Paul Cook offered the job first on a 6 month contract?

**Bobby Dandruff** · 22-01-21, 13:21

I wonder if this is true?

BREAKING: Mick McCarthy is set to be named as the new Cardiff City boss.Paul Cook had been offered a 6-month deal by the club but turned it down as he wants something longer term.- talkSPORT understands

(Or holding out for a lucrative Sex Pistols reunion tour etc etc...

)

What that says to me is Mick McCarthy has also been offered a 6 month contract

Which would make a lot of sense. We need someone with MM's experience to cover the short term and he needs to rebuild his reputation after being out of club game for long time and having bad time of it abroad.

Yep and rightly so if he turns it down we go elsewhere or actually advertising it a short term contract makes sense to me this season is dead .

Looks like Mick's on a short term deal then with a view to someone else taking over in the summer

Lot of talk saying they've spoken to Bellamy...

Someone else suggested Mick with Bellamy as assistant and Bellamy taking over in the summer which to me makes far too much sense for us to go for it

A steady hand to see out the season whilst someone more progressive gets more experience and learns about the squad etc sounds fairly sensible to me

Isn't the reason Roy Keane hates McCarthy for the fact that he was so ****ing unprofessional with Ireland.? That is the complete opposite to how Bellamy operates.

McCarthyism is nothing new.

Lol!!! 😂😂😂

**NYCBlue** · 22-01-21, 13:33

If this is true, then all is forgiven. Do something bold City!

Although, I wouldn't have minded giving Paul Cook 3 years. Steve Jones as director of shagging.

Nope not at all, it was the facilities booked by the FIA.

Keane acted like a big ****ing baby and McCarthy went on to have a great World Cup.

If this ends up being a short term thing to keep us up and bring in a more progressive manager I think it’s a good move.

Mick is a good bloke too and never has a dull press conference.

Keep us up

Were not going down ffs. Could have employed a progressive manager now.

This is an odd comment for a former professional footballer.

We have just lost 6 games out of 7 - that is relegation form that even someone in Malaysia could spot.

Bizarre 🤦*♂️

We’ve lost 7 out of the last 8 including against Wycombe, Coventry and QPR. We are in more trouble than people realise.

Big Kiefer is back and so is Moz. Well be fine. Weve also played Norwich twice and Brentford in those games and the other loss was the cup.

We struggled against the top 4 and, more of a concern, against the bottom 7. That's a lot of games where we were unable to pick up points.

There is no chance whatsoever that we get relegated. I could be in charge for the rest of the season and we dont go down.

You have experience of playing at Championship level though so it's not the same as a normal fan taking over.

Agreed.
