    No. And to add to that Mike Flynn wasn't anywhere near appointment, though he was of interest, as suggested elsewhere.
    I saw that comment to and didn’t believe it either.

    Rumours posted as fact again I’m afraid.

      No, he'd have taken it if it was offered

          Discounting Ciaran Brown, who will be 24 years-old in January and had already established himself as a first team squad member last season, seven of City's young players have started Championship matches during the current campaign. They are:

          Joel Bagan (20), Sam Bowen (20), Rubin Colwill (19), Kieron Evans (19), Mark Harris (22), Mark McGuinness (20) and Tom Sang (22).

          The following highlights the number of those youngsters who have started in each of City's 17 league games so far this season:

          1-1 v Barnsley (H) - 2 (JB and MM)
          2-0 v Blackpool (A) - 1 (JB)
          2-2 v Peterborough (A) - 1 (JB)
          3-1 v Millwall (H) - 4 (JB, TS, RC and MH)
          1-2 v Bristol City (H) - 2 (JB and TS)
          2-1 v Nottingham Forest (A) - 3 (JB, SB and MH)
          0-1 v Coventry (A) - 3 (JB, RC and MH)
          0-1 v Bournemouth (H) - 2 (TS and MH)
          1-5 v Blackburn (A) - 2 (JB and RC)
          0-4 v West Brom (H) - 1 (MM)
          0-1 v Reading (H) - 2 (MM and SB)
          0-3 v Swansea (A) - 1 (MM)
          0-2 v Fulham (A) - 4 (JB, MM, SB and RC)
          0-2 v Middlesbrough (H) - 3 (MM, RC and MH)
          3-3 v Stoke City (A) - 3 (MM, RC and KE)
          0-1 v QPR (H) - 3 (MM, RC and KE)
          2-1 v Huddersfield (H) - 2 (MM and MH)

          I think the perception that Steve Morison is giving the young players more of a chance than Mick McCarthy did has come about because the style of play has altered, which suits most of them better, and the fact that several have made significant marks during the last three games (Colwill and Harris scoring at Stoke, and Isaak Davies providing the cross for Kieffer Moore's winner against Huddersfield).

          However, while McCarthy can be rightly accused of many mistakes during his time at Cardiff, I don't think under-using the youngsters is one of them.

          As I've said previously, while the current crop of young players are clearly promising and it's great to see them involved in the first team, I firmly believe the talk of a 'golden generation' is premature and a bit silly under the circumstances.
          For me, this is the most important factor. MM may have put a few youngsters in the team, but did he really give them a chance?
          Morison is giving them the opportunity to play to their strengths and have an impact on the side. MM just sent them out to be slaughtered.

            Interesting (at least I think so) that Morison started with just two of the youngsters in the one game he’s won. That’s fewer than McCarthy fielded in either of his last two games.
