Trust Gives Its Verdict On Mick McCarthy Appointment

Keith Morgan, chair of Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust, responding to the appointment of Mick McCarthy as manager to replace Neil Harris, said:

“The dismissal of Neil Harris was inevitable given the run of six successive defeats and such poor displays.

"The appointment of Mick McCarthy, who we obviously wish success in the role, until the end of the season is a short-term measure to ensure safety in the Championship and will, hopefully, involve a push towards the Play-Offs.

“The club has brought in someone who has enjoyed success at Championship level, although that was over a decade ago.

“What is vital is that we hear from Cardiff City management about what is their long term strategy to take the club forward after Mick McCarthy's contract ends. We know many fans are also concerned about the style of football played and other clubs around us do seem to have a comprehensive plan, from the Academy to the first team - so should Cardiff City. Supporters will not want the club to stutter from one short term “fix" to another. We need vision and stability. "

All it's going to take now is for one of Tan's urchins to pass the word along the dark corridors of international commerce. ..... and then for Tan himself to stop and think before waving it away.

Re: Unilateral Tan

I don't like modern football and my politics being left wing make it very uneasy that the team I support is propped up by an extremely rich capitalist .

His rebrand was shocking

Some of his subordinates managerial appointments have been dreadful , some good ��

It is what it is

If I won 300 million on the lottery tomorrow and it was enough to buy him out I would

We are not the only club to have had a colourful past with regard to chairman

Brighton had a shocker

Sheffield Wednesday

Newcastle under mike ashley

Newport County with that American idiot

West Ham

Bury

Villa

Until football genuinely changes we are stuck with this sort of thing

If my aunty had bollocks she would be my uncle

Hopefully for 6 months MM can steady the ship and either he's the right man for the job or the club appoint a younger face

But maybe they won't

It is what it is

Bluebirds

I think you were right about us being doomed sludge, I mean we finally get a wealthy benefactor and just look at the mess, useless CEO’s can’t find a decent manager or work out a plan for the club going forward, just a wing and a prayer, throw a bit of cash at it, all in the wrong direction usually, then moan about how much it costs him to keep us going.....yet look over your shoulder and little old swansea town find decent managers, usually selling them not sacking them, sell players for millions and have a youth system.....
Honestly, I hope we go down so we can start afresh and forget about going up and all the bollocks that come see with it.

Tan is just an idiot with very deep pockets.

Re: Unilateral Tan

He is a despot. Nonetheless we are very lucky to have him for his generosity in keeping our club afloat and well away from the bottom 2 divisions where we lingered for 18 years.

a despot? you're not a trumpist by any chance

Re: Unilateral Tan

What I'm saying is no matter what Tan decides theres always someone who thinks they know better and are prepared to make huge assumptions about Tan to that end.As this appointment is only to the end of the season it allows time for the decision makers to make a more considered choice.

There's only one decision-maker. What has he done in the past to make you think that this will happen?

Re: Unilateral Tan

Of course people are presuming that this'll go wrong and he'll need to appoint another manager.
I don't think it will.

Re: Unilateral Tan

Do we need a relegation from this division to start the new beginning and wipe everything we and the players know.
Start fresh from the top, and rebuild the team and its direction.
Its ingrained to lump it forward in everyone of these players.
Morrison is a good defender but the times I scream at him everytime he and the rest of our players just hoof the ball to nobody from one end of the pitch to the other, really gets on my tits.

Relegation didn't seem to have helped Sunderland.

Re: Unilateral Tan

Remember, things can ALWAYS get worse.

The OPs heart is in the right place though, not going to knock that. A dose of non-league football or the bottom half of League 2 will make anyone appreciate what we have at CCFC.

Just posted and then saw your post. Was thinking exactly the same thing!

Re: Unilateral Tan

Relegation for a club like Leeds, Sunderland etc to division one is a kick in the pants but clubs like that get back up

We could get cast adrift again if we went down

It has to be avoided at all costs

Re: Unilateral Tan

I think the chances of City making the play-offs this season are extremely slim, but the chances of them finishing anywhere between 7th and 10th are reasonable. I believe if McCarthy can steer the side into one of those positions by the end of the season, he'll definitely be given a new contract.

I hope it's not that simple and thorough questions are asked about what plans he has for the future if given the job longer term. Di Matteo won Chelsea the Champions League by putting smiles back on faces but he was completely out of his depth the next season, Adkins was a fine manager for Southampton but Pochettino offered a better future so a ruthless decision was made.

Relegation makes the job of developing this club one hundred times harder not easier.

No, why can't we rebuild in the championship? League 1 would be a disaster for this club

I agree. Let's not forget we've only recently experienced relegation from the PL and all the talk about bouncing back up was delusional. OK, we were almost lucky last season but just look where we are now. I'm all for ruthlessness when it comes to Managers. Warnock being a prime example i.e. keeping him on after our promotion. It was always going to end in tears. We got into the top division and blew it (twice). Talk about making life difficult for ourselves.

OR, Ipswich, Blackpool, Bolton and Oldham, remember them having a stint in the prem !
