HOUDINI JONES SURVIVES!

Alright Dave,
don't look so happy about it

How the feck did that happen?
No matter how you look at it, Dave Jones should be losing his job at Cardiff - too many reasons to support change at the top, nowhere near enough sadly to support him. Nothing personal, just reality.

There's little doubt Peter Ridsdale's lack of support since the weekend and hot gossip that he indicated he was on the verge of dismissing not just Jones but the entire CCFC coaching set up on Sunday, everyone awaited confirmation today.

Instead came a club statement that they were continuing with their man - a unanimous decision by the Board and key shareholders believed to be Paul Guy and Mike Hall of PMG. To say it left supporters open-mouthed, shocked and accusing Ridsdale and the Board of being bottlers would be a huge understatement. The inevitable conclusion is that this has little to do with football and plenty more to do with City's perilous state with finances, the impending legal case with Langston, even Jones' too cosy relationship with Ridsdale.

For Ridsdale to have set this up and then not executed is quite embarrassing and doe him few favours. Suggestions are that Dave Jones has two games to save himself. He seems like a Dead Man Walking right now.
