SURELY THIS IS JUST A RUMOUR AND NOTHING MORE

Had three texts this afternoon stating Dave Jones will come in as Director of Football and will be overseeing Scott Young and Mark Cahill who apparently will be given a run of games as a trial.

It must be nothing more than a rumour surely ?

Loved by Tan, I respect him highly as a player.

I'm not entirely sure how it'll work. A lot of our senior players will just laugh at the appointment due to inexperience but it'd be nice to work in an ideal world. Someone from inside our own club

I've been lucky enough to meet Scott and Marc on a few occasions at the club and various open days etc and they both know their football inside out, and wouldn't make a bad management team in my opinion. Both have all their uefa badges as far as I know, and with Gabbs as well I can't see what other option we have at the moment in the short term. Look at what happened to Nigel Adkins for example. Have to be worth a punt, know the club inside out, know the players, and we all know youngy bleeds blue.

Scott Young knows what it's like to play for the club and wear the shirt with pride. Just because he has not played the game at the highest level,does not mean to say that he can't manage there.

My sauce tells me Hristo Stoichkov is Tan's man!

Wilts I'm with you on that, been involved with the club since he retired, so hasn't ever really left us. Even at Port Talbot him and Marc were still doing their CCFC jobs afaik.

Cardiff City rookies Scott Young and Danny Gabbidon could be given the chance to continue leading Bluebirds

Friday Sep 19th 2014

By Chris Wathan

WalesOnline understands club chiefs are not ruling out the possibility of them continuing beyond Saturday's trip to Derby


Cardiff City could yet give Scott Young and Danny Gabbidon the chance to show they could make their move into management permanent, WalesOnline understands.

Club chiefs are not ruling out the possibility of the popular duo continuing in the roles if they impress after being thrust into the spotlight following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure.

Former defender Young and recently returned player-coach Gabbidon were the surprise choice to take temporary charge of the Bluebirds at Derby County on Saturday. The pair, whose only frontline managerial experience comes via Young’s time in charge of Welsh Premier side Port Talbot, will be in the dugout as the team look to arrest their slide down the Championship table.

It is thought the former players were told they would be overseeing first team duties after Dundee’s Paul Hartley turned down a surprise approach to replace Solskjaer after initial suggestions of a swift appointment.

However, with Cardiff now reassessing their options as they try and identify a “young and hungry” boss, the Bluebirds are not ruling out the prospect of the duo continuing in the roles beyond this weekend.

The news comes after bookies’ favourite Tony Pulis distanced himself from the job, while former Cardiff star Craig Bellamy tonight ruled himself out of contention.

Ex-Bluebirds boss Dave Jones remains one of the favourites in the betting having been sounded out about a director of football role before the decision to appoint Solskjaer.

Club sources have initially indicated Jones is not in the frame for the manager's job this time around but he could yet come into the picture in an advisory role if Tan opts to introduce a director of football to oversee an inexperienced coach.
