    Not if it works mate. Teams can lose playing good football but there needs to be an ability to adapt to the situation, whatever the game throws at you.

    At our level we're gonna win and lose games, this hoofball "success" was never going to last. Surely its better to do it while watching better football? Long term, our first team playing like the younger teams will also make it easier to bring kids through.. Oh look.. Longtermism

    How about Elon Musk? City could eventually become the first club managed from space.

    He could at least pay for Dai Hunt to be the first Cardiffian in space, no return.

    To be fair if a number of posters have been saying this for years and we've been nowhere near losing our place in the league, in fact we're usually flirting with the playoffs, then it shows that those posters were wrong doesn't it?

    Dai was on the Sports phone in on BBC Radio Wales after the game yesterday. It's amazing how lucid he sounds away from the ground. He told an incredulous story of how he was speaking to Tomlin and Tomlin told him he'd never play for Mick McCarthy. By this, I think he meant McCarthy had told him, Tomlin, that he'd never play for the club again. The truth or bullsh*t ?

    You don't have to look fat between the lines to know MM has no interest in using Tomlin.

    Sadly, you are probably right. I just find it incredulous though that Tomlin would open up to Dai Hunt about the comings and goings on at the club. I guess Tomlin doesn't give a flying one....

    Ridiculous to ask for names but let's go and get Man City's owners why don't we.
    Well that's not going to happen. I agree Tan has done things the wrong way and it's confusing into why he doesn't look like changing the ways the club operates surely by now he's wiser in regards to running a football club..
    That said i am glad we have him at the club rather than the piss artist Hammam and a few other clowns who have messed up football clubs..

    You’re getting weirder by the week.

    Question: had you ever heard of Vincent Tan before he bought into Cardiff City FC?

    I certainly hadn’t.

    Dai or has Jason Mohammed called him (David ) also pointed out that Harris was sacked after 6 defeats, if David has spoken , and thinks Mick should go , the writing is very much on the wall for MM.

    TBF I thought he spoke well ,he clearly loves the City .

    Not at all. We haven’t built the basis of sustainable success.

    I remember Dai Hunt from Whitchurch Comp '70-75. He was definitely David Hunt back in those days. I'm not sure when the name change occurred

    You don't have to answer my question, Stockholm, and I can understand why you don't want to. After all, doing so would highlight how dumb your question was.

    Warnock after Boro's defeat at Reading:

    "It's terrible really. I've been in the game 42 years and this group of Championship referees at the minute is probably the worst I have ever come across."

    Doesn't he say then same thing every year?

    The question was clearly not for you so don't reply..
    I hardly club bash and i don't want a new owner so the question you made trying to be a smart arse is pointless
