MARK HUDSON SACKED

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

It's the speed of appointment that worries me as we don't have a track record of quick appointments and always seem to be on the back foot and with us needing to strengthen in this window which doesn't have long left
It then all becomes a bit panicky and this board doesn't seem to decide well in an emergency (cue the howls of derision that they don't decide well at any time)

Agreed.

The new appointment is probably already lined up, Hudson would have been sacked regardless of yesterday’s result.

I would be amazed if so as this would be out of habit on previous examples and we have had a few recently??

The statement from the club giving whitehead the reins for now seems to say they will begin the search now and knowing their track record appoint them after the window closes

I think with ninety five minutes played, Hudson was going to be our manager at Leeds and a minute later he wasn't. That equaliser did for him in my opinion. That said, I agree that he might well have been on borrowed time - an impressive win at Middlesbrough in his penultimate game didn't save Morison.

Perhaps but they usually sound out potential replacements weeks in advance and it’s usually around a transfer window , so it gives a new manager time to get in the replacements he wants , even if in our case they are loans.

There is no point sacking Hudson if it takes another two weeks to find a replacement as the window would have shut.

Agreed but then this is our board who I am not sure know how to spell the word plan let alone actually have one that they can implement?

Who are “they”? Cardiff. We haven’t done that for a long time.

Were either of the Dynamic Duo at the game yesterday or did they drop Hudson a text or something?

Apparently Hudson was called into a meeting with Ken Choo at the stadium, according to Glen Williams of WalesOnline.

“He spoke then with BBC Radio Wales in the club's radio room, deep in the belly of the stadium, before being called into a meeting with Ken Choo, who delivered the bad news to the manager. The backroom staff also had meetings and Dean Whitehead made it known that he would be open to taking the role on a temporary basis.”

I was thinking about the transfer window too.
Will the transfer committee just bring in any players Hudson was looking at, which might not be (probably won't be) players the new manager wants?
Will they let the new manager bring some loans/frees in, assuming someone's appointed before the window shuts?
Will they let the interim manager (who was appointed as assistant manager by the last interim manager) decide who to bring in?
Will they bring nobody in because the new manager isn't appointed in time/doesn't know the current squad/hasn't been scouting for what's needed?
What an almighty mess.

Any chance the board realised they had to pay Nantes to get out of the transfer embargo to give a manager they had discussed taking over the ability to bring in loan signings ? I know this is Cardiff City and probably it was decided on the 96th minute equaliser ?

I think you’re giving Dalman & Choo far too much credit, they have no track record of being proactive. We need a new manager within this week but I suspect it will either be with one or two days of the window or they’ll stick with Whitehead.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

It’s clear that Hudson had to be sacked but what worries me is that it just seems there’s no plan

I wouldn’t be surprised if they are now sitting round a table ringing round to see who’s available

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

There’s lots of candidates on SkyBet but I do wonder who actually would consider the vacancy.

Would be good, but probably not
