    I was just looking at a list of our past managers. If we can look beyond the personal ethics of the manager, whoever chooses the boss has not done a bad job in recent years.

    The discussions on the sacking of Ray Lewington were very heated at the time, if I remember rightly. Since then we've had:

    Aidy Boothroyd - got us into the Premier League
    Brendan Rodgers - got Swansea into the Premier League
    Malky Mackay - doing well with Cardiff and could get them into the Premier League
    Sean Dyche - too soon to tell but shows signs of being good.

    How many other clubs can claim such a good track record in recent years?

    I've just posted this but I don't know how to make sure that it is only on our thread. Help please.

    Not sure that it can change once created - maybe a mod can close this thread and let you create another?

    Just been reading about your latest earthquake NZ - hope you suffered no damage.

    It doesn't appear to have appeared on the Cardiff board, so i shouldn't worry. We have done incredibly well considering all 4 were rookie managers and in their first full posts, which could have backfired in a bad way. Has all exceeded my expectations as I must admit to having been furious at the club at the way they treated Ray Lewington. I hope that SD. turns out to be the best of the 4 - there are signs already. Aidy remains the enigma of the other 3, the only one of them who I wish success to in the future - maybe he can turn Northampton around and save his career in the process, hope so.

    No problems for us, BB. Thanks for your concern. It did wake Mrs NZ and me but not the children.

    NZ, you can have it closed, or i can ask for it to be just on our board, a senior mod can do that...or you can leave it coz it seems fine :)
