No Cardiff manager will ever repeat this. It's five years old now this article but it was written 26 years after it happened and Cardiff have been in the Premier League since too. I'm biased but I was right in the middle of it and I have never seen a club's players and management so close to it's fan base in all my years as a football fan. www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/eddie-era-still-cardiff-citys-15620876 |

I REALLY hope Cardiff look elsewhere,why not Ryan Lowe perhaps?
Our owners can't let the plans they've set in motion be ripped up,we're onto something here and to go back to square one would be ridiculous.

Nathan enjoying his time at Charlton liked it when here for the u21 also.

Nathan is known to have "jumped" before, leaving Luton for Stoke.
If he does go, Ryan Lowe would be available for us too, I guess, or maybe it will be someone else. Maybe even someone who plays more attacking football.

Laughable that people already got him
In the Cardiff job … he won’t leave Charlton for a risky job at Cardiff where he could be out of work again at the end of the season .. he practically has full control at Charlton.

Full control? Our tightarse billionaire owners currently won't even let him sign geriatric striker Danny Hylton on a 3-4 month contract. That's hardly "full control"! |

He's got a long contract here, if he left it would cost Cardiff a few bob.

Cardiff could be his dream job where he would be on more money and a better contract. If he were to fail at Cardiff and get sacked he would be financially protected by his contract. I am with Reams he would not turn this opportunity down. Practically having full control with us isn't much use if you don't have the budget to back it up and he really hasn't had anymore to spend above what we received for our outgoings. |

What’s that old cobblers everyone spouts when a woman jacks you in? Stage 1 Anger, stage 2 denial, stage 3 acceptance…… you’ve made it to stage 2 bloody quick ain’t ya 😂 come on, we all know if Cardiff came calling he’d be off! |

Don't think it's laughable at all. If we don't go up in the next season or too I can't see the American owners pursuing with a lost cause. It's nonsense that he has full control at Charlton when he's been given a lame budget to work with. He was released as a youngster at Cardiff and I know for a fact from a couple of players from my Dad's time there that I have stayed in touch with, Damon Searle and Nathan Blake, who also played in the same youth team ranks with NJ, that the club are very close to his heart. |

It's plainly obvious that the only reason he has gone down the Luton route is because the money given to him is nowhere near enough what is needed to create a promotion winning squad so instead of squandering what he has, he has turned to players he knows and paid them a decent wage rather than pay a fee. He wouldn't have to do that at Cardiff that's for sure. |

Mate I don’t think budget is connected to turnover in league one from what I understand,……it’s all down to how much owners want to invest to get their clubs promoted up the leagues…..Birminghams owners are keen to get their team up through the leagues very quickly and their spending this summer would I doubt have very little connection to their revenue turnover….. |

You simply cannot defend your way to promotion. The current top five clubs haven't played a team in the top half of the table yet. |

He wouldn't have to do that at Cardiff that's for sure. I must admit I am really confused about all this top 4 budget that we have that keeps coming up in conversation……. I would think there are at least five clubs that have bigger squads with more quality in depth and that’s without taking Birmingham out of the equation I can’t see the wages of the likes of AMB, Anderson, Campbell, Assimwe, Kanu and Dixon being that high so if we are paying top 4 wages in league one then we must really be overpaying the likes of Watson, REG and Edun and breaking the bank with the likes of Docherty, Mitchell and Adhadme…..I just can’t see it personally especially after we offloaded so many player wages in the summer and then stalled after bringing in 7 new players…….just my opinion…..it just doesn’t seem to make sense to me…..and it looks like we don’t even have the budget left even to bring in Hylton…. |

He wouldn't have to do that at Cardiff that's for sure. The club ran the summer window in a certain way and have clearly solved a number of problems that Jones inherited. New, better keeper plus one more decent centre back and suddenly we're rock solid at the back. He's only been our manager for eight months and yes, he's brought in a few ex Luton players as free agents and we absolutely needed more experience / depth in midfield. We've arrived in the top six and hopefully stay here but it's blindingly obvious that we need a mix of coaching, fine tuning the system, plus the return of Leaburn and Edwards to move up a gear. And probably new talent signed in January so as to maintain momentum. The three investors only make a turn on their money if we keep building and secure promotion. But that needs to be addressed in a sane manner, or it all becomes extremely expensive, plus the risk of falling over. Bottom line is that the board need to navigate this journey. One would hope that they're already looking at the questions that will arise in November. And that 2025 budgets will be set so as maintain progress. We could and should be in a very good place by February! |

We could and should be in a very good place by February! It’s always jam tomorrow though isn’t it? We have been hearing that the next window is the one that will make us compete for years and years. If Jones leaves for Cardiff the next window will be the one where we will be looking to move out all his signings and bring in stop gaps until we can build the new manager’s squad in the summer. Then by September we will be hearing that January is the time to push on. Then when January comes ‘round we’ll be told that it’s very difficult to do business in January so we’ll be planning for the next summer. There is never any jam! |

We're on a journey and yes, we're competing. Early days but both bookies and models have us down for the play-offs. That's very different to existing in mid-table and asking why we're so bad. Of course there's no jam! But we do have the choice to embrace the club as well as discuss how we might improve further. And ask whether the owners interests mean that they should inject more cash / change anything. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_SisyphusAbove all else, keep pushing the boulder up the mountain! |

Best start too a season in seven years after the worse season last time in 98 years and people linking Jones too Cardiff can not make it up. Best start? Why don't you look at the bigger picture. Taken from another club’s Twitter. Where CAFC are in the respective League One tables after 5 games - Shots on target per game = 23rd Xg  = 21st Possession = 19th Goals = 14th Clean Sheets = 1st Interesting stats, which back up what we have been saying on here, namely that we are terrible in possession, carry minimal goal threat, yet our defence and keeper have got us joint top of the league. |
