I listened to the audio, JB clearly loves the club and everything about it. What he didn't do is suggest that he'd be prepared to drop down two divisions, which is not to suggest that Clough couldn't persuade him if he became available.
There's a definite feeling that he is deeply appreciative of how the players have made him feel like one of their own, plus the fact that the fans have embraced him all adds to the feeling he has for the club. More than once he commented on the length of his contract with Cardiff, implying that they have the upper hand in where his future might lie.
We'll all interpret what JB had to say in whatever way suits us, but while he was cagey about the future there weren't any negatives that crept into the possibility of returning here. That was about it, he loves the place, the players, goes without saying that he and Nigel have a special bond, and you sense that unless there's a u-turn in attitude from Cardiff he wouldn't want to spend any more time there than he has to.......oh, and he did mention that it is a privilege to wear the red and white of united, good lad John.
As
JohnDenver said, the best loan at this club since Glynn Hodges, and we'd take him like a shot if he were free to come here, that's how good he is UTB
