" Sounds like Riza will be appointed manager "

Wed Dec 04, 2024 4:41 pm

A few cryptic clues on social media by someone who has got everything right.

Suggests that Omer Riza will be appointed the permanent manager.


Updated:


Omer Riza

Riza’s previous experience is lower Non League Cheshnut 10 years ago. 7 games with Leyton Orient in the Non League about 7 years ago (and Riza lost 5 of them) then next manager job is Cardiff City.






Paul Abbandonato:

“So I did say few weeks back Tan was giving @CardiffCityFC job to Riza for rest of season, with Bilic there as Jan back-up should it go wrong. I don't know why announcement has been delayed this long, I'm not sure it's the right call, but guess we hv to back Omer as it's happening.”






Omer Riza:

“On the Wednesday,I got on a flight. I got there on Thursday, then met on Friday, had a good chat, really intriguing and it's great to see what Mr Tan's achieved in the course of his lifetime.”
“I have nothing but respect and admiration for Mr Tan.”

Not a good idea..... what happens if lose couple games in a row? Said before can't give an interim manager the post based on his results while in charge? Whilst performances have improved results are indifferent and thats the problem going forward.

CARDIFF CITY FC ANNOUNCE OUR NEW MANAGER

That there is no one better for the job than Riza.
We have interviwed 30 prospective managers including
Cooper
Robbins
bilac
selles
Tony Mowbray
James Rowberry
Steven Schumacher
Michael Beale
Claude Makelele
And many more but we have decided that Riza is the best manager for Cardiff city
(Cheapest and he will not ask for any money in the January transfer window)
We think that all city fans will be ecstatic, and very happy with this appointment :thumbup: :ayatollah:

We haven't interviewed all of them candidates surely.

Re: " Sounds like Riza will be appointed manager "

Wed Dec 04, 2024 5:24 pm

Tan needs to back him or lose a shedload of cash. I am afraid he is penny wise pound foolish and it will be his undoing.

Riza is inexperienced at this level and we need someone big to sort out the club and give a multi season plan.

Its getting a bit tedious being a city fan, sorry customer at the moment and I am pretty dissatisfied with the product. Vinny said he can replace me with new fans.........Go on then mate :thumbright:

Even if we had interviewed all of them & many more at least half would have not even shown up & the other half probably wanted a contract longer than the end of the season, which I'm guessing may be the real issue here.

Do you seriously have this on good authority Igoverner? Your source is definitely credible and we've seriously interviewed all those managers behind the scenes?

We have not interviewed most of them I bet it's aload of tosh as usual. There's no way on this earth we have interviewed all of them besides riza is above them all if he gets the job right :lol: lets be honest if he does get the job its because hes cheap and a nodding lap dog for them above. That's the facts because you can't even compare some of them names to his portfolio of management, there worlds apart in management to date. So take I take everything most say on here with 20 pinches of salt :bluescarf:

Re: " Sounds like Riza will be appointed manager "

Wed Dec 04, 2024 5:57 pm

Ecstatic,,, No. Very happy,,, No. Surprised,,, No. Statement of Intent,,, Yes,,, No Interest in Cardiff City FC!

Re: " Sounds like Riza will be appointed manager "

Wed Dec 04, 2024 6:16 pm

Let’s be honest, no one really knows.

The other week it was stated that Bilic had agreed and that the news was directly from someone that knows Bilic.

Before that, there were comments about other managers.

Unfortunately until I hear anything from the non existent board, I won’t believe it.

I also don’t believe we interviewed everyone that is on that list.

Re: " Sounds like Riza will be appointed manager "

Wed Dec 04, 2024 6:23 pm

Football worlds Adam cleary says tan does not 100% believe in riza that's why he isn't the permanent manager? How many different stories are out there about the situation at city and which one is the truth?

Re: " Sounds like Riza will be appointed manager "

Wed Dec 04, 2024 6:24 pm

What I don’t get is why aren’t we told what’s going on? What’s the big secret? Surely there’s no harm informing your clientele.

Of course this is Tans plan, it has been all along, he appointed Morison the same way, similar circumstances, his way! Ignoring all names touted by media fans and bookies. This is no different, he even spoke to Morison about coming back! Riza is classic Tan decision making, cheap, from within, a yes man, of course he is going to be a yes man, he’s in dreamland punching above his weight given this opportunity, what other championship club would seriously give him a job in a relegation battle. It’s more madness from Tan. Those names mentioned I’d be very surprised if they were interviewed. It’s been Riza all along. Tan has been killing us slowly for the last 12 years and more so in the last 5. I wish his family would finally get their wishes an talk him into selling up. It’s a very unpleasant state he has us in, all by his own hand. And no accountability or consideration for his customers as he call us. Only voice he listens to is his own. TAN OUT

125th anniversary and we are in for a shit show for the rest of the season, PNE game will see the lowest ever championship crowd at the game

so the recruitment supergroup scoured Europe and by luck, the best candidate was already "in the building".

They are taking the mick

Re: " Sounds like Riza will be appointed manager "

If and it's still a big if Riza is appointed, I hope he proves a lot of people wrong. The flack and criticism he has received from some quarters has been totally over the top. Ofcourse hes not first choice for fans but hes a good character and clearly has some talent as a coach. Hes also working with a crap squad. Any manager will have their work cut out with this team. If he gets it, no point saying we down etc, he needs support not criticism. That's only way we will stay up.

Totally agree, I debated renewing my long standing season ticket this season. I’ll have to think hard next season, especially as there aren’t as many Saturday 15:00 kick offs. I can’t get to a lot of the games and when I do, I wish I hadn’t bothered :ayatollah:
