Beale might have more street cred than BBM. Christ alive...
Brian Barry-Murphy was touted for the Cardiff manager's job a few years ago when he had just left Rochdale.
At the time I preferred him to any of the other options on the bookies lists.
He seemed to be a top coach - but with a short and mixed managerial career. A gamble.
He is even more of a gamble for us in the position we are now in. Any appointment will be a gamble but - although it could work out - I want Tan to opt for someone with experience of the fight we are facing to get back to the Championship, and a record that gives us some confidence he knows what he is doing!
The fact that the 3 (or 4) candidates on the final short list have clearly been interviewed and now recommended to VT indicates that wellens and jones are not included - as preparing for play off final. Could be wrong but doubt it. Hugely disappointing for me. I was really hoping that we would go and get whichever one lost and that was why the process was slower than some would have liked. But looks like money is talking again and another cheap option is incoming. Still hope I’m pleasantly surprised - but doubt it.
Brian Barry-Murphy from nowhere is odds on fav. Never heard of him. Ramsey 2nd fav. Evatt and Buckingham drifting to 8-1.
Barry-Murphy has drifted slightly in the betting. Did go to 1-2 , Now evens. Bit of money on Buckingham and hes 5-1 now Ramsey 6-1 Evatt 8-1.
The betting is probably changing to flutters of bets and in the know wannabes with daft my mate knows blah blah blah and hes got the job rumours.
Looks though that no decision is made and it's a wide open battle between out of work managers.

Do you follow his tweets?Quote:

Think that's all bases covered for him there!
No mention of Osian Roberts !
Perfect with Ramsey as his helper
I think it’s been pretty obvious over the past two or three years that Paul Abbandonato has been fed information by someone high up at the club. I believe that those four names are on the list of names Tan has been given to consider.Quote:

We can rub Nathan Jones of the list then.
Who do you want? Nobody is going to drop down a division to manage usQuote:

If we get Murphy, maybe he can ask Pep for a goalkeeper. That's a priority
I think Alnwick is a more than adequate L1 keeper.Quote:

We certainly need a few who can battle rather than bottle, if we keep most of the squad from last season, our most important acquisition is going to be a bigger physio dept.Quote:

I agree we need leaders and players who will battle plus pace.Quote:

Maybe 3 or 4 sales and those out of contract leaving.
We need a manager in quickly now as we need to rebuild this team/squad.
I agree with you but that's not what you said?Quote:

I mentioned Edwards in both posts and Challinor is currently employed. Neither would be amongst the cheaper options IMO as one has recently been employed at a higher level and is currently out of work but used to higher wages and the second would involve us paying compensation to their current club. As I said initally we are going for cheaper options.Quote:

This, for me, is the single biggest reason why Riza failed and we got relegated. Spent most of the time "playing in boxes", switching formations, and trying to show the world what a progressive coach he was when we should have been going back to basics and doing the simple things right to try and win points.Quote:

It’s only at Cardiff where you go from having a squad of big, technically limited, long ball orientated, physical battlers with a fetish for set pieces that were moderately successful, but getting worse through the full 180 degrees to arrive at being precious, “after you”, bottlers, capable of occasionally playing “nice” football, who are a soft touch at set pieces and generally lack the strength to fight their way out of a wet paper bag without thinking to stop off somewhere in between those two complete contrasts.Quote:

Our problem has been we've just relied on a single speed merchant, rather than having 3-4 seriously fast players in the team together.
For Riza add Bulut and Ramsey. The club and it's recruitment appear to have deliberately moved from bringing in the pragmatic, industrious and strong player that formed the cornerstone of City's squad for several years. Ironically, just as the club is making a concerted effort to be as delightfully pattern-weaving as possible, the football world has started to return to a more direct, counter-attacking culture with speed and strength at the core.Quote:

I know that you're dead against Des Buckingham, But he's had an intereting career to date, did really well in New Zealand across all age groups nationally and at club level. And he's got a 1980s self employed Driving instructors name, what's not to like :thumbup:Quote:

That requires coaching players to think critically and assess each situation on its merit, as opposed to playing like a robot in a system. And it seems like modern coaches don't want to do that, because they see Vincent Kompany landing the Bayern job even though his team got relegated.
As Dyche said, if I was an owner and I asked a potential coach what his philosophy is, the only answer I'd be looking for is a simple one: to win.
He also turned Josh Murphy's career aroundQuote:

We are probably going cheap. He may get it. If he does lets hope he is a good coach who Oxford were foolish to let go.
Otherwise Tuertos mate may get his wish and it will Ramasut to get his chance in November.🤣
Looks like Plymouth losing their manager. They will still hire a new one before us.
He wasn't bad actually, I'd take him here. Rooney was the problem at Plymouth.Quote:

The 10-1 on Evatt has gone.
Latest Barry-Murphy evens
Buckingham 2-1
Evatt 7-2
Ramsey 8-1
Based off what the League 1 playoffs showed, the drop off in standard is monumental.Quote:
