Dave Jones for me. Took us from relegation fodder to promotion candidates, fa cup final and a brand of attacking football that was exciting to watch.

When I first started supporting the Bluebirds Jimmy Scoular was the manager and what a manager he was but in recent times then its got to be the one and only Eddie May without a doubt for me but Malky is a very close 2nd.

Where are Jimmy Andrews, Richie Morgan and Len Ashurst in that list :o

There has never been a manager of Cardiff City called Wilfred McGuinness, not even as temporary manager, he played for Man Utd but retired at 22 years of age through injury and didn't travel on the plane that fatally crashed in Munich that killed the Busby Babes, he then became coach of Man Utd but never managed Cardiff City so I'm not quite sure where you got that from. :?

Big difference to finishing 2nd in the league and still WINNING promotion.

Burrows won us promotion twice by the way. ;)

A Gent who knew how to connect with the terrace., wore his heart on his sleeve.

Scunthorpe 93 was with no doubt my most memorable day following City.

From Dai Hunt trying to ref the kickabout in that Pub Car Park 1000 a side i think to finally getting home on the Monday

As the ad says Priceless.

Toss up between Eddie May and Dave Jones, went to Dave because it will piss everyone who hates him off.

Well, it wouldn't make sense for them to vote for a manager that they never knew/watched! :lol:

Seriously, why be critical of the newcomers all the time? Everyone has to start at some point!
