THIS WHY I HAVENT GOT ANY RESPECT FOR

Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:18 pm

Dave Jones, because how can he stand up for PR and back him after all PR's lies and spin. He cant sack DJ as it would cost £800,000. So in my opinion if DJ has any self respect he would blame PR for the mess we are in, if he doesnt, which he hasnt so far, then in my opinion they are in it together , so dont feel sorry for your self DJ or no one else feel sorry for him, I CAN TELL YOU NOW HE IS WELL LOOKED AFTER. Personally I think he also knows more than he makes out, they have enough holidays together.

I understand why some stick up for DJ, but they dont realise how close DL and PR are. and I dont mean Gay :lol:

Dave knows where his bread is buttered and even though it would cost that much to sack him I don't think Ridsdale would really care about spending an extra £800k of our club's money.

Come on Annis, what do you expect him to do? Ridsdale is his boss FFS, how many people do you know would go public on how much they believe their boss is a c**t? Get real mate.

Agree with annis. One other thing that i don't like about Jones is his distancing himself from the fans, he never goes overboard for his praise for the support we give the team.It probably does'nt mean a lot to him but i think it would go a long way with the fans.

Then fair enough then he can never moan that he hasnt got a bigger enough squad if we fail this season, as it will be down to him and the Riddler in my opinion.

That's the point of a one year rolling contract!! There is always one year outstanding. It can never be a qustion of paying up a remainder of the year.

dj best manager since schoular-fact

Re: THIS WHY I HAVENT GOT ANY RESPECT FOR

Fri Feb 19, 2010 6:17 pm

certainly the manager that has got us established and playing in the top half of this division

I cant remember a better manager in our recent history

hes a miserable sod though

and paid too much ...although some would argue hes worth it

question is, if he wasnt paid so much would he still be here ?

Also have to agree with Annis, Jones cant have it both ways, he's got a small squad, yes, but still a top 10 wage bill, so he cant moan about having a small squad as he knew his budget and chose to go with a small number of big earners.

At the end of the day, his comments arent of much interest to me. If he gets us in the top 6 I'll love him :ayatollah:

Agree Sludge. Havingsaid that the questions I have to ask is who is a better Manager than Jones; would be willing to come here in our present circumstances; would be able to provide a greater degree of success on the field with our existing resources and finally would do all this at a much lower salary?

How can you say its down to Dave Jones if there's a transfer embago on us, I personally don't think you like because of the way he treats Feeney

Re: THIS WHY I HAVENT GOT ANY RESPECT FOR

Fri Feb 19, 2010 6:37 pm

Personally I think DJ is a top man and top manager who's done a top job for us, in doing what he's done I think he deserves what he's on!!

By the way before someone says i'm not him!!!

I thought DJ showed clever restraint in what he feels about PR, he is a miserable tw*t tho but thats part of his charector. In all honesty I think we would be completely fucked without him at the moment. Its the first time Im saying this but I think under the circumstances he is doing a fantastic job.

Are there any managers who would slag off their chairman though? In this respect he's no different to any manager, Fergie included, and he virtually runs Man United

Re: THIS WHY I HAVENT GOT ANY RESPECT FOR

Fri Feb 19, 2010 6:55 pm

With DJ owning shares in Cardiff City there was always going to be a conflict.

In normal companies employees are enticed into buying shares but with DJ it causes a problem and faced with losing his cash or weakening his squad he went for the cash.

Top man - Why?

Top manager? for what? getting us to a flukey FA Cup Final with an easier passage than normal? Besides - this was down to the grit and determination of the players rising to the occasion.

Top Job and deserves the money he's on? what, more than some premier league managers!!!

what a load of bollocks.

Agreed he has done miracles with what has gone on, but and a big but i still don't like him and that's my opinion !!

Correct Tim, he cant have it both ways and thats what he has been doing.

I'll hold judgement on Jones until the last kick of a ball for the season.At present he's only been a nearly man & we've faded every season under him.I know some will say he's done well with the bare thin squad we've got, but turn it on it's head we have'nt done that well with the wages they are being paid.

jones was in the papers one minute bragging that the season ticket money for players was his idea then when it all went shit he was saying his job is to manage the team and he leaves the running of the club to the chairman :shock:

i think the teams done well this year, how much of that is to do with DJ is anyones guess. But if I think back to last seasons final whistle i wanted him sacked there and then.
