Considering our recent history of morison hudson riza even whitehead for a few games it is very difficult to believe shaw won't be our manager fairly soon. Maybe even v his old team Coventry on new years day if we lose the next 2 games!

Can he play up front?

Shaw was assistant coach to Riza at Watford for the u23's (Source-Wiki)

Also says this on official statement.

Official statement says he has been Canada coach in 2023 also but that's not on wiki that I could see.

Some may say I'm being too negative but on the face of it its a pretty poor appointment for our number 2. Considering how poor the coaching staff is.

Apart from a brief spell with Canada on the coaching staff for a couple of weeks looks like he has only done youth football since 2013?

He's obviously friends with riza but I can't say I'm thrilled Watford youth coaching set up is now our first team set up.

I was thinking the same. Couldn't Riza do with someone with more experience of coaching at this level, like Plymouth have done with Mike Phelan?

Tan took the bottles back to finance this one.

What is Tom Ramasut's position now? We demand answers...

Deputy Assistant to the assistant coach

The one positive thing about this is he isn’t Riza

So he can’t be any worse than we currently have, when he takes over in January

He puts the fecking Cones out

With a bit of training

Brilliant. We needed an experienced Championship coach at a minimum to help Riza.

Great appointment.........

When are we getting a flatulence prevention coach?

Chooses the dressing room 'mood' music I'm led to believe.

Expecting Bristol Rovers to name Brighton Under-18s manager Inigo Calderon as their new manager.

The 42-y/o Spaniard was sounded out as the best candidate for the job

apparently this fella was on Cardiff's radar not so long ago

From what borley said nobody is or was on the clubs radar they just wait and see which agents push their clients forward and maybe choose someone from that. If calderon was looking to manage then his agent just probably put his name out there.

I very much doubt cardiff have a radar.
