Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
The only reason his name gets mentioned is cause Newport are down the road from us.

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
And so it begins.
Kevin Ellison first signing.

Saved them from relegation. Finished in the top ten season upon season. Twice in the playoffs. Cup runs, multiple giant killings....... on no budget what so ever.
I don't whether it's ignorance or bitterness sometimes.
He might not be your cup of tea, but he deserves way more credit than people give him on here.

We'd get more minutes out of him than Tomlin

In league 2...
Sure he's done well there but like I've said, the only reason he gets brought up here is because we are close to Newport. He's failed to get them promoted twice, why does that deserve a championship job?

Ha very true … I’ve heard Chris Houghton is available :hehe:

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
Errol? He we get us playing in a more swashbuckling style.

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
It's his last game for newport on Saturday.
So omens are strong that he comes here

Newport County manager Mike Flynn is set to leave the club after Saturday's League Two game at home to Scunthorpe.

No Brains SA for the players at full time, if they hadn't pulled their fingers out!

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
The thought of Flynn being available after the weekend is really worrying.
Surely they wouldnt.
-
Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
Errol Flynn would be a good choice ,bit cock sure lad , he knows all about long
-
Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
The fact he's left Newport, going off past appointments and us being in the predicament we are, he's 💯 coming to Cardiff.

For all of the reasons I have previously mentioned.
Why wouldn't he deserve a chance ? 'Cause he's a manager in L2 ?
You say he failed to get them promoted but I think that when you consider he literally had no money to sign players, getting to the POs is more of a success than a failure. Logic would suggest that if he actually had some money he might be able to achieve even more.
It's obviously a risk. I hope he isn't out of his depth if he comes here. But if you're willing to give the likes of Harris, McCarthy, Trollope and Slade a chance at this level, I don't think it's madness to give MF a chance.
Like you said, he's done well.

Looking at the table Newport are bottom half League 2. I think he realises hes going nowhere there and better to leave before they sink lower.
I doubt an ambitious L1 club would want him maybe hes been tapped up by a L2 or National League club.
Hes done nothing to get a job for us. However im concerned slightly as hed be cheap and available.
Badly need 3 points now Saturday so Flynn ends up at somewhere like Tiverton Town or Yeovil before we look to employ someone.

Harris - Promoted from league 1, kept Millwall stable in this league for a couple of years
Mick - Come on, he’s far more experienced and travelled than Flynn will ever be.
Trollope and Slade, didn’t want either of them, Slade couldn’t get promoted from the lower leagues so I don’t know how he ended up getting the job. I’d rather we stay away from appointments like that
Logic wouldn’t suggest he’d work well with more money. Look at Warnock, his best signings were free transfers, the minute he was given money he blew it. Do you honestly think any other championship club would give him a ring? He’s getting another league 2 job, a championship job would be lunacy.
And yes he doesn’t deserve a chance because he’s a league 2 manager. It’s a completely different level to us and he’s failed (yes failed, Morecombe don’t have a pot to piss in either) to get out of there twice. Let another league 2 club have him and we can make a serious appointment when Mick ****s off

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
Slades CV coming here is better than Flynns.

I'd rather us take a risk and punt on Flynn or another potential good manager rather than the same old dinosaurs that have been doing the rounds for years.

To be fair, Newport were cheated out of promotion last season
I'd hope we set our sights a little higher for our next manager though

I agree mate but now look at who runs our club and will be making the ultimate decision. We're dooooooomed

I'm ambivalent about Flynn. But I'm leaning towards this.

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
He has done a good job at Newport in difficult circumstances but not good enough to get a job at a championship club. That said I think he would do a better job than MM is at the moment. Would prefer either giving Morrison a short term go to see what he can do or Chris Wilder.

MF not good enough for a championship job but Morison is worth a pop ?
C'mon fella.

Apparently, Sol Bamba, having never managed a game at any level is somehow worth a pop too.

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
I don't think it matters whether Flynn has won a promotion or not, neither do I have a problem that he's never managed higher than league 2. Without doubt County have overachieved with Flynn in charge and have been desperately unlucky in two playoff finals. Newport have never lacked bottle for the big occasion and have always been well motivated. From the outside looking in the club has appeared to be closely knit and team spirit has been high. It's also my opinion that Flynn speaks well and has shown himself to be very knowledgeable about the game.
Managers have to start somewhere. Similarly old experienced heads lose their way. Some fans look at promotion winning managers, say Wilder and Hughton, yet how many would recommend Warnock and Mackay? There are plenty of top managers who have failed at clubs, yet done brilliantly elsewhere.

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
No manager with any ambition is coming here… which means we’ll get another dud.
I can see the job Ad now.
Puppet Needed: Must be used to working with….
Clueless interference from above, a level of future investment almost certain to be next to nothing, a squad full of NFL punters…
If I can’t get at all enthused about the team I’ve supported for 40+ years what chance has an ambitious, progressive manager got to be enthused about with that as the job Ad
Currently we’re a Championship club by name and recent history only
-
Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
Slade gets a lot of crap but he was Mick the first time round. Cutting the squad to bare bones and got us an 8th placed finish.
As for the OP.
Flynn? No.
About as many credentials as Solskjaer has for being United manager but having not played for us.

Help an old man with his memory, but didn't he have an interview along with Alan Shearer?

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
He's spent the last few weeks blaming his own players in the press for their poor form, players he signed mind.
Mr Newpart Cwenty the self confessed Liverpool fan.
No thanks.
-
Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?
I think it's also worth mentioning that when I went to watch Cwenty a few weeks ago, it was ....believe it or not.... a far far worse spectacle than anything I've seen at City this year. So if we were taking a gamble on a manager I'd at least want the entertainment factor raised a bit.

Houghton? Why do people call him Houghton?
