Shame he’s flounced.
Ramsey's not going to be our manager - he's going to play in Mexico... according to the Sun!

It wouldn’t surprise me if the board aren’t keen on Ramsey but everyone they prefer has turned the job down.
Haven't read the whole thread but tom cleverly odds on for Plymouth. As we are in exactly the same position as them- just relegated to league 1 was he linked with us at all?
Judging by the videos doing the rounds of the Welsh players last night calling Ramsey “Gaffer”, I’m sure we’ll be put out of our (or into depending on your own view) misery in the next couple of days.
The Sun have been right before and will be plenty of times again, but the point is that Thursday night it was supposed to be all done and dusted and now it doesn’t look as clear cut - it’s not so much whether Ramsey goes to Mexico or not, more where does it leave us if, for whatever reason, we cannot agree a deal with him?
The word on social media is that Ramsey and the club are a long way apart on wages - they let it be leaked that Tan is willing to pay Ł5 million in compensation over a period of time to get Jones,, yet it seems we’re trying to get Ramsey on the cheap. Warnock made some very good free signings in the summer of 2017, but, surely, one lesson Tan should have learned by now is that City don’t tend to prosper when we try to cut corners financially.

Personally, I think all these rumours are bollocks
I don't get the mexican link for Ramsey, wasn't part of the stated lure of coming back to Cardiff was that he could be closer to his young family. Or were they not even living here? I maybe misremembering.
I'd imagine he could get a playing contract somewhere closer than Mexico. Would that distance be good for any WC prep. I know Bale did it but it didn't make a lot of sense other than the lifestyle.
Maybe he just really likes the food.
