Wasn't Dalman (on the baord) quoted as saying something like that when we were in the hunt for a new manager? It was definitely said at some point either after Warnock or Harris.

Re: McCarthy is ruining our club. Sack him NOW before it gets worse.
What precisely does the thread starter expect from a manager who's been in charge 7 months??
Did I want him no
Do I like the style of play no
Substitutions inspire me no
Would I have extended his contract when we did also no
But results have improved from Harris despite what looks a weaker squad
Youngsters have been used for the first time in years
Signings aren't at the end of their careers though some pace in the team is much needed
Am I overjoyed with him no but to call for his dismissal from what he's done so far is ridiculous

I’ll tell you exactly. I want him to care and I want him to try. I’ll forgive anything if we get that but this casual smarmy attitude every time he cocks up can’t ever change anything. Generally I don’t like sacking managers and I think it’s better to let them establish continuity and correct stuff but in my opinion based upon over sixty years observing people’s attitudes I think he cares only about a pay cheque and if he did for example get us relegated he’d move on and never give it another thought.
This is exactly what Roy Keane said, and having now seen the way MM operates I’m afraid I agree completely.

Exactly.
If something isn't right at your club then comparing yourself to a basket case of a club (as they seem currently) isn't it.

They did. Bellamy lucky in one regard in that he had what I would say was the best group of youngsters the club has produced in recent years to work with - thinking back, there was Ratcliffe in goal, Margetson, Bodenham, Bagan (I reckon he'll become a centreback eventually and a composed one at that) and Reynolds as defenders, Bowen, Patten and, for a while Pinchard in midfield, Evans as a winger cum number ten and Davies and Griffiths (not sure what happened to him after his first year with us, he was a right handful then) in attack. One thing about that team, Colwill played quite a few games, but I'd say he was only a sub when we were able to pick our strongest team even though he was bigger than most of the other lads.

Re: McCarthy is ruining our club. Sack him NOW before it gets worse.
Regarding our Board and their desire for a more entertaining style, I can remember a comment to that effect after Warnock left, but I don't think there was anything during the transition from Harris to McCarthy.

They, or more to the point Mehmet, said this in November 2019.
They appointed Mick at the tail end of January 2021.
If the board have changed their minds in that time then it is a big worry.
Regardless of the noises they make their choice seems to be a club that is as cheap as possible and stays in the Championship.
Nothing wrong with that, we have no god given right to success, but I think the club should at least aim for more.
Tan is the owner and can do what he likes really. Lose the fans though and it takes a lot to get them back.

The ludicrous thing about these discussions is if we had beaten Bristol, and we should’ve, we would be lauding the manager for taking us top at 2.20pm. Losing a local derby hurts but I was surprised that the team had been on such a long unbeaten league run including last season. You would think we were bottom three by the comments. It’s great to see more youngsters playing and they are trying to play a bit more football- not a lot but they are trying. With our limitations, pressing for 6th place will be a success this year.

I'd still be moaning of we went top, because he is getting the team selection and tactics wrong. Things won't always go right for us, we won't always rally from 2 down etc and his playing players in the wrong position will eventually hurt us, then when he tries to change it miles in the future the natural attacking players we have that aren't being played will be rusty as **** and expected to perform at the drop of a hat after playing second fiddle to a CDM who can't even do the things during games the manager says he's being selected in the team to do...

We've not played the top sides in this division yet by a long stretch either.
All are bottom half of the league currently, apart from Bristol City, who were 17th when we kicked off against them.
There are much better sides in this league than what we have faced up to now.

Re: McCarthy is ruining our club. Sack him NOW before it gets worse.
Everyone is ignoring my main point which is one you can’t get over if you gave him £100M to spend.
That is that he doesn’t give a **** and he’s not trying very hard or even pretending to.

Probably because it seems to be based purely on a feeling of yours - a feeling that I’d be surprised if anyone else agrees with.

Ridiculous thread and comments by you. The one thing you definitely cant say about McCarthy is that he isn't trying or that he doesn't give a ****. And yet that is the main thrust of your argument, based on nothing more than a ‘feeling’ you have. Well, I have a ‘feeling’ that you have lost the plot.

Logic indicates that if you're making a serious accusation, you provide some evidence to back it up.
That is probably why most are ignoring your baseless claim.

I am not sure Jim can't say either way if I did or didn't disagree with you in the past, life flies by fast when you're having fun.
I do remember being one if the few willing to give Ole a chance so I've wanted a better style for some time, but I can't disagree with you as I honestly don't know!

There seem to be so very nasty nasty buggers like you round this club now that it really breaks my heart.
You’ve done well though. After literally over 60 years now supporting and watching Cardiff City you make me feel so sick I just don’t want to be part of it if you’re typical ( and there are a lot like you now).
That’s not an exaggeration- no more Ccfc for me now - thanks .
Next I’ll delete the site before I have to read the triumphant comments frm the few yobs who now typify the supporters.

No, I think people who behave in a disgusting way judging others for their behaviour is stupid. You haven't got a leg to stand on son, others that want to condemn the singing condemn away, but you sonny? You stop right there.

Re: McCarthy is ruining our club. Sack him NOW before it gets worse.
is McCarthy my ideal manager? absolutely not.
are we going to get promoted this season. absolutely not.
we play one dimensional agricultural football, his team selections are often difficult to understand, and his refusal to use any subs until the 75th minute drives my up the wall.
I definitely do not think we should be sacking him though.
we are a side in transition at the moment, stripping a lot of cost out and bringing through youngsters. we have an experienced if old fashioned manager who is a steady hand during this time, I don't think now is the time to change.

Its not a nice truth but it is a truth. You post how you post on here and it is offensive to women, you then want to act all offended when it suits you, some will let it pass others will pull you up on it.
There's not much else to add so pointless keeping on eh, accept you're a bit offensive to women or don't it's up to you tbh.
