Jones is quoted by the East London Advertiser as saying:  "I have not had any contact with them over the job. "I am not prepared to say anything about the vacancy.

"I am still employed by Cardiff City and only thinking of them. "I will be sitting down with the board at Cardiff and discussing my future with them soon."
