Jones is looking for a return to management, and wants to build a team long term.
If available would you like him here or stick with Lamouchi?

Has to be Jones surely.
I know he wasn’t taken to by Stoke…but they had a team of egos there as did Southampton.
If we want a true change…give him the reigns to build and mould a team from scratch.
I assume the teams he built with Luton were with limited resources.
On balance, Lamouchi.
There have been some odd selections (presumably based on training performances) and an unwillingness to use subs, but a lot of what Lamouchi has brought has been very good. He is experienced, flexible tactically, honest, calm and articulate - and the high opinion in him of Forest fans is a major factor. I know he hasn't got a better points return than Morison or Hudson - but he has had much less time to get to know the squad (none of them his signings) and the end of season dynamics are different. I think he knows what he is doing, has a plan, and even with the partial transfer ban will improve the squad over the summer using his European and African contacts alongside the club's own impressive loans team. I like the emerging double act with Sol too.
Nathan Jones clearly has passion, a love of Cardiff and a very impressive record with very little money at Luton. But he has failed in his other jobs and seems unhinged at times. I can see Lamouchi managing up at Cardiff; not Jones.
What about Wilder? He was the dream manager for some not long ago - but after Boro and Watford the shine has come right off and now he is favourite for League One Reading.
I'm sure Lamouchi will be confirmed as manager, but any of the possible options are a mix of good, bad and indifferent.

Lamouchi has done ok but some weird selections and tactics. Not 100% on him
Jones showed that he has some issues. He can’t deal with the pressure and not 100% on him either.
Out of the two id like to try Jones

Lamouchi did a good job, considering we literally couldn't score.
If he wants to pay 433 or any variant, I'd steer well clear. We don''t have the players and we can't overhaul the squad.
We can stay up with Lamouchi, we can do it by being physical and direct, while using the ball when we get it in their half. The playing style can develop over time when we sign better players but we made such a pig's ear of the last window we've been backed into a corner.
Re JRH, I would love Mowbray but think there's a decent chance they'll go up. They're on fire.

Both Lamouchi and Jones want to build a team long term it seems - what evidence is there that they would get that chance at Cardiff?
If the choice was just Lamouchi and Jones, I’d just go for the latter, but the fact that he hasn’t proved that he can manage anywhere else butLuton is a concern.

I only watch games on T.V, so do not see anything (communication, movement etc.) other than what's shown in the rectangle of the TV, Lamouchi if his job was to keep the club in the championship has obviously succeeded, if his role was more than that e.g. to improve the squad he inherited then I don't think he did that, for much of his time here starting games inc. after the half time break, the players seemed oblivious to the task ahead with ponderous play, tapping it around the back four before the inevitable lump it up the field for the majority of the time, there was some good football and goals as well but too infrequent, I'd be looking to move on from Lamouchi whilst thanking him for Job done.

For me its Sab. Anything else just drags on the air of uncertainty that surrounds us. We are going to be totally reliant on the contacts and networking of whom ever gets the job. For me Sab wins this hands down.
Nothing against Jones but the whole scenario is just set up to make us an even bigger basket case than we already are.
We can't afford to have another season of throwing caution to the wind. We have to have stability, we have to have a calm and progressive management team. Thats Sab and Sol. Morison situation again? No thanks.

Think for the sake of our sanity the club has to stick with Lamouchi. May not have had a great start but he got us over the line, is an experienced manager and hopefully, given the summer can bring in some of his own picks and weld a decent team together.

Why cant we play 4 3 3 or a variant?
We are going to need 5 or 6 new signings who are good enough to go straight in the starting line up.
The squad needs a overhaul. Thanks to Morison we cant ship out some players who we are now stuck with until their contracts are run down.
However we should do all we can to release them and maybe look at seeing if we can get some of the average signings out to free up squad places.
Id be looking at keeping Ng Macguiness Collins Wintle Ralls Colwill Robinson Etete Davies O Dowda.
The rest id be more than happy to see go on frees.

We should give the job to the up and coming veteran of football manage Vinny Tan, he has some weird tactics but that would suit the championship / League 1 level. He talks a good game and some of his ideas are so unique no one else has thought of them yet - the shoot more policy...
In all seriousness though - Lamouchie deserves a crack at it for a season or 2

We haven't got the players to play 433. We haven't got any creativity in the middle, so you need at least 2 there. We don't have any fit left backs, so you need 2 until Collins comes back. We have only got 2 good wingers (COD and Robinson), so we need 2 there and a striker, I'd say we'd need 2 as Etete isn't ready yet. We need a right back, and a centre back, and at least 1 centre forward. That's 11 to play 433.
If we can replace Kaba, Philogene and Kipre, and we can add 3 good players on top of them, we've done well. Stick with 352 for the time being. Please!

Anyway, given the meeting between Lamouchi, Tan, Dalman and Choo has supposedly happened (per Wales Online - Glen Williams), and Vincent Tan is supposed to be flying back to Malaysia today, and there has been no club statement or announcement (or even a holding statement), what 'the other board' claims is almost certainly true, and based on simple deduction not ITK sources.
Glen Williams was also tweeting that there were a couple of Lamouchi free agent signings in the pipeline if a contract deal is done.

It isn’t much of a choice, but to start all over again with a manager who doesn’t know the players or the clubs inner workings is the last thing we need, unless it’s someone really exciting.
People get excited because Jones is apparently a Cardiff City fan. On the other hand, he looks like damaged goods, so we’d look nuts as well if we got him. That would be very Cardiff City, wouldn’t it. You can just imagine Dalman’s Sh-t eating grin and quotes like “we’ve got the man we always wanted”, “Vincent’s over the moon” etc etc and then the return of hoofball…

Agree with this.
Our circumstances at the moment are more similar to what he has faced at Luton than at Southampton or Stoke.
I could be wrong, but he would more likely to sign players with long term prospects for us than Sabri. Sabri's signings at Forest were poor at best. That is, of course, if new player signings are actually down to the Manager.

Nathan Jones has been pilloried by many in the media for his time at Southampton, but he'd be my choice in the current CCFC 'climate'. I don't think Lamouchi is keen to work with scraps and free transfers from lower leagues, and if I remember rightly has a potential job to go to in June [?]

Yes, I’m pretty certain that was said when Lamouchi joined us - must admit, I thought he would have been appointed by now. I could start theorising about why that’s not the case (most of it would not paint City in the best of lights), but it’s still a bit early to do that - I reckon something will have gone wrong if we’ve still not heard something by Friday mind.

Lamouchi turned us from a club who were in 21st position when he joined into a club that finished in 21st position thanks to a points deduction elsewhere. We were 1 point better off under him when looking at points averages than before. While we scored more goals we were also far more fragile at the back, even with the return of McGuinness.
I don't see any positives in him being appointed long term, not if we're still going to be scrounging out of the bins for players.

We went on a run of 20 points in 13 games under him after losing our first 3. I'd classify that run as a positive.
He can keep us up. They'd not won in 3 months when he came in and we pretty much walked it by the end.

15-05-23, 10:21
Walked it due to a points deduction. We can argue until we are blue in the face about whether we would have got points vs Huddersfield or Burnley if the season was actually on the line, but he put a first team lineup out there both games in what you assume was an attempt to win and we weren’t at the races.
I’d certainly trust Jones to build a functioning team at this level out of frees and youth team players given his experience with Luton but given that there would be no patience at board level or the fan base if he had a rough first few months, I wonder if there’s even a point. There’s some value in continuity with Lamouchi but then the club even seems to be wasting that with the delay in getting him under an extension. Can’t help thinking neither options are particularly exciting with the situation we are in.

I think that's a bit of a clutching at straws positive.
Things were either good or shit under Lamouchi. 6 wins in 18 - decent enough, particularly as 5 of those were by more than one goal. 10 defeats in 18 - poor. Only QPR lost more of their last 18 games and only 3 sides conceded more goals than us in their last 18 games. Of all the teams that had been in relegation danger for the last few months, only Blackpool had a worse record than us from the moment Lamouchi was appointed.

He came in, took him 3 games to work out what to do (which was fair enough given he got appointed days before the first one), we didn't have a centre forward and then we went on a good run. We are 12th in the last 15 games. I don't care we shipped a few goals, we at least starting scoring goals ourselves. It sh*t or bust when he came in, we had to find a way to score some goals and we did.
Our team has no creativity, few goal threats, it didn't have a single first team left back and our best attacker got injured in February. The team was going down. We didn't go down under Sabri. I don't care what the stats say, you can write off his first few games as he didn't even meet them, and then the last 2 we were on the beach.
The team is dire, it needs major surgery. There are so many holes in it, to get 6 wins is impressive. Of course I have reservations about him but he is managing us, so we are bound to think that.

Part truth probably. I think in all likelihood weve told him we want him to stay but no contract or anything in writing.
It will probably turn into another shambles.
I seen a few articles mocking Nathan Jones for his comments on sky over the play offs. I thought his ramblings when at Southampton was bad enough.
I think him apparently being a city fan would last a few games before he was ridiculed for the nonsense he spouts, he certainly thinks a lot of himself. Not many fans of former clubs who like him though. Some Luton fans saying he abandoned them twice and the others he was awful at. Luton seem to have gone up a level since he left though.

Hatd to decide both completely different and both a gamble in different ways.

You always pass these things off as either ors. Give me a reason why we couldn't find a better manager than Lamouchi, who has good contacts in the footballing world and is able to build a side that would at least be competitive in this division? You seem to think that's impossible.

He probably thinks it's almost impossible for Dalman too, and based on his last few selections I would agree.

I think any opinion of Lamouchi is likely to be based on how good or bad you perceive the players, and results/performances compared with other managers.
It's worth noting that we were never in the bottom 3 under Hudson, though we all acknowledge he was a crap manager. Under Hudson we won 18 points out of 18 games, mainly by keeping a tight defence, even if it meant not threatening at the other end. Only once under Hudson did we concede 3 or more.
I think we can acknowledge that Sory Kaba's goals were a big factor in us staying up. Lamouchi managed a mere 2 more points than the useless Hudson, all with a star striker. You may not care less but I find our defensive stats under Lamouchi alarming and it doesn't fill me with any confidence, particularly as we were all clamouring for the excellent McGuinness to come back.
Some of the performances at home under Lamouchi were even more dire than under his predecessors.
If this is mainly the fault of the players, it's difficult to argue that Lamouchi has been a big improvement on Hudson as, statistically, he hasn't really been.

He's not the saviour but it's incredibly stupid , in the absence of anyone better banging down the door , to be poncing about on here worrying about trying to find that manager
I don't think he exists to be Frank

We havnt got any money , we are about as attractive as a night out in Ebbw Vale
Our current squad is bottom 4 quality
Anyone wanting this job needs sectioning so if lamouchi wants it .....give it to him

Neither will succeed here unless backed by Tan and his increasingly tight wallet. Too big of a hole to get out of now.
Was going to say Wilder until I came across this article: https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/chris-wilders-sheffield-united-signings-22153059
A lot of misses in there!

I would wager none of those managers would have done better that lamouchi with the squad he was given
I would wager Robins (especially), Edwards and Carrick would, I accept it might take the other three a bit longer. Lamouchi's record as a manager tends to show him having a strong early impact which then is not maintained (e.g. Forest and Rennes) - if he runs true to form, we've seen the best of him already.

Jones is looking for a return to management, and wants to build a team long term.
If available would you like him here or stick with Lamouchi?
I'd stick with Lamouchi for two reasons. Firstly stability is what is needed at the club not another chop n' change, secondly I am hoping he can unearth some gems from Europe or Africa.

Yep , stability
Someone else comes in , another 19 nervous breakdowns till we escape the threat of relegation , again

Robins record ?
We are not going to get a young up and coming manager , we are not an attractive club to manage
Quite frankly if lamouchi offers his services we should open the door as we are not in a position to haggle
Ive seen a few mention Lamouchi and getting gems from Europe and Africa. Has he got a track record of doing this? Despite him being our manager for a few months I dont know much about him or his signings for Forest.

I sense that we need a thread on other potential managers.
The silence from the club is deafening.

Sol , followed by Purse then do we get Warnock to rescue us next January when we are down the bottom.

Glen Williams has said Tan didn't offer Lamouchi a new deal.
We need a new manager, again.

Warnock would have done better short term, he did so at Huddersfield.

Surely we must have someone lined up to come in if we’ve decided not to go with Lamouchi?
It could turn out to be a disastrous decision, but I won’t be able to be too critical if it does go that way as I’ve been a bit meh about appointing him all along.

OH God, he'll probably give it to Bamba or some other novice that has never managed!
In that case, I'd like to see Nathan Jones given a go, I doubt they will and I'd expect the board to get it wrong and for us to get relegated, but lets see!

Wouldn't want him now, but would have got us safer sooner as a fire-fighting relegation avoider.

I have a feeling you know the answer to your own question ToBW.
Nothing this regime has done suggests good planning. Both football-related and off the pitch.
