You say you like the guy, yet you persist in calling him names & belittling him at every opportunity & I don't get why. I doubt very much he's going to get us far after this season but that doesn't mean I'm going to call him names while he is here trying his best, he's done nothing to deserve it as far as I'm aware.

I like his attitude and his love of the game.

But Ned is either trying to wind us up and if he is it’s working.

As I accept Riza till May, No other choice and want us to stay up.

But NO way if We have Ambition do I or many others want him here next season.

Am I not entitled to my views??

Or are you trying to force me to say Yes great manager and be a bullshitter. As that’s not me.

Maybe you but Def not me I say it as I see it.

I expect us to stay up this season.

Every manager has to get their chance somewhere. Riza has been given his with us and he is still learning.

He will have learnt a lot from this season and that means he won't make the same mistakes next season.

I think he'll need a few more young signings and at least one more coach.

But if he keeps us up, he will stay and he could be the man to take us back to the Premier League.



Well done for saying what you think. If he keeps us up he'll be our manager next season I think.



And take us to the Premier League Martin :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or League 1


I can’t wait to see who keeps posting this shite to remind them next season as Riza gets Sacked by Xmas.


Will you say sorry if I'm right and Riza takes us up next season Annis?

I really believe with the right young signings and another coach, he will come good.

Remember that Malky, Warnock etc all got their chance somewhere.

Riza definitely will be the manager next season and I believe he has what it takes.



Riza takes us up to the Premiership, Ned, I will buy you a season ticket.

Listen of course the Clown at the Top is happy with him, and will probably keep him. He’s cheap, a Yes man, puppet and Tans ambition is that to stay in the Championship.

Pathetic

He just copies what he sees on match of the day. We have a big lad who was dominating their 2 centre halfs but we fucked around with daft triangle in our penalty box that they were waiting for and laid the traps and we just hoof it anywhere with the slightest press.

Burnley, with far superior players, did it properly, then thought they did enough.

Sorry Riza may have his coaching badges, but he doesn't have an identity, he needs to develop that. I barely recall Warnock leaving his 433 or Malky's 4141. We see five formations in a game.

He hadn't done enough for a national league job, forget a championship role. This is a bottom quantile squad but he isn't making it better and thats his job to make the sum greater than the parts

If Riza is doing such a great job, after being in charge since September, why are we even considering that we are in a relegation battle or considering we could go considering apparently he’s doing such a great job.

And Riza fans go in to games saying we will probably lose the next one etc :lol:

Our squad is bottom eight standard and since he took charge, we are 17th. So doing about right.

Shows with a top six squad he'd have us top six.

You mean our position says 21st

No the team / squad are capable of being Top 8

Current League Table does not lie.
This includes his honey moon period all new mangers get.

Riza will just about keep us up, then should apply for Newport County managers job.

This team should by now be 8th.

Table does lie because he wasn't manager at the start of the season. He was a coach, but that doesn't count.

17th since he took charge.

This is a bottom eight squad so he has us where we should be.

Ned,

Riza took us over after being assistant knew the Squad well and then took charge and has kept us in the Bottom 5 all season.

He defends beyond , loses us points and keeps saying “IF IF IF IF”.

The fact is Riza you have a lot of good players and your inexperience does not get the best out of them.

I'll say it again, we have a bottom eight squad and under Riza we're 17th.

He's doing just about where our squad our in the league.

I don't think others would do much better, some would actually do worse.

Our squad is top 8 quality according to some.

We produce the best players in the championship far more than any other club, no one competes with us.

Despite the club allegedly also being rubbish at recruitment and not producing a star player from the academy for 45 years, according to some

This isn't as crazy a post as many are saying. I too believe we will stay up, the squad is too good to go down.

As you say, every manager starts somewhere. We all know the story of Fergie nearly getting sacked in the 1989-90 season but was saved by Mark Robbins goal against Forest in the cup. Let me make myself clear, I'm most definitely not comparing Riza to Fergie but Fergie did struggle in his first 3 years at United. Unfortunately Managers don't get that much time anymore.

For Riza to be a success with Cardiff, he needs to be more attack minded from the start. Our defence is not good enough to rely on sitting back for the first half, we usually then have to chase the game in the second half.

We were originally told Riza is an attacking coach and we saw that in the home games against Plymouth and Portsmouth. Where has this attacking style gone?

It's been mentioned on here that Tan contacts him many times before, during and after a game and that Riza is a yes man. Maybe the only way for Riza to establish himself as a good manager/coach is to grow a pair and tell Tan he's going to do it his own way.

If the Plymouth and Portsmouth games are an example of Riza doing it his way, then maybe Ned is right.

Re: Riza can take us to the Premier League

Sat Mar 08, 2025 11:13 am

Premier League yeah definitely.

Southern Premier League Central.


For his spirit, passion and desire I’d certainly have Riza as a coach,
but for the level we currently play at and for the talent at our disposal, we need a more experienced manager to get the most out of the side.

Re: Riza can take us to the Premier League

Sat Mar 08, 2025 1:13 pm

To get to premier league he will need good assistants got one but purse is not of required standard or experience needs to go ... riza knows good players he's sighned a few already so now it's s case of finding out why he's gone backwards from when started with his attacking formation? Yes we've hade decent unbeaten run but in reality a more adventurous outlook would have resulted in several more wins ! We have good players shame they're not being used in a way that shows this but only when we are chasing game like Tues do we see how good can be.
