I'll bet Warnock was consulted and he suggested ol' Mick.
They're big mates.Quote:

I didn't want him, but he's got my backing. Good luck Mick.Quote:

I dunno, lets just see what happens I guess. All we can do.
One thing though, why sign 2 players within 48hrs then sack the manager a day later? Surely the board were having doubts and having meetings about Harris prior to QPR so why sanction 2 transfers. You don't sack someone just like that so must have been brewing.
Has Mcarthy been lined up in the background with knowledge about the signings prior maybe?
Howe was approached some time ago turned us down allegedly ( ssssh insider info )Quote:

As a fan of the past 60 years I am seriously considering not going down when we eventually start.
The Cardiff City board do not deserve the support.
Not my choice but i'll give him my support the same as any new manager. I'll judge him at the end of the season
Best post of teh lot this one , true bluebird , get into Mick , he doesn't take any prisoners . I used to hate playing his sides if that helps smooth this throughQuote:

Can the board learn. We had the same old for like half a decade! Never gonna progress at this rate...
They have done this to save money on the new mangers kit and coat, as he can use Malky Mackay's now. :hehe:
I would laugh, although that wouldn't surprise me.Quote:

His Ipswich sides were half decent .
better punt than Pulis or even Sparky ??
Not really funny ,thought us socialist were better than that ?Quote:

Banter club. I'm sure in 18 months we will be back here again.
Still, welcome Mick, hope you prove us wrong but we probably may as well have kept Warnock, then Harris might as well have stopped also.
Think overall its not even about Mccarthy himself, the fans just want something new, something to get behind.

I've always supported the owner but if no effort is made by VT or the board to employ a management team that can finally deliver a decent brand of football, all their efforts to fill the ground will be wasted, as even diehard fans will start to pull the plug.
No one hounded Harris out. He got sacked for being shit and then giving up. No character.Quote:

I think I could actually walk away and not glance over my shoulder if this actually happens, not so much Mccarthy but a succession of shit managers with no real vision of a future, they just keep on rolling the dice and there's no actual plan is there..
I've learned to leave the negative stuff behind (hence not posting on here for ages- don't worry board moaners/police I won't be here long) and Cardiff city has become a negative for me recently, and it's not healthy to carry that negative baggage around.
Praying this doesn't happen.
Underwhelmed is the word I'm looking for.
However, his experience will give him the knowledge of how to change things during a game, and also the ability to gel and motivate a squad. Both of which Harris has been woefully short of.
Not the long term vision we were all looking for, but an improvement (fingers crossed) on what we had.
Quite happy with that, think he'll get the best out of this squad.
Let's give him a chance for ****s sake.
Nailed itQuote:

.....that's me signing off till next season..........Half season pass for County's iFollow it is......
Pathetic appointment. I stopped going to games because the football was dross. This isn't an appointment who would bring me back.
We may have had a chance of getting into Europe with Hitlers ghost.Quote:
