Jones report card, must do better

According to the South Wales Echo manager Dave Jones has been asked to draw up his plans for next season, but that doesn't mean he's got the job. His report card for last season would be an F- for a failure because automatic promotion was his for the taking, but it slip way embarrassingly. For his mock exam this week he will be hoping for an A+ and hope for the same result at the end of next season if he can sell it to the board.

The decision will hopefully happen by the end of the week with the paper suggesting the club is eyeing former Newcastle boss Chris Hughton and ex-Charlton chief Alan Curbishley among others has possible replacements.

He has been asked to give the Malaysians an outline budget on players he would like to bring in along with the possible costs fee and wages. It would be interesting to see if Jones plans will depend heavily on loan signings next season if caused some problems last season because of the numbers mainly. He will probably go for free signings and maybe a few transfers that will involve fees.


Cardiff City' chief executive Gethin Jenkins has been in talks with Dave Jones reviewing what many regard has the failure of last season and the plans for next season before the Malaysians and the board decide on their plans. By the end of the week in will be nearly three since the end of the season for Cardiff, but nearly four weeks for our rivals in the Championship next season. While at Cardiff time is standing still other clubs are in the transfer market doing deals that might have interested Dave Jones or any new boss.

One thing for sure if Dave Jones does stay boss he will have a hard time winning around the majority of fans at the club.
