Manager watch

Whoever comes in will probably be reminded we're only 10 points off the playoffs.

 

That'll be a bigger problem.

 

Is this good or bad news? .........................

Good to see some interim expertise being brought in.
Excuse the text speak but WTF?!?!?

 

Change at the top of the club has hardly been a regular occurance this last 10 years - I think Simon Lim was the last head to roll - but I just wonder if it's about to happen soon.

It surely can't go on much longer. Frying pan and fire spring to mind, but I'd settle for a go in the fire right now.

 

FFS - can this be for real?

If City had a football consultant then this bloke wouldn’t have an interview.
But as we don’t then who knows?
They fell for the ‘Wales way’ by appointing Trollop.
That went well.

 

Perhaps he thinks he'll bring Bale, Ramsey, James et al with him.

 

For free?

 

Of course!

I expect Smithies and Phillips will be moved on as they haven't had a shot on target this season. (Or ever, but he won't know that)

 

Phillips may survive. He had an assist at Peterboro.

 

Good point.

 

Thinking about it, he'll probably try to buy them from Wales

 

Another outsider's view........................

Seems a relatively fair assessment too, even if there are some minor inaccuracies in it.

Personally I think with the right manager and one or two careful signings at Xmas we'll be OK.

It's in the summer that we'll really need a very shrewd operator if Dalman's words are being interpreted correctly and few, if any out of contract players will be kept on.

Never dull being a Bluebird eh (playing style aside).

 

Just off topic Pack got his 5th yellow last game so good news he’s unavailable for Stoke.
Love to know what Morison is making of his new charges!

 

Would certainly be interesting to be a fly on the wall in that first team meeting after Mick's departure.

Will Morrison lay into them and tell them they've been pretty much a shower of poop that need to start putting in some graft again or will help just try big them up and say how they can do so much better?

Will we see any immediate change in tactics?

The Fulham game showed we are able to play a little in the right circumstances.
Just need to expand on that...

Easy!!

 

Hes probably got the 23s in showing the first team how to pass to each other.

With hindsight, ity we didnt stick to the plan.
Short term contract for MM to get us safe then a new boy.
If it is to be Pulis of Houghton, please stick to a short term contract.

 

For either of those a zero hour or rolling daily contract, with all options in the club's favour.

 

Roy Keane at 12 to 1.
