Jones Sacked As Cardiff Boss
City Old Boy News Former Coventry City defender Dave Jones has been sacked as manager of Cardiff City. Cardiff missed out again this season on automatic promotion to the Premier League and then missed out on a second route for promotion by losing in the Championship Play-Off Semi-Finals to Reading. Jones had been in charge of Cardiff for 315 games. Cardiff’s Chairman and Board, CEO Gethin Jenkins said to his club’s official website: "We would like to thank Dave Jones for his considerable efforts with the Club over the past six seasons. He leaves his post in the knowledge that he has left the Club in a far better position than when he arrived. "Dave's tenure has seen Cardiff City Football Club develop from a standpoint of Championship stability through to becoming regular promotion contenders, while also having taken the team to an FA Cup Final. "His efforts in the recruitment and development of players also meant that the sale of these players at times enabled the Club to survive. He has also had a significant contribution in the development of training facilities and the stadium during his Cardiff City career. We thank him for all that he has done and achieved with the Club and wish him well for the future."
