Former Bluebirds centre-back and caretaker manager Danny Gabbidon has said Mark Hudson has every chance of being named Cardiff boss on a permanent basis and he would love the chance to do it.
Hudson is still the interim boss, having been given that title following Steve Morison's sacking, and has overseen an unbeaten start to life as the main man in the dugout.
Saturday's win over Wigan Athletic means Cardiff have claimed seven points in the three games since Hudson took the reins and Gabbidon believes he has a good chance of being named full-time manager.
"I think if he keeps getting results he is going to be a hard person to ignore. Steve Morison got the job early in his coaching career, coming up from the under-23s. They probably saw him as a cost-effective things as well, everything lined up," he said on the most recent episode of the BBC's Elis James Feast of Football podcast, which came out shortly before the win at Wigan..
"Mark Hudson is someone with more experience than Steve Morison. Someone who has played at the club. In terms of his personality, he is fantastic guy. It all comes down to results. To get a draw against Burnley, (a win over) Blackburn, to pick up four points from those two games.
"I spoke to Mark a couple of weeks ago after Steve Morison left and, if it was offered to him, it's something he would love to do. It's something he has been striving towards for a long time, he had that spell at Huddersfield, that's the progression for him now.
"It just comes down to results and what he does. It's open. When Morison went you are thinking if there is a succession plan, that hasn't happened. The owners, the board are very open with the next person they bring in and he is in the building at the minute bringing in results."
