Is it the 1st April already?
Now Mark Hudson is in charge are we going to start a 'shoot from our own half' tactic?
As we all know though, it's a results driven business.Quote:

Something has to give if you're the owner I guess.
**** me. If it wasn't for the missed pen we would have had 4 out of 6 away. Who knows what's happened. Did he ask for a couple of out of contract players and was refused £1.5 million is peanuts these days. We've got no forwards, they cost big bucks.
There's a pattern. Manager kerps us up, sacked the following season.
Well he's been given plenty of grief on yesterday's match thread lads !
So there we go . Decision made .
They probably saw that we lost to a team who sacked their manager in midweek and thought “well, if we can do that ten times a season” :facepalm:
Unless there is something going on behind the scenes (possibly non football related) or they’ve got someone lined up to come in (probably Warnock knowing this lot), this is the most ludicrous sacking in the club’s history I’d say.
This feels like when we implemented what Ken Choo called the Cardiff Way amid talk of changing the way we played and relying on our younger players. They ran out of patience with that and sacked the manager while appointing someone who was the complete antithesis of the new approach.
That decision had some sense to it though because we were struggling, but this is ridiculous. Steve Morison was given the chance to put together his own squad over the summer and bought completely into a new approach to the extent that, as someone who was completely in favour of a change of style, even I thought he had gone a bit too far.
Presumably, when you consider that Morison was given £1.5 million to spend on a new player on the last day of the window, the Board and owner were fully behind what Morison was doing?
This squad will not be able to go back to lumping it like we’ve been doing for nearly all of Vincent Tans time here - actually, I’ll change that to say they can try to lump it, but they’ll be absolute crap at it.
I honestly cannot believe this sacking and if they think that good quality managers won’t look at it and think that club’s not for me, the people in charge are even more out of touch than I thought they were - we’ll probably end up drawing a game somewhere along the way and so they’ll give the job to Mark Hudson.
Shocking. Absolutely ridiculous.
What a joke of a club we are. We deserve relegation.

I was not in favour of Morison in the first place BUT this does not seem like a level-headed decision. It's seems a bit heat of the moment.
Fickle fans eh, who would have thoughtQuote:

We did need improvement, but this decision is unbelievable.
Bloody hell! Results have been shaky but I was happy with the type of football he was getting us to play.
Poor decision by the board.
Proper banter club.
You let the guy change the style while having to bring in a new squad with very little transfer budget.
One thing if we had someone lined up but you just know we haven't.
Will we keep going with the aim of improving our style, or go back to a dinosaur?
as someone has already said it's all about results. Boro first half was excellent and sadly it didn't continue.
Knowing us over recent times - a dinosaur. Inevitable. Such a strange decision. He has his faults, and he’s not the most likeable guy, but surely you have to give things more time. How many of the 17 will the new manager ‘rate’. And so here we go again……Quote:

Agree with the last bit, and the negative comments about Rubin post his wales goal always rankled with me, but just the haste of the call today is the great surprise.Quote:

I’m really unhappy about this because it shows that the senior managers are clueless when it comes to long term planning and I fear that we’ll be given a fix-it manager to make sure we stay in this division, reverting to hoofball.
I don’t think we’re in danger of going down, though. Realistically, this was always going to be a season of bedding in and it’s only September!
I was going to buy tickets for the Burnley match, but I’m going to hold off, because if it is hoofball manager, then I’ll hang in to my money.
Club’s a joke, mun. 😠
Too soon for Bellamy?
We play Burnley next, he can have his job interview on the pitchside. :hehe:Quote:

I don't think it would be too soon, i just don't think that the club would go for him, although i have no evidence to say why they wouldn't, so who knows!Quote:

I doubt if anyone saw that coming. It is a very odd decision given the manager has had to create a new team from nothing and, although the results haven't been great, at least the football hasn't been too bad. I can't remember a stranger sacking. We are fast becoming clones of Watford.
Something must have happened
This is not a footballing reason surely we were making progress
Well it's been made now so onwardsQuote:

Bar a 45 minute blip at Boro, which he clearly fixed at half time, we've been totally clueless since playing Birmingham at home.
The kids coming through from last season have nearly all been discarded again and while the new style is easier on the eye I couldn't figure out what the actual plan was.
He turned us into chronic time wasters whenever we weren't losing away. We've lost every game we've gone behind in so this team lacks bottle. Also whenever given more than a few days to prepare we lost.
The right call imo. Didn't think they had it in them to be decisive over his lack of ability showing through and the fact he was a risk this season. That doesn't mean they will get the next appointment right either but something had to be done.
I've never subscribed to the view that he was building a team, I've always felt it was like watching an episode of faking it.
I'd also add this: Rubin Colwill has gone backwards. Robert Page can't be happy with the way Morison has handled the Welsh players bearing in mind Wales are at their first WC since 1958. Compare Harris, Davies and Colwill to other Welsh players at other clubs and the way they are used.
I'm glad to see the back of him.
If we just give a manager 9 or 10 games with a squad he's built from scratch himself, how long do they give his replacement with the same players?
Something tells me we do the know the whole story as this seems a very snap decision.
You may have a point , he doesn't suffer fools .. perhaps he was questioned by owner or board and he simply said I can't build with no fecking money or backing... done what's asked of me cleared out the overpaid dross and now ?? I need backing ..Quote:

I always got the impression it was just a matter of time with Morison, I didn't see him lasting the season and though I'm surprised he's gone this early, I'm not particularly disappointed
Who do you think will realistically want to come here - we are a complete mind fxxk at the momentQuote:
