Leadership Qualities

Now that we have a new manager who do think Malky will select to be team captain this year with the CURRENT squad, last year we had a man with all the credentials to lead the team in Craig Bellamy he had passion, desire and a will to win and never give up he also wasn't afraid to tell his team mates to wise up if they were starting to play shit. Mark Hudson was vice captain but tbh as much as he started to play well last season I don't think he possesses the qualities to become a good captain ie someone who is commanding and shouting orders to the players on the pitch. I don't know much about our new signings but something tells me i think we're gonna have a new leader on the pitch this season if we don't have Bellers in the side I think it could be Don Cowie what does everyone else think do you think Hudson will be captain or will we have a new leader on the pitch

Hudson or mcphail

ball boi

Hudson actually does communicate with the other players ?

Gerrard ?

Kevin McNaughton or Don Cowie.

Just because a player shouts it doesn't make them a good captain. I'd your boss constantly shouts at you, in the end you take what they say with a pinch of salt. It's all about respect and IMO a captains role is more off the pitch than on it.

Gerrard ?

I think it could be Gerrard, Hudson or Cowie

Whoever the capt is, as for qualities i would insist on:
A thourogh knowlegde of the "ETHOS" OF CARDIFF CITY
A unquestioned believe to the cause.
To show:
commitment
loyalty
integrity
passion
Heart on sleeve type attitude
willing to die for the cause
A educated footballer, who can read a game and talk on terms with his manager
ABOVE ALL, COMMANDS RESPECT FROM HIS TEAM MATES, THAT WILL FOLLOW HIM INTO NO-MANS LAND.
And a manager that will back him all the way, or fall on his sword if it went wrong.
I think we are getting ready guys, lets follow our leader.

Agree with that great post.

Respect from team mates is vitally important, some need a kick up the bracket, others need a little TLC, so someone who is able to do both those things and still hold that respect will do a fine job IMO. Hard to choose any individual yet as our squad is still growing in numbers, but Gerrard certainly would be the first over the trenches if the going got tough.

Didn't Gerrard end up as captain for Hull City whilst on loan for them last season?

Yeah believe so, can't fault his commitment to the cause, his downfall could possibly be his temper.

As long as manager and capt got a clear understanding of what is expected, and can be relayed to the team both off/on the pitch, and the players have faith in their desicions.. we will be ok

Bellers has a temper too I think Gerrard could have matured since coming back from Hull

Hudson or mcphail

Mcphail cant be a captain as he will not start a game
