West Ham United co-owner David Gold have revealed there has been no move to bring Cardiff City manager Dave Jones to the Upton Park.

The Hammers are currently without a manager after sacking Avram Grant following their 3-2 defeat to Wigan Athletic which sent them down to the Championship.

Reports suggest that Jones manager was on the Hammers’ radar after Cardiff lost to Reading in the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League.

But David Gold revealed via Twitter that no such move has been made.

“Despite what you may have read in the papers, we have not spoken to Dave Jones,” Gold said.

Jones has also appeared to rule himself out of the running, telling the East London Advertiser: “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.”

Chris Hughton and Sam Allardyce have also been linked with the vacancy.
