Next Manager

Re: Next Manager

No way Bellers would take the job with his present health issues! He’s resigned from his coaching job in Holland. We need to replace Dalman with an experienced Director of Football and let him appoint our new Manager.

Dalman will go for Gary Neville or something insane like it….who was the bloke they employed after Ole?

It was Belgium (Anderlecht).

Are they playing or coaching?

Just ignoring what's in front of them.

Re: Next Manager

Chris wilder would be my choice he was willing to speak to Forest who are as much of a basket case as us but the committee will get a hoofball manager no other club would touch so expect Tony Pulis

Good call.

Re: Next Manager

Good call.

When Warnock was sacked we had a great opportunity to appoint a decent manager. Presently the club will only attract someone at the end of their career, desperate for a job, or someone from the lower leagues looking for the next step.
My opinion is that City will not budge with McCarthy until his contract is up then we will end up with another “basket case” appointment from the board with zero knowledge

Would that be a full house in ‘Hoofball Bingo’?

Steve morison 100%
the u23s play a lovely brand of football, and with so many of them coming into the first team he will at least know them well.

Personally think he was the right manager at the time

Imagine giving a football playing manager this squad - we would have sank like a stone.

He is doing crap but what is required. Bring through youth and allow the transition from our older players and ensure we stay in the league

yeah, we are t in a position to go up in this season or next, the most we can ask for is to stabilise in mid table and bring through some youngsters while we cycle out the high wage players.
I think Mick is doing basically that.
it's a bit of a come down from what we are used to bit it was always going to be the case.

Re: Next Manager

Would be surprised if Wilder came anywhere near us but would be the best we can hope for I think.

Yes Chris Wilder for me too. Very successful with both Northamton and Sheffield Utd. Best manager who might come here out there.

Re: Next Manager

Steve Morrison if we go down the inexperienced route. How's Gareth Ainsworth doing these days?

Re: Next Manager

I'm bored of Cockneys and Yorkshireman.

They always seem to be trying to project an image of hyper-masculine invincibility .

Like they are the leaders in some sort of medieval battle to the death.

Pearson and Dyche are another two (midlanders). Although Pearson seems to have wound his neck in a bit after his brush with Covid.


.........don't mind geordies, scousers and west-country people. Cumbrians are ok too.


We should probably be jumping on the next wave of top french or dutch managers....they seem to be due a golden era in shit hot football managers.

I will be a bit surprised if Mick McCarthy is shown the door. We are in a hole at the moment, but I expect him to be able to ensure safety and a season of youth experience on very little expenditure. I can't see a Top 6 push with the form of the team at the moment, but I don't fear relegation either. I didn't want Mick as manager (although like him as a person and a pundit) but he is no mug and I don't think he is as one dimensional as some are now saying.

However if he does go I can see no reason why the likes of Chris Wilder would not be interested in the job. There a handful of unemployed managers out there who hope and expect to walk into a Premier League, cash-rich Championship (parachute club) or Big Firm job. Most will be disappointed. The rest will be desperate for a club - and Cardiff despite the current austerity and youth strategy is a very attractive club. We have a solid and passionate fan base with room to grow, great facilities, and increasingly effective Academy, seem to be financially stable - albeit dependent on an owner who has continued to subsidise the club through thick and thin, a big modern stadium and a recent history of success.

I'm not sure Wilder is the answer if Mick departs, but I have no doubt he would like the chance. Unlike some he seems to be grounded and self-confident, and has done the hard yards in the lower leagues before his big success getting Sheff Utd to the top. Cardiff is an opportunity for someone like him (if not him).
