    Less? Just more confirmation the club isn't going to change. Thoroughly depressing.

    Without a doubt our worst moment footballing wise since we got promoted in 2003. What an embarrassing display of a total lack of ambition. Anyone defending the board and justifying it as a 'avoid relegation appointment', give your heads a wobble.

    This is same old gutless, boring, ambitionless, circus club Cardiff City. What a pathetic, pathetic appointment.

    FFS!!!!!!!
    Two more years of route1 football until he's sacked then!

    Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

    If it’s true, then:

    1. Jesus wept
    2. It endorses Bellamy’s comments about the club not being willing to give someone time to embed a philosophy.

    It smacks of the same short term view that led to Warnock.

    Not exactly progressive, is it.

    Just give us a Director of Football!

    Agree that It was a great opportunity to sack Dalman and bring in a Director of Football to report directly to Mr Tan and Oversea Recruitment and the Academy etc with a Head Coach to manage the first team, tactics etc. Mark Hughes and Bellamy would be my choices! We are just going backwards appointing Mick McCarthy!

    What is this with people saying Dahlman has to be sacked? Why?
    What make people think he has to be gone before the club brings in a director of football? There is no law that says a company must sack 1 director before it appoints another?

    (I can think of one reason that will be given before I even press send )

    I like Mick but not sure I want him as our manager.

    I think he’ll be an improvement on Harris but it does seem like more short termism from the board.

    Cardiff City, where has been managers go to die

    Or conversely, save us from relegation and then get us promoted to the Premier League the season after.

    Behave! There is no positive spin to put on this piling steam of Scheisse.

    Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

    I don't know why they can't see we need a long term plan.

    Better than Harris no doubt but unless it's until the end of the season then terrible decision.

    This is so depressing.

    Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

    Not sure what to think.

    If you didn't know better you'd think our board were on the wind up.

    I wait for MD or Choo to tell us how we're going in another direction.

    Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

    We're going to know a lot more about the club's future plans from:

    - MM first couple of interviews
    - what the board says when announcing him
    - what happens in the summer: whether MM stays on and what new players are brought in
    - (if he stays on, how things progress next year)

    No need to judge just on the name being announced.

    Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

    I've come to a conclusion though.

    Vincent Tan is a long ball man. Probably supported the crazy gang in their pomp.

    And here is main Walesonline journalist saying length of contract not yet agreed:

    Full story here. Cardiff City are set to appoint Mick McCarthy as their new manager.
    Whether that is just until the end of the season or longer is still being decided, I am led to believe - https://twitter.com/GlenWilliams12/s...70007176278016
    Can we maybe let them explain their thoughts first? Especially those who felt MM might be a good caretaker until end of the year.

    Re: Its Mick McCarthy...

    Could we be using the Mick story to lure in a good manager? we aren't doing that are we
