Including Cardiff City's other teams, largely thanks to Morison.
Re: If we appoint Michael Flynn
So would people feel better about Flynn if he had managed Crawley?
Don’t get it myself, yes he was only a manager at Newport, but he was that club’s most successful since Len Ashurst in the late seventies/early eighties for me.

Would you prefer Flynn to Morrison ?

It’s obvious isn’t it? We are in a relegation fight.

Just because Flynn is local and available doesn't mean he's right.
No. I think the other points you ignored are more pertinent….he can get results with zero resources.
Like I’ve said before, you people have had to put up with McCarthy, Harris and Warnock football…..you should be on your hands and knees begging for someone like Flynn.

No one would even know who he is if he managed Crawley. I really can’t wait until we appoint someone that isn’t Flynn and Flynn can manage some random league 2 club and we can all stop having this debate. I wonder if Barnsley fans are clamouring for him

If the Crawley manager had a record like Flynn's at Newport I think they would.

I'd prefer Beale, but would not be too bothered about Flynn or Morison being appointed. My one worry with Morison would be that we're reading too much into not a great deal of experience at Under 23 level and one game at senior level. In his favour, I'd say we looked far more of a threat going forward at Stoke and I liked the lack of hoofball, but, I'd didn't see any improvement in our defending or in our closing down of players within thirty yards of goal - I would have thought these would have been a priority for any one taking over from McCarthy.

I agree. There were still far too many bad habits. If the goalie hadn't blundered, perhaps we would have lost 5-0 who knows. If we lose tomorrow this clamour for Morison may die down. I hope he goes from strength to strength but way too early to be calling for him to take the job.

I really doubt it. I rarely see our fans want lower league managers. No one wanted Slade for example

Many of them have also baulked at Swansea when they've gone for unfashionable and inexperienced managers.

I was answering you about fans not having heard about Crawley's manager - if they had a record in the cups like Flynn's Newport did, I think he'd be recognised nationally. I'm not saying a majority of our fans want him, because I don't think that's true even if I wouldn't be too upset if we appointed him.

I know an amateur league manager that's done the same.
He currently works for free.
Let's really cut back on costs, it's it's same thing isn't it.

Oh come on now, I'm not as against Flynn as some people but the idea we should be on our hands and knees begging for him to take over is ridiculous and you know it
Would you be as interested in Flynn if he had managed Harrogate Town or Morecambe?

Swansea's recent appointments have been more in line with hiring someone like Beale. Even Russell Martin was managing in League 1!
Would Swansea even think about offering the job to Flynn? I doubt it

Flynn doesn't do the Swansea way, so no.
With regard the whole division thing, suppose 21 years ago we were a Championship side and we wanted to buy Gabbidon and Earnshaw from a League 2 side. Would you take a chance?

You could argue that Potter didn't either. Point being that Swansea were keen on a return to a more possession and passing game. It's why Martin was hired.
