Former Coventry City midfielder Terry Yorath has backed fellow former Coventry City player David Jones to continue as manager of Cardiff City.

Yorath, who was at City from 1976-1979 and left Highfield Road just before Jones arrived from Everton, told BBC Wales The Back Page Programme: "I don't think anybody could have done a better job than Dave has done.

"But I have to say, I've been to Leeds United a lot this year and the three best teams that played at Leeds were Norwich, Cardiff and Swansea.

"I don't think Dave has anything to be... ashamed is too much of a word of it, but he hasn't got to be reprimanded for taking them so close.

"I just think the club needs stability. I understand, being a Cardiff boy myself, that some of the crowd don't like him.

"Perhaps he doesn't express himself in a flamboyant way, but that's his way of management and I think they should keep him."
