Well, I don't mind being the odd one out. I'm used to it. I like him. :hide:
Agree, just comes across as the cheap almost easy option. Like when we oddly signed their keeper.Quote:

I feel like I’ve predicted the right and wrong choice for managers and when they should have been sacked and feel I’d have been right every time since Dave Jones and I think most fans feel the same with just basic logic. Only one I think I’d have made a mistake on was Malky.
Or even Errol. :hehe:Quote:

Reminds me how we all knew it was going to be Harris despite no one wanting him and it still took them weeks.
The problem with taking weeks to appoint a replacement (even though that does make sense), is that we all spend that time reading about all the possibles and getting excited about the prospect of a young, up and coming manager to finally overhaul our style of play.
Appointing the former manager of our nearest "rivals" from 2 leagues below us after all that would be a huge anticlimax. The next boss needs more support from day 1 than MM had, and I don't think Flynn would.
Tell me how Flynn cost Newport the playoff finals?Quote:

I have no idea. I don't watch Newport. He may have been really unlucky but factually speaking, he was manager of two finals and he lost two finals.Quote:

He shouldnt be near the betting let alone 2nd fav.
Have to admit, I didn't watch it, but weren't they also on the wrong end of two dreadful refereeing decisions?Quote:

If you cant score in 120 minutes against garbage like Morecambe though you dont deserve promotion. Both sides were utter shite.
I can't say i know much regarding Flynn or Newport but going from what i've been told by Newport fans i have spoken to he's done well under tough circumstances
What cash has Flynn had to spend at Newport? Does he play hoof ball or encourage it to be passed on the floor?
Fair enough.Quote:

Either someone has had a massive bet on Flynn or an announcement is imminent 🤔
Surely watching just the one match, and on TV at that, you can't make a fair call on the way Flynn's Newport sides play. Have you seen them play live? I must have been to about 20 or so matches over the years and they've played some really good football. I get you don't want him but are you really being objective?Quote:

I don't know whether he'll cut it with us but I do know I'd prefer him over Harris or McCarthy. I just think if he does get selected, then get behind him. It's like we're on self-destruct as Cardiff fans sometimes. Nothing is good enough and no-one is good enough.
What, for sure, isn't good enough, is eight successive defeats with another one on the cards tomorrow.
I'm not having a go nor am I championing Flynn, but surely we need to look at where we are in the table and that's been as a result of Warnock, Harris & McCarthy. It's not Mike Flynn's fault is it?
Obviously the last question in my post was rhetorical and tongue-in-cheek, just in case anyone's confused!
No its not Flynns fault.Quote:

Id be seriously pissed off if we appointed Flynn but would hope he could prove me wrong.
It's really odd.Quote:

We're appointing your previous manager
We're appointing your previous manager
Newport County
We're appointing your previous manager
I feel your despair, I really do. Tuerto mentioned the other day in thread something which resonated with me and it was 'play the ball not the man'. I feel the board is the ball and any manager they appoint is (obviously) the man. I mentioned in another thread about my feelings re. selecting any manager by our board.Quote:

That's the fairest any of us could be I think Stan :thumbup:Quote:

Trouble is our lot will offer him a two year contract after a couple of wins.
Not seen enough to comment about the football but as a personality he has always seemed like somebody would be perfect with Cardiff.
Does this always matter?Quote:

Let's face it, no-one would care if County were based in the midlands, he had a couple of good cup runs, two failures in the playoffs and a couple of bottom half finishes, there's a good reason he's not odds on at any other champ club so I don't know why we should lower our expectations so much.Quote:

Russell Slade got a better Managerial record than Flynn and our fanbase were largely furious with his appointment. If Flynn gets the job, I think most of our support will get behind him. Bizarre!
