I'll back anyone who's chosen.
Challinor, Buckingham, Evatt, Wellens or Elphick would all be interesting choices

Jones
We will probably have more of an idea after the league 1 play off final. If Charlton get promoted we can cross off Nathan Jones.. If they lose he'll be a definite contender
5. Ian Rush
he got 87 points with Bolton last season, and scored 86 goals in the process.Quote:

Has 2 promotions and a minor cup win on his CV and lost in the playoff final last season.
there's every chance he could be terrible here, or he could be just what we need.
Robbie Keane now rumoured on Twitter.
I hope not: Limited experience of the sort we seem to need next season, gathered a lot of baggage from his stint coaching in Israel, assistant to 'Mad Mick' for Ireland and 'Big Sam' for Leeds. On the other hand his playing record, style and approach might be the secret to unlocking the too much hidden talent of Rubin Colwill!Quote:

Just read a Tweet by Dafydd Pritchard of the BBC saying City are “hoping” to make a managerial appointment by the end of May - Gerrard and Beale not being considered apparently.
The people who are in charge of the recruitment are very, very bad at their job.Quote:

It is a complete mystery as to why we got relegated...Quote:

My head says, Rambo has no experience, so we need someone who has, Rubén did wonders at reading with zero money, he was smashing it and was a hero for them ( till he ditched them, now hated with a passion ) it might not work, as we already have a Rubes, but if Colwill is sold, at least I can continue to annoy Tuerto :thumbup: Rubés it is then :hehe:
I must be missing something with the Selles.....Reading had a spell but were mid-table, they are still one of the big teams in that (our) division then there's Hull.
Malky had a season in the championship and brought his recruitment and coaching team, so in essence, an old school general manager, Warnock did what Warnock does, but let most of the sessions be taken by his trusted assistants, so again, an old school general manager. The problem is when they are sacked, you gut the structure unless you create the structure, and the head coach is just that, the head coach. But they need a mr Cardiff City person who doesn't get sacked every six months to run the club.
Tan won't do it, so i would go Nathan Jones on a very long no clauses deal and ride the wave.
I have 3 managers I don’t want
Beale is number 1 I don’t want
Closely followed by Evatt
Then Steve Morrison
Those 3 are tw@ts
Rob Edwards for me or Selles
Ramsey is nowhere near ready
Nathan Jones would be bonkers but that could go horribly wrong or magnificently right - I’m not sure if there is an in between with him
It’ll be somebody from left field probably anyways
As long as he just says yes to Tan that’s the job spec I believe
I went for Kloop
I get where you're coming from, and I agree that appointing someone purely because they came through our academy or because they're Welsh shouldn't be the deciding factor. But I also think it's unfair to dismiss Ramsey just because of that connection.Quote:

It’s true that he lacks experience, but not every inexperienced candidate is doomed to fail—though, admittedly, we’ve seen our fair share of flops.
The flip side is just as daft: ruling someone out because they’re local or came through the academy. That kind of thinking is just as blinkered. Ultimately, the decision should be based on merit, not nostalgia or prejudice.
That said, my biggest concern isn’t Ramsey—it’s whether the people running the club are capable of making a sound, football-based decision in the first place.
