Riza sacked. Aaron Ramsey takes charge

[Hilts]

I met Purse a few times while he was playing here. If he wasn't in the team at away games, he'd often be alongside his family in the away end. He always came across as a really genuine guy. The vitriolic stick he gets in some quarters baffles me, especially as he was someone who always gave his all when playing for us.

I'm not on twitter , Facebook etc . Does Purse get vitriolic stick. I dont think I've ever seen it on here.?

If only we could have had someone of Purse's character and commitment during this season.

Try the 'other board'.

The thing we have missed more than anything.

In this very thread regarding Purse, Ramusat and Shaw: "****ed off hopefully and when they get there hope they **** off a little further."

Purse gets grief on the other board.

[PontBlue]

When Riza announced who does what Ramasut was named as the defensive coach

[Splott-light...]

the Welsh rugby team are struggling right now, i'm pretty confident Darren Purse could coach them on how to tackle.

[bobh]

If a Darren Purse or Sean Morrison was in the side I don’t think we’d be in this mess.

I'm not so sure.
After all, they're both getting on a bit.

[WJ99mobile]

Ridiculous, if they were looking for a change, it should have been done straight after the Stoke game.

Yet again, the real cause of our problems has taken his duff managerial appointments record to eight out of eleven and I’m being generous there by not grading Slade or Harris as duff.

Why wouldn’t you?

Slades signings were probably the worst the club has seen.

That's debatable.

I’d still take them over Daland.

Cardiff City FC can confirm that a decision has been taken to relieve Omer Riza of his duties as First Team Manager.

Aaron Ramsey will lead the Club for the remaining three games of the Sky Bet Championship season, beginning with Monday’s match at home to Oxford United.

Chris Gunter, Joe Ralls, Tom Hutton and Matthew Bloxham will join Aaron in the technical area.

We’d like to thank Omer for his passion and effort during his time as Cardiff City manager and wish him the very best for his next steps in the game.

Way too late, at least a month

[goats]

This is incredible.

3 games to go and they bring in someone in with even less experience than Riza

Who the f else would even take it? We just need someone to install some belief and organisation

[WJ99mobile]

He can'tdo any worse.

He can.

We didn’t look that bad yesterday.

Lee Peltier? Bruno Manga?

[Father Dougal]

Lee Peltier? Bruno Manga?

Ole signed manga?

[RichardM]

Well that's a relief. Putting Ramsey in charge without Bellamy's blessing simply wouldn't have been acceptable.

I'm sure the reference to Bellamy's approval was talking about Gunter's appointment. Hoovered, I expect you knew that and were just trying to be funny.

[WJ99mobile]

Lee Peltier? Bruno Manga?

I don’t think Manga was

[City123]

Feels a little harsh, he didn't make that many and they were all on the cheap. He was having to compensate for the massive overspending seen under Ole

[Cardiff Ultra]

I think you've got the wrong club. Watching Cardiff City has been very dull in recent seasons.

On the pitch its been absolute drek, off the pitch its been like an avant garde piece of performance art.

17 not that many?

You’re right, he signed at the end of Ole’s time here didn’t he.

Semi Ajayi should have made us a lot of money and we did make a big profit on Zohore who was a great signing for a year or so.

[Des Parrot]

I'm not entirely sure why Purse gets stick either. I think the 'other board' had an agenda against him, because the U21s went through a really lean time under Purse's leadership in the early days.

For a while I was non-plussed about Purse as a player. However, two incidents stood out in my mind which eventually endeared him to me.

The first was a game at Ninian Park, during which nothing was going right for him, he was playing as if his laces had been tied together.
Suddenly, we were awarded a penalty... Purse sprinted 40-50 yards, grabbed the ball and scored!
A lesser person would have shyed away from the responsibility. I think (I might be wrong) we won the game as a result of the penalty?

The second incident that got me liking him was when a rather overzealous referee instructed Purse to remove his wedding ring moments before kick-off. Even though the ring was taped up, the ref wasn't having it. Purse chose not to play, rather than take off his wedding ring. A man of true values and priorities in my opinion. I seem to recall he had the support of Dave Jones at that time.

My favourite. Leeds away. Purse was injured and in the crowd with us. Gabor made a mistake and someone shouted something like, you’re useless Purse. At this point Purse stands up & says I’m not even on the pitch & I still get the blame.

17 over 2 years with quite a few loans feels pretty standard?

Ole made 13 in one summer on top of 7 in January
