Evatt is a really spiky character. He falls out with lots of people, including fans, players, journos etc. I really can't see it being a great fit.

For what it's worth, we don't just need to revamp the recruitment team. We need more medical staff, more recruitment staff, more coaches etc. We've had too many injuries, too many injury set backs, signed too many duds and literally nobody gets better. It is a complete mystery as to why we got relegated...
My heart says, lets go with Rambo, let him get a decent team in, I guess Gunts will be involved and see where it goes, they will be passionate about the job ( they both love city ) Rambo must have picked up something from the coaches he has worked with, Arsène was pretty decent, he has done his badges, why not let him have a go
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.
When I backed him (and Gunter) after those three games in charge, it wasn’t out of sentimentality. I genuinely thought they showed signs of forming a decent partnership, even with the unbalanced squad we had. The results weren’t ideal, granted, but I saw enough to believe there was potential there. 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.
