Stoke have sacked Schumacher after just 10 months in the job. Lots of their fans appear to be gobsmacked by the decision, especially after the club backed him in the transfer window.
Aparently there is now a revolt by senior players in the club about what is happening on the training field.If this is true then i cannot see how our manager can last much longer.It makes me sad to see what is happening at our club.
Breaking this morning - and Football Insider is usually pretty clued up..................... https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-cardiff-city-ready-to-sack-erol-bulut/
The sooner the better so we can move on. The players are not being motivated and we need someone to reignite the spark.
What does “they’re ready to sack him” mean? They’re either going to sack him or they’re not. What sort of message is that to the players? I hope there’s a clause in his contract which provides the club to sack him with no financial compo in the event of not winning any of the first 5 games and/or bringing in a striker who hasn’t scored in the first 5 games and/or just being totally incompetent. As if Anyway Tan should make Dalman cough up any compo as he appears to be the one who twisted Tan’s arm to bring him here in the first place then compounded his ignorance of the game by persuading Tan to give him a 2 year contract
He needs to be sacked soon so that we can actually be in a relegation battle. Leave it too late and we will be all but down by the next window. We need to get to 20 points by January to have a fighting chance. As things stand I can't see us getting anywhere near that.
As BfB infers our club is run by complete jokers. If Tan & Dalman ran their own businesses like they run the City they’d be bankrupted. It’s getting past a joke now; City is a basket case of a club.

So depending upon your stance about the best way forward, which of the following would you prefer?.............. 1. Lose embarrassingly to Leeds and Bult out of the door Saturday night. 2. Scrape a draw and the point gained provides a stay of execution. 3. Win by some fluke and that's 3 points in the bag but the debate goes on. 4. Beat Leeds convincingly with a different game plan and tactics.
Its a tough one. And what's to say we end up with anyone better with Erol gone. We've hardly got a track record of picking managers. Another 90 degree change in direction. Another shed load of changes in playing personal. It just underlines the need for footballing experience in the board room. The stats appear to flatter to deceive. By hook or by crook we need 3 points. Hell, a goal would be a start. To your options, 4 would be nice, but in the short term I'd settle for 3.
For the good of the club, albeit short term in the forlorn hope of a longer term improvement - option 1. However, you omitted another option, sack Bulut now. They might have a replacement lined up but if not scrape by for Saturday and get someone in next week. Just shows what a mess we're in that there are so many options and none of them a clear way forward. The pity is that Saturday is to be a memorial and celebration for Sol. What would we do for a character and personality like him now?
