Is Dave Jones a man to fire up the fans? He's mentioned in most papers as our main target.
Yes, he's a decent man and manager, with a good record of getting Stockport promoted to the Championship and an FA Cup semi-final. He kept Southampton up and took Wolves into the Premiership, before getting relegated again. At Cardiff he reached the FA Cup Final and lost a play-off final last year and a play-off semi final this season, while working on very little money.
So yes, he's clearly good at working with limited resources, but there's also a lot of near misses.
He's good, and has done more in the English game than Grant, but surely not the talismanic manager we need to get bums on seats and ensure promotion.
