Well, it's certainly a different type of managerial appointment by Cardiff City!

Long contract and different job title for Brian Barry-Murphy.

Good read. Id be suprised if we see a new appointment between Barry-Murphy and the board room though.

Great write up, and the signs are promising. I’ve been lured into a false sense of security and many false dawns in the past, so I’m staying calmly optimistic about this appointment.

The comparison with former clubs is interesting. Of course BBM is not responsible for Leciester going down or Man City going from Treble winners to chumps after he left.

But we can crediabley conclude that he can make young players better. Hopefully that transfers to older players as well. What we don't know is has he got tactical nounce and the other things that go with management?

All well and good handling the young players which is all I’ve seen comment on so far but perhaps even more importantly is motivating the senior players to buy into your methods.

I don’t know, I really hope this is a success and we develop a young attack minded side but can’t help feeling there is a lack of experience with BBM and still no change in any structure within the club to provide him with more support

The one thing I hope from this manager is that we don't become a Swansealona / Man City / Barca tap it around type of team.
