Did he sign him or did someone else have to approve it? Probably on the recommendation of an analyst, like the Norwich guy last night, then it’s how the manager utilises the players he has.

He got them to the playoffs last season, but if you go on a bad run you’re doomed. Surprised by it TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Our main weakness is our lack of physicality. No way would Neil Harris ever put up with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hustler Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Football is a results game and Cardiff have ambitious owners who demand results. End of. Unfortunately for us, we have a wet-blanket for an owner, a board who are happy with toeing the (owners) party line and whom, whilst full of good intentions, do not have the drive, determination or know-how to get this club (and fans) to where it should be after so many years of being the perennial under-achievers.

Bristol Rob Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 2 hours ago, Countryfile said: Because he’s followed the same path since he became owner with the same results. Except he hasn't. Thrown money at things - David James for example. Quick managerial changes - Millen, SOD Gone long with some managers - LJ Appointed 'big names' - Coppell Backed managers - clubs in bag approach, favoured my LJ, allowing GJ to sign players like magic daps even though he was never a GJ type of player. Denied managers - Cotts and his ambitious Andre Grey bid. And now he is some way in to his 5 pillars sustainable approach of youth and experience, giving academy kids a route to the first team supported by experienced players. There is probably a few more approaches or combinations of approach he has yet to try, but to say he is just doing the same thing all the time is a pretty poor argument.

The key thread being, I know what’s best, which he has proved he doesn’t. That’s what I mean by doing the same thing. James, was he wanted by the manager? Millen, SOD unproven, Coppell out of the game for a long time and had to be persuaded and pursued by SL. Denied Cotts the investment because he wasn’t a yes man.

Denied Cotts the investment because he wasn’t a yes man. Etc, etc. You are calling out excuses to fit your narrative, the reality is that different things have been tried. He has been hands on, hands off and somewhere in between, reality is we were am average league one side (in reality) when he got involved and we are now an established Championship side competing without parachute payments. Have mistakes been made? Yes. Has he had value for money? No. Should he shoulder some of the blame for some of the money wasted? Absolutely. But to say he doesn't want promotion, when 2 or 3 years top flight football could - in theory - give him a positive return on investment.... Back to you as to why he doesn't want promotion.

During the same time we’ve been promoted to the premier league zero times. Yes that’s right. They made the play offs last year - that alone matches our “achievements” under SL.
