Interesting he attributes a lot to Len Ashurst.

Talking of interviews I was just listening to an old interview of Ken dodd on Radio 4 X
The audience were all laughing and at one question he said, "no this is seriousm don't laugh please!""
The all alughed and he said "no don't laugh, come on. you've done well so far!"
bloody great manager for Cardiff city
Disappointed at some of the negative comments....Look ...hey...he is a genuine person who relishes challenges and loves the game.....even when he doesn't need them. I wish him well...except when we play them...
I give him credit for arriving, turning the team around and getting us promoted but, for me, some of the negative aspects of his spell here cancel that out.
He was good manager for City not a great one. One promotion, one relegation. Compare that to Mackay (who i am not a fan of), playoffs and League Cup Finalists 1st year, then promoted 2nd year, as Champions.
Reading that article, it seems he is still all about me. I never liked him before he came to us, but he won me over. Until on the balcony after we got promoted he started spouting all the "When I think where this club was before I got here.." bullshit. Then he got us relegated, but apparently that wasn't his fault. I hope they get relegated.
We have had other managers who got us promoted in my time, Andrews, Ashurst, Burrows etc. But the best for me was Scoular with a really good team and those European nights. Jones was excellent too but like Scoular couldn't get us up. Even Slade got us to 7th or 8th in his only full season.
I find it sad that people need to degenerate....of course they are going to 'big up' their achievements..but he is a really genuine person who wears their heart on their sleeves.... give him some credit please...
I have seen so many managers...from Bill Jones...to George Swindin etc etc...for me the standout one was Scoular....wow...those european nights.....exciting times.....Dave Jones also deserves credit for what he did with limited resources.
I think he's a credit to the world of football , at 71 it makes that even more remarkable, and he's not finished yet.
I loved his time with us, I felt he brought the club/ream back , created a betrer emotion / atmosphere and togetherness to the overall benefit of the game and club .
He'd rock up at small fan venues in and around the valley's that was so well received and appreciated.
Rock on Neil .
To be fair, Jones signed McNaughton, Rae, McPhai and Burke for nothing. He got Loovens for £300k and sold him for £2.5m, he signed Johnson for £275k and sold him for £5m/ He also brought in Capaldi, Kennedy of frees, Bothroyd for £300k, McCormack for £120k, and Chopra for £500k and sold him for £5m after a year (an then bought him back for £4m!). Je got Koumas and Bellamy on loan too.
Warnock signed Flint for £4m, Smithies for £3.5m, but he did get Etheridge, Bamba, Holiett and NML for nothing. Not forgetting 2 years wasted on Tomlin at £1.6m, Pack for ?, Murphy for £11m, Reid and didn't play him for £10m, Bacuna for £3m, Whyte for £2m, Glatzel for £5.5m, Vassell for £2m, Ward for £1m,Bogle for £750,000. Oh and Madine for £6m.
One has a good transfer record and one doesn't. Not difficult to work one which one is which.
But there again Scoular brought in Fred Davies, Dave Carver, Gary Bell, Mel Sutton, Brian Harris, Barrie Jones, Les Lea, Ian Gibson, Brian Clark and Bobby Woodruff.
I'd rather read a good discussion about tomorrow than about yesterday.
