1. I don't think the Cardiff job is very appealing right now. 2. I don't think they'll pay compensation for a manager who has years left on his contract. 3. Having twice left for a 'better' job he failed miserably both times, so i think he'll be keen to stay where his job is secure. 4. He's signed half of his old mates from Luton so it'd be a bit much to up and leave them 2 months into the season.
Sounds like someone who supports Cardiff and is simply being polite about the role.
Sounded to me like someone who'd definitely want it but was also respectful about his current job given he'll probably not be offered it (and is a professional).

He'll re-sign them in January for Cardiff. Indeed that's why Dan Potts only signed a short term contract, to make the switch to Cardiff even easier
With Schumacher and Lowe without clubs and therefore, no compensation to be paid, I would imagine they would be higher on the list than Jones at this point.
Jones failed at his last two jobs because he couldn't get buy-in. The players he had weren't interested and when push came to shove the board chose to chuck him instead of them. At Charlton the board have backed him pretty substantially. He's won the battle with Scott, he's been allowed to bring in a lot of his trusted players, he's got the transfers he wanted and was even allowed to push out our POTY as they clashed. He acknowledged the buy-in he's had in that interview. Cardiff by all accounts have an ownership who have lost interest and wouldn't be interested in the backing needed to give Jones what he requires. I'm sure he'd like to manage Cardiff one day but it would be very odd if he left behind a situation perfectly suited to him in his efforts to build up his reputation again just to go into another doomed job. The Cardiff job will come around again but the amount of control and potential to progress he has at Charlton likely won't.

IF Cardiff approached us then we'd probably be obliged to tell Jones, then that would be interesting to see if he wanted to talk to them.

So quantity over quality...🤔
