McCarthy has, by and large, united the fan base.
Still a few sludge and dml types to convert. But yes, by and large.
I havent wanted a manager out more.
Do Sludge and DML want him to stay?
His decision to play five at the back again has catapulted him into the worst manager I've seen in the 30 years I've supported the club.
Well either we are going to look at MMs time at Cardiff City from day one or we are going to look at the period when he went for that 5 across the back .
Clearly it didn't work yet he continued with it so even those of us who don't spend our lives slagging off the manager realised it was time to go
Sludge is more interested in the back catalogue of Tank than the defensive set ups of MM
Players are also to blame most definitely.
But it really all comes back to MM's negativity, players out of position, dropping young players at half time when really no one was playing well.
We have been raising the white flag an hour before ko and its baffling.
It can't be a happy place.
I didn't want him in the first place.
I was gutted when got the job permanently.
I'm just Facking livid now joke of a club.
I've been consistent in my dislike of him, I understand people giving the manager a chance and can't knock that line of thinking, but I just couldn't see what he had to offer and didn't want him from day one as apart from a purple patch I couldn't see what he was going to bring us. I don't care about being right, I'm just pissed off we got him and then ended up sticking by him with a new contract. It was a disaster waiting to happen, and more sideways thinking from the club.
100 percent it was. I didn't think Harris was the right man at first but after time I started to give him a chance, I haven't even been able to do that little for McCarthy because he's offered nothing.
And liken you say, it was an opportunity for us to make changes, but now we are set even further back.
It frustrates me because as we saw with NW staying, it wasn't the right call and it set us back, we got deeper into Warnock ball and his players are engrained even deeper into the club making it harder for us to make changes to the playing team and overall style. That was a few years ago, we are even deeper in now, and further away. Frustrates me because people saying "get behind the team and manager" may be right, but they don't understand that I'm frustrated because I DO want what's best for the team and I do want to support the team but I'm pissed off at what's happening in front of our own eyes.
So you're happy to look at McCarthy's record from day one. Fair enough. By your own admission, playing 5 at the back has been a mistake.
So if it doesn't work, how many more attempts has McCarthy got to get it to work, based on his initial successes after he took over? If the answer is zero, then you can't be happy with MM playing 5 centre backs. Otherwise, you are happy for him to keep giving 5 centre backs a go.
Our Neil as very good at engaging the communities of Wales carrying out chats all over the valleys , and yes when he came in the fan base was not as one he did remarkably well ,same type of physical no nonsense teams added to was pace and skill on the break their lies the difference I guess , halcyon days , loved that promotion year against the odds ,great team spirit ,some good goals crowds bouncing with noise , one of the best for me .
I’m another one who was very disappointed when he was brought in and tampin’ when they gave him a 2 year contract. At the time, a significant amount of posters were quite happy because he’d almost got to the playoffs, but in reality, he’d overachieved - same with Harris.
It’s since the new contract that the team’s performance has slid. In fact, I said months ago that he’d be out by Christmas.
How was he ever going to be a long term solution for this club?
Well that's hindsight isn't it ?
There was enough to see that MM had made a difference with the resources he was given
Maybe a years contract would have been more appropriate , who knows
This season we got some points on the board early on but it's clear that the manager now has to go
People can say it should have been the west brom game
It doesn't really matter
Until the club is owned by a very rich cardiff city fan with his finger on the pulse then these decisions are in the hands of those who run Cardiff City
I thought the second goal away at Blackpool was everything I love about football , its a shame that we didn't see more of that
If you look back at this messageboard from when MM took over there were times when people were saying I was wrong about mick , OK its physical but we are dominant
If that approach had us in a top six position now then of course some people would have had questions about the playing style but there wasn't what was to come so it was accepted .
