What does that make them, d’you reckon? Naive. Why would SL employ a 67yr old to implement his strategy/philosophy? Add to that the fact that Colin is vastly experienced and will have developed over the years his own style of going about things. I doubt that it would be compatible with SLs vision for our club.

This place is getting unbearable. From relegation threatened last year, to League Cup semifinalists this year (beating Man Utd and twice being seconds away from draws v Man City), 7th in the League with 12 games left, record transfer fee smashed, a number of really bright prospects and being near capacity for most match days this season. And yet still on here it is like suicide hotline. "Oh we won't get this chance again"... really, did you foresee this season at the end of last?; "Our best players will all leave in their droves"... really, like they were predicted to in January?; "We should have pushed the boat out"... think about it, that might have resulted in us buying Diony for a fee. If we don't win Saturday, I think I'll start avoiding OTIB. The undermining that is going on here and baseless criticisms - see above - are shocking. If we don't win Saturday you won't be the only one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't win and of course the critics are out in force then I see it as my role of pantomime villain to challenge their negativity. Hopefully that scenario won't develop but if it does I could use your support Major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Thought some of his post Cardiff insights and comments were interesting, he is obviously frustrated with some injuries affecting the squad, it would also appear that he will not tolerate complacency . I think that as we will probably just miss out on the play offs ............. that there will be quite a few comings and goings,. He obviously knows exactly what is required, and will not think twice about getting rid of deadwood, and recruiting what is needed to make us genuine promotion contenders. On the evidence of the transfers thus far and the matches of the past 2 months I see relatively little evidence of any of these three highlighted remarks.

Not often I disagree with you Hav but I think this is unfair. I think we all know the transfer policy and a rough idea of the limits of our spending, I would have thought it was fairly clear that the market we are in we have to buy "mediocrity" with a view of turning it into something better. We all have made the mistake of prejudging a few of our signings, before they have had the chance to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players LJ has signed weren't all brought in to be first team regulars. Obviously some were Diedhiou, Pisaro, Djuric, Walsh and Baker to name just five but three of them have had long term injuries and in that regard LJ has had some bad luck as the players have. City are going through a slump in recent games just as most clubs do, Cardiff had a slump over the Xmas/New Year period. Leeds had a similar slump and sacked their manager again........ Despite the recent poor results City are still in the mix at the top of the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bothers me is the broad acceptance that it "simply happens". Surely the job of a coach is to identify the reasons and alleviate them before they are entrenched, significantly mitigating the downturn. I'd be more accepting of a 'fluctuation' in form. Its the feast or famine that I can't blindly accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
