    Have to disagree here Guvnor.

    I think at this level he's a fantastic appointment. However, something went on after the Crawley home game with our transformation.

    If we do not go up this season, it IS a failure, but I think he is the man to take us up, eventually.

    Fair enough, it's all about different opinions.

    I'd prefer you to be right, it would be best for the Club.

    I think jones has done a fantastic job. Autos were so close and achievable. What costs us was spunking all that money on Ahadme and not pushing May to stay. All that is on the SMT.

    I think I've become so cynical over the past decade that I would only welcome one of two managers coming to CAFC, assuming we ever make it to the Championship;

    Phil Parkinson
    Scott Parker

    Assuming that Curbs will never take the job back (which seems a safe assumption).
    Anybody else would have to prove themselves with achievement before they would get a good word out of me.
    A string of bad owners and the harm they have done has made me that mistrusting.

    If you're going Nathan, then go now.
    Give the Club a whole Summer to prepare for the Championship.

    Jones regularly reminds us of the stick he took when we were sh1te. So I don't discount these rumours.

    Jones is odds-on for the Cardiff job?

    I guess they will have money from somewhere to buy their way out of L1.
    Rather more than our owners will be spending I shouldn't wonder.
    Combine that with the feather NJ has just added to his cap, and they would seem a good fit.

    On the other hand the reliable Rich Cawley reckons there is no chance of Jones going to Cardiff.

    Last time we went up, did anybody try to tempt Lee Bowyer away?

    I honestly don't recall.
    I do remember Roland taking forever to give him a contract.

    Jones out to 6/1 now. Way down the pecking order. Looks like he's staying... for the moment <whistle>

    In Cawley we trust. However he has a track record of jumping ship, and earlier in the season he threatened to walk away if fans thought they could do a better job than him. He has been very sensitive to fans' criticism, and has expressed a wish to manage Cardiff one day, so there will be speculation until Cardiff sign a new manager.

    Jones signs a new long term contract!

    A real show of intent. Now give him a decent budget and get ready for the season.

    Very pleased with this
