Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

Don’t think he would be naming names unless he had been given permission to do so by the likes of Mehmet Dalman.

Why has Brian Barry Murphy just shot up to evens with the bookies?

looks like a Riza type of appointment, has been a coach at Leicester, though looks like he did well at Man City EDS, though Dai Hunt would have coped with the players he had, they really do have the best players and the deepest pool of them best players , but I guess people have to start the managerial journey somewhere

Personally I wouldn't be taking a punt on someone whose biggest achievement is at academy level.

Abbodanato says he's on the shortlist.

Brian Barry Murphy's managerial record (at Rochdale) was:

P 109 ... W 34 ...D 28 ... L 47 ... 31.2%

Including relegation to league 2. That said, from what I've read they'd done well to stay up the previous couple of seasons.

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

Brian Barry-Murphy was touted for the Cardiff manager's job a few years ago when he had just left Rochdale.

At the time I preferred him to any of the other options on the bookies lists.

He seemed to be a top coach - but with a short and mixed managerial career. A gamble.

He is even more of a gamble for us in the position we are now in. Any appointment will be a gamble but - although it could work out - I want Tan to opt for someone with experience of the fight we are facing to get back to the Championship, and a record that gives us some confidence he knows what he is doing!

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

The fact that the 3 (or 4) candidates on the final short list have clearly been interviewed and now recommended to VT indicates that wellens and jones are not included - as preparing for play off final. Could be wrong but doubt it. Hugely disappointing for me. I was really hoping that we would go and get whichever one lost and that was why the process was slower than some would have liked. But looks like money is talking again and another cheap option is incoming. Still hope I’m pleasantly surprised - but doubt it.

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

Brian Barry-Murphy from nowhere is odds on fav. Never heard of him. Ramsey 2nd fav. Evatt and Buckingham drifting to 8-1.

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

Barry-Murphy has drifted slightly in the betting. Did go to 1-2 , Now evens. Bit of money on Buckingham and hes 5-1 now Ramsey 6-1 Evatt 8-1.

The betting is probably changing to flutters of bets and in the know wannabes with daft my mate knows blah blah blah and hes got the job rumours.

Looks though that no decision is made and it's a wide open battle between out of work managers.

Think all four he names are pretty good candidates, who’s the “outsider” I wonder?

Do you follow his tweets?

He does this all the time. Names a few obvious names or targets then caveats with he also understands there are some outsiders and names who haven't been mentioned who it could be also.

Think that's all bases covered for him there!

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

No mention of Osian Roberts !

Perfect with Ramsey as his helper

I think it’s been pretty obvious over the past two or three years that Paul Abbandonato has been fed information by someone high up at the club. I believe that those four names are on the list of names Tan has been given to consider.

Information is an interesting word to use.

He's clearly been used by someone yes. To spread Bullsh1t more than accurate information I believe though.
