I could never really see why people thought Dave Jones was so miserable. He was a pragmatist doing a difficult job and he didn't play to the peanut gallery. I had no problem with it.
Miserable git , rarely thanked the fans for their support . He was paid well.Quote:

Has to be Scoular by a country mile.
He made Alex Ferguson Look like the life and soul of any party.
If you want proof just look at what auto correct throws up when we try and type his name, scowler !
The most miserable poster on here would be an interesting thread :-)
Phil “I’m to famous to talk to you” Neal
Booby “I don’t sign kids autograph books” Gould
Russell “you will watch Escape to Victory” Osman
Mick for me, really can't say I know anything more about him than before he joined.
I know we haven't been speed dating or anything but they usually give something away, win, lose or draw he was the same, said the same stuff.
Dont think his heart was ever in it and towards the end was actually looking for the pay off.
One was happiestQuote:

While not a Cardiff City manager, a few years ago Norwegian side Aalesund played Neath in a Europa league qualifier. I went down to the game at the Knoll, was in with the Aalesund fans (and a few Motherwell lads who made the trip). Spent half the time shouting abuse and doing the Ayatollah to Lee Trundle, who eventually told us all to F@ck off and gave us the V sign.
Anyway, after the game the Aalesund manager was in the bar in the Knoll, guy with the surname Rekdal, scored a winner against Brazil in the World Cup in 1998. His side had won 6-1 on aggregate so I went up to him to ask him what he thought. He was far from happy, kept moaning that they could have thrown the game away in the first half, I don't recall too much of the conversation after an afternoon enjoying Taffy Apples....
