Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

I have seen lots of posts, that see Ipswich as a bad stain in his CV.

But I have always been under the impression he did really well at Ipswich? Didn't they refuse to spend money for years and years, the fact he kept them a mid table championship side for so long under terrible conditions was a good achievement.
Proven by what has consequently happened to them as soon as he left.

I also remember MM's Ipswich being a very difficult game for Cardiff whenever we travelled there.

If he gets a contract extension, which at this stage looks a certainty, it will be interesting to see whether the board will give him the financial backing to develop the team, something he was denied at Ipswich.

One thing we can say about Harris is that that the vast majority of his acquisitions have been successful, certainly much more so than his predecessors. It is a given that any players MM sign will be have the right mental attitude to succeed. Hopefully, like Harris he has an eye for a decent footballer too.

the board in general likes to moan and groan

Re: Come on. Hands up. Whos willing to admit they were wrong

Except him obvs.😁
Warnock, Jones, McCarthy on one hand. Harris, Trollope, OGS on the other.

How could you possibly miss out Russel Slade?

On skybet there's about 30 other candidates ahead of him, so it's a pretty long shortlist.

The same people who moaned about the appointment are the same people who voted for Brexit.

Dave Jones was 48 when he came to Cardiff.

Hadn't he only really had two jobs as well? He'd been employed by Southampton but his arrest really got in the way of that. The appointment of Jones is more similar to Mackay & Trollope than Warnock & McCarthy

He has done really well and long may it continue. So yes I was also wrong . Shows how much a manager influences the team.

I would still prefer a younger manager playing less "direct" football.

But its a results game .

Still early days, remember Harris took us from 15th to 5th and the playoffs last season made some good signings but it all went wrong especially when Moore and Morrison got injured! Whatever happens I would only offer MM a 1 year rolling contract as it’s cost us a lot of money to sack Managers including Warnock!

That's a great plan however you'd have to replace the majority of the playing staff at great cost , and as MM states this game is not complicated to win games , old and young can succeed however its interesting when clubs are in decline or in trouble they hire experience.

Poisoned chalice. I very much doubt if MM would be interested. Celtic will be looking for a young up-and-comer too. They're playing catch-up now.

At least they have something to smile about with us.
