Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
it's a solid mid table squad IMO , there aren't any players from Wigan for example that I would want here. we should be comfortably outplaying teams like that.
I wouldn't be negative as to what manager would consider this Job, maybe a novel way of seeing who's willing is to actually advertise the job and wait for the post. I would consider giving it to Colin for the remainder of the season and with the understanding that if he avoided relegation he's out all the same, it's been dire for years but its still I think an attractive job.

I thought the first two years of warnock were immense
Swashbuckling , backs to the wall , us v the rest
Exactly the sort of football that stirs up ccfc fans even if some won't admit it

You can't be doing that ffs!!
What incentive has ANY manager got in those circumstances? They're not going to give a toss who they upset etc, just take the money knowing they're getting paid regardless...
It should be treated as a damn good job opportunity, not offered to someone under those kind of circumstances!
I'd be tempted to structure any future managerial contract offers.
Reach certain targets and get x, y and z for example. Rather than throwing money at people like that...

Of course it is. We can sit here and say who would want to come to Cardiff and work for this basket case of a club etc. but it's a managerial vacancy in one of the most competitive leagues in world football. There will be plenty of applicants. Whether VT is prepared to pay the going rate though, or pick the right candidate are totally different matters. Remember when Dalman was "the cat that got the cream" with OGS?

You're mad. We've clearly got one of the six worst squads in the Championship.
Surely there has to be a point in time where the board look around at themselves and think, "maybe it's us?". Before quickly reassuring themselves and moving on to the next decision without any foresight or forward planning.

Of course they were.
People just don’t like to admit it because it isn’t fashionable and instead like to focus solely on his poor record in the transfer market when given money to spend.
In 3-4 months it's a challenge, and I'm not sure our players have the physical presence to change into that style. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though
You're right. Morison brought in 17 players to change our playing style. It was a deliberate move away from the long ball football we'd had under Warnock, Harris and McCarthy. Last season Morison's side was much more direct. I assume there was some dialogue between Morison and the board about changing our playing style.
Going back to a different style needs different players. You can't just expect players to play a certain way because a manager wants that. To a large extent, how you play depends on your personel.
Getting this side to play a more direct, physical game is about as laughable and possible as getting Warnock's promotion winning side to play a more possession-type of football.
Whatever happens, we're stuck with the squad we have. Whoever comes in will have to work with what we have, including the style they play. It's not the type of football that's at fault
