I was just reading that. It highlights the issue of not having a manager though. Two offers being negotiated. What if the new manager doesn't want them? To be fair, the decisions seem sensible enough. The 7 leaving will clear a chunk of change from our reduced budget. It'll be interesting to see what senior players will be moved on, or ask to leave. Us being linked with a striker suggests Robinson and / or Salech will be leaving. It would be nice to keep Salech as he should tear L1 up. It would also be a statement of intent.
Need to get rid of Chambers,Willock,Robinson, Horvath, Daland, Turnbull on wages alone. City will do well to keep onto Salech, Robertson, O’Dowda and Lawler. They need to.
There should be the core of a decent L1 side in there even if we shed a few of the higher earners and don't bring many replacements in.
League 1 won’t be like the old style division 3 - a strong core to the team with some league experience supplemented with players with real pace - give the lads who shone in the U-21’s a real chance.
Wouldn't have an issue with Robinson moving on, but would rather we kept hold of O'Dowda. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport.../championship-clubs-linked-moves-two-31866529
Totally agree Remote. I thought O'Dowda was our best player last season. But we are a third division side now and if a bigger club comes calling…
I was puzzled by the booing he got from the Oxford fans until I realised he’d played for them before he was a wurzel I’d chip in for Robinsons taxi to any club
OK. B B-M has been in the building for hours and no signings yet. Are we sure we've got the right man for the job?
Both great servants of the club, especially Rallsy. It looks like BBM is building for the future with our young guns. Should be interesting to see who we will be signing.
Thought they might have kept him about as much for his presence in the dressing room and on the training pitch as anything. He must have had something about him. He saw off a fair few managers. Good luck to him.
I can only guess we're not offering what they think they're worth. As for being BBM''s decision I'm sure I read he won't be in place until the coming Monday. Pity they are both leaving. I thought they would have been valuable in Div 1 if they stayed fit. I hope this means the club want to make room for some battle hardened, seasoned Div 1 players. The youngsters will need some experienced heads to guide them and call the shots on the pitch when needed. Edit: Ralls interview shoes it was BBM's decision. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joe-ralls-leave-cardiff-city-31905447# Good luck to Joe wherever he goes from here.
I don't think it was contrived. He played the last few games of the season. It was the injuries that beat him.
