Jones nominated for Manager of the Month Award

After winning it last October City went on to lose three of the first four games played in November.

The Award seems to bring a curse with it where the winning manager has a mare the next month.

Jones is competing with Swansea's Robert Martinez, Jim Magilton of Ipswich and Paulo Sousa of Q.P.R.

Cardiff's record during the month is 3 wins and 2 draws. Both Q.P.R. and Ipswich have lost a game. Swansea with 5 wins and 1 draw including a win at Premier League Portsmouth makes them clear favourites to win.

The winner will be announced on Thursday.
