I really never like to wish other teams anything but the very best, but I must say that the situations I see developing at both Newcastle and Fulham might be strategically helpful to Cardiff City. Both are likely to make the stupid error of sacking their manager half way through the season in the hope that this will help their problem , which it won't. Quite the reverse actually and to be disgracefully cynical , it won't hurt our prospects if they want to volunteer for two of the relagation spots.

Chairman and Manager not on the same page from the start of the season .
Their 2 main strikers gone to Fulham and WBA ( Both have scored goals ) .
All i see from Newcastle is they kick players more than the ball !!! :shock:

I hope he stays a while longer. There only going one way. I think it was a bit of mind games from Warnock saying Rafa won’t walk he probably hopes he stays a while longer as well.

Often the case, unless they can get one of the specialist quick organisational Managers like Allardyce, Pullis or to a lesser extent Roy Hodgson, I think Warnock could do a similar job as he did for Rotherham and us.

All of them are safe in work for the moment, so only Allardyce available and after being sacked at Newcastle before looks extremely unlikely to go there, although he or Hodgson if sacked at Palace, could help Fulham?

Brendon Rodgers is the only other Manager that I can quickly think of that could become available and quickly organise a team and keep them up.
