Just in time!
A nice bit of publicity for the councillor.
Why would a councillor need publicity?
Name recognition when it comes to election time.
I think he's more well known to his local residents through what he does for them than through an article in the paper.
Pete is a popular and hard-working councillor and will have no trouble being elected again. He's also a lovely guy.
For the record, I think we'll end up more like Nuno's Wolves than Bruno's and that won't make many happy - those who want change want to go further than that - but it will be one hundred times better than the Cardiff City Warnock left us.
It's just so boring that some things are going reasonably well but posters on here and now those writing in Walesonline refuse to see that and popular line is that everything is awful because the 90 minutes isn't so good.
An article name-dropping DoF seemingly without knowing how it could change things or saying 5 at the back is unattractive despite how the U23's play shouldn't be considered reflective of fanbase.
And yet the club need to know that's the popular line because they could lose the one thing that's been consistently good about the 90 minutes (full and loud Canton and full'ish rest of the stadium) since Warnock came in, but at the same time we're probably in a better position now (not more enjoyable - just better) than we've been for past 20 years which fans should recognise. Maybe it's only better because of how bad it has been but we are making better moves now which should filter down into the 90 minutes in the future.
I think I'm right in saying Peter has been a councillor for the Caerau ward for something like nine or ten years. I somehow doubt a midweek Walesonline article about Cardiff City in September 2021 is going to hold much sway at the ballot box during the next elections in May 2022.
Nevertheless. It is a reason why a councilor would need publicity.
Absolutely. I think he's been there even longer than that. I first met him around 2004 and I think he might have been a councillor then, though I could be wrong.
Edited.
Local elections soon
'I watched Caerau Ely away up in Pontyclun the other day. The crowd was almost totally made up of lapsed or current City fans. When I spoke to a few of them the message was clear. The game we had watched between Pontyclun and Caerau had been more exciting than anything we had watched down the City in a long while.'
F*ck the ESL. This IS football.
His point about having a DoF to implement a long term strategy is one that many fans have been advocating for years, but Dalman is adament that we don't need one because we have "a transfer committee". The fact that he thinks a DoF is involved only in recruitment says everything about how little he and Choo know about running a club at this level.
Whether he's fishing for publicity or not, I agree with pretty much everything in that article (except the first sentence that is; nowhere is it guaranteed that supporting your football team should be "a largely enjoyable experience").
Peter Bradbury has been on the Cardiff City Phone In many times, saying the same message.
I agree with him - apart from keeping our McManager who I never wanted in the first place.
Don’t get this stuff about the politician needing publicity, he’s been a Councillor for about ten years, if not more, why would he decide he needs publicity now? I know Peter and I’d say the term passionate City fan describes him well.
1. If I've done my maths right we've had 399 games under Malky, Slade, Warnock, Harris and Mick over past 10 years and only 42 under Ole and Trollope - I know the writer rarely gets to enter their own headline but "right now" suggests it's been massively different before. (I agree if was different under DJ but only for a few months before an unprofessional pre-season sunk us time and again).
2. To be fair, it has been different before: we've spent a lot of those 399 games winning and plenty of the 42 losing. There was consistent complaints under Slade (predominantly based on his personality) but really only Neil Harris onwards has style of play became an issue for most - when style of play dictated by what Warnock left behind.
3. We roll our eyes when radio hosts say Cardiff fans don't want pretty football but there is a groan heard when we pass ball backwards and excitement when it's moved forwards quickly so they have a point. Majority of our fans don't want to be a team who can control the ball, just want players who can consistently control the ball.
4. His complaints about transfer strategy don't reflect what's happened since Neil Harris came in.
5. He comments about DoF without explaining what would be different to now. A consistent approach so change of manager doesn't mean starting again? Mate, we've had 399 games of consistent approach and last 3 manager have been an evolution rather than revolution - that is DoF stuff without a DoF.
6. His complaints about 5 at the back show a lack of understanding of football tactics - some use 5 at the back as an attacking formation.
7. Him wanting Mick to reproduce an Ireland side will have many in Ireland guffawing under this headline. Him wanting to return to football as it was in the early 2000's will have Mick here for next 10 years.
8. Imo, it's really a poor piece of analysis of where out team has been, where it is and where it's going. But it fits the popular view of this time and club needs to hear it because if we lose the full Canton/away end Mick will leave us where Slade did rather than on the strong footing and more ready for potential promotion than we've been at any time in last decade - where we're heading towards currently.
You have this notion that we’re in the middle of some sort of evolution/revolution which will end with us being the sort of team that many of us want us to be. I’d say you’re tacking on an outcome which I see little sign of.
A couple of points, the only evolution I see under the last three managers is a descent into duller and duller football.
We played with a back five on Saturday and although they are a bit more than full backs normally, our wing backs are generally defensively minded.
I wish I had your faith in “the plan”, but I haven’t.
Agreed.
Posters who were quick to remind us Callum Patterson was player of the month for Sheffield Wednesday probably shouldn't be moaning about our style of football.
