Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
This is why an ‘in the know’ proper football man needs to be brought in, someone with decent contacts who after assessing the squad can wheel and deal in the window.
I was in but today's performance was a side devoid of confidence, ideas, shape and threat. Think he's lost the dressing room and can't see him recovering from here.
If he survives until Saturday he won't survive a defeat to Luton.
That’s not how football works these days. It’s thanks to someone with old fashioned contacts we are in this mess. We need a proper recruitment team that’s seperate from the coaching. We are miles behind on that department. Dalman and Choo sell cars ffs.
It was one of Warnock’s good points being ‘in the know’, players such as Bamba, Hoilett, NML, Etheridge coming to us because of him really not because we’re Cardiff City. Of course he went on to waste money and burden us with dross but his initial bargain basement wheeling and dealing initially steadied a sinking ship.
The Mendez-Laing situation won't have helped, whatever the reasons for his departure. Although I believe it was right for Etheridge to leave, I'm pretty sure he was well liked by his teammates. Paterson was a big character, so no doubt his sale has had an effect. Tomlin's absence is another obvious negative.
Could be that the spirit in the dressing room isn't quite what it was, but it's obviously the manager's job to sort that out.
You say we don't have resources but in the same breath say we have spent 5.5mil on a striker. As things go we are big spenders, we have a great new stadium and other top facilities in comparison. 2 seasons ago we were in the premier league
Yeah 5.5m wasted along with probably big wages. Along with similar amount on a 30 plus centre half on loan elsewhere.
Parachute payments going in the summer. We will be cutting back big time next summer.
I'd need to see what the alternatives are. I don't think we should just sack him with no plan in place and put ourselves at the mercy of the usual suspects waiting in the wings.
I find it hard to believe he's really this bad. But then again, I usually do in such circumstances.
I wonder what Ojo and Wilson think of this. Would they be having regular check-ins with the staff at Liverpool?

Ojo better hope nobody at Liverpool watched him play tonight.

Its Harris or a cheap option.
He can turn this around.
I don't know if he can, I'm inclined to ditch him, but think maybe end of Dec.
But for sure with Covid and our parachute payments ending, our free spending will be over, especially if our recent history of when the premier league money ran dry is to go on. Some people on here will be insufferable
