I think its still too early to judge yet. I was hoping Des would come in and continue where Manning left off. But that hasn't paid off. The excuses of injuries or squad unbalances only go so far and while its true both have been a factor (injuries to key attacking players and lack of a decent...

If it had been Karl he would have bought no main courses or desserts, just 6 bottles of wine for £50 each, 2 of which would be corked and the others well past their sell by date. Half of these would be delivered after half the week had past. But don't worry next week he would get the shopping...

If the recruitment goes horribly wrong yes Manning would have some responsibility (but the decision to promote from within and not appoint any one higher up to oversee and or sign off transfers would also be a major factor potentially). If Williams et al have built another structure where the...

I like a lot of what Mag Dog87 is suggesting but the sad fact is it is going to take at least 3 windows to complete a lot of this rebuild. For next season I think we need to do the following: 1 Goal Keeper 1 Right back 1 Left back 1 Holding midfielder 2 Strikers (in addition to keeping Taylor if...

Josh has been on a downward slope for over 2 years, with last season especially disastrous (maybe this season has topped it). What Cardiff thought of him when he left His loan to Preston It appears that Josh may never have had the right attitude for a professional footballer, and I doubt this is...

Its a very governmental way of thinking that more managers make for a successful outcome. What we need is better people in the top jobs (or at the very least for the people already there to do a better job). This season the club has been run on the football side as a bit of a disaster. We have...

Sorry what I meant was that the board has recently demonstrated that they have poor decision making regarding the running of the football (on the pitch) side of the club. They may be great at football finance, stadium projects, and other high level stuff. But who can honestly defend them for...

What I would expect to see is an improved performance, and maybe a new formation that suits he players we have better. I would expect we would be harder to beat, although I have no idea where our firepower is going to come from. I would love a draw (a win maybe asking too much), but a loss with...

If we are in league 2 we are going to need some big physical players (we do now but more so further down). I agree with MiddleBartonYellow's shopping list of A goalkeeper, left back, defensive midfielder, a couple of strikers and maybe a couple of wide players as the start of a decent team. The...

About our contracted players who we no longer want. The question was asked why use money to pay them off. To me the answer is all about the team, we are now rebuilding for the future and some of these unwanted players are a reminder of utter failure of this season. Are these players going to...

Manning is not the manager I would have picked (not in my top 5). He maybe isn't the manager we need right now. However if he has the job it's only fair to give him our full support and to see what happens. The measure for him this season will be to get our players playing well and make bring...

I agree its good some of the right moves are happening (a couple were already underway). The one thing I am reassured of is the commitment of the owners both to the stadium and club. What has been utterly lacking is the competency of the people appointed so far to handle the football side of...

Well the decision has been made, finally. The big worry is that the board have left it far too late. Its not hindsight to say KR has been dead man walking all season. The summer was an utter disaster one that followed the previous dodgy January. There were many of us on here that stated he...

To be honest TIm came across very positively. Its good to hear of the owners commitment and that the triangle is a viable site. That sort of clears up the loss of commitment argument. So now its down to competance. I would trust Tim with the stadium but regarding running the club I have doubts...

Do they really though. If the run continues and given the vast unpopularity of Karl gates will be down, so money will be lost there. Plus there is the consideration that if we go down the cost is huge. In league 2 with our squad on league 1 wages (and a good chunk of it needing replacing) the...
