Re: Mehmet Dalman plays the "plucky little Cardiff City" card.
You’d hope they had a shortlist already.
Why if Warnock ****s off by November when he realises we’re headed for mid table? (Not saying we will be headed for mid table it’s a what if..before the usuals start)
-
Re: Mehmet Dalman plays the "plucky little Cardiff City" card.
What worries me is that Warnock will be involved in choosing his successor? We'll probably end up with Kevin Blackwell!
Mind you it could all juts be paper talk, and he saying the usual trite stuff that Chairmen are supposed to say.

"Gavin Whyte looks exciting" and Glatzel trains hard. Everything is OK then? I'd train hard if I was on his money.

I think we also miss them because they're Gunnar and Manga, two massive presences in the dressing room. It is a bit odd he's come out and said that, although I do agree with him as I'm a big Manga fan. He also seems like a lovely bloke.

Re: Mehmet Dalman plays the "plucky little Cardiff City" card.
It's clear that the club are living within its means, that's fine. However there are questions that rise out of this.
Last year, our attendance was the 13th best in the football pyramid, around 2 and a half times greater than our last season at Ninian park. Even after relegation it is currently 24th. Is that not worth some greater investment to try and produce a club that are Premier League regulars? There appears to be no building on promotion from just over a year ago. For so many businessmen to be on the board, how come this is the case? Surely one key to any successful business is forward planning.

I’m paraphrasing, but by your own admission you’re not really a football fan. You live close to a number of PL teams and even once lived just 200 yards from the Nou Camp but you have no interest in football in general... it’s just Cardiff City for you.
That’s admirable, but indulge me here and let me know which other clubs supporters message boards you visit every now and then.

Re: Mehmet Dalman plays the "plucky little Cardiff City" card.
Same old people clogging the manager, club and chairman again. This thread is a golden example of what I have been on about. Now its confirmed that VT and Dalman read it, it will only get worse as these people, who dislike the club, look for their minute of glory to make themselves feel important and feed their ego’s. Its embarrassing and I am obviously not the only person who now thinks so. Cue personal insults .....

You’re entitled to your views on a message board, as much as anyone criticising the team, manager or senior management are. If any of the City board do read this message board and are offended by any posts criticising( I doubt they do or are), then for me, they’re in the wrong job.

I pay good money every year to watch this club and I am entitled to criticise what I see if it's required. Why you feel the need to have unwavering "loyalty" as you call it, is bizarre.

You are spot on.
I doubt they care, they have thick skin and probably laugh most of it off.

Multimedia is the future of the internet, and it's much better than reading text that lacks proper puntuation!

Re: Mehmet Dalman plays the "plucky little Cardiff City" card.
Surely it’s important to speak out if we feel that things are not right at the club?
It’s draconian to expect us all to follow like sheep - somewhat reminiscent of the political landscape, but that’s another discussion...

Last season, Bouremouth had an average attendance of 11,000 and Leeds had an average attendance of 34,000.

Indeed. Bournemouth have had a great deal of investment.

Yeah, and of course the fact that they've got a bit of experience and education means that they know how to reference it to something.

Besides the jacks and fans of other teams, there is not one person who posts on here that hates the club. Stop repeating the same self-serving lies.
Just because you've spent your whole life afraid to speak out, doesn't mean the rest of us have to. What's embarrassing here is your blind acceptance of second best. It's pathetic.

In the event, Murphy and Bacuna are playing regularly and Smithies is playing by default because Etheridge is injured, while Reid and Cunningham have been loaned out to other Championship teams. It's a bit of a mess.
Yep ... that’s what I alluded too in the sentence after the part of my post you highlighted

What I was getting at is the expectation levels are possibly higher based on last season's transfer activity. Many fans appeared to give the club a pass last year, believing that signings would make the team that much stronger in the Championship in the event of relegation. It turns out two of them have been shipped out to other Championship clubs and those that remain are not exactly pulling up any trees.
