Well, Dave Jones could be out of Cardiff soon, perhaps that's who he's waiting for.
Been given more time to turn things around at Cardiff today apparently.

Jewell has turned down Wigan becuase he thinks he get a better offer by waiting a bit. I don't think he sees Leicester as being a better prospect.
Paul Simpson is available now.
More our level really. He did do a good job with Carlisle and then Preston until they sold Nugent to Portsmouth, he doesn't seem to ever have had a penny to spend either. I suppose he's got to go in that list with Holloway, Cotteril, Newell, etc. labeled 'the managers we're morel ikely to end up with'
Preston's equivalent of Peter Taylor, took over a club that was punching well above its weight, tried to stamp his own mark on the club started well enough, only to start tailing off at the back end of the season, has had a decent wedge to spend bearing in mind the resources available.
Had lost the dressing room according to local sources.
Decent league 1 & 2 manager but IMO out of his depth at Championship level.

No wonder the players looked pissed off, had to get changed in the car park.
But he told BBC Radio 5 Live: "He made me an absolutely fantastic offer, an unbelievable offer, but I've had my time there.
"I'm ready to come back to work but I'm not for Wigan."
anyone who thinks Jewell has turned down Wigan for us is a nutter. fact.
Why, what future has wigan got, without a manager like Jewell they will be going down.
After this season our prospects will be the same as Wigans if not better.
Hello, been looking at this site for a while and have finally plucked up the courage to post!
I've just read this quote from Jewell on the Sky Sports News Website:
"I'm ready, I've had six months off. I've enjoyed my time off and now I'm ready to come back to work. I've had a couple of offers that were at the wrong time, now I might not get another offer, who knows?
"I will talk to anybody. It doesn't have to be in the Premier League, ideally it would be, I'm actually proud to work anywhere.
"I'm not saying which clubs I'm after, but any chairman who wants to call me who hasn't got a manager, I will speak to them. I'm interested in clubs that are ambitious. I'm an ambitious guy and I want to work at as high a level as I possibly can."
I'm not sure which other clubs he can be talking about?
