Message to the board - swallow your pride and bring him in around mid January
It will almost definitely be someone in that mould, I'm not sure anyone on here wants it to be, but it will be, particularly if Warnock has anything to do with itQuote:

Bam a for youth coaching and development for me.
At least Bellamy would be open to suggestions
Apologies for predicted texts. You know who I mean...Quote:

It wasn't a serious suggestion - although Bellamy might have an influence, and Cardiff could be a route to the Premier League (in the same way as Derby appeared to Lampard). But no - very hard to imagine that happening.Quote:

So he's available! Good!Quote:

Worth a shout. Artteta in the Bellamy mould, that is successful premier player who has played under the highest level of coaches.Quote:

How do we know what style of football Bamba would play?Quote:

I like him so I am not talking him down but everyone on here is talking about a gamble.
To me, Bamba is another high level gamble
How do we know he hasn’t got a different philosophy though? I’m just replying to your post.Quote:

Big shift to Neil Harris on skybet and is current favourite. Mike Flynn in at second.
Read it and weep, people...

Yes but based on nothing. Bookmakers love a new manager market. On average there are at least three odds-on favourites before the actual appointment is made.Quote:

I don't think that's ideal and is going to be real test for Dalman and co to get the right fit for what we want to do now and next.
Considering some of the successful managers we have seen recently (Sean Dyche had one season of experience with Watford finishing midtable in Championship, David Wagner was reserve team manager at Dortmund, Chris Wilder was found in league 2) and some of the not so successful appointments (Nathan Jones at Stoke after such a successful time at Luton, Marco Silva currently at Everton, Julen Lopetegui at Real Madrid) then hopefully our fans give the new man time and don't judge too positively or harshly based on what they haven't or have done elsewhere.
i) West Brom tried to change too much midseason and went down. Progression rather than revolution would see us right.
ii) It won't be Bellamy. It might have been but his name has too recently been linked to poor behaviour in terms of coaching young players and no experienced business owner would invite the stink that would follow his appointment at this time. Maybe in the future but not now.
iii) It won't be Bamba simply because he'll either want to do a player-manager role and that won't work in first job at this level or it will leave us short of defenders. He may be part of a caretaking unit or a coach under next manager but he won't be the next manager.
The issue is do the board ever plan anything? Warnock just happened to be available after poor managerial appointments post Mackay where Cardiff ended up with Trollope and his failed experiment that had Cardiff staring relegation in the face. Warnock was the ideal fit to sort out the club, and achieved well beyond expectation. Unfortunately for him his managerial career with Cardiff should have ended with a 2-0 away win at Old Trafford as opposed to a home defeat to rivals Bristol City.Quote:

Him or Lee Bowyer - I say that because of Dalmans connection with himQuote:

One to consider, he's passionate ,a character ,been around big clubs ,has done very well with Charlton with limted recourses, and has already recived a conduct managerial ban ?Quote:

Let's just say I'd prefer Michael Duberry :thumbup:Quote:

It might not be successful, and it may be rushed more than they would have liked, but these are not owners/board members who have just took an interest in football last year. Pre-Warnock may have been a learning curve but they should not be so ready to jump into short-term'ism this time around.Quote:
