Re: Mark Hudson

I think people are being a bit harsh on him to be honest.
We've seen some decent performances despite the results.
We played well against a strong Sheffield Utd side today, and if it wasn't for Nkounkou f*cking up again, we'd have had a point or even all 3.

Chill out lads.
Performances haven't been gravy I'll admit, but they've not been too bad when you consider the shit Morison left us in.
It's a tough ask of Hudson at the moment, we're short in a number of key positions.

I do wish he'd address the left-back situation though, and send Ojo out on loan...

We're blaming Morison now are we?

The cheap option put in place by the board despite having no experience and asking him to rebuild a squad on buttons, reduce the wage bill and play more attractive football to boot.

If we have a load of $hit left after the Morison spell then it is at least in part due to the all singing, all dancing transfer committee. It is either that they feel they're qualified to oversee transfers and sign them off or not. If they don't have the knowledge then what are they doing there? You can't play at running a football club even though we seem to be doing in many areas. As with a lot of things at City the people at the top love a bit of adulation when things go right but wash their hands of any blame when it goes wrong. If transfers have gone wrong then it lands at the feet of the transfer committee. Simple as that.

In no other organisation would top management keep getting decisions wrong in relation to middle managers and lower without having to take responsibility. I'm not sure how many managerial balls ups the board here can commit without fans waking up and smelling the coffee.

Re: Mark Hudson

Too late, WOL reported that he signed the contract this afternoon.

Great. He probably charged down the tunnel at FT to sign it. Can't believe his luck.

Add this to the long list of 'genius moves' from the Infallible Mr Tan.

Re: Mark Hudson

Nowhere near good enough. We look clueless.

we've looked clueless for years and it's Tans fault for not bringing in football people

Yes, we are blaming Morison, and rightfully so.
The transfer committee are there to sign off on transfers, not recommend them.
Morison's ineptitude has left us short in key areas. Nobody should be blamed more than him.

Can’t blame Morison for Hudsons tactical decisions on substitutes

And who saw Morison as the man to rebuild the squad again? Oh yeah, VT and the board.

Can never understand the thinking of blaming a man who made no sense as manager to anybody but the board of Cardiff City then leaving the board blameless. It is ridiculous. The board and owner are the only constant in this series of car crashes and crap decisions yet some still seem to think the only misfiring part of this whole machine is the manager.

Morison does not get a managerial job at anywhere but here given his experience. The reason being that most other clubs in the Championship have a board that know he wouldn't be good enough. They also wouldn't be employing Hudson yet our board seem to think he is the man, at least for three quarters of a season.

If the board keep putting managers that are way below the standard needed in place then, whatever the reason for that, the same board need to shoulder a portion of blame. You cant put too much blame on a man who has simply been earmarked for a job well above his capabilities but took the job and tried his best. Of course he is going to jump at the chance.

In any other line of work if a manager employed somebody they felt was skilled enough and they turned out to be an absolute calamity then the manager would be held accountable. Not here it seems. Our fans will settle for any old crap these days. Some are grateful.

Re: Mark Hudson

Agreed, this is Morison's mess.
If Morison gets a job on the back of his stint here, I'll be fecking amazed.
Hudson has the unenviable job of trying to clean up his shit after him.

If I have one criticism of Hudson, it's that he seems to hit the panic button too fast at times, and chuck on every sub available, along with the kitchen sink.

Quit panicking Marky boy, keep your cool.
Assess the situation and act accordingly.
5 subs is not going to instantly change the result, sometimes it just makes things worse...

I would have Morison back in a flash, squad is more than capable, Hudson just doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.

Re: Mark Hudson

Had he been given until the World Cup before we brought in the next permanent manager then we would probably have put it down as a fairly bad job and hoped for better with a new man coming in.

Now Tan seems to have given him until the end of the season do we think he is good enough? Is he good enough to get enough of a tune out of this squad to lead us to safety and survival in the Championship?

I'm very concerned. One point above the relegation zone and 13 points from 11 games after today's result. You take the 7 points from the first 3 games and new manager bounce out of that haul and it is very worrying.

I'm not sure Hudson is good enough, has improved things much further to what Morison was doing and definitely not the man to get this job full time.
I'd replace him tomorrow if we had a manager lined up. It wouldn't surprise me if Tan, less than a week on from backing Hudson, got rid of him but then it sums up our panicked and reactionary approach to running the club without any real plan.

I blame Tan for it all :thumbup:

Re: Mark Hudson

We know that tan should be employing football men in the boardroom

And we know that Hudson whilst being a good guy is not , at present , what this football club needs

However there is no point in continually complaining about tan

Because unless some rich sugar daddy is waiting , he's our owner

And that's the way it is

If my aunty Jean had a pair of bollocks she would be my uncle Bert

But she hasn't, she got a fanny so she's Mt aunty

Quite simply until the owner decides to change the way he runs this football club we are stuck with what we have

If we do stick with what we have on and off the pitch I think we are probably going to be one of the 3 sides that goes down

But what can we do ?

I'd be happy with Tan if he learnt from his mistakes.

It isn't the first time he has trotted out the idea that he has been had over by managers for example.
Logical thing to do, if you keep getting caught out signing duds, would be to get somebody knowledgeable in to guard against it, if you're clearly not bright enough to spot it of course. Not Tan. He says he has been caught out by Cornelius, Murphy and a few in between but has changed very little to guard against it. Is he surprised by the fact it has happened again if he is relying on his clearly limited knowledge in the area?

It is this ignorance and arrogance that is behind many of the bad decisions made at the club.

Not sure where you get this from?

Hammam would probably be below Tan on the list of suitable owners and that's saying something.
