Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Whether he’s a good manager or not, and the jury is definitely still out there, letting him sign 17 players and completely reshape the squad to play a certain style and then firing him a couple weeks after the window closes is just another sign of a shockingly run club from the top down.

Cannot agree more.....

I always think what Abbandonato says is an accurate representation of club thinking, so,
what a depressing read that is - we’ll go for the cheap option again.

Relegation looking far more likely then….good work Tan

That would be depressing. They should be looking at it as an opportunity instead. Get the right man in and I really think this squad is decent enough, maybe with a couple of additions in January, to do well. Apart from Sheff Utd and Norwich everyone else is pants!

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

WOL reckon it was just because Tan was worried about getting into a relegation fight.
Also suggesting that Hudson will be given a chance to prove himself worthy of the job full time. Hope not. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...steve-25048877

It's like déjà vu all over again.

What about the U23 guy? He can fill in for a bit can't he?

Mehmet and Ken would have to find out who he is first, or maybe not..

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

The most damning thing I can see for Hudson is that he's apparently taking first team training, he's a massively experienced center back at this level and we're still giving up at least one completely free far post header from set pieces per game.

It is interesting that apparently Hudson is the one arguing for a more adventurous style. I guess we'll see, but it would be just like Tan and Dalman to give him a 2 year deal based on a new manager bounce and then see him fired within 9 months. Mad club.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

I'm pretty happy with the decision.

My only real concern, but it was a serious one, was not the squad he's built which I think is pretty good, or his tetchiness which is fine for someone who knows what he's doing, but the fact that after basically giving up after going one down in 4 away matches he didn't seem to know why we had been so poor thereafter.

That was quite worrying. But he did 95% of the job the club asked him to do and I would have given him more time.

Onwards and upwards!

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Shocking. Absolutely ridiculous.

What a joke of a club we are. We deserve relegation.

And you've done nothing but slag off the team for a few weeks!

Our wonderful passing-by-the-door succession planning. There was an interview with the Chief Exec at Norwich who said it didn't matter how well the manager was doing they had a list of names of potential successors. I wonder if Russell Slade, Paul Trollope, Neil Warnock, Neil Harris, Mick McCarthy, Steve Morison and (inevitably) Mark Hudson ever featured on the successor lists of progressive clubs.

The surprise of this news sustained me for a couple of hours this afternoon until I realised we'd have to get someone in now.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

My main concern is that almost all of the new signings said they came as Morison sold them a dream, and a way of playing. I hope the new manager can motivate them.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Not sure what to make of that.
Been happily tiling my bathroom...then get the sacking text.

He's not very likeable, but that's not his job.
I've not really enjoyed the football this season....typically I missed the first half v Boro but caught the second.
It seemed just like Trollops.

I'm not disappointed that he's gone, guess it depends who he brings in.
I would be happy with Dyche and his disc beard.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

This quote from Abbandonato sums it up really.
"Cardiff's chronic lack of creativity, and thus absence of any real goal threat, was understandably perturbing Tan behind the scenes and he wasn't seeing any real evidence of those problems being addressed."
Let's be fair, if you've pumped in millions on a regular basis, that is a serious concern.
Even as a fan, watching from the sidelines, it's a serious concern.

It's bizarre. If they had a 'name' lined up, you could perhaps understand the club's thinking, but to just hand things over to Morison's No 2, doesn't make sense..
