Re: Offer made to Barry-Murphy

"Cardiff City have offered the manager’s job to Brian Barry-Murphy but are waiting on Leicester City to release him from his contract at the King Power Stadium, WalesOnline has learned.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s high-rated number two is still tied up with the Foxes.

Sources close to Leicester indicate that is the reason for the delay as Cardiff finally seek to put their management search to bed.

The two clubs are said to be in conversations to try to resolve the issue, with Vincent Tan’s Bluebirds keen to get Barry-Murphy into the role as quickly as possible.

Cardiff’s manager hunt has dragged on since the end of the season, but Leicester need to sanction Barry-Murphy’s release before an official announcement can be made by Wales’ capital city club.

...

Plymouth are also keen on landing Barry-Murphy, but we understand he is excited by the prospect of unlocking the huge potential at Cardiff and has accepted the offer to come to Wales.

First, however, Leicester need to agree to his exit, with Cardiff keen to make the formal announcement."

Re: Offer made to Barry-Murphy

Shouldn't have to pay too much to secure the release of an assistant manager should you?

Re: Offer made to Barry-Murphy

I wonder if the delay is because the management team at Leicester could be sacked and are holding out for a pay out.

Good point.

The wording of the WOL article is strange: that the club have ‘asked’ BBM to become manager. It makes the club sound even more desperate….

This whole process has been underwhelming beyond belief.

Anyone know how long Barry-Murphy’s contract at Leicester was for? However, long it is though, any compensation we pay will surely be less than what we were willing to pay for Nathan Jones.

We shouldn't pay anything they are all about to be sacked.

Re: Offer made to Barry-Murphy

I recall Van Nistlerooy saying his contract was up at the end of June so I guess the manager coaching team is the same.

I had it in the back of my mind that contracts were up at the end of the month as well - can’t think from where though.

I like to think this could be a really good move. I hope it comes off.

Anyone buying a shirt with his name on the back? Need a loan for the letters.

Re: Offer made to Barry-Murphy

I agree. The whole process has been cringeworthy. If BBM is the choice, we're placing our faith in a young "manager" with little experience in his own right. Could be a masterstroke, however I remain underwhelmed too.

Brian Barry-Murphy's Barmy Army.........hardly rolls off the tongue easily, does it?

Unfortunately that team finished 18th with 36 points and with a goal difference of -18 (from 34 games only due to the league being suspended)

the following season they were relegated.

He has comfortably the worst managerial record of any of the people we've interviewed (Ramsey aside).

I suspect that the Brian would be dispensed with.
