Cardiff boss flattered by West Ham link

But Jones insists he is fully focussed on his job at Cardiff.

“You’re always going to get speculation and I can’t stop it,” he told BBC Sport.

“It is always nice to be linked with somewhere else as it means you must be doing something right.

“Some people say you’re good enough, some people say you’re not. What will be, will be. If you get to the play-offs and don’t get promoted then all of a sudden you’re not a good manager and you need to be gone or have taken the club as far as you can.

“Somebody will have an opinion about you but I’ll just do my job. And everyone here is focused on what is going on here.”
