Dave Jones to return to Cardiff...

Mon Jun 18, 2012 11:22 am

On December the first with Sheffield Wednesday

I will give him a good response. I think that any stick he gets on here in unjust.
Over all I think he was a good manager for us, took us to a cup final and nearly to the prem.
However having said that I also firmly believe that he took us as far as he could and it was time for him to go last year

Couldn't wait to get rid of him and I'm still glad he has gone but I will give him a round of applause, after all he was in charge for the 2008 FA Cup Final even if he did bottle it.

Wont be there as I am making a personal stand against the re-brand but the man deserves a standing ovation as he put Cardiff City on the football map.

Making a stand?

Some might say not bothering to support the team ( not shirt ) that you, presumably love?

Also, if you thing Dave Jones is deserving of applause why not just go and greet the team bus, have a little clap, and go back home. Don`t forget to take your ball home so nobody else can play with it either.

Good idea, I might just do that but where does the ball come into it?

I am not a seal. Unlike you happy clappers.

Here here pal, here f*cking here.

The man was with us for 6 years. He changed the club and brought in some fantastic players. A better manager than Malky overall as far as i'm concerned. As a man who has followed the Bluebirds for 64 years I will always remember the Jones years. (It's the only years the plastic army CAN f*cking appreciate).

He had to go though, his time was up and he took us as far as he could. The stick he gets on here is pathetic especially when you consider Malky is getting praised to the hilt. I may decide to go to this game just to give him a warm response. I am also taking a stand.

I wonder if he will do the after match press conference as there will be no way he can ban MediaWales :?

I will give the man a round of applause as he did get us that FA Cup Final and he did stabilise the ship when things started falling apart under SH. Without him at the time I believe we would have slipped back down the league.

For me he greatest success was getting us to that playoff final which given the transfer enbargo, the golden ticket scam and winding up orders left., right and centre was amazing. Sadly our inability to sign players caught up with us during that playoff final, not DJ fault as for me the real damage was done by SH, Langston and Ridsdale.

Don't like the man personally and I'm glad he is gone but respect his efforts when he was here.

Good post, very fair.

Its refreshing to see someone admit that even though they didnt like him as a person you respect the job he done. :ayatollah:

Again here here pal, here f*cking here.

I did not like him at all, he was arrogant and didn't care much about the fans but he's a superb manager and will be back in the premiership one day. Like I said, if there was ever a time to sack him it was after the play off defeat to Reading. Both parties knew it was time to move on.

Anyone who boos him is booing one of the most successful managers we have had in recent decades (A fact which ever way you look at it).

He was a c**t though.

Yeah, pay the agent and player far more than they are worth. He won some but lost more.

I not pro or anti DJ. It was time to go, but he put us back on the map.

Mild applause until KO

I'll give him a good welcome. He transformed us from a championship relegation team to a side that was fit for the Prem at one point. Even if he is a bottler.

Just remember, he brought Whitts, Jay, Chops, Bellers, Hudson, Marshall, McNaughton, Loovens, and Jimmy Floyd to the City. Although he did bring in some trile, JET, JLS, Parkin, Etuhu, Fowler...
