Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

He has done a good job at Newport in difficult circumstances but not good enough to get a job at a championship club. That said I think he would do a better job than MM is at the moment. Would prefer either giving Morrison a short term go to see what he can do or Chris Wilder.

MF not good enough for a championship job but Morison is worth a pop ?

C'mon fella.

Apparently, Sol Bamba, having never managed a game at any level is somehow worth a pop too.

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

I don't think it matters whether Flynn has won a promotion or not, neither do I have a problem that he's never managed higher than league 2. Without doubt County have overachieved with Flynn in charge and have been desperately unlucky in two playoff finals. Newport have never lacked bottle for the big occasion and have always been well motivated. From the outside looking in the club has appeared to be closely knit and team spirit has been high. It's also my opinion that Flynn speaks well and has shown himself to be very knowledgeable about the game.

Managers have to start somewhere. Similarly old experienced heads lose their way. Some fans look at promotion winning managers, say Wilder and Hughton, yet how many would recommend Warnock and Mackay? There are plenty of top managers who have failed at clubs, yet done brilliantly elsewhere.

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

No manager with any ambition is coming here… which means we’ll get another dud.

I can see the job Ad now.
Puppet Needed: Must be used to working with….
Clueless interference from above, a level of future investment almost certain to be next to nothing, a squad full of NFL punters…

If I can’t get at all enthused about the team I’ve supported for 40+ years what chance has an ambitious, progressive manager got to be enthused about with that as the job Ad

Currently we’re a Championship club by name and recent history only

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

Slade gets a lot of crap but he was Mick the first time round. Cutting the squad to bare bones and got us an 8th placed finish.

As for the OP.
Flynn? No.

About as many credentials as Solskjaer has for being United manager but having not played for us.

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

Ha very true … I’ve heard Chris Houghton is available :hehe:

Not a bad shout. I wanted him here all those years ago - just after DJ left?


Help an old man with his memory, but didn't he have an interview along with Alan Shearer?

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

He's spent the last few weeks blaming his own players in the press for their poor form, players he signed mind.

Mr Newpart Cwenty the self confessed Liverpool fan.

No thanks.

[PhyllisStant]

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

I think it's also worth mentioning that when I went to watch Cwenty a few weeks ago, it was ....believe it or not.... a far far worse spectacle than anything I've seen at City this year. So if we were taking a gamble on a manager I'd at least want the entertainment factor raised a bit.

Houghton? Why do people call him Houghton?

Re: Flynn - Next Cardiff manager ?

Harris - Promoted from league 1, kept Millwall stable in this league for a couple of years

Mick - Come on, he’s far more experienced and travelled than Flynn will ever be.

Trollope and Slade, didn’t want either of them, Slade couldn’t get promoted from the lower leagues so I don’t know how he ended up getting the job. I’d rather we stay away from appointments like that

Logic wouldn’t suggest he’d work well with more money. Look at Warnock, his best signings were free transfers, the minute he was given money he blew it. Do you honestly think any other championship club would give him a ring? He’s getting another league 2 job, a championship job would be lunacy.

And yes he doesn’t deserve a chance because he’s a league 2 manager. It’s a completely different level to us and he’s failed (yes failed, Morecombe don’t have a pot to piss in either) to get out of there twice. Let another league 2 club have him and we can make a serious appointment when Mick ****s off

Quite.

When Mick is sacked the club will appoint Hughton. I’m sure of it. Even Pulis is too far gone.

Either that or some really dull, cheap, uninspiring appointment that no one wants, like Harris/Slade etc.

But definitely not something imaginative like an up and coming progressive footballing manager, even, dare I say it, from Europe.

Flynn a big risk. Bellamy or Wilder for me.

Personally I'd push the boat out for Wilder, failing that look abroad as you said. The club won't show any imagination and will get the cheap option as per usual.

Clubs like Barsnley and Swansea have shown imagination in recent years with their appointments and yet we have fans clamouring for a league 2 manager, it's beyond me.

I don’t think anyone in their right mind wants flynn…..one thing for sure I have no faith in our board, failure after failure.

Flynn's a risk but Bellamy isn't?
