There have been plenty of managers who have been well-liked by a considerable majority of the fans after their first seasons here. Frank Burrows, Eddie May, Dave Jones, Malky Mackay and Neil Warnock...

As was Man Utd 0 Cardiff City 2, but we’re not allowed to suggest that according to some.

Realistically, was there any difference between the importance (or otherwise) of yesterday’s game and other recent games against the likes of Sunderland, Millwall and Middlesbrough? To all intents...

But wasn’t it TG who brought Tan to CCFC as opposed to the other way around? I’m fairly sure TG had his own shares in the the club before they were diluted by Tan’s full takeover.

Tan replaced Gethin Jenkins with Alan Whiteley initially, but once Whiteley had completed the onerous task of introducing Tan’s vanity project he was binned too. I may be getting the timelines mixed...

Yes, Tan was apparently almost a sleeping partner during his initial involvement. Gethin Jenkins was the CEO, TG was the chairman and the club had directors such as Alan Whiteley and Steve Borley who...

Interesting comment from Steve Evans after the game: “The players were surprised when we told them we were going with three strikers, but we thought that was a way we could get at Cardiff City.”

Malky Mackay’s appointment had nothing to do with Vinnie. At that point the club had an actual board and a local CEO with a background in sports. Tan only started getting actively involved after...

Did he add nudge nudge, wink wink?

Like getting a refund on my season ticket.

I genuinely don’t think Tan will entertain a three-year contract. I get the impression he’s not convinced by Bulut. No real evidence for that, just a feeling.

Pretty sure the length of contract was mentioned in the press as being one of the things to be negotiated, and the suggestion was he wants a three-year contract. He’s got some nerve considering he...

Do you think Bulut will be happy with another one-year contract?

From the BBC report:

"It has been a miserable campaign for the Millers whose four wins from 45 Championship games meant they came into the contest hoping to avoid equalling the record low number...

Yes, 33 league games since the 4-0 victory over Huddersfield without scoring three goals, but during that time the side has suffered the following defeats:

2-3 v Norwich (H)
0-3 v Hull (A)
0-3 v...

So, City eventually completed the 2023/24 season on a dismal run of 32 league games without beating an opponent by two or more goals - the third-longest run of that kind during a single season in the...

Ooh, great. That’ll make things even more exciting…

Yeah, but they'd have to make that public in order for it to be worthwhile.

I'd definitely sign up for the live stream if that was happening.

:hehe:

Just 3 League One goals for him this season. I don't know if he's injured or not, but he hasn't even been on the Barnsley bench since March.

I'm fairly certain absolutely nobody is going to change their mind about Bulut based on the Rotherham result, just as nobody changed their mind about him based on the Middlesbrough result (although a...

A quick reminder of the end-of-season dead rubber rules for anyone who might have forgotten:

If City lose (or maybe draw in this instance), the result is irrelevant, the players are already on the...

The last direct link he had with the German leagues was 2004/05, when he played 10 games for 1860 Munich.

City have bought a couple of players from Bundesliga 2 in recent years (Glatzel and...

That’s right, it’s basically insignificant. I read somewhere recently that the losing play-off finalist will get more in TV revenue from that one game than Leicester will get for winning the league....

I don’t think so. That’s the case in the Premier League, but I don’t believe it’s the same in the EFL.

Glatzel’s Bundesliga 2 record for Hamburg now reads 60 goals in 95 (+3) appearances.

Quite incredible really. And, as usual, another 57,000 crowd at Hamburg this evening.
