It's The Football Silly Season - Dave Jones linked by media to Blackburn vacancy

Jonesy displayed his arms
folded, passionless touchline look


Having sacked Paul Ince this morning, Sky Sports News immediately named Cardiff City boss Dave Jones as a possibility to replace him at Blackburn Rovers.

Rovers are in desparate shape and seem to be on their way to the Championship as a club in decline. Jones meanwhile is steering Cardiff towards a play-off tilt at the Premiership with a new stadium coming and are a club moving ahead.

Blackburn will surely want an impact manager and I don't believe Dave Jones is that. He's a steady man with rigid thoughts and tactics. It is therefore no surprise that DJ is now 6th favourite at about 20/1 ... I'd keep your money in your pockets personally.

It is testimony to Jones' public perception having steered Cardiff to the F.A. Cup Final and current play-off berth on frugal resources that would see his name linked to any vacancy of this ilk even if he still doesn't win over a fair section of City fans but I would be staggered if this is still a running story past the next 24 hours.
