It would seem the rumour surrounding Dave Jones and Celtic has come via a comment made by ex-Celtic player Frank McAvennie when interview on BBC radio today over the vacancy, "Dave Jones from Cardiff has been flung in.
"Dave Jones is experienced.
"Celtic need someone with experience and knows how to handle the Press and the players."
"But Jones knows of the pressure that comes with a job like Celtic."
The Scottish press have not named the City boss in the list of contenders. The Cardiff City boss Jones was quizzed over the rumour when talking to BBC Sport Wales, "I haven't heard anything and I'm just concentrating on here as I always do.
"It's nice that you get linked with other things.
"It's an appreciation of what you're doing but I haven't done anything at this moment in time here, so I'm trying to get it done now - trying to get to a position where this club's never been."
It is hard to believe but Jones is the Championship's longest-serving manager having been in the job almost five years, just goes to show the turnout in managers in Championship league. He could be tempted with a job offer in the summer if the club fail with the quest of promotion. No promotion could see the break-up of his squad in the summer with players being sold to boost the club cash flow unless there is more money coming from the Malaysians.
Cardiff has fought off interest in Jones before and did so successfully although he was rumoured to be close to a deal with West Brom. Funny enough only last summer he was again linked with the Baggies after their boss Tony Mowbray joined Celtic.
