FFS, easy games he may get this gig by default.

Keep looking Tan and have a list of Managers about to be sacked and get in quick!
Failing that all these not bad on paper - Former Plymouth and Stoke manager Steven Schumacher, ex-Croatia boss Slaven Bilic, Charlton's Nathan Jones - a boyhood Bluebirds fan - and current Reading manager Ruben Selles have been linked with the role.
is Plymouth an easy game? I thought they'd picked up some good results recently
:hehe:
No one will be surprised. The board are giving him every chance because it's the easiest short term decision. Just happy to kick the problem down the road.
He shouldn’t be anywhere near a managerial job. Insane, really.
preferred Riza when he was in Wu Tang Clan..
City briefing that they’re in charge of proceedings and everything’s going as planned, but I’m far from convinced about that.
Your statement couldn't be father from reality imo. I suppose if they dropped in your choice tomorrow you'd be advising everyone to give him a chance-no easy games in the championship. I'm not arguing for him and he wasn't the first ever manager to drop a clanger but on balance City are playing much better generally and maybe they'll wait until the choice they want becomes available because it's not just a manager we need but a coaching team too.Quote:

Half joking with the fixtures, although they look OK on paper, almost as good a short run as he could get.Quote:

Could be. If the team hadn't shown significant improvement the last 2 games I think we'd have an new manager in place already..Quote:

Well it's clear that even fans who think he has done OK accept an experienced manager is in reality what we need
But that's not the way this club works at the moment and it is what it is
I think people getting stressed by this take up gardening or fishing as there's nothing we can do about it
Yes, I'd agree with that.Quote:

Feels like we've spent half the year waiting for news on who our manager's going to be.

I don't entirely agree - if there was a manager we could get and it would guarantee success I think Tan would be happy to pay for it, as the returns on it would be obvious.Quote:

There's nobody.
I think they realise that whoever they appoint - especially with their track record, but looking around the division it applies everywhere - there's a fairly good chance they'll be giving them the sack this time next year.
It appears that the board has lost interest completely in the club.
My sources tell me (other boards and twatter :hehe:)
It's going to be Bilic, but he's tied until January or Rubén Sellés if he can free himself from Reading.
I suppose it would depend on Riza doing a reasonable job in the meantime, winning the easier games and pulling us away from the bottom before January.
Saw something similar on the other board - isn't it a bit flawed as a plan as it relies on our team being self motivated to perform between now and whatever date someone becomes available and an interim manager without too much power or authority - sounds like a perfect storm so will probably be the route the three stooges will takeQuote:

15 games till 1st January that's a hell of a lot to trust a caretaker Manager, let's see how the next two go, that may give us a better idea on Riza.Quote:

The board have, once again, been slow to act. I hope they, and us, do not live to regret it.
If you told me that we would be in the current position as the international fixtures end, I’d have laughed in your face because I would have thought it would be too ridiculous for words even for this ownership. To be fair to Riza, I’d say he’s only made one bad error in his three games in charge, but what an error that was and, if he is going to make equally bad mistakes every third game until January we’re not going to pull clear of the mess we’re in. If we really are going to wait until January for Bilic (is he really worth it?), then I think we’re taking an enormous risk.Quote:

They're probably giving Riza a couple more games to see if the improvement is genuine or a fluke before making a decision on someone - I don't believe this waiting until January for Bilic nonsense. Most of these rumours are started on twitter by idiots
Actually, with skybet, there is not much in it at allQuote:

Yes probably and considering Mowbray and others.Quote:
