Thread: Why would any decent manager come here to work under Tan?

  1. #1

    Why would any decent manager come here to work under Tan?

    Honestly asking here. Given the recent meeting with Dalman who basically revealed among other things that -

    There will be no money to spend in January or next summer.
    Players whose contracts are running out will not be renewed.
    Tan has the last say on every football matter including our style of football.

    What worthwhile football manager will come into a club with literally no free reign to do any actual managing?
    Not many unless desperate or just wanting the cash which is not in our interest as a club.
    It is no real mystery why some players seemingly can't be arsed.

    We may as well have a Paul Trollop type who is decent on the training pitch and let old Vinny do the rest because it seems he is going to anyway regardless of how crap we might get.

    I actually welcome us playing a team of kids now because the club can drop the line about VT funding us every 5 seconds because our wage bill will be absolute peanuts. We might then get an owner who actually cares a bit and realises that this way is not the way to success.

    Dalman did not say these things

    - The players whose contracts are expiring will be let go

    - The style of play is down to Tan

    Dalman said Tan favours the direct football and I'd bet this is because we've been promoted twice with that style. Any manager who comes in between now and the summer will be limited to the direct stuff we've become familiar with because of our terrible our squad is so Tan's preference doesn't really matter.

    There's going to be plenty of applications over the coming days whether you think they are decent or not is your own view. I've seen clubs in worse situations pull off 'decent' appointments in the past, I'd imagine there's managers out there who would be up for the challenge while getting paid a good wage, let's not be naïve mate.

    Have a day off, or better still a week. You're strangling this message board. It's beyond tedious.

    One reason could be to learn how to become a better football manager under the tutelage of the great Vincent Tan.

    You could always start your own thread.

    Tell us the one about not giving a penny to the club and only watching them when receiving free tickets off mates. That's a brilliant one that will have people on the edge of their seat I'm sure.

    I don't think they can chat about Cardiff City and answer your questions on Vincent Tan for you, would be shouting into the wind I fear.

    Yeah. They are a bit pointless but then so is coming onto the message board of a team you used to support to point score...

    It is strange how some pass their time.

    I might send multiple replies but I wouldn't make up things to make myself seem more important.

    Is the club still doing just fine in your opinion?
    Have you found proof of the Madine loan fee?

    😄 indeed

    Re: Why would any decent manager come here to work under Tan?

    why wouldn't they

    its a win win

    they do well, look at what they did with very little funds

    they bomb, they get " sacked " have 1/2 the contract paid up and walk away with the hard luck story of " well they had no funds to spend "

    win.win

    I want a manager coming here for the right reasons though. I think we all do.

    One having at least some of the tools he requires at his disposal.

    You've posted twice as much as I have per day while being a member here so it seems that might come as a surprise to you.

    It isn't trolling though. My posts are genuine concerns.

    I replied to DML you absolute tool. Perhaps you should take the advice above and have a break from the screens, it seems to be effecting you.

    As I said, twice as many posts per day in the time you've been a member.

    Maybe you should you tool.

    You’re wasting the autumn years of your life just repeating nonsense on here. Give it a ****ing rest.

    I might do.

    It won't be because some spider fancier who doesn't even support the club anymore, a hypocritical bloke saying I've got too much time on my hands while posting twice as much or whoever else fancies tells me to stop.

    Thanks for the advice though.

    Quite funny that the ones who say it is tedious and that I am a troll have taken a serious thread totally off topic.

    Re: Why would any decent manager come here to work under Tan?

    Plenty of managers would.

    We will still pay a good wage, and yes most of them do it for the money, they still have bills to pay.

    The transfer funds will limit who we can get but its also a no lose situation for someone. Some may even not mind all the out of contract players going, we will have space on the wage bill to bring in players that he would want.

    It's still a relatively decent sized club, paying good money even by champ standards, good facilities.

    There's so many younger managers out there that would love a crack at the 2nd tier. Hopefully we take interviews rather than just going with someone recommended.

    You'd like to think they would interview the candidates to let them give the club their pitch and vision for what they believe they can achieve.

    Even then you'd think that would then have to be relayed to Tan by Dalman or Choo.

    It really is an odd set up here.

    I replied to your post and you completely ignored it, instead took offense to me responding to another person. This is why I said you should have a break from crying about Tan every time you come on here.

    Yes my whopping 1.1 posts per day suggests I spend too much time on here, explains why you've made more comments today alone than I have all week. Turn the screen off
