Seeing as the last two managerial appointments have been considerably less than inspired I have to say that for once I am pleased at the way that the club has acted over the last few days: decisively, positively and pragmatically. Not something that I associate with Cardiff City at all!

Whereas Colin will not be everyone's choice, he is clearly the type of manager that we need at this point in time, and the club moved quickly (in the right direction for once!) to address what was becoming a serious issue.

I wish Colin all the very best, like every City manager.

PS I happened to hear Colin interviewed on the Danny Baker Sat morning show on 5 Live recently and he came across pretty well. It is worth downloading the podcast to hear it.
