The manager situation - one thing's become clear now.

I can’t remember a single goal we conceded being down to us playing out from the back - albeit we did less and less of it as the season went on.

I think the club is trying to accommodate Bamba in the next coaching set up, maybe Whitehead as well (contract also up in June).
Morison is supposed to have been a Tan thing, but the reports are that others involved in advising Tan (presumably Choo and Dalman) have been trying to talk him out of it.
The trouble is that these are commercially sensitive discussions and whilst it’s boring as hell waiting to hear (I’m constantly looking everywhere for something), all we can do is sit and wait.

I accept I could make myself look even sillier here but for me morison appointed would be a million to one bet.

As in it just isn't going to happen. I can't see any way that happens. Rhys Griffiths won cymru premier manager of season for penybont. That's also about a million to one but I'd say he's more likely than morison.

Not saying he’d be anything like my first choice, but why are so many on here dead set against Sol Bamba getting the job?

Because of trollope morison and hudson I'd guess.

Not personal against bamba but it would be an unbelievably lazy appointment. What other championship club would consider giving him a managers job at this stage?

being reported we are looking at some US based managers - I wonder who that might be

We have maybe/probably the worst squad in the league , have a part transfer embargo and Sol has no experience in management and we have no idea on his coaching ability.

Its going to be a huge task to stay up next season. Employing a novice manager/coach is asking for trouble. Especially with what is a sub standard coaching team behind him.

Id rather him than Steve Morison though.( im really hoping that hes been talked about because of in the knowers being wrong). Id like to say our club arent stupid enough to appoint Morison but I cant.

I feel the same about Bamba as I did about Hudson - both good captains, good professionals, good guys, and potentially good coaches or assistants, but not management material.

Bob Bradley is actually a decent manager, despite his time at the Jacks.

did very well at LAFC (who Tan used to have a stake in) got them playing a high energy high pressing style.

Also his successor Steve Cherundolo is pretty well regarded.

MLS is garbage. The standard is abysmal. Bradley is an awful manager, the Swansea players laughed at him as his methods were so out of date. He is terrible.

Based on the last 5(?) appointments, I’d be against anyone Tan picks as manager :hehe:

Seriously though, this is an enormous job and it’ll be too big for a rookie manager. It was way too big for Morison and Hudson. Bamba would be on a hiding to nothing. We need a more experienced coach who can get the best out of the players.

He never came across the brightest when he used to be on Sky. Also the way he tried to make the club out to be the bad guys running to the media to try and keep his name relevant “I found out on twitter I was being released” it was pathetic especially when it later turned out MM had told him and of course the clue is if your out of contract and you don’t have a new contract infront of you.

I don’t think he comes across as very nice person to be honest, I don’t think he’s as nice as the persona the media try to present.

I think he comes across quite well, especially considering English is not his first language

I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him

To be fair, nobody really knows if Bamba would be any good. Giving him a first job with myriad issues would be very, very risky.

I hated Warnock's football passionately (and this isn't a LR solution) but if it was a matter of maximizing the chance of staying up through the embargo, Warnock must be one of the best bets.

You don’t think the contract stuff is poor form? I don’t doubt for a moment the club would have ballsed it up. We stayed up 4 weeks ago and still don’t have a manager and Mick is a total bellend.

What for the manager to tell a player he is being released? I would say that’s normal? Not sure why he felt he needed a call from the chairman. Also the clue to him being released (and it’s a big clue) is that he didn’t have a new contract, I can only assume or hope he did his media to get some attention and isn’t that stupid.

Re the manager or cause the club are going to balls it up.

He's never said anything insightful and comes across as a lovely bloke but with no more knowledge or right to be a Manager than any other player in the current squad. Why is he even being considered, you might as well tout Joe Bennett or Lee Tomlin it makes about as much sense they are all ex-players with feck all experience who should never have ever been considered.

We need a MANAGER not just anyone who played for Cardiff City.

Footballers are trained to say nothing. That’s the gig. I don’t know why anyone expects them to give the game away in interviews. He’s being linked because he is already here. He won’t get the job, mind.

The good ones do, Bellamy comes across as an expert compared to most, some study the game and are born Coaches/Managers, but most just give it a go and hope they can either learn it on the job or blag their way through for a few years.

The more I think of it my choice for manager would be Warnock. He knows the Championship and as long as there is no transfer budget (which there isn't) his record of signing loan players is good. He would be far better than some of the others being mentioned especially as we now seem to be looking overseas for people who are unlikely to have much knowledge of the type of players we need.

Yes with Dave Jones as his assistant and Malky as the coach, that should piss most of the board off :hehe:

According to the other message board, Morison is out of the equation and it will be a foreign Manager.

Thanks for that. Always good to get the inside track!

I just hope that revelation wasn't phoned in!

By the way... which 'other message board'? ****? OOCC? or something else?


[Edit: Why does AA MB without a gap default to ****?]

Name someone better then.

Critchley back as Blackpool manager.

Wilder still favourite for Reading job.

The shine has gone off a few Championship hot properties!

Neil Critchley's just returned to Blackpool less than a year after he resigned to be Gerrard's assistant at Villa. Still not as weird as Morison 8 months after being sacked would be though.

It looks like after 6 posts that thread on the other board has concluded that Dalman is positioning himself to buy the club 👍 but always with the caveat that things can change obviously

Wilder surely has to be considered if he’s thinking of Reading. Compared to Morison and bloody Bamba.

No news could well be a blessin in disguise

But can the players afford these days to pay over a slice of their appearance money in exchange for team selection?
