Our new first team coach

So we had it confirmed today that Darren Purse is now a first team coach.

Still can't believe I'm writing those words.

This is after winning only seven of 29 games in the Professional Development League last season and conceding 66 goals in those games.

The only team that finished below them were Colchester from League Two and that was only on goal difference.

I don't believe this rubbish that the results don't matter and it's about getting them in the first team. The best academy managers will get results as well as having players promoted to the first team. He can't even have the excuse that he lost players to the first team because not many were promoted to the first team set up last season on a regular basis.

So well done to the club, he's clearly earned this opportunity

Absolutely unbelievable yet again by the clowns running our club.

Just like it was temporary when Hudson, Morison and Ramasut all got promoted to the first team.

They were managers tho ? Not coaches

Hes there because some of the other coaches left with Bulut.

The club have not come out and said he's leaving his post with the U23s for the first team.

I don't want him anywhere near the first team, I don't even want him with the U23s, but this topic is rather misleading.

Not misleading at all.

Riza said he is working with the first team.

Or are you calling Riza a liar??

Because they brought people in for the time being.

You're implying in your post, that he has been moved to the first team permanently, even the title.

The club haven't said that.

Is he coaching the first team? Yes.

So that makes him a first team coach.

The club haven't said anything and if they did then who would really believe them?

Ramasut was supposedly moved up to the first team as a coach temporarily with Morison and he's still there.

Purse should not be anywhere near our first team.

It’s just a continuation of Disasters

Not one of the three have ever managed a First Team in the EFL

Ned,

Your wasting your time as Wez Loves Tan and Purse and will back them even if they take us down with the worst record in our history once again under Tan.

Pointless replying to Wez, We Love Our Club and want the best for Our Club, he loves the Regime.

Not sure what the club are supposed to do in this scenario? Ofcourse he would step up to help. Bulut and his assistant have gone and the goalkeeper coach is on gardening leave. Only sensible as a temporary measure no matter how much people dislike him. For the record reults have improved at U21 level this season. And Reindorf has emerged as a talent.

When u read your post, you realise what a mess and a shambles our club has become year after year under This Regime.

Funny many of us predicted this.

Club Would been much better to leave rizza to run the 25 man1st team squad on his own then wouldn't get the hysteria on here!

Allan,

I agree with you

I don't disagree with you on that. The fact this scenario is every season is totally shambolic but you can't blame Purse for that. Maybe he'll have an influence to actually get some of our U21 players to play in the first team now. Be nice to see Reindorf on the bench at the weekend.

And this is on of the many reasons I want a permanent manager in now, not wait for 3 weeks to start the process, there are enough good candidates out there available that would be a vast improvement on what we have had for a good few seasons now.

Appoint someone now, even if it is Rizza (not my choice) so they can sort there own back room out and we can move on, I hate this interim stuff, just make a decision and let someone get on with it otherwise we will go down.

Allan,

I agree with you

But only story on purse is he's one bookies favourite for job ? That's it nothing on city sire nothing on wol.... could do with a link on this because I suspect story would be purse moves to help riza with 1st team squad.... that makes more sense as a story but obviously we cannot have him as head coach at city think give my St to friends until he's gone if it happens

Correct; I predicted Riza was Tan’s man before Bulut went and I stand by that…

Tan would like an internal appointment and giving Purse (100% not my choice) an opportunity to work with Riza could well be an audition/dress rehearsal for the opening of the next play at the Theatre of Screams…

Chris if this is tans plan he had better be prepared for life in div 1 .... then we'll see how he copes with a massive loss of income and if he's lucky he might get a packet of bon bons and a lucky bag for the club!

Purse was an ex player we all supporting him when he played for us how fickle have we become when you look at the younger setup it’s not been that bad we have players who could play in our first team easily we had a manager who didn’t want to trust youth players get a grip seriously we are not Manchester City!!

He has been terrible with the U21s. It's only now that the results are getting better.

Look at the U21 table for last season.

Which youngsters could play for us now?

Only one I can think of is Reindorf.

I believe conte could contribute I believe Sagan Walcott wouldn’t be out of place in our first team I think Colwill who we sent on loan could of been introduced to the first team plus reindorf is more a product of nowich city rather than Cardiff city only my opinion I’m not a coach
Just somebody that’s watched Cardiff city from the age of 6 1968 I’m
Now 62 and still believe in whoever we have in. Charge

You can only polish a turd so much. Much of last seasons under 21's were not up to it anyway and were made up of teenagers as well most of the time. Reindorf could be anything but may well end up our main striker if he gets his chance. He'll have to learn on the job.

What a load of rubbish, no offence.

Just because he was a good player it doesn't mean we should ignore the fact he's totally out of his depth. He should have left the club long ago.

People need to open their eyes and see that the only place the hierarchy, Riza and Purse are taking us is League One.

Hope everyone is looking forward to Stevenage away next season. Maybe then they'll see what these idiots are doing to our club.

He could have won 29 games in the Professional Development League last season and not produced a single player first team player.
As we saw at the end of last season quite a few of our younger players looked decent
We also lost 3/4 players to premier league.
Riza 's coaching career is not mouth dropping stuff either.

How many players did he lose to the first team last season? Not many on a consistent basis.

You're right on the last sentence.

The fact that these two have been put in charge by the three clowns is ridiculous.

Hello League One.

So Darren Purse is the new first team coach of Cardiff City.
With the players that Purse has had at his disposal at the age group sides he hasn’t done a bad job.
At the end of the day these are development sides, the primary objective is to improve these players so that they will progress to the first team or be sold to other clubs or will fall by the wayside as probably around 90%+ will do.
Do we all agree so far?
The majority of the time a successful manager develops by being in the right place at the right time?
Why do people on this site say Darren Purse has no right to be manager of Cardiff City?
Tell me who you have managed, coached and at what level? Everyone has the right of an opinion but what weight does your opinion hold? What quality of player has Purse had at his disposal?
If Purse can win 2 of his first 4 games give him a contract for ?
How can you argue against?
We have 1 point from 5 games, we are in the shit.
Has anybody with managerial and coaching qualifications at this level got any alternative ideas and can back it up?
