Wouldn't it be better to be proactive rather than reactive & get the right man un the job first time, as we will be in the same position or worse a little further down the line? We need man that can attract & inspire players & Trollope is not that I'm sorry.

Yes I did that's exactly why I don't want him he got SACKED by Rovers who were in the relegation zone in the tier below with a record of 106 wins, 107 losses & 71 draws. Now tell me is that the ideal candidate to take on the challenge of returning to the Premier League?

Come on really?? He had a win record of 37.3% in the lower leagues with Rovers where he got dismissed from for being in the relegation zone! Getting to the quarter final FA Cup once is hardly a qualification for taking over a Championship level club neither is winning the FOURTH TIER play offs

He may well be a good coach but is he a head coach/manager by all accounts Steve McLaren is a fantastic coach but he's not a manager

i get your point :thumbright: but whatever manager he goes with we all know we're gonna be stuck with him for a while so we may as well get behind the team regardless on who takes charge :bluescarf:

Chris,

You are spot on here fella!

Of course we were pleased when Trollope arrived, slade was struggling and we were awful,

Trollope came in there was an Intial response and improvement but ultimately it was still not good enough! We still couldnt adapt when other teams made changes, we had no answers!

We def need a complete change! Manager, assistant and coaches! We really need to get this appointment right!

Got told something by a Welsh Baggie at the Hawthorns today. Bare in mind it's only a rumour But Tony Pulis may have played his last game for us. It's true that he has to meet Jeremy Peace and discuss his 1 year extension option. The rumour I got told is that he wants to go to Cardiff. As it's a project he can build on and get you back up. As I said pinch of salt because it is a rumour. But, we were talking about whether he'd stay because We've just hired somebody who does basically the same job as Gerry Francis in Nick Hammond. Which means he may not with us much longer. A possible option maybe?

It was a strong rumour here a month or so ago, but seems to have gone cold, and as the rest of the thread says, it doesn't look like the type of Manager Tan would go for unfortunately.

I think he would come and if he did, would get us up within a few season"s.

It was in the Sun today that Aston Villa want him to take them up, if he goes there, the would be one of the top three places in tha Championship gone already !!!

It looks like we will get Trollope and finish bottom half, and lose another few thousand fans.......

I did mean to say, I do agree that he will leave you, I think you and him both want to go in another direction. One things for sure, he won't be short of job offers !!!!

Re: UPDATED EXCLUSIVE UPDATE : CARDIFF CITY MANAGER

Sun May 15, 2016 8:02 pm

Seriously, who in there right mind would chose Trollope over Warnock or Pullis ???

If we end up with Trollope, it's acceptance of mediocrity and that we don't really want to go up IMO

If he's appointed we'll be looking for a New Manage within twelve months is my prediction........

Apologies I didn't read the entitre Thread I seem to have recycled the rumour. Sadly it's The Sun who wrote The Vile story I'd pee myself laughing if that happens :lol: As for The Vile they're doomed the whole squad needs gutting it won't happen as Nobody will pay their asking price. Second worst team in prem history League 1 bound

I think what our fans need/deserve is to be told what we can expect next season? Slade has been pushed out and we are looking for another manager, to do what? Are we pushing to get back to the premier league, are the club happy to just stay in the championship at the moment and look to push on in x amount of seasons ? What's the clubs plan? Are we ambitious or just staying safe in the championship,., until us fans know this we can't make any decisions on how we feel about a future manager? Tan needs to let us know what' the plain is if he wants fans backing , as I feel as a club we're in limbo.. :bluescarf:

Well the target this season was the play/offs and we failed hence Slade was removed. I would think the club would say the same.

I don't think we need to be told anything, why do you need to make a decision on a future manager? just wait and see who is announced and then see how he does.

he wont last that long imo i would say by xmas he will have us in a lower half position and tan will panic and we end up with another pair of "safe hands" which wont have any ambition but keeping us up,this is such a big decision thats why ppl keep wanting a name not that that works every time but it at least gives us the optimism that this season could be a gd one
