    even the goalkeeper and manager now
    More good news, the wurzels have been beaten 2-0 by QPR this lunchtime which means we’re three points in front of them with a better goal difference and a game in hand.

            The DVP thread is a good read, with plenty of updates.

              Im pretty sure we have top place in the "Least first half goals" table too

              and we are currently just being held off top spot for goals conceded by those pesky Posh.

                2019 Super Eagles invitee Viv Solomon-Otabor remains on the hunt for a new club following his departure from Wigan Athletic in the summer.

                Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that the Birmingham City academy product was on the brink of joining Championship outfit Cardiff City this week but the deal has fallen through after the dismissal of Irish football tactician Mick McCarthy on Saturday.

                The Bluebirds hierarchy took the decision to relieve McCarthy of his duties following a poor run of results that saw them lose eight consecutive matches and the final straw was the defeat at home to Middlesbrough.

                Solomon-Otabor had been on trial at Cardiff City for the past two weeks and was told he was going to be signed on after impressing in training and a test game against Charlton Athletic in the Professional Development league.

                McCarthy had opened talks about signing the Nigerian before his dismissal and Cardiff City now claim that they don't have the money to get the deal done.

                The winger took only two minutes to open the scoring in the big win vs the Addicks U23s and provided an assist before subbing out at half-time.

                And against Ipswich Town U23s on Tuesday, he bagged another assist and came close to scoring but his free-kick hit the woodwork.

                Solomon-Otabor was named in Nigeria's matchday squad for a glamour friendly against Brazil in October 2019.

                      Cardiff City Football Club is pleased to announce David Hughes as its new Head of Academy.

                      David joined the Bluebirds last November as Head of Academy Coaching. In that role, and whilst overseeing duties as Head of Academy, David has managed significant progression in player and staff development across all age levels, whilst notably identifying players capable of stepping up to first-team level over the course of the past 12 months.

                      Speaking to cardiffcityfc.co.uk, David said: “It is a privilege to have been offered the role of Head of Academy at Cardiff City. The capacity to influence both staff and in particular young people as they look towards their futures is an area I feel very passionately about.

                      “The most crucial role that we have within the development programme is to teach and encourage learning. These are areas we will continue to promote within the Academy on a daily basis.

                      “I’d like to thank Tan Sri Vincent and the Board of Directors for placing their trust in me to manage our programme.”

                      Cardiff City FC Executive Director & CEO, Ken Choo, added: “I welcome the appointment of David as Cardiff City’s Head of Academy.

                      “David has, and will continue, to play a fundamental role in the Club’s efforts to develop our young players.

                      “I look forward to working with him and wish him the very best of luck in the role.”

                        CARDIFF CITY Academy Manager James McCarthy has left the club after more than two decades following the launch of an investigation into “non-recent allegations of bullying and poor practice”.

                          Didn't realise he was the same David Hughes we signed for too much money back in the basement tier, and then he immediately got injured.
