I wonder if our new manger will last longer than Watford’s new manager, could be an exciting race.
Time for Gareth Bale (player manager) with Chris Gunter as assistant and Craig Bellamy as motivational coach.Quote:

Continuity would be good and it’s a shame not to have that but that easy option clearly wasn’t thought to be the right option.
We do need to move quickly.
Would I have Warnock back. Reluctantly yes for one more season if it brought stability, survival and revival.

Lamouchi appointed - people moan. Lamouchi got rid of - people moan. Bamba comes in as coach - people moan. Bamba possibly leaves - people moan. Bamba mentioned as a possible replacement for Lamouchi - people moan. Good god is all I can say.
I’m not sure if going well is the correct term? We’ve sold nearly 6k I believe. Not bad, sure. But not good.Quote:

If the club make the right appointment then it actually could be a boost to ST sales. But that remains to be seen.
The one thing that Warnock would not bring if he came for a season, is stability.Quote:

Bamba is not a Manager, why would any club appoint an ex player with no experience for a Managers job?Quote:

Only Warnock, he mostly picks people who've not managed it's absolutely mental.Quote:

Big fan of Bamba but another season of zero continuity going into a new season with the cheapest gamble. No doubt bringing some randoms in on frees who the next Manager that gets appointed in October doesn't want.
Lamouchi deserved a chance to build after staying up, did a decent job in a tough situation. I think he will be one of those people who pops up somewhere to take 3 points at the CCS.
If hes gone because they have better lined up and werent impressed with results/performances then fair enough.
If Its because they couldn't agree to his wishes then we are probably in deep shit. And lets face it thats almost certainly whats happened.
of course hes gone... what did anyone expect
8-10 players to go out... 8-10 L1-L2 players on free something or others to come in
no money to spend... cant fault lamo if he never even sat down to any talks... we are just another awful club with hoards of managers who come and go
People moan. dml1954 moans about people moaning. Good God is all I can say.Quote:

I agree. But what worries me is that probably isnt the reason hes not our manager next season.Quote:

Their next appointment may be a disaster, but Lamouchi may also have been a disaster next season. I wouldn’t have been comfortable going into 23/24 with a manager who brought about little or no improvement in 22/23.Quote:

Do you honestly believe there's a glimmer of hope that will happen.Quote:

He may not be the best man for the job, but I for one will be very surprised if we appoint someone better.
I think there is hope we can get someone better. But if as I suspect we couldnt agree terms with Lamouchi I worry about our budget and plans and who we can attract.Quote:

Im not bothered about Lamouchi its more the fact that I reckon we couldnt get him so what sort of budget are we working with.
I think we're not far off the same opinion. I'd have rathered stuck with Lamouchi because I've got no doubt whatsoever we will go for worse. The only difference is that you have hope. I'm not sure at this point what gives you that, but hats off to you :)Quote:

Clearly Sabri told Tan what was needed and Tan said 'can't afford it'.....I cannot think of anyone who is available that I would want...certainly not Nathan Jones...nor Lampard...Gerrard etc if if Tan decided he wanted them and would pay......a great shame they missed out on Rob Edwards.
Probably only Tony Mowbray might be ok if Sunderland decided on a change as rumoured.
Watford are largely successful. We aren't.Quote:

Still, we staved off relegation this season. Next season might be the horror of horrors.
On the nose.Quote:

What the club cannot afford to happen is to have three managers in a season once again, we are becoming something of an embrassment, Tan's record of hiring and firing combined with interference is not helping matters one bit.
I awit DML's upbeat take on things... next stop the Champions League no doubt!!
I'm still puzzled as to why any talks took place. We are told that Tan believed Lamouchis time was up anyway and discussions didn't even get around to a budget. Wouldn't an email have done the job?Quote:

How can anyone who is a fan of Cardiff City say something like this ?Quote:
