Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

They probably saw that we lost to a team who sacked their manager in midweek and thought “well, if we can do that ten times a season”

Unless there is something going on behind the scenes (possibly non football related) or they’ve got someone lined up to come in (probably Warnock knowing this lot), this is the most ludicrous sacking in the club’s history I’d say.

This feels like when we implemented what Ken Choo called the Cardiff Way amid talk of changing the way we played and relying on our younger players. They ran out of patience with that and sacked the manager while appointing someone who was the complete antithesis of the new approach.

That decision had some sense to it though because we were struggling, but this is ridiculous. Steve Morison was given the chance to put together his own squad over the summer and bought completely into a new approach to the extent that, as someone who was completely in favour of a change of style, even I thought he had gone a bit too far.

Presumably, when you consider that Morison was given £1.5 million to spend on a new player on the last day of the window, the Board and owner were fully behind what Morison was doing?

This squad will not be able to go back to lumping it like we’ve been doing for nearly all of Vincent Tans time here - actually, I’ll change that to say they can try to lump it, but they’ll be absolute crap at it.

I honestly cannot believe this sacking and if they think that good quality managers won’t look at it and think that club’s not for me, the people in charge are even more out of touch than I thought they were - we’ll probably end up drawing a game somewhere along the way and so they’ll give the job to Mark Hudson.

Shocking. Absolutely ridiculous.

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

Re: Morrison sacked

Ridiculous. The signs of improvement are there. I’m not happy with this.

.....you must have a very sensitive eye when it comes ot spotting improvement because I didn't see much..

I preferred what SM was doing compared to NW or MM but I think rather than keeping him on because of any perceived improvement I'd have kept him on because he is working on something long term and despite there only being crumbs of things to come, you have to give him time to experiment and find his feet ......the players too.

I was not in favour of Morison in the first place BUT this does not seem like a level-headed decision. It's seems a bit heat of the moment.

At least you have been consistent

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Weeks, if not months of backing McCarthy last season when we we all begging them to get rid of him, now Morison gets sacked 10 games in after allowing him to rebuild the entire squad.
We did need improvement, but this decision is unbelievable.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Bloody hell! Results have been shaky but I was happy with the type of football he was getting us to play.

Poor decision by the board.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Proper banter club.

You let the guy change the style while having to bring in a new squad with very little transfer budget.

One thing if we had someone lined up but you just know we haven't.

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

Will we keep going with the aim of improving our style, or go back to a dinosaur?

Re: STEVE MORISON SACKED

as someone has already said it's all about results. Boro first half was excellent and sadly it didn't continue.

Knowing us over recent times - a dinosaur. Inevitable. Such a strange decision. He has his faults, and he’s not the most likeable guy, but surely you have to give things more time. How many of the 17 will the new manager ‘rate’. And so here we go again……

Should have gone after the Swansea debacle.
Imagine having that on your CV.

Agree with the last bit, and the negative comments about Rubin post his wales goal always rankled with me, but just the haste of the call today is the great surprise.
