Comfortably Mid Table
Our best finish for several years
Some might say comfortably numb !
It's not exactly been liquid football for sure but he deserves another full year to see what sort of side he can shape
In reality it doesn't really matter what we all think it's pretty obvious he's going to be offered at least another season
Wether he takes it or wether people like that is another moot situation altogether

Re: Comfortably Mid Table
For me, this season feels like that situation you have at work when someone you know to have underwhelming management skills gets promoted to look after a project.
They pull a rabbit out of a hat to get the project done. Senior management are pleased and give them the bonus they promised.
Meanwhile, the team that worked on the project is in a mess: they have no idea what their role is, they have had no personal development and have gone backwards, several have become passengers because their opinion doesn't seem to matter. Other people in the organisation know that it's a team to avoid getting pulled into.
The next project they take on is an absolute disaster, and the manager blames the team.

Oh, and did I mention that the manager also brought in 2 or 3 people of his own who have proven to be mediocre too?

Hello, is that the internet police?

Re: Comfortably Mid Table
His fist season in foreign football he takes a squad that finished outside the relegation places thanks to a points deduction to a comfortable mid table finish.
Most points for several years.
Without much a striker.
Marquee signing injured most of the season.
Transfer embargo when he arrived.
I think he has done a terrific job.
Football hasn't been good but I've seen worse. If it doesn't improve then these are questions for next season.
You have to allow managers, coaches time to build relationships and allow for growth.
Or we can just rip it all up again and spin Tan's lucky roulette wheel.
I'd give him a 5 year deal just to see a few on here have a meltdown.

You will have to explain as your football knowledge is on the verge of complete collapse
We have had crap under your lover , Mad Mick .....Morison , Hudson , Allo Allo
Last season we would have been on the way to having local derbies with your boys at Merthyr if it hadn't been for a points reduction
Now we know you don't like any cardiff city managers , apart from mick but you are going to have to do better than this sonny

Whilst I wouldn't go that far ....but hypnotise JR Hartley into thinking bulut was here for a lifetime ......your points are very salient
Turnbull will take time to settle , Ramsey is crocked and finished , finding a decent striker is not easy
The also rans need to be moved on
But it's not like we are facing hell

I would say that his signings have been so so but that happens with lots of managers

7-1 yesterday . More entertainment in one game than a whole season down the CCS.
Some superb goals too, both collectively and individually.
Few beers on the terrace, you just can’t beat it.
Non league football is where it’s at, bollocks to the sterile basket case of a football club that Cardiff City has become.

You've got an overgrowth of stingies in your garden, do you rip them out while they're just towards the back of the garden in the grass area in the corner? Or are you going to let them settle for another year, taking over the whole lawn at the back and getting under the patio area making next summers simple rip out a lot more complicated snd harder work?

Weird reference, and works if you think our manager can only be a weed. I'd personally liken him to a rose, I want to let grow.
I'd now offer him a lifetime contract, it's only tans money anyway.

Like NinjanPark the Vetch was a proper football ground. Both were much better than the soulless bowls that replaced them.
That’s why I enjoy going to watch non league football, iit takes me back to a nostalgic place.

I agree....grounds are soulless these days....I am watching the Spurs/Arsenal game and for the life of me I could not imagine watching the game from the higher echelons. I've enjoyed more and more the lower league games I have watched this season - and far more honest.

It has changed a few times over the years, it was 4 years the first time we went up, diminishing year on year, then the second time we went up we only got 2 years.
It really is quite telling though that from 12/13 onwards we had 8 consecutive seasons in which we received premier league money in one way or another, but we ended up being significantly weaker following those 8 seasons than we were beforehand

In a similar vein to us, shît recruitment did it for you.

I also think that it's not easy to shift out some high wage earners, stopping you being able to bring in some players you'd like. There'll be some dead wood in a relegated side that you've either got to pay off or hope they do something for you in the lower division.

It's this run that's the problem 5,8,18,21 you'd expect 24 unless someone makes a huge difference.

I doubt it would make much difference. He had a three-year contract in his last job but only lasted 20 months.
