JONSEY DESERVES CREDIT

Sat Nov 13, 2010 11:35 pm

Soooooooooo many reasons now why we are so lucky to have Dave Jones as our manager. He has come in for some criticism by members of this forum, some justified with regards to tactics, however we are lucky to have this bloke at our club for sooooo many reasons

1. He buys players for nothing and turns them into gems
2. Hes made millions for this club
3. Buys jay bothroyd for nothing and fans/past clubs call him a big failure with an attitude problem and now he is top scorer and called up to the England team, same with chopra/whittingham/roger johnson/ glenn loovens /cameron jerome etc etc Ramsey
4. He has made cardiff progress higher every season
5. FA CUP final
6. Play off final with limited resources/no depth in squad with club on verge of going bust with huge uncertainty
7. Is not only doing his job as a manager but running the club on football matters and doing it very well
8. Pulled off Craig Bellamy signing
9. Signed quality players like kev mcnaughton, Jason Joumas when he first came
10. Since coming to the club Cardiff have had the best, most successfull years for ages
11, Helped steady the ship when lawrence left and turned a relegation side into a top team


Im sure there is more reasons but cant think of everything. Lets give the bloke the credit he deserves..ALL MANAGERS MAKE MISTAKES.... Even alex fergerson. Lets appreciate the job hes doing here... we are top of the league and half way through november....IN DJ I TRUST

I know alot of you dont respect him because of his arrogance and never admits hes wrong....but hes a well spoken bloke who knows his job, if he wasnt our manager, we wouldnt be where we are today.

Great post

Yeah he has brought in great players like Taiwo, Commingues, Quinn, Etuhu and a few others I could mention if I can remember their names. Yes he got us to a FA cup final after beating high flying teams like Chasetown, Hereford, Wolves, Middlesborough and the might Barnsley. Yep he has got us in our highest position for years, although he has never won us a promotion and has been given more money than most.

The only problem with DJ is that to every good thing people claim he does there seems to be a bad thing to counter act it.

Re: JONSEY DESERVES CREDIT

Sun Nov 14, 2010 12:15 am

loose bothroyd? got a crystal ball have you?

i give up trying to defend jonsey, nothings good enough for some fans. More money than most??? Are you real? compared to the teams like west brom, newcastle, birmingham, sunderland, hull, etc etc all these clubs tha got promoted had loads of money.....ok blackpool did well but they were a one off and very lucky...if jay had not got injured the play off final would have been a different kettle of fish

Re: JONSEY DESERVES CREDIT

Sun Nov 14, 2010 12:25 am

Last season only one team spent more than us on players and that was Forest. Hull, Burnley and Blackpool got promoted hardly spending anything. Same can be said for WBA and Sunderland when they were in this league. Newcastle being the only ecxceptions.

I know we are top so dont patronise me. We are top because DJ has been allowed to collect the best squad in the league. I stick to my opinion here I could name a few managers in this division who would have us in alot stronger position than what DJ has.

Instead of calling me a tw*t behind your PC how about coming up with some arguments against my arguments.

35 years, very good but I have been following the City for 40 years so you show some respect.

I'm glad we have Dave Jones as manager. He has been very good for our club. I now he has his tactical foibles but there is no such thing as a perfect manager. It is easy to slag anyone off. Much harder to praise someone where it is due. Get off his back and support him.

Well done Dave keep it up.

I have waited 38 years for promotion to the Top Flight, Yes he is the nearest there so far and if he gets us there, I will personally, Thank him and tell him he proved me totally wrong :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

bakedalasker....

the only person responsible for the squad he's built IS dave jones, regardless of who allows it to happen. he has to sell his ideaology to the players to get them in, in the first place. its people like you who make my blood boil mun.
you must be one of these bafoons he refers to...even mourinho makes mistakes ffs, stop thinking we're top european team and get behind everybody at the club that includes dj and everyone who sits in the stand..

And you know bugger all, £760,000 a year,plus Bonuses, He Now has to Deliver. Were All Allowed Our Opinions without Name Calling, 6 YEARS LATER. The amount of players DJ has fallen out with and belittled is Beyond, theres only ONE BAFOON and thats DJ in my Opinion.

Re: JONSEY DESERVES CREDIT

Sun Nov 14, 2010 12:28 pm

no name calling involved

i agree he has to deliver, but with the financial trouble our club has been under, in MY OPINION, no other manager could have done the job with which dj has done, and now finally the weight has been lifted the only way now is up.

Annis you cant blame DJ for referring to the negativity he recieved as bafoons. Too many people have tried to derail him in the past and stop him from building the solid bricks that he has built at the club.

Too many reporters in the press have made stupid comments and try to say DJ is wrong wrong wrong when all he is doing is his job. DJ has been in the game all his life....what do reporters and fans know?...the bloke is a football manager...im a fan of mc donalds but i wouldnt go in and criticise a manager for what staff he puts where on the shop floor?. Like i said everyone makes mistakes in football but look at the overall picture ...we are top, improved every season..have the best squad we ever have...have a brand new stadium, have the biggest attendances for years,, all this under DJ's rein...says it all to me. Sam Hamman left this club with nothing..we were in financial meltdown..DJ was the perfect Football Manager to come in and steady the ship..he has been described by many many people that have met him as an 'inspiration', including Jay bothroyd and who was the first person jay thanked for getting an england call up- Dave Jones

Re: JONSEY DESERVES CREDIT

Been a fan since i was a lad 65/66 season this is the best squad i have ever seen with some top players.DJ has done good so far but if he fails this time he has to go, there cannot be anymore hard luck stories.

I'll reserve mine for May 2012. Well that is if we go up this season. I expect DJ to keep us up in the premier with the resources he has at his disposal now.
