Not impressed by the appointment or the nature of it if IÂ’m honest. Only thing that gives me a bit of hope is Ramsey is aware of what is needed behind the scenes and made reference to it. Maybe heÂ’s had promises but need to see them actioned first as broken promises and Ramsey walking away in October of his own accord I could easily see
This is Cardiff City, things can change quickly , but I would be surprised if it doesn't happen.

Yeah, he will have had the assurances to take the job. There was chat elsewhere that Choo had gone in with a derisory wage offer, that wasn't the case. However, reading between the lines, it's been a drawn out process to get to a position where everyone is happy.

I think it's been said elsewhere that VT must trust Ramsey, to give any concession to things like a restructure of staff. I think this is true. I would like to think they wouldn't promise things just to let him down, I would hope VT has that trust and respect in Ramsey.

Seriously, I think anything was a risk. We're a basket case, the options out there were a proper mixed bag. We could spend a fortune on Jones, who's a known hothead. Buckingham could potentially get eaten up by the size of the club (I know we are in League One, but the noise around us is surely much different to Oxford!). Evatt had big clashes with fans at Bolton. Or we could abroad and end up with another short term plan, where we turn over a load of players and staff into a new philosophy, for it not to work and we are in a similar predicament in League One as we have been in recent seasons.

Hopefully some positive movement on staff on the bench and around the club, a few signings and we can hit the ground running come August.
