It's not a job that just requires tweaking the starting eleven. It's not a job that Cardiff City can afford to give to a person who was part of the coaching team that got us into this mess in the first place. I can't believe people are seriously considering him. We don't have time to mess about.
This guy would be responsible for a Transfer window in a few months. He doesn't have the experience and status in the game. It's so naive to think that a guy who scraped a scrappy 3 points on Tuesday is already being touted as an option. In fact, it's not just naive, it's barking.
This isn't one they can take a chance on again. Not with 4 points and -15 GD. It would be madness. Both sides missed decent chances on Tuesday in open play. We won't survive if we can only score from occasional set pieces. Not after this start.
As it stands this is the season we're going down. I don't gamble. Riza is a massive gamble. It's too big a risk. There will always be risks but you have to at least minimise those risks. Appointing Riza immediately increases them and there's no shake up.
Bulut and all the team (playing and non-playing staff) got us into this mess. It's going to need an experienced person to give us a fighting chance. Outside of football he and several players would have been 'let go' by now.
Edit: I hope we get 3 points on Sunday but it won't change my views if we do.
It's apparent to me anyway that any manager has a limited input to transfers as seeing the way Bulut treated some of ours. (Robinson,Turnbull come to mind.) Also, I'm not making a case for Rizza but was a bit bemused by some of the posters on here giving judgement on a candidates suitability based on their own guesswork.
If we ain't going to be signing anyone for 3 months then it makes sense to give him a shot at things
He will know the players pretty well now
Wheras a new manager won't and will take 3 or 4 games to analyse what he's got and what he needs
If the squad is as sub standard as some on here think then why are they thinking a new manager is going to make anything out of them ?
I personally think they are mid table side who have started like cabbage
So stick with him and see if he can get a few results together
Obviously if we lose on Sunday then sack him immediately
Sorry Sludge not after todays showing. He has to go ASAP
each to their own, I'd be happy to see what he can do with a couple more games before making a decision, obviously whatever he was trying to do with those subs didn't work at all, and if he does that every week then I wouldn't want to keep him either, but personally I think we've improved enough to see where he can take us for a few weeks at least.
