BobBobSuperBob Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Apparently on £35k a week !!!!!following their promotion , and also contract until 2020 Good luck with offloading the pork pie Taffs There was an interview the other day where Tomlin states he couldn’t perform at his best unless he was loved / appreciated What a dork and not the brightest button I also see he’s completely wiped all his history from his Instagram history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 So it appears that those who said that the reason he failed here was that Johnson didn't know how to handle him, and that a Manager like Warnock would get more out of him due to his superior Man-Management skills, were right again...................

BobBobSuperBob Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 http://www.cardiffcityforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=199878 Watched a video interview with Tomlin and, he does come across as a bit of a dunce. Talent in abundance no doubt but, his intellect is questionable. And he thinks himself that this is what holds him back. So, if he feels that he's not getting "loved" or "appreciated" by the club then that reflects down on his confidence and attitude. He states in the interview that if he is not liked then he won't pull his weight and this has all transformed into his personal life where off field problems have followed him around. Talent is not enough for Tomlin. His mental deficiencies do directly affect how he reacts to his on field activity and, if its against him you won't get the 100% from him. That seems to be the case with Tomlin and Cardiff City. Needs to be cuddled in cotton wool rather than work at his game. A career going nowhere fast And now they’re Posing the q is Bobby Reid the new Tomlin !!! http://www.cardiffcityforum.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=2&start=240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Fair play to the writer of the article.

Robbored Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Another club that Tomlin has flopped at. What a waste of talent but he’ll be laughing all the way to the bank with his weekly wedge to add to all the signing on fees he’ll have received throughout his career. Nice work if you can get it....

RedM Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 So Tomlin completely crumbles unless he is cheered huh, I doubt if we will ever play him again the way his career is plummeting but noted anyway. Had a quick glance on the Cardiff forum, it’s pretty depressing seeing them discussing Arsenal and Chelsea tickets etc, but skim past that and they are convinced Bobby will be good for them next season in the Championship, which is funny. Earlier I saw a link on Twitter to the same article which was in their local paper, one of the comments was that Tomlin should have gone out on loan to a top 6 Championship side, no thanks we don’t want him back! It would be ironic IF we did make a go of it this season and get promoted and pass Bobby in the other direction and maybe leave Flint missing out in the playoffs too. Very, very slim chance of that happening but with them both being with us for years it would be just like us to finally do it without them.

Sadly true However whilst someone like Josh Brownhill continually posts about his football - Tomlins Instagram offers not the slightest clue he’s ever played football , with his big excitement being taking delivery of his new Bentley Tomlin is exactly the sort that will blow his undeserved riches in a few years His ego must be really pained right now with no Club really interested in him - he’s begun to post ‘philosophical messages’ now (it doesn’t hoodwink anyone Tomlin you don’t have the grey matter t be a philosopher) 5 Clubs in six years says it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 For me, Tomlin is one of the most dislike able players we've ever had. You can just tell from his social media and bits in interviews that the guy is a complete moron and would be cancerous in the dressing room when things aren't going well. @Davefevs and I have discussed this before, but anyone who thinks Tomlin is a good bloke - watch this. Supposed to be a lighthearted banter piece about knowing your teammates, but in my opinion it's clear from how he takes it too far and almost becomes quite personal numerous times that he's a nasty piece of work. You can see Wilbraham reign him in a few times and no wonder they roomed them together to keep a lid on Tomlin. I dread to think how poisonous he was during that unbeaten spell. Good riddance and I am pretty sure he'll be one of the many players who eventually goes bankrupt after his career is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a clear distinction between the way they both handled Tomlin, with Warnock swiftly seeing LT for what he was and relegating Tomlin to a sub, then barely involved at all, then shipped out on loan at the first opportunity in January, and Cardiff's promotion campaign rattled on regardless; Tomlin was never going to derail Warnock. Whereas LJ kept giving Tomlin chances, put out that embarrassing interview about them "having a chuckle at the suggestion they had fallen out," hoping he would "play ball" and behave, comply, culminating in the 0:5 debacle at Preston in April, at which point we were staring relegation in the face. Only then, with about 6 games left to save our skins, did LJ finally act decisively and pick Taylor instead, and choose team harmony over individual ability. Tomlin almost got us relegated. That is the difference between Warnock and LJ. That is "superior management." No doubt, a very valuable learning opportunity for LJ though.

If Warnock was that superior at doing his job he would have read between the lines and not bought the waster in the first place. Johnson needed to get the most out of a significant investment that I don't believe he really wanted in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
