Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
To the next manager.
- Capital city
- Recent top flight experience
- Support base

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
Crowds averaging 20K in the championship and 30K in the premiership.
For many managers we are a very good option. We don’t have to appoint someone from the “bargain basement”

Pay Cheque every month and a tidy contract. Most people in football don't give a ****.

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
We are an attractive proposition to out of work managers with no chance of a PL job.
Maybe to a lot of lower league managers.
To attact a decent name theyd want substantial funds. Thats why we are not in the least bit an attractive option to the likes of Eddie Howe.

Not sure I agree with that point given their points deduction this season.
Their fan base is probably top 10 in the country however.

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
Of course Cardiff City is an attraction.
There are a handful of unemployed managers who can afford to pick and choose and wait for the plumest job (Howe may be one) but most good managers will look at Cardiff - stadium, financial backing, twice in Premier League in last decade, size of fan base - and see a major attraction.
Any worth their salt, with self belief, should expect to push for promotion in the next year or two.

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
Whether Cardiff is an attraction or not the job certainly is. £300-£500k pa possibly, any manager would be interested, unless they are rich enough not to want it.

Most on this board assume that Howe would not be interested in taking over because of upcoming opportunities in the Prem.
I would trust Eddie Howe to turn things round, without having to spend a lot of money.

There are 92 professional league clubs in English football, that means there's 92 jobs for most managers. We're one of the top 30 jobs in the country. Cardiff are a big club, with a big stadium and they'll get paid well.
Wednesday's owner is absolutely crackers and hasn't paid players on time, that's why they've not appointed anyone.

We have potential but have never really delivered
Something comes along to feck things up , it always does

over the last decade its been great, our profile has been greatly raised , okay we just haven't capitalised, or managed our promotions very well, any decent manger would be attracted to us, and to be fair the owner has a history of long term investment

One would think so. But it is somewhat of an outpost. You'd have to move there, which to me is no bad thing. But maybe not for everyone. For example, look at the clubs you could manage if you lived in or around Manchester.

we are cardiff city , we will always be doomed

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
This is down to Tan et al to sell the job. If Tan really wanted someone and was prepared to make them a few promises, I'm sure we could almost anyone currently available.

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
All comes down to money, in wages and what they will be backed with which is why Howe is a crazy shout.

Think we need owners who know what they are doing.....Tan might have the cash but can’t find a decent CEO for love or money.

Add in that the Championship is bigger than half the European leagues we should be attracting applications from all over.
Have a good season or two and you can go onto bigger and better.
Look at people who have managed the Jacks.

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
Should you be looking further afield for your manager? Up and coming managers in Europe?

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
we're middle to upper championship team

We're upper. I know we're not this year but the lowest we've finished is 12th in about 15 seasons. We're one of the biggest clubs at this level.

Was this before or after they were promoted to the premier league?

They broke FFP laws to get promoted, their wage bill was enormous. They lost £38.3m the season they got promoted alone.

Re: Is Cardiff City's 'potential' an attraction?
I really don’t get this progressive philosophy thing. It’s always going to be cyclical unless you are truly one of the elite teams.
****ing Everton and West Ham could maybe afford to be pretentious about the football that they play with their school of science shite but they have been as rudimentary as anyone over the last couple of decades.
It’s a knock on of “modern football” and reminds me of precious indie fans leaning against the wall of The Dublin Castle In Camden sneering at any new band that doesn’t blow them away.
We don’t need an identity for the football that we play, just for who we are.
The only teams that I can think of that have kicked on beyond us are Leicester and Wolves.
I’m happy enough with The Championship and the odd flirtation with The Premier League.
