Just why are so many managers in football unemployed and out of work at the moment. Could be that
the financial crisis is effecting managers too? Or is it simply because they are bidding their
time, before going back into the big time job. This article is going to look at all these reasons
and [...
I have this habit of over-estimating Cardiff in recent years and I'm hoping that habit continues,
because I think a trip to their ground is a daunting prospect. An overtly talented squad at their
disposal last year did have the considerable drag factor of manager Dave Jones to counterweight it,
whilst now a more sensibly assembled collection of players is enhanced by the undeniable talent of
Malky Mackay at the helm [.
Ahead of Saturday's game at the Cardiff City Stadium, Bluebirds fan Joe Harrison tell us what to
expect from the home side... What has changed since last season? Almost everything. There's a new
man in the dug-out with Malky Mackay replacing Dave Jones after last year's failure to earn
promotion. Jones' departure was followed by [.
If a week is a long time in politics, then three months is an aeon in football. Cardiff finished
the 2010/11 Championship season under a cloud, play-off failure for the second successive year
condeming Dave Jones to the sack on the very same day that arch-rivals Swansea made it to the
Promised Land of the Premier League - £38m substitutes, 4-0 drubbings and all - and heralding the
break-up of

promotion just days before the season finale.
10 years ago two of Wales' biggest clubs, the Bluebirds and the Swans, were strung up in the
dungeons of 3rd and 4th tier football battling to escape but struggling to survive in a desolate
league stripped of cash and often swept under the rug and hidden away until the FA Cup. Now,
however, it looks excitingly plausible that these two teams could be reaching the summit of English
football.
The Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is continuing his recovery from the double fracture of his leg
while away on loan at Cardiff City, but according to Dave Jones he is not yet fit enough to return
to the Emirates. The loan deal is only supposed to be for one month, but Jones is already keen

Cardiff City manager Dave Jones, in a rather surprising statement, at least at first blush,
has said today that Jay Bothroyd will not be joining Newcastle this month. Jay Bothroyd staying at
Cardiff? The 28-year-old striker has been linked with Newcastle all last week, and there were
widespread reports that had Newcastle in contact [.
