    Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

    I thought maybe some people would by now have picked up on the difference between a solid experienced professional manager like Sir Niel and a man lke NH with good ideas and ambition.
    It's been a hard road to where we are and this back sliding MUST be stopped before it becomes irreversible. That's the priority now and that's why we need someone like MM.
    That's realism. I'd love to see a flash monkey manager playing artistic football but after giving NH his head we've lost a lot of ground and if we're not careful we could soon be having our local derby's with Newport County.

    We can't even afford 3 or 4 games to pass without anyone in charge, so that's why we need a PROFESSIONAL now.

    Not quite as stark as it seems though. MM has got some great players and rescources at his disposal here which have been wasted
    ( with respect ) under NH. It's very likely that he can almost immediately use them to get results rather than near misses.

    Our players are as good as any team in the championship and if they're given a clear idea of what they're trying to do then that might be the missing ingredient. If we resist the fanciful ideas of what some inspiring figure like Craig B MIGHT do, this would be a sensible appointment.

      It is what it is

      Eddie Howe would have been great , Bellamy who knows

      What we don't want to be doing is following Leeds , Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday into league one

      They are big clubs are were always and will always claw their way back

      If we go into free fall playing boring route one football will be the least of our worries

      Up the City

        I tend to agree

          Nothing against the man, he seems a decent bloke with experience. But unless this is an expressly short term appointment with the intention of securing the city dont descend into a dogfight to beat the drop, then I can’t help but feel underwhelmed.

          Not an entirely unsurprising appointment given the recent track record of the club. Short-termism, with lengthy contracts, feels the order of the day down Sloper Road. Still, it is what it is, as a city fan I wish him all the best and will support the team as per.

          Must say, if you were a young south Walian football fan coming of age over the last decade, without a particular attachment to Cardiff itself, a ticket down the Liberty must look better vfm than one down the CCS.

            Or conversely, save us from relegation and then get us promoted to the Premier League the season after.

                  Tensions seem to be running a bit high on here at the moment

                  I was "talking absolute shyte" to be fair though

                    Well said. Some people on here need to get over themselves. Small minded people who have nothing better to do than criticise anything the club does. People who wouldn't be happy at anything less than the appointment of someone like Pochettino although god help him if we actually lost a game while he was in charge. My suggestion ? - if you are all actually that upset by it all, stop ‘supporting’ the club and don't go to games - you wont be missed.

                        Imagine wanting the club you support to show some ambition and do well... shocking premise, isn't it?

                        Out of interest, do you support Cardiff City FC or the Cardiff City Board of Directors? They're not mutually exclusive... yet you daren't criticise any decisions that the businessmen in charge of the club make lest you not be a proper supporter of the club. Makes no sense.

                          Why couldn't we have just gone with Paul Cook? It seems that would have been an easy hire, and I think it would be a much more popular and prudent choice than McCarthy. Probably less expensive too. Paul Cook is on the way up. McCarthy is in decline. This is another Warnockesque quick-fix. Exactly what we don't need.

                            Hardly inspirational or progressive but still not as completely underwhelming as Harris' appointment.

                            Definitely an opportunity missed and an indicator of the current status of the club.

                            But at least the club did the right thing in making the change and McCarthy is clearly a decent bloke, and far more likely to succeed than Harris.

                            I can't see the appointment sparking a rush on season ticket sales though.

                            Anyway, good luck Mick, as always. Please make the football just a little bit interesting.
