And a manager who has overseen a season that has exceeded expectations - and could still achieve a play off place - might well be the person to do it. Look at the trajectory of this club over the last five years and see if you can spot a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 One thing that gets me with these threads is alternative names are rarely offered. Who guarantees a better return than LJ with our budget? Rowett was flavour of the month this time last year - now scarcely doing better at a significantly bigger club. Warnock is an obvious candidate but splits fan opinion and clearly isn’t leaving Cardiff. Who exactly is guaranteed to do better and is definitely worth breaking up the valuable continuity and knowledge of the squad that LJ has and can continue to build on?

Look at the trajectory of this club over the last five years and see if you can spot a trend. A season that has exceeded expectations... yes. Could still achieve a play off place... yes. Trajectory... yes. Do I think LJ should get the bullet... no. but Should we be satisfied by our league position? No. Not at all. The last three months have been nothing short of abhorrent and we shouldn’t let out judgement be clouded by the fact that we had a brilliant start. I’m not surprised that a little unrest is creeping in. To be satisfied with this is a little bit like a homeless man winning 1m on the lottery, spending 990k in a week and still being happy that he’s rich cos he’s got 10k left. It isn’t something to crow about. LJ is still in credit, but a repeat of Monday and more patience will be running thin. We can’t ignore how dire we’ve been for such a long time.

I don’t disagree with any of that Fordy. The broad picture is still positive but the recent history is undoubtedly a concern. But for now at least I think the former trumps the latter.

Just to answer your Q, the manager I like is Monk. Nit that I want LJ gone though. He would be a realistic choice for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk is the new Mark Hughes, I wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole, if we were to take on a new Manager it has to be somebody with success at getting teams promoted from the Championship or with good success elsewhere I.e. the Wolves Manager, otherwise what’s the point?

cidered abroad Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 If or when LJ leaves City, I believe we should go European for our Head Coach. For very simple reasons. Coaches in Western Europe are well used to the idea of a head coach and that they are responsible for the first team only. A football director is responsible for recruitment and playing style, and which hardly changes from year to year : players and other coaches at all levels are recruited to fit this pattern which evolves much more seamlessly than the way it's done in UK. Thus we don't have to go through a massive change because the first team coach is changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
