Ramsey 2-5

Buckingham out to 5-1
The optimist in me says that the delay is down to Ramsey insisting on things being done his way.Quote:

I think the market is shifting as they reflect the boards general cluelessness. Wouldn't suprise me if they are no closer than they were 45 days ago.
would much prefer Gary O,Neil to be our real number 1 target that we are waiting on and as for Ramsey would love to see Eric Ramsey involved in some capacity too !Quote:

If I was a manager with any kind of reputation or ambition I wouldn’t be rushing to accept a potentially career damaging job at Cardiff.
Im pretty sure Buckingham or Evatt would have signed up already.Quote:

I'd be encouraged by rambo being appointed mainly for this reason. I can't see him accepting the current set up at all. Lots of other names mentioned probably would just to get back in and we are the biggest club they will be linked to.Quote:

If rambo is announced it will be one of many announcements of a whole new structure. The delay could be linked to gunter or morgans and how their wales roles pan out with them full time with us. So the delay may not be anything to do with the manager but more their staff.
Ramsey was on holidays this week. Not sure when he gets / got back. I heard he had specific demands re the coaching set up. We'll see.Quote:

That would never happen 🤷
Why is everyone sure Ramsey will be such a success
I don't think everyone is are they? Speaking for myself, I'd say that, if we have to go for another internal appointment, he'd be as good as anyone. I say that not because I'm convinced he'll be a great manager, more because I feel he is the candidate best placed to get Tan to make the changes to the way the club operates that are desperately required.Quote:

In all fairness a £20 bet placed will shift the odds considerably, it is not a busy market.
Well his track record on the pitch since his return has been pretty woeful. But we are not allowed to be critical of AR I have learned to my cost.Quote:

He has a wonderful playing record for other clubs (notably Arsenal) but as he has only played around 40 games in total for Cardiff (in three spells) it is a bit strange he is classed as a Cardiff City legend.
Phil Dwyer, Peter Whittingham, Brian Clarke, could be classed as legends.
But the older I get the more I realise how little I know!
Tan’s views on Ramsey over his time as a player can’t be too favourable. I’m sure that two years ago he’d never even heard of Aaron Ramsey but was persuaded to part with a large sum of money to be spent on wages with the intention of driving a promotion campaign. Here we are two years later with zero return on the initial investment and now in a division lower. And now the same individual is being proposed as the one to take us back up as a manger. If Tan holds any grudges then it may not be a relationship that is based on solid ground.
The important thing for me is he's been at big clubs and has first hand experience of how they are run. I also think if he's appointed it'll be on his terms.Quote:

Hes actually weakening in the market. He went to 2-5 yesterday. The move in the market is for Ramsey overnight.Quote:

Bookies haven't a clue.
Do those running the club?
It must be him then !Quote:

24 hours later & Buckingham at 4/7 back as the favourite.
I've found these odds from the day before Bulut was announced:Quote:

Alexander Blessin 14/1
Kevin Phillips 16/1
Bulut not to be seen.
I think Buckingham would be a great move personally, maybe with Rambo as assistant if he doesn't bring his own. He's young and hungry, has league one experience, plays good football, and has had success wherever he's been.Quote:

Followed it with Ramsey and Barry-Murphy in contention but Ramsey wants to keep playing and BM has reservations about being a No.1 in League 1.
Will we ever appoint anyone or is the nightmare of Purse/Ramasut taking pre-season developing into reality.
Sky are as full of shite as everyone else. Very few people know what’s going on, including our board, the rest is just speculation.Quote:
