the Addicks outside the League One play-off places on goal difference.

Speaking to BBC Radio London, former Southampton and Luton manager Jones revealed he had been abused by his own fans during his team's preceding three-game losing run.

"There's been a lot of noise this week. I got abused by my own fans the other day, absolutely abused by my own fans, who questioned our selections," he said.

"I'm really proud of the coaching staff because we had to make bold decisions and we did because no-one's gone after Birmingham like we did.

"I'm experienced enough to know you can't panic, you can't listen to noise.

"There's a message for the fans: if you want to get behind something, get behind something.

"We're going to have some bad performances but hey, we've given them more good times than bad at the moment so we're in good credit."
