Match Day Thread Coventry City v Cardiff City, Not A Big Club, Not A Small Club, Fug Me. What .are They Then?

I should think so too. Can't imagine anyone paying him

 

Just seen the limited video highlights.(seems I dodged a bullet going out tonight)
Their goal was shambolic not only Ralls but Morrison.
Not sure why our ‘goal’ was chalked off but a point would only have papered over the huge chasms in our club.

 

If not Howe, Nigel Pearson anyone?

 

Suits me. Pearson being linked with Sunderland by some sources.

 

get Howe now if he will come to this car wreck.

 

Interesting stuff Robbie thanks pal, any idea why they call Masky prick?

 

I was sceptical when we first brought Harris in, but he grew on me as time went on.
I now see I was wrong in my positivity.
Got us through post lock down in reasonable fashion but seems to have gone backwards.
Did well to get moore in, though doesnt play to his strengths.
Got lucky getting wilson in, though how lucky wilson is feeling is a different matter.
Was negligent in the RB department and we're paying for it in spades.
We've had a run of poor managerial appointments going as far back as DJ, though MM did get up promoted, then pissed on his chips (can't even remember what it was now). Even Colin made some dodgy signings and wasted a load of cash.
The swans have got quite a few appointments right, even if not to their posters taste.
They still hold plug in distain, though he's got them in a decent league position.

I think the board need to take a long hard look in the mirror before pointing the finger.

 

Howe to me seems to be a one fit club manager. His style and type of player are so distinct to City’s. He was tried at Burnley which flopped.

Pearson has baggage, had health problems but could fit the bill due to his stubbornness but would he want to come here?

But they would be far more expensive than Harris.

Paul Cook to me looks a decent manager, has character and IMO who’d go down well with the fans.

 

I like Paul Cook. Thought he might have gone to the Wendies before Pulis got the job and is probably too down to earth for Derby's taste.

Would be a good choice for us if Dalman and Tan have got the message that Harris was a bad one.

What worries me is that getting into the playoffs last season will stick in their minds and has clouded the issue.

 

Football fans, what planet do they come from ?
Never, ever, satisfied.
Last season Cardiff came from nowhere to the cusp of promotion under Harris, yet he is now the devil incarnate.
Same at Swansea, Cooper doing likewise, yet now under the cosh. In addition. the American owners, whose team it was/is, also reached the same cusp, with no acknowledgement of the achievement. More abuse was their reward.
It's all so predictable, and bloody boring.
Why don't any of the expert Managers who man 606 on a daily basis apply for the Managers posts ?
They seemingly have all the answers .
The problem is, however, that they don't actually know the questions.

 

Morning Vetch. Hope all is well with you and yours.
In many walks of life, I think never being satisfied is a strength. Sometimes being satisfied can stifle ambition and improvement.
I'm not sure anyone is accusing Harris of being the devil. Getting us into the playoffs last season was indeed an achievement but if we're honest, it was done in rather unusual circumstances (no fans) and with the aid of other teams fading away at the death.
I don't think anyone needs to be an expert when there's physical evidence of failings. However, we are expert enough to know that we are not good good enough to manage a Championship side and that's why we don't apply.
Surely, at the end of the day, isn't it an inherant trait of football fans to celebrate success and bemoan failure? That said, I agree that abuse is unnecessary.
Anyway, I guess that's the beauty of being a true football fan. It arouses so many emotions and differences of opinion.
Good to talk.

 

You and I have been around long enough on this forum to know you are always correct. .......

 

I suppose we could take Derby's lead and go for an up and coming young manager.

Always a pleasure, clingo.
Keep safe. Your Club needs you.

 

Gratifying to know you haven't forgotten.

 

At 9 years of age, Toby would to be too mature to manage you lot.

 

How could I forget.

I recall there was a time in the distant past when you thought those "smiley things" were childish - so into your second childhood now?........

 

no idea mate, car for sale?

 

Afternoon Robbie. Deserved win last night mate. Tough one on Saturday for you though against those high flying Canaries. Still, if you get in their faces, you never know. If you do get a result, there's a good chance you'll overtake us and be the top CCFC

 

Good to know that you still keep a file on me. Very KGB.
