LATEST NEW MANAGER ODDS

[cardiffboy1995]

Reported from some journalists that Buckingham is being lined up.

Plays the game we are trying to play, has done really well at Oxford, and he’s young.

Chance to come to a much bigger club.
Why wouldn’t he want it?

He already has a squad that he's built, he's already loved at Oxford, plus we are shite.

He started his career at Oxford too.

Was he interviewed for the Wales job?

No disrespect to Oxford but you can't compare both clubs, apart from the lunatics (not) running it.

Mark Harris would look like Harland compared to what we've seen since he left. If I were Tan and the look at an ex-academy player suddenly looking like a championship player then I'd find the bloke responsible to see if he can do even better with the five or 6 we have coming through

Wasn’t interviewed for wales job.

Harris had part of a season playing for Manning before Des but a lot of it is on Harris as well.

He got to sign 15 players for Oxford. Youngsters with pace and skill who fit a style of football he is implementing. New stadium in two years. He’s an Oxford fan. Being paid well.

We massively over exaggerate the pull of our club.

Why would he come to Cardiff?

Tbf I didn’t know he was an Oxford fan.

Anything from this list but not holding my breath....

Will Still
Rob Edwards
Slaviša Jokanović
Nathon Jones
Des Buckingham

I would like to see us head hunt a manager for a change, rather than appoint some of the scraps we have in the past.

The last manager who did really well at another club and we had to stump up some compo was Malky Mackay from Watford.

It would show the club has some ambition to go beyond the ones who hand in a CV.

A sporting director with a proven track record would also save Tan millions but that will never happen.

Malky didn’t do great at Watford really. Did alright with us first season then got given millions and millions. Can’t deny that he took us up as champions but when we went up we were very much out of our depth despite being the 5th spenders that pre-season and the two teams we went up with out performed us.

Yeah. Was under pressure and their fans wanted him gone after losing 5-0 to Bolton. They got battered.

Then had an international break and he had some time to coach the players on his press system and it was like a team transformed.

Very good at gripping situations and changing tactics to counter.

Why would he come to Cardiff?

I don't think that our club has any more pull than other mid sized championship clubs. Oxford is not a mid-sized championship club though, and by now the other championship clubs have analyzed them to death and it will get tougher, Bulut had no answer when the how to stop Cardiff blueprint was known.

If i were Buckingham i wouldn't move either. Cardiff may be a massive pull when you are not drawing a salary but you need to see out the project if its yours and its going well. I also doubt Tan will pay compensation.

I'd be amazed if we are offering anything but an end-of-season deal, so some of those names won't fancy that especially if they are still getting paid from their former club.

I can't help but think Warnock will be back for a short period

[Craigm1927]

It will be hard to get any good manager here some fans think we huge don’t get me wrong we could be massive but until we get stability with a direction we all want to go and a game plan for the future we will always be a small club with half empty stadium the best option for us could be Ryan giggs and perhaps Ramsey helping out least he be doing something to earn his wages and all the other players we have who are not trying should be docked their wages none of them look fit to me or inthusastic we need somebody to give them a good kick up the butt at this moment of time performances are just not acceptable

[lordbell]

Warburton the only one from that list

Teams can analyse Oxford, Des will be doing that too about other teams and will adapt.

The team they have is full of pace. Brannagan is their best player and currently injured, class left winger currently injured.

I’ve already got a bet that Harris will finish with more goals than any Cardiff player and I’ll extend that to Oxford will finish higher than Cardiff.

Oxford owners used to own Juventus. They got a lot of money. Their new stadium is very exciting.

Got us promoted as champions, was never in the relegation zone in the prem and was a pen away from beating Liverpool in the league cup final. I'd take that right now!

He saved Watford from relegation with a poor team which is why we went for him and paid compo.

Just making the point I'd like to see us go for a manager who's doing well for change, not one who's just been sacked.

He really could have had us better prepared for the premier league.

Nigel Pearson now circulating highly with some bookies. That would be a very Tan appointment.

I daresay there will be many out of work managers thinking Cardiff would be a good job. Potter is not someone we could entice in a million years though.

I couldn’t see a manager at any championship club coming to Cardiff, we wouldn’t get half the managers in league one either. Definitely not the Oxford manager. He’s at a well run club, with fans who support and trust him.

I agree on Potter, as much as I’d welcome him…

Plenty will be genuinely interested; my issue is with those making the selection…

The next choice will have so much pressure, he (or she) will simply have to hit the ground running…

[Underhill1927]

Don’t want Pearson, old school miserable tw*t of a man

[Welsh Exile]

Not many mentions for Schumacher, had Plymouth playing some great football, likes a quick attacking game, definitely has a plan B and C. Stoke fans think he was treated poorly and most didn’t want him gone, also a lot saying he got the fans believing in the team which they hadn’t for a while.

Dragonbet now have James Rowberry as favourite at 6/1.

Cardiff City eyeing move for "highly regarded" Buckingham -

Whilst Cardiff have endured a nightmare start to the campaign, newly promoted Oxford United have enjoyed an excellent opening period, winning three and losing three to leave them sitting ninth and making an early claim for shock play-off contention. That success could now come at a cost, however...
According to Football Insider, Cardiff could move to appoint Des Buckingham from Oxford following their solid start to the campaign, with the 39-year-old seen as a young and progressive manager.

It remains to be seen whether the Bluebirds can convince the Oxford boss to make the switch though. As things stand, pitching a manager to jump a steady ship in favour of attempting to patch one up that looks almost certain to sink in the early stages of the campaign doesn't exactly make for a strong sales pitch in what could be a frustrating blow.

Oxford, meanwhile, will be desperate to keep hold of the manager who brought them up from League One last season, with Head of Recruitment Ed Waldron praising Buckingham from the off. After appointing the young manager last November, Waldron told Oxford's official website: “Des is someone we’ve been monitoring for a while. He’s young, highly regarded and already has a wealth of coaching experience.

“His attacking style of play and philosophy suits the squad we are building and will help this outstanding group of players continue their excellent start to the season.”

Seemingly the type of football that Cardiff now want to see take place in Wales, Buckingham may well be one to keep an eye on.

[Jock]

Warburton the only one from that list

He’s a crank, talks a good game but ultimately full of shite.

Why don’t we try and get Phil Foden to sort our attacking issues while we are at it?

Interview with Des recently on Radio Oxford after beating Stoke with a pretty decent attacking performance.

He said “I’m going to lose my job here at some stage, I’m never going to be a manager who sits back and defends. I want my players to have freedom to attack and to do what they need to do to win football matches and that’s score goals.”

Not sure all our fans would take to that if we started losing.

He will leave Oxford one day, but it will to be a bigger and better club than Cardiff and it pains me to write that.

I believe VT would love Des' football philosophy - sounds Keeganesque to me. I'd take that all day over the turgid, ultra defensive borefest we've put up with for the past year or so!

I'd prefer to see my team attack the opposition as much as possible and would accept the risk of conceding goals as a result.

[Sowerby_CCFC]

Steven Schumacher - 4/1
Nathan Jones - 5/1
Alex Neil - 6/1
Nigel Pearson - 8/1
Brian Barry Murphy - 8/1
Sam Allardyce - 10/1
Ryan Lowe - 12/1
Rob Page - 12/1



Odds this morning

Biggest jumpers as odds shortening Jones and Neil.

Alex Neil was 14s yesterday.

[Logie]

Id like to see Schumacher , Stoke fans said they could see he was building a foudation and there results were ok

[FOOTSOLDIER]

Rob page! No thanks, Bulut ball all over again.

[FOOTSOLDIER]

The board will take the cheapest option. The vicious circle will continue until Tan has gone and we are in league 1. What's the odds on that?

[tangledupinblue]

Don’t want Pearson, old school miserable tw*t of a man

Does my nut in with his smugness. Big NO from me. Mowbray too

That list is not inspiring for me have to say. Nathan Jones probably my choice or Jokanovic, Buckingham. But having given Bulut a 2 yr contract and having to sack him 6 games later forcing his hand to shell out, Tan is unlikely to pay compo for a manager, so we are looking at current out of work managers. I can see him going for Rob Page myself who no doubt will give a good passionate interview, major tournament pedigree local lad, will impress the clueless dictator. I hope not.

I want a guy who has good experience of - The championship, developing youth, front foot football, more than one formation and tactic, good motivator and communicator, doesn't play the blame game (basically everything Bulut wasn't) and preferably not of the Warnock, Allardyce generation more like the Rob Edwards, Gary O Neill generation. Where are you?!!

Im just so happy Bulut has finally gone. Im hoping this vicious cycle of instability is causing Tan to rethink selling the club for a lower price. I cant stand the man

[Maccydear]

Let’s be quite honest. Cardiff fans don’t have the patience for that.
