Jones turns up the heat on Ridsdale; Ninian files Bluebirds diary with Terry Phillips.

Byline: Terry Phillips

DAVE Jones cranked up the pressure on Cardiff City chairman Peter Ridsdale on the way back from Reading.

Manager Jones, who is keen to bring in a couple of loan players, drove his own car back along the M4 and threatened Ridsdale - with an ejector seat exit!

"The chairman had to sit next to me all the way back and I worked on forcing his hand," said Jones.

"I had the ejector seat button ready in case he said no."

City certainly need a striker in now that Ross McCormack's return has been delayed by probably two weeks.

Jones would love to sign a Premier targetman on loan, plus a second loanee to operate just off a big man.
