Proven track record managing on a shoestring, and enjoyable football to boot.
CCFC need DJ now or Slade will take us down nice fella an all that but he hasnt a clue.

I don't think it would work a second time, both Len Ashhurst & Frank Burrows are testimony to that fact. Besides, didn't VT ask DJ earlier in the season if he would consider doing a Dof job? I'm not sure DJ could work for VT again, under present conditions anyway.

I knew you'd say that but he went in there near the end of the season when they were almost promoted anyway but in the championship they struggled.

anyone who knows what to do would be better than dear Russell....DJ fits the bill.

Problem is it will be another rescue job and who really wants a black mark on their cv if it all goes tits up....as all our best players have departed ?

Think DJ went there with about eight to ten games to go. Charlton were runaway leaders, and the second place was between the two Sheffield clubs, with United a point ahead. Wednesday overtook them with two games to go, and held their nerve. 38k at Hillsborough for the last game, which Wednesday had to win. United started dropping points when Ched Evans was sent to jail, but that's another story.

To be fair to Jonesey, his still had a bit of work to do.

As much as I'd like to see DJ back in, Slade hasn't been given enough time yet.

He has wasted enough time. God knows how many defenders we will have the end of Jan.

Its like dumping your girlfriend and going out with a munter. Sure your ex looks tasty and you like her goodies but it just don't feel right. You just don't want to risk going back down the same old road and having to dust yourself down to go again on Match .Com. :cry:

this is a joke thread yeah? April the 1st issit? All the money DJ had and he couldnt get us promoted, Swansea & Blackpool done it with a third of his budget, the man also lost the dressing room and well I could mention something else too.

I would of got us promoted with the funds he had, and my managerial experience amounts to playing on playstation.........

Tony Pulis was the man we should of got, or Roy Keane in my view......Bellamy will manage Cardiff anyway in the not too disatant future, which is not a bad thing

That wasn't his work though...nice try. Horrible bloke who didn't like us and didn't have a clue. All the work done by Terry Burton. :thumbright: :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

DJ hasn't said anything good word about cardiff since he's left. The guy is a nob, there are better managers out there looking for jobs no point in running over old ground

Re: Dave Jones S.O.S

no thanks. firstly his attitude towards the fans is antiquated, and football has moved on.

he had his chance and had more than enough time to get us up. since leaving he's been sacked for mediocre results at wednesday and been out of work since.
