iWurzel Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Have it on very good authority that Dave Jones will be joining in mid October. I am of course as sceptical as anyone else about this right at this point, but all I can say is the same source was right on the money about: a) David James signing b) Steve Coppell resigning before they happened.

Robbored Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 So if City win the next two games and then go on a run of good results, Dave Jones will still be joining City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWurzel Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 So if City win the next two games and then go on a run of good results, Dave Jones will still be joining City? As I said, please don't shoot the messenger. I'm just passing on what I've been told by someone I work with, who has a legitimate source at the club. If anyone else had told me I would have laughed it off, but as the other two things I've been told by the same person panned out exactly as I was told, I'm not dismissing this as nonsense just yet...

Don't shoot the messenger! Did you post both the stories about James and Coppell on here BEFORE THEY HAPPENED because I don't recall anything on here about Coppell until it was announced by the media and club on the day he resigned. Robbored's point is a good one - think about it CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

del ete Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Nothing wrong with a rumour now & again, although if this is the case why on earth would we wait until mid October....?

Monkeh Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 So if City win the next two games and then go on a run of good results, Dave Jones will still be joining City? maybe as director of football to help millen who is out of his depth at them moment, help get to grips and guide him to become the manager you believe he is, I don't think its true until millen has gone anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned this to him on a number of occasions - if you see him coming up to you at the Open Day, run.....! Have to agree with Robbo though, mid October makes no sense at all. It's either here and now or nothing. I worry that if it's left too long then we're going to be adrift with only Doncaster for company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I hope he's replaced win the next two or not. I agree. According to the crapdiff forum DJ is still on their pay roll.. perhaps this has to come to an end before he can move to a new appointment.

'Orns Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 we don't know the terms of his departure from Cardiff he might not be able to manage a club for a amount of time Yeah, was just working it out Pretty certain he was sacked, so surely they can't put any time limit on when he works again. Surely they can only do that if he's resigned to stop him going to a rival etc etc? Only reason I can think of is that he was happy to stay on the payroll for x amount of time to see out a specific time frame, few holidays, recharge the batteries etc and wait for the endless round of sackings to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called gardening leave. Instead of paying them their contract off, they carry on paying them in the hope that they will quit.. Of course then they wouldnt have to pay the remainder of the contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rat Lover_89 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 i see the next 3 games going as follows: home at hull get a 0-0/1-0 win(maybe but my moneys on the 0-0), reading at home get a scrappy 1-0 win maybe or a 0-0/1-1 draw(probaly the draw knowing us), blackpool away loose 2-0/3-1 with kevin phillips doing the bizzo on us! bring in dave jones now!! ive stuck up for KM alot when ppl have been knocking him but i cant see it getting any better then it is atleast dave jones will freshen things up try new things and maybe we can head for the play-offs(all tho he's not great in them is he !)

CTID!!!! I think a complete change of Outlook is needed for both these games. Take the shackles off and attack, if we get beat so be it, but show the fans some attacking intent. Come on Keith, give them a pure attacking brief and let the opposition worry about us for a change. Give the paying public something to cheer about.
