I believe that if we got there then we would have been an establish premier club. We were primed to go up and it was a disaster we did not win the Championship.
Only positive I have about him is when we played good football it was perhaps the best we played. That was spoilt with some awful football from his teams. His big failing was consistancy. We would go on 3 or 4 bad runs which would cost us those seasons.
It never bothered me his lack of show for passion. What bothered me was the money he was on and the fact he failed to deliver.
yes it was the best squad. built on peanuts compared to what followed FACT.

Not quite fact. Chopra at the time was our most expensive signing of £4m. Hudson cost us just over a £1m.

Silverware won under Dave jones zero.
you missed one. money spent under Dave Jones zero
Dave Jones was given by the Riddler massive money, for massive wages a fact and six years of it.
so why were we selling so many players ?
We did in the first couple of years,but as time went on DJ was allowed a lot of big names and City had a side full of big earners under DJ a fact.
Your Michael Chopras and your Jay Bothroyds were in them days on at least £15,000 and 1£8,000 a week a fact.
Even players like Warren Feeney my mate were given three times there wages they were on at their previous clubs.
Plus
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Robbie Fowler were on well over £25,000 a week and that was those days.
Its total bullshit Dave Jones had no money.

You forget the 800k that we had to give JFH because DJ/Ridsdale promised Jimmy a new contract and then withdrew offer only to be found out by PFA and the club had to pay him compo.

He was very very rude to my wife at the player of the year do.
I know many ex City players who totally disliked him for his attitude.
I personally found him arrogant,pig headed and looked down on our fans.

If its to do with Roathie, then its posters moaning and then a mod bowing down to them deleting, but 100% nothing to do with me.
I will look at all the mod logs now.

Also, remember when he used to go into the club kitchen and help himself to steaks and food. Just a small thing but showed how little respect he had for the club. Tosser.
And despite the Malky love-in I also though Malky was cut from the same cloth. I think the City job was too big for Malky and his ego ran away with him a bit. However, he was a far nicer bloke than Dave Jones ever was.

I agree def a bully to the lesser players.
His fav players did get away with drinking, out the nights before.
Many players told me, he use to say forget the fans u play for me.
Players hardly clapped us away from home under Jones.
Malky always acknowledged our fans
With the Malky punch
We will never know if the Prem was to big for him as the pressure between him and Tan hurt our club.
