Re: Steve Morison, 21st best manager in the Championship?

He worked the transfer market exceptionally imo in January. I’m not sure how much of a turn around in performance people expected but we got the points and it improved..

At the start of the 2021/22 January transfer window, Cardiff City were 20th in the Championship. When the season eventually finished, they were 18th.

Is that exceptional?

Last 12 games of the season, which I guess is somewhere close to the transfer window and we were 13th over that period.

Don't know who we played or who the others did but it's not exceptional, but its better than we were doing previously.

He had a good window and a decent end to the season.

The 5 loan signings will dictate how are season goes I believe
We need a couple of flare players and forwards who can actually score goals.
1st of July and I'm reasonably happy with the signings so far
Let's see what we have bought in for Saturday 30th.

We have the cone sorted but what flavour ice cream will we get, if any

It’s only fair to judge him after this coming season. He’s had the chance to build a squad, his squad, and I’m interested to see what happens.

I said he worked the transfer market exceptionally and I stand by that. With the little time, huge gaps in the squad and little or no money I thought he did a lot better than expected.

There was a discussion as to whether they were being fair in placing Bowyer so low and they didn’t really convince me that they were right to have him there - there was some vague reference to “strange decisions” he made in terms of transfers and selections and talk of him not getting some of the Birmingham team to play to their potential,

A number of press reports this afternoon saying Bowyer about to be sacked.
