New manager speculation / rumours thread

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

Judging by the videos doing the rounds of the Welsh players last night calling Ramsey “Gaffer”, I’m sure we’ll be put out of our (or into depending on your own view) misery in the next couple of days.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the board aren’t keen on Ramsey but everyone they prefer has turned the job down.

The club would have taken applications and done interviews by all accounts. You would assume said candidates are interested.

I don't know what's going on, as said above, they just dither about.

I agree unless something really put them off during the interview process. The danger with us having so many ex managers is that any prospective candidate could call them up and ask what it’s like working for VT. I imagine the references weren’t good ones.

It strikes me that we have got to such a state as a club that respected posters like you are willing to considering believing the Sun - that is how bad our club is at not communicating or dare I say it sorting a managerial appointment out ��

The Sun have been right before and will be plenty of times again, but the point is that Thursday night it was supposed to be all done and dusted and now it doesn’t look as clear cut - it’s not so much whether Ramsey goes to Mexico or not, more where does it leave us if, for whatever reason, we cannot agree a deal with him?

The word on social media is that Ramsey and the club are a long way apart on wages - they let it be leaked that Tan is willing to pay Ł5 million in compensation over a period of time to get Jones,, yet it seems we’re trying to get Ramsey on the cheap. Warnock made some very good free signings in the summer of 2017, but, surely, one lesson Tan should have learned by now is that City don’t tend to prosper when we try to cut corners financially.

What a shock eh? Who could possibly turn down such an opportunity to work for Vincent Tan…..odd

Would have thought it was pretty obvious.

Re: New manager speculation / rumours thread

I don't get the mexican link for Ramsey, wasn't part of the stated lure of coming back to Cardiff was that he could be closer to his young family. Or were they not even living here? I maybe misremembering.

I'd imagine he could get a playing contract somewhere closer than Mexico. Would that distance be good for any WC prep. I know Bale did it but it didn't make a lot of sense other than the lifestyle.

Maybe he just really likes the food.

It's where the next world cup is. I imagine he'll mention that in his press conference.
