Mental... perhaps they figured they might end up in league 1 next season if they kept the same manager...

Not that mental, Cardiff have spent a lot of money and missed out again.

They've spent a lot of money they don't have. Guaranteed they'll be back in administration again this season/next.

Mark my words. :I'm a complete mofleakin Deak

Ironically Dave Jones was mentioned last week as a possibility for the West Ham job.

Working in an office with lots of Caaardiff fans it was wonderful to hear them all whittering on about how it was an English conspiracy - as in everything. Them not getting automatic, QPR not getting a points deduction, them not getting about six penalties against Reading. Honestly, the scale of the chips on their shoulders...

OK they spent money they don't have. But he's done pretty well with it. Two playoff finals and an FA cup final.

I think the owners tend to forget that they are competing with much bigger clubs. Are Cardiff's owners really expecting promotion? Disillusional to think competing for a spot isn't enough.

Fully agree. I think the supporters of the 2 Sheffield clubs would like to swap with what Cardiff have achieved under Dave Jones.
