Jones will win it easily and deservedly so. Look at the teams Cardiff have already beaten. Merlin is doing a good job, but we have had a very easy start to the campaign. Not played a decent team yet, where as Cardiff have already locked horns with Albion, Leeds and Blues

Blues, Albion and (to an extent) Leeds have all got great squads on paper, but none have really proved they're good teams yet this season.
Albion and Leeds fans' want their managers sacked and Blues have scraped through with last minute goals from players borrowed off Arsenal after booing Bruce's tactics throughout 2 home matches.
Cardiff are a bit ahead of Wolves in team building, but we're doing ok.
Maybe next month...

If MM was manager of the season I'd be happier!

I think Jones will get it purely on the points Cardiff have accumulated, however you have to take your hat off to Merlin for turning things around in such a ridiculously short period of time. If Mick wins at some point this season I'll be happy as it obviously means we'll have had a good run of form.

Jones deserves it because they have had a tough game against Blues and won it. He's doing a very good job with limited funds.

1-3 Home loss to Preston on TV will mean MM will not win.

end of the month I guess - no chance McCarthy will get it. He lost to Preston publicly and his team were dumped out of a cup by Chesterfield.
Jones is a shoe-in.

Cardiff lost to Barnet in the cup but they are unbeaten in the league so DJ should win it.

Whether he wins or not (I say 'not' for this month) Merlin has got closer to the award than the highly paid footballing master (GH) ever got!

Mick McCarthy in July:
"My initials may be MM but its stands for Mick McCarthy not Merlin the Magician"
Warning us not to expect miracles overnight.
So far he was wrong :)

Wouldn't mind if Jones wins loads this season as long as we go up!!!!!! Getting carried away with our early season points tally as I am!

The so -called 'jinx' is a myth.
Its simply the case that if a manger wins 4 games on the bounce (as most MotM do) then its quite rare to do that two months in a row - hence the perception that a teams form drops after winning - it simply reflects the fact that its generally impossible to do better.

If we were actually managed by Merlin the Magician, I'd expect us to be higher than fifth. He did some pretty amazing things in his time, surely beating Preston wouldn't be beyond him?
