Oh the BBM who is regarded as one of the best young coaches in the game. Was key in the Man City Youth setup for three years before taking a step into top flight coaching at a PL club?

Is this the Brian Murphy that has only managed Rochdale and recently been (assistant) coach at Leicester who have just had their worst season ever?

Cardiff to do a L1 version of Luton? Would be amusing.

Very unlucky as he made the final 3 for both jobs. You’d probably consider both clubs bigger than us too.

Be interesting to see what he does next.

Surprised he’s not looked at Europe like Lee Johnson did.

We love him within the boundaries of the shire but that means little elsewhere. I could see him going to the Aussie league or maybe the states but I think that would possibly bring the curtain down permanently on a career on these shores.

As others have said, if he wants to stay in England, he needs to gain a foothold and build a real identity. I think he will need to drop down a couple of leagues

I guess it depends on reputation within the game too?

Didn’t Vaulks mention something in this week’s The Dub about there needing a change of manager. I wonder why apart from the 15 game no win time.

Doesn’t always translate to men’s football though.

Completely different skill set. I think it’s a risk for them.

I mean could well have been during the interview Des thought 'not for me' about any of these. Just because he applied/was approached, doesn't mean he would take the job when they get down to the nitty gritty of it all.

Looks like Luke Williams is back at Notts County.
Not sure if Cardiff is still vacant as Ramsay seems to be caretaker

Wasn't it something to do with the fact that Rowett has plans for every game - more so than Des (presumably).

Cardiff City have confirmed the departure of Aaron Ramsey, with the midfielder set to move to Mexico.
Ramsey has agreed a deal to sign for Mexican side Club Universidad Nacional - known as Pumas UNAM.

Wickipaedia seems very slow at updating. Hopefully Des will get a job very soon
