Neil Warnock - 1/2
Valerien Ismael - 4/1
Liam Manning - 9/2
Looks like something of a two horse race if we take Warnock out of it.
I suspect Ismael is the likeliest given we've employed 2 of his previous staff members.
Good job if you got 10/1 on Ismael earlier today, I certainly wouldn't bet against it at this point.
Oh well, employers in the south Wales area better start preparing for a return to the days of the Cardiff City fans on their staff ringing in sick on a Monday with strained necks if it is to be Ismael.
That bad is it Bob?Quote:

Club football was put on hold. If there hadn’t been the break, Hudson would, maybe, have been pedalled early December giving us a bit of transfer window grace. The Sala situation would also have probably been squared off in December, giving us a bit more leeway. It can’t drag on, a decision has to be made, it’ll please some, annoy others but isn’t that always the way?
Be interesting if there are any managers as guests at the game tomorrow.Quote:

I do think we’re entitled to know one way or the other rather than being left to pick up ‘in the know’ snippets on the internet. Are the ones who say it’s been lifted 100% certain? I just don’t know any more with this club.Quote:

It's borderline f*cking rude to be fair, especially to every season ticket holder.Quote:

What I remember about the Barnsley team under Ismael was their manic work rate (and yes they were direct). He made full use of the original Covid 5 subs rule and ran his team into the ground before bringing on the fresh legs at 60 minutes to keep the pace up.Quote:

It is, isn’t it, they’ll be pushing next term’s season tickets shortly. They’ll be well up front with that info. It’s not too much to ask to be kept informed of important news, rather than things like emails to existing season ticket holders offering half season tickets!!! I despair!Quote:

If we do go for Ismael, I’d be certain we’d get Mowatt on loan if we could, him and Wintle in the middle would be just lovely
AgreedQuote:
