    We are Cardiff City Sparks, if football don't work we always do.

    We no longer have the players to go route 1.
    We saw that from the 2nd half at 'brough.

    Lets hope not Dai, this team can't play route 1, but they sure as hell can play football if allowed.

    Surely it will depend on the new manager and his staff?

    A real concern is the lack of any football nous making these decisions.

    Just look back at some highly debatable appointments- OGS, Trollop, Slade, McCarthy (not the appointment in first place but the new contract) as examples.

    Harris got us to the play offs (largely because he played Tomlin) so fair play and we know the good and bad of McKay & Warnock.

    The jury is out on Morison. As said before credit is due for jettisoning the dinosaur football and avoiding a relegation scrap, but he’s never helped himself by the way he conducts himself at interviews and bringing in questionable players like Sawyers, Philogene, Rhinomota, Nkounkou etc and not bringing in a proper striker from the start.

    It’s done, he’s gone and god knows who the pen pushers will bring in.

    Morrison has fallen into the same trap as Malky thinking after doing a good job it was their club both with massive egos, my way or now way. Jones got usin the play offs 5 times without any money, Malky got us up as Champions, Warnock got us promoted and even Slade got us in the play offs...we reached an FA cup finaland a league cup final. We are not a second rate team and should not play like one in the games we lost and it`s the fault of the manager. In every other field the manager works for the owner and customers not the other way round. Morrison was just an under 23 manager and he was given a great opportunity and after the first 4 games I was confident he would do it, the last 6 games have been a shambles even the game we were leading 3-0 and he is to blame so he sakcked himself.

    Firstly how long have VT, Choo and Dalman been running the club for?

    10 years or more?

    They might have had no football nous back then but with all we have been though they will have accumulated a fair bit over the years.

    Clearly, to me, something has gone on which we don't know about.

    But, he's gone, get someone in ASAP so he can work with the squad over the next 2 weeks. Ffs don't drag it out.

    In the championship it`s nice if we play good football and win but if not you got to be able to grind out results like Warnock and Malky. If we play well and lose fair enough but if we play badly and lose that is not acceptable. What is the point of having a manager if you only win one game in seven? Oh and by the way Hudson is responsable for some of the really bad defending so he needs to be sacked too.

    If we end up with that "type'" of manager we could easily see a return to % based football.

    I only hope they do have another "progressive" manager lined up.

    Yes and under them we were promoted twice, if they got it wrong before they changed the manager and that`s all they have done now.

    The only one I would have on that list would be Nathan Jones.

    Pretty much agree Irish, though I'll confess I don't know much about a few of them.

    Thing is Nathan Jones couldn't turn Stoke around so question marks remain.
    In saying that, at least with us he wouldn't have to ship out all the overpaid older players with being egos like he had to try do at Stoke, because Morison has already done all that hard work already!

    Outside the first two things dont look promising.
    Dyche had Burnley over acheiving for years.
    Nathan Jones similarly at Luton.
    The latter would be a good shout, but Tan would have to stick his hand down the back of the sofa for a bit of loose change.

    Route one is the goalie passes it to a defender and he passes it to the midfield and the pass it to the strikers, route one is not kick the ball as far and as high as you can back to the other side, the only route that will take you is on the defense.

    Well a manager who already got us promoted would be a good start.

    I wouldn't mind Dyche, but I don't think we could offer a reasonable contract that he would accept.
