    And again, it’s the style he plays that annoys most people having a pop.

    This. Cooper's background guaranteed that he would at least try to play decent entertaining football. Harris' record seems to guarantee that he will produce the same dross we have suffered under Warnock and before him Slade. Five years of mostly stone age football and more to come.

    Cooper won the world cup at u17 level with England, which might not impress some but it shows he's cut from a completely different cloth than Harris.

    Well Cooper is much uglier than Harris anyway so there.

    My point seems to fly over most people’s heads. It’s been said by a few on here and it just doesn’t sink in...

    And lets remember, the Jacks sold any player worth any money before he arrived.
    We continue to be embarrassed by our West Wales cousins as they already have a style of play, a very good academy set up, so they carefully pick someone who can carry on the plan.
    By comparison, we are playing lower league style with no chance of bringing any youngster through.

    Plug was a cheap option for the Jacks and may eventually relegate them.

    We are the ones more likely to tumble through the leagues sooner or later.

    The majority of clubs our level (some who are far smaller than us ie Brentford) are evolving and staying ahead of the game in terms or recruitment and overall strategy yet we wander around in the darkness without a torch.

    Any hope I had of us ever changing under the present regime have finally been put to bed.

    Again no.

    Can u imagine if wed employed Cooper?
    Swansea despite trying havent sold all their players worth anything that is complete bollox.

    You seriously prefer the American hedge fund.??? They fail to go up. Which is probable and they have serious issues with out of contract players and loans leaving.

    What’s crap about that exactly? Don’t let the rivalry with them cloud your judgement. We have no one on the board who has a clue about football, they brought in Britton and Alan Curtis to aid them after Potter left and now look at them. We all laughed at how they were being ran into the ground when the Americans came in and yet they are still ran better than us.

    Generally the ones we got behind did well, except maybe Frankie Burrows on his second stint. Only one who defied the fans was Eddie May.

    Obviously not deemed good enough by other clubs who didn’t offer anything for them.

    Baston has hardly lit football up with goals has he, Roberts isn’t prem quality and Rodon has come good this year hasn’t he?

    We would never go for someone like Cooper in the same way that we would never go for someone like Martinez, Brendan or Potter.

    We are an anti football club with clueless people in charge.

    We have a fan base who will turn a blind eye to managers rinsing their club as long as they say that "Cardiff fans are the most passionate in the country blah blah" and do the odd fist pump!

    They tried to flog Ayew and couldn't get rid. He may well leave at Christmas now he has had an injury-free strong start to the season.

    Burrows won promotion in his first season on his second stint to be fair. Played some really good football also.

    But yes you are right overall- definitely add Trollope to that list!

    we were generally pleased about Dave jones malky and Warnock.

    I would say maybe we got ole wrong as after that first win at Newcastle most thought it was a decent appointment.

    Unfortunately we have the opposite track record of consistently appointing shit managers, with the exception of Colin, who's enthusiasm and man management initially outweighed his other deficiencies.

    They certainly were.
    JBs are notorious for their short memories like when they’re telling us to pay money for Sala yet forget their past. The phrase 5p in the pound is lost on a lot of them.
    They were dreading playing us a few weeks back and now everything is hunkydory.
