    That side would have sunk there regardless of Toshack or anyone else being manager. In reality, we had one good year in years of dross. Hughes should have gone after the Russia playoff. Ageing players who were past it retired when he got sacked. It needed changing even though on the pitch our results and sometimes performances were woeful.

    If we were to completely alter the philosophy of Cardiff City football club I'd expect some barren years.

    You could also say thaat the young players that toshack gave debuts to would have played for wales whoever was the manager, as soon as it seeemed like they were any good

    Don't buy into this youth thing of toshack playing players. The players develop at their clubs not at international call ups. We've had a decent group of players and successful systems.
