Is that right ????


That is apparently correct.


[/quote="Blackwood_Bluebird"]

Would you trust a decision as important as this one to your staff ????

I wouldn't I would have to been hands on, this is the most important decision they will make, THEY MUST GET IT RIGHT, YOU CAN COCK UP ON PLAYERS, BUT NOT THE MANAGER !!!!!!

I HAVE FAITH IN THEM TO DELIVER :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:[/quote]

I completely agree with you, what I think will happen is that jenkins and whiteley will interview the applicants and will give their opinion to the owners, but the final decision will be down to the owners, Im sure they know they have got to get this decision right.

Can't we stop this pathetic Jones in/out Brigade/mob nonsense even now he's gone????

I accept there were a few who supported DJ who had this ridiculous view that we wouldn't be able to replace him with someone as good or better.

But I'm sure many more like myself recognised that there were many good quality applicants out there who would be only too glad to manage us.

Please don't make such stupid generalisations.


Generalisations..? People stated it very often on here



Yes generalisation in that you seem to be saying that all those who supported Dave Jones were saying it.

Which is far from the case.

I thought that GJ & AW were to search for a new manager and advise the board so that would suggest they will do the initial interview then probably make a recommendation for the board to consider.

We are in exciting times for the club no doubt about it and I bet that amongst these 20 applicants there are some very experienced managers but give me the old days when the Chairman just went out a got a manager. In fairness Huw The Spew has done a cracking job down at Swansea on that score.

I hope the process doesn't drag on though because I think when we hear who will be our new manager it will be a big lift for us all, I've just got a feeling about it. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Might be a pointless question but where would they do the interviews?
Obvious answer would be down the stadium but that would make life easy for journalists. Anybody know? (or care?)

They should make me manager, seeing as I got this seasons Cardiff squad promoted twice in the game Football manager 2011.

Once as champs and the other the runners up spot.. If I can do it, why the hell could Dave Jones not do it ?

Yeah I know it's just a game... :D
