That last drop of enthusiasm has now drained away.
I dont have to mindlessly praise the club to support them. Everything the club have done since our promotion in 17/18 has shown how poorly we are run. MM doesn't take the blame for that but we can certainly be dismayed at the club's actions.Quote:

I wonder if we'll ever find out who applied.
If there were any applications from the spectres of dictators, I hope we at least considered interviewing them FFS!Quote:

It's been a hard road to where we are and this back sliding MUST be stopped before it becomes irreversible. That's the priority now and that's why we need someone like MM.
That's realism. I'd love to see a flash monkey manager playing artistic football but after giving NH his head we've lost a lot of ground and if we're not careful we could soon be having our local derby's with Newport County.
We can't even afford 3 or 4 games to pass without anyone in charge, so that's why we need a PROFESSIONAL now.
Not quite as stark as it seems though. MM has got some great players and rescources at his disposal here which have been wasted
( with respect ) under NH. It's very likely that he can almost immediately use them to get results rather than near misses.
Our players are as good as any team in the championship and if they're given a clear idea of what they're trying to do then that might be the missing ingredient. If we resist the fanciful ideas of what some inspiring figure like Craig B MIGHT do, this would be a sensible appointment.
It is what it is
Eddie Howe would have been great , Bellamy who knows
What we don't want to be doing is following Leeds , Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday into league one
They are big clubs are were always and will always claw their way back
If we go into free fall playing boring route one football will be the least of our worries
Up the City
I tend to agreeQuote:

Not an entirely unsurprising appointment given the recent track record of the club. Short-termism, with lengthy contracts, feels the order of the day down Sloper Road. Still, it is what it is, as a city fan I wish him all the best and will support the team as per.
Must say, if you were a young south Walian football fan coming of age over the last decade, without a particular attachment to Cardiff itself, a ticket down the Liberty must look better vfm than one down the CCS.
Or conversely, save us from relegation and then get us promoted to the Premier League the season after.Quote:

Well said. Some people on here need to get over themselves. Small minded people who have nothing better to do than criticise anything the club does. People who wouldn't be happy at anything less than the appointment of someone like Pochettino although god help him if we actually lost a game while he was in charge. My suggestion ? - if you are all actually that upset by it all, stop ‘supporting’ the club and don't go to games - you wont be missed.Quote:

Imagine wanting the club you support to show some ambition and do well... shocking premise, isn't it?Quote:

Why couldn't we have just gone with Paul Cook? It seems that would have been an easy hire, and I think it would be a much more popular and prudent choice than McCarthy. Probably less expensive too. Paul Cook is on the way up. McCarthy is in decline. This is another Warnockesque quick-fix. Exactly what we don't need.
Hardly inspirational or progressive but still not as completely underwhelming as Harris' appointment.Quote:

But at least the club did the right thing in making the change and McCarthy is clearly a decent bloke, and far more likely to succeed than Harris.
I can't see the appointment sparking a rush on season ticket sales though.
Anyway, good luck Mick, as always. Please make the football just a little bit interesting.
better punt than Pulis or even Sparky ??[/QUOTE]
Ab-so-f*cking-lutely. Jeez the thought of either of those two at the club sends shivers down my spine
Well said.Quote:

What do we do when we've been around all the old "jobs for the boys" managers and all the new managers coming through won't touch us with a bargepole because there's no youth team here and we are just buying players the wrong side of 30 with a team that needs ripping up and starting again?
Let's stop going through managers that aren't really going to take us anywhere, at best we might go up or challenge for promotion but we'll never stay up and the cycle continues.
I've finally cracked with Tan and his band of merry ****ing idiots. He's got to go because nothing really changes, there's no plan or idea it's just "oh let's swap managers again and hope that works" which in this day and age is truly pathetic.
He won't last 6 games never mind 6 months. What a monumental waste of ****ing time.
Have to agree with pretty much all of this. We are so reactive as a football club its unbelievable.Quote:

THAT is the issue for me. We aren't going anywhere.
MM like Harris is probably a lovely guy, I don't want a lovely guy I want a football club with ambition that's actually ****ing TRYING to go somewhere.
It beggars belief. He's obviously no mug, but he's inexperienced when it comes to football do I can't understand for the life of me why he doesn't have someone with a football brain running things.Quote:

Going round in circles now.
Not sure if a lot of the toddler style tantrums on here are sarcasm or not, but I feel McCarthy is a steady pair of hands, even if it's just short term.
He likes us too. He'll genuinely want to do a good job, and therefore has my backing.
Welcome Mick, get the boys energised.
