" I SAID IT 10 DAYS AGO "

I personally Believe Neil Ardley and Terry Burton will have some say next season, They wanted Bells like I had Said previously but he preferred to continue playing, which I dont blame him

Chris Houghton has Offered himself at £250,000, I wonder if they will offer him the job. Hmm

The first part is my opinion, the second half is what I was told from inside the club

This is where we will find out the true investment, ie; Do they promote from within and take a chance on a winning formula, or do they spend money on someone who wants to come and has managerial experience?

Good point Rita

chris hughton was on a reported 400k at newcastle , which was the lowest in the premier league at the time..

would'nt be a bad option....

obviously we would all prefer someone like martin oneill but i suppose it all comes down to wages etc...

Hughton does not fill me with confidence, I could have got that Newcastle team up. Di Matteo much better choice.

so Di Matteo has approached city?

250k a year! i think that would be good business.. considering west ham have just offered a two year deal worth 3 mil for allardyce...

i would rather chris hughton than promoting from within...

I would be happy with Hughton. He has coached and managed at the top level with Tottenham, Newcastle and the Republic of Ireland has served under Ray Clemence, Doug Livermore, Osvaldo Ardiles,Gerry Francis, Christian Gross,George Graham, Glen Hoddle, David Pleat, Jaques Santini,Martin Jol, Joe Kinnear, Brian Kerr and Kevin Keegan. Had several successful short stints as a caretaker manager with Newcastle and got them promoted from the Championship to the Premier League at the first attempt with a points tally of 102, unbeaten at home and losing only 4 league games all season. His managerial record although a short one is very impressive. He has managed 80 games, Won 42 drawn 19 and lost 19 for an impressive 52.5% win ratio.

At first glance he looks an inexperienced manager. However he has enormous experience under some top class coaches and managers and his record proves he has learned something along the way.

At £250,000-00 per annum he looks a snip to me when you consider we were paying £800,000 for a failure of a manager who has barely won anything in 37 years as player and manager.

Chris Hughton gets a big thumbs up from me.

Annis, personally who would you like to see as Cardiff City manager?

Neal Ardley is favourite now.

Annis, personally who would you like to see as Cardiff City manager?

Neil Warnock, Ian Holloway or an up and coming manager Darren Ferguson

I'd be disapointed if we got hughton but suicidal if we got Burton and Ardley! Burton has been here for to long, we need fresh ideas on the training ground and Ardley is not only inexperienced but he hasn't been setting the world alight with the academy! I know from my own experience and from listening to people on here that the academy is far from perfect and is dropping clangers all over the place

do you think qpr r going to give warnock any time?

He would be a great manager!

Not sure about darren ferguson, Holloway has just signed a 1 yr extension with Blackpool hasnt he?

For £250k I would take hughton on - he has offered himself at a reasonable price, (probably with normal promotion bonus clause) - he is determined to prove himself to do well - by putting himself forward as he has, he has worked under many good managers and knows how to get a team playing football.

If the reported 250k is the salary that he his willing to work for then surely that shows that he has a point to prove.. He has offered his services to us and is prepared to be manager without the big wages..

Hughton does not fill me with confidence, I could have got that Newcastle team up. Di Matteo much better choice.

Why do you think Matteo would be a better option than Hughton, Hughton is far more experienced and has worked with some top managers in his 13 years as 1st team coach/assistant/caretaker/manager, compared to Matteos half a season at MK Dons and a season and half at West Brom who also had a team far better than anyone else in the champ the season they went up.

Jones should of got this cardiff team up this year, he didn't. You can only do what's infront of you

Di Matteo got Mk Dons to third in his first ever season as manager and then got WBA up (inevitable)

Warnock is unlikely obviously, Holloway is better suited to small clubs IMO, does superbly at Blackpool etc. but stick him in charge at somewhere like Leicester and he relegates them Ferguson is also unlikely seeing as he has just got Peterborough promoted.

Personally I'd like to see a relatively young manager like Ferguson - my two choices would be Malky Mackay and Lee Clark. Anyone of those two would be great IMO ! Give them funds and see what they can do ! Mackay has done brilliantly at Watford, not a lot of money but he's big on young players (maybe he has no choice really seeing as they consistently turn out very good youngsters ) but he could've decided not to play them but he has and they were in with a decent shout of the play-offs back around December/January time ! Lee Clark has done well at Huddersfield and I wouldn't mind him bringing his young goalie Alex Smithies with him as well

3rd wasn't good enough though the same as Dave Jones' 4th place with Cardiff the past two years. He did do well with a good WBA side in the champ but awful in the prem whereas Hughton was doing qutie well when sacked. I can't see why people think Matteo would be better when Hughton has so much more experience at management level, thats my opinion anyway

This is where we will find out the true investment, ie; Do they promote from within and take a chance on a winning formula, or do they spend money on someone who wants to come and has managerial experience?

Or they could just go for the best man for the job.

Revolutionary thinking I know.

The wages are perfect, but a lot of managers want to come, which shows how far we have come

Well isn't that amazing !! When we lost 5-1 to Newcastle Jones the Job was on £800.000 with bonuses and Houghton was on £400.000. So us getting Knobbed 5-1 was a massive embarrassment to Jones then
