This guy talks and talks and talks, and makes all sorts of claims week in, week out. How many of them prove to be accurate?Quote:

I can imagine the players week in week out saying to themselves 'this isn't working', but all Riza kept doing was change personnel every game in the hope it would. They may have had no strong views on him earlier on but in the last 3 months I'm betting they've collectively concluded he's utterly clueless and not worth respect..Quote:

on a positive note (I like to look at the positives) wherever we end up next season Mr Riza will not be at the helm.

i dont really give 2 shyts who comes in now, the players are just as much to blame, they have been shocking
wouldnt make a difference if warnock or alex fergusson walked in for the last few games... fkin ronaldo couldnt score a goal in this team
Wasn't he rumoured to have had a falling out with Bulut too?Quote:

LUMP ON!Quote:

There's nothing like expert opinion...Quote:

He left Ashford out for four or five games when he’d played a big part in bringing about the run of improved results only a few weeks earlier.Quote:

Who was responsible for Richard Shaw. Brought in as defensive coach. Our defence has been shambolic. A complete failure to have any sort of settled defence or partnerships.
Of course Shaw will have his version.
I'm not entirely sure why Purse gets stick either. I think the 'other board' had an agenda against him, because the U21s went through a really lean time under Purse's leadership in the early days.Quote:

The first was a game at Ninian Park, during which nothing was going right for him, he was playing as if his laces had been tied together.
Suddenly, we were awarded a penalty... Purse sprinted 40-50 yards, grabbed the ball and scored!
A lesser person would have shyed away from the responsibility. I think (I might be wrong) we won the game as a result of the penalty?
The second incident that got me liking him was when a rather overzealous referee instructed Purse to remove his wedding ring moments before kick-off. Even though the ring was taped up, the ref wasn't having it. Purse chose not to play, rather than take off his wedding ring. A man of true values and priorities in my opinion. I seem to recall he had the support of Dave Jones at that time.
A favourite son of Cardiff CityQuote:

The vitriolic stick he gets in some quarters baffles me, especially as he was someone who always gave his all when playing for us.
Stick for Purse, Ramusut and co is because we never see any evidence on the pitch of anything these guys have worked on during the week.Quote:

the Welsh rugby team are struggling right now, i'm pretty confident Darren Purse could coach them on how to tackle.
I'm not so sure.Quote:
