Updated: “ I can Confirm Nathan Jones “

I just can't see Tan ever changing his ways to be able to have a manager like Jones.

Jones would not accept interference and would want to build his own squad.

Does anyone really think Tan would change so that could happen? I definitely don't.


Was told what I posted about Buckingham and I believe it - but if they've been told they could still get Jones then it explains the delay a bit more.

The risk with that is we don't get Jones and also Buckingham gets tired of waiting and goes to Plymouth.

Oh dear this is not a good scenario. From what I read yesterday, and from what I saw on youtube, I was really excited about Des Buckingham coming here.

If I was ever placed in a position where a club made out I was 2nd choice I would tell them where to go - and we are in danger of that - particularly as he is the favourite for the Plymouth job.

Dont get me wrong I would like Nathan Jones here too - but this is an angle the club should have resolved well before now - and now they are in danger of getting neither.

In the legal field we have a phrase. The longer you leave them the more chance there is of something going wrong - This is why I would prefer the club to be more decisive and make quicker (but good) decisions

Paul, I agree with your post here! I can see the attraction of Nathan Jones and it appears ‘something’ has changed in the last day or so, as I am as confident as Ned that Des Buckingham is/was lined up to get the job

Given that is the case, would any of us ‘hang around’ to be second choice when there are (at least one) other offers on or around the (proverbial) table?

Most wouldn’t, so I sincerely hope the club get this one right or we’ll be back to the drawing board and effectively back to where we were 6 weeks ago!

Is Rambo even qualified yet?

I think badges at pro level is pointless, but all that super licence nonsense stopped Fabrigas taking over at Como, so qualified Osian Roberts "managed" them.

Jones is a pro. I doubt he'd even talk to city before their playoff final.

Completely city mind. The second fav is a control freak who'll want to check the length of the mowers, and temperature of the ice baths then a total novice who said we need a total change of structure to succeed.

""Nathan Jones has suddenly gone from 33-1 to 7-4 second fave, behind Ramsey at 2-5 on. I know it’s 10O% NOT Ramsey,
something has triggered all that on Nathan in last 3-4 hours""


My guess is the fact abbo from the echo & this forum have sent odds tumbling. You could say mourinho spoke to the cardifd tea lady and odds would go from 38000/1 to 7/2

Your half way there with a manager who loves the club the city and has always wanted to manage cardiff.
He understands the fans on the terraces as a city fan bit of a seige mentality as a welsh club in an English league, men of Harlech welsh flags etc.
Warnock got all this also and understood it.
Jones was my choice before riza I hope this comes off you want someone that understands all of the above,
rather than just managing a football team and having a job.

Also would like to add as I was asked who I would prefer to buckingham on that post, it would be Nathan but did not know he was back in the frame.

What's your problem

"jonesy"

I can see us losing out on both targets.

We really should be making a decision now. This club is such a joke, doesn’t take a football brain to understand we should be making plans ahead of time.

This is the problem with people saying “there’s no rush” and it’s a summer window so we have plenty of time. Sounds like even with this Wasserman company coming in, it’s still chaos. Not saying that’s all down to Cardiff if things like Buckingham talking to Plymouth are true but at the end of the day it has taken too long. Riza was sacked on the 19th of April and it still sounds like the club have no idea. This board are always 2 steps behind other clubs, it’s no wonder why players come to our club and put in below par performances because we have no leadership or decision makers.

Never mind the manager, I feel like we desperately need a DOF. At this rate we may have one by the start of the 2045 season

May not come off but, if we are trying, I love that we are finally trying to poach a manager and not going to the job centre.

I have to say fair play we really are trying

Several clubs without managers its nature of the buisness! Yes we would have liked a manager yesterday but was never going to happen ... as long as get right man that will mean got things right ....if not just meltdown on here...

Don’t have one. But thanks for checking in.

I’m unclear whether or not you referring to why I found you post amusing just politely ask.

I agree with your point regarding the right man, but it seems that the board are always slow and behind other clubs when it comes to things like this. As you said, if they get the right man then great but how often has that happened? Currently David Wagner is the favourite for the Plymouth job. Why have we not looked at a manager of that calibre and experience? With all due respect to Plymouth, we’re a much bigger club and if they can get that appointment over the line then that’s unbelievable for League 1

Can’t see it being Jones.. cost too much
maybe a backroom staff hold up.

What Cooper doing these days

Anything can happen.

Charlton announces that Jones has an improved deal
Charlton announces that Jones is leaving by mutual consent, agreed compensation
Rambo is our head coach and Osian Roberts is running the club
Des is our manager


All are feasible

Wagner is good shout but not every manager is an owners cup of tea we all no what an idiot tan is but choice of manager is a matter of taste for fans as well as tan.

There's enough to blame the club for but managers deciding to speak to other clubs isn't really valid, the make their own decisions.

He has bombed everywhere apart from his first three seasons at Huddersfeild

Ramsey at 2/5 on means there's a lot of betting on him.

If this is the case it's nice to see the club put up a fight for a change .
If we get jones I think it would put the bounce back in ccfc .He's a local lad and a fan same as Ramsey and cooper. FINGERS CROSSED we get him he'd be great I think

But we are, even just by reading the threads on this forum, Chris.

It was firstly mentioned that Buckingham was due to be announced, but now that is on hold due to interest in Nathan Jones.

In the meantime, it’s common knowledge that Plymouth are targeting Buckingham.

As such, the above statement has some legs. Delaying Buckingham could impact us hiring a manager we want (even if he’s second choice)

I disagree (respectfully) because the club were in no real rush to make the right appointment in close season and the only pressures they are under is from their own ineptitude in recent times and the pressure put on them from inpatient supporters who know little of what is going on behind the scenes

I agree with the Buckingham comment though, as I am confident that Ned’s thread was accurate at that point. It seems that the Jones interest has come in very late and I don’t blame the club for reviewing their position; although it may well cost them if neither man ends up coming

I reiterate that Buckingham is my preferred choice for his playing and management style

Chris, I totally agree about Buckingham.

I would choose him over Jones. Because it's not just Jones the football manager, he comes with a lot of theatrics that I don't think we need.

Consult Bananarama on this

It is something I thought might be played out if you consider the silence and lack of action. The club probably feel it was worthy of the long wait.
They offer enough he's ours.
Hes a real Bluebird .
Its his dream job.
He has good experience.
Fans will be aboard.
