Jones to ride out the storm?

How much pressure is Cardiff City boss Dave Jones under? He has shown in the past he cares little of the opinion of the fans and looks down with contempt on pundits who question is management skills.


The board has discuses the situation briefly according to report with them coming down on the side of the manager. Bluebird’s chief executive Gethin Jenkins talk about Jones said,

“Why should Dave Jones’ position be under scrutiny now? It is not.
“We are fifth in the table with a game in hand and if we were to win that one it would put us back in second.
“I think supporters do need to keep things in perspective at this moment in time.
“My aim now is to work with the board and with Dave to try to bring in new players during this month to strengthen.
“The aim now is just the same and that is to keep on with our aim to bring Premiership football to Cardiff City.”
In his column in the South Wales Echo Nathan Blake is calling on Jones to go, the headline reads


The last time an Echo communist (David Giles) took on Dave Jones he was roundly attacked from all quarters chairman, management, players and fans. The then players even put his picture on the dart board of Giles. I wrote on this blog when Blake took over ‘How long before a new face replaces David Giles on the dartboard at the Bluebirds training ground.’ You just can be goody two shoes about a team like Cardiff, there are problems.

The whole Giles thing turned sour for me when Dave Jones attack Giles career and fans started call him a Swansea fan when he is a 100% Cardiff City fan. Will he (Jones) now turn on Blake and will the fans. He can’t really have a pop at his career having paid £1.5million to take him to Wolves when he was managing them. Fans can shout out a scream as much as they like but until the Malaysians have there say, it’s not going to happen.

Jones in Jones out all I have on my mind is a win tomorrow against Leeds, three points bank and back into second in the Championship League table.
