Re: Managers you have LIKED at Cardiff City

Strangely I know what you mean. If it didn't work I think we all knew even then what was coming.

Was like looking at a frying pan full of hot oil just as it was about to fall off the cooker, but I still wanted to grab a hold of the handle and save my bacon.

Ramsey FA Cup Final.

I was being facetious.

Re: Managers you have LIKED at Cardiff City

Warnock can also come under the poor manager label. It wasn’t all beer and skittles with him.

Personality-wise , I also find him a bit false and his personal politics are super unattractive. I thought, like most people , he was a bit of a nob before he came to us and his brexit bollocks just compounded it.

He also got a decent transfer kitty the season we got promoted. And his football was a bit meh.

I don't think we've ever had a "great" manager.....even if you consider Warnock a "great" in the history of this club. I think the Jacks have had many more potentially "great" managers, for example......... I'm thinking Martinez, Potter, Rogers.

Compared to these guys, our lot have been very unsophisticated.

Malky and Warnock achieved what lots of other managers failed to do

I think Cardiff City have always had a very big number of fickle fans who change like the weather

Re: Managers you have LIKED at Cardiff City

I liked Warnock, we know he plays to the media but I found him fun. Dave Jones I really liked, very straight talking which used to upset some fans which made me like him even more. Lennie seemed pleasant enough.

I'm in the minority, but if Phil Neil wasn't poached by Steve Coppell to go to Manchester city I believe he would have come good.

Re: Managers you have LIKED at Cardiff City

david kerslake and Joe Mcbride don't get enough credit. Jimmy goodfellow, last but not least, Scott young and Danny Gabbidon. They've done **** all since-The club must have ruined them both in a coaching capacity, same as they do with nearly all our young players.

Alan Cork never gets a mention as it was all about Sam but some of the most attacking free football I've ever seen us play was under corky.

Re: Managers you have LIKED at Cardiff City

In the 56 years I have been going down to watch the City, I can count all the mangers I liked on one hand almost:

Jimmy Scoular, Jimmy Andrews (75/76 season only), Frankie Burrows, Eddie May, Dave Jones. Ashurst first time around as well.

Agreed...the board has been rubbish for decades

Re: Managers you have LIKED at Cardiff City

I think I’d go for this bloke who got a raw deal from Sam Hammam, Blackpool fans thought the world of him it seems.

Dave Jones. Finest manager we've ever had. I'll have absolutely no criticism about him whatsoever.

Re: Managers you have LIKED at Cardiff City

Think I enjoyed the Eddie May years the best. Dave Jones too, although very frustrating that we never quite fulfilled our potential.

Re: Managers you have LIKED at Cardiff City

That's the one anomaly that came to my mind too so for you to mention it only gives weight to my argument that there were very few poor signings.

George Smith? Dave Powell? Johnny Vincent? Generally speaking, I don’t think Scoularwasgreat in the transfer market from 1972 onwards.

That’s one year out of nine. Working the majority of his tenure with Fred Dewey must have been frustrating and like getting blood out of a stone.
