Just been informed from my best reliable Source

Let’s hope I don’t have egg on my face


Confirmed by a journo- who very rarely gets that type of thing wrong and a club insider.


Neil Harris to be named Cardiff boss tomorrow - big source confirmed tonight. Warnock, Blackwell and Jepson set for SPL Hearts - their job to turn down.


Also a source from London where Ken Choo now lives.

Hope your right about warnock
I got 8 to 1 on him to be next hearts manager

With all due respect, I hope you do end up with egg on your face!!

This would go down as one of the most ridiculous appointments - no pedigree, doesn’t take us in a different direction and most likely only did a decentish job at Millwall, because he is Millwall through and through.

Be interesting to see how the club try and spin this one as it shows a complete lack of ambition or frankly, even thought.

I truly hope you have scrambled, poached, fried, pickled, and boiled egg all over your chops Annis, woeful appointment. Harris out !!!!!

Hope your right about warnock
I got 8 to 1 on him to be next hearts manager

Steve, my best source

If true thats about as inspiring, as a wet weekend in scunthorpe.

It'll Defo be Mark Hughes. I've been told by a VERY reliable source at CCFC. Huuuugheseeee!!!

I will be looking to obtain a pro rata refund on my season ticket Monday morning.

Why?? Hugheseee will do a great job

No offence Annis, but I really do hope you end up with egg on your face. The club have missed a trick here, especially with Hughton out of work. If it’s Harris though, I’ll back him. We have to give him time!

If true

Our decision makers haven’t got a clue. Why don’t they communicate with season ticket holders, are they interested in what the fans want? It’s our club, it’s our money and dedication that feed this club, how about giving us a say? This is so uninspiring and a huge missed opportunity to bring some much needed enthusiasm to the club , and what was the rush? An unnderwhelming cheap and nasty appointment

Sorry Annis but your source is incorrect, in fact the new Boss will be Mark Hughes, a good friend of mine is out in Baku and been speaking someone close to the club who have said Harris our if the Running. Club been hearing reaction of fans and did not pursue.

If fans don’t like it then follow in requesting a season ticket refund. Gone for the cheapest possible option I am not intending on supporting a club that doesn’t even want to support itself

So your not even directly linked to the source but apparently this source is more credible then Annis’ Direct source? Deluded your mate is probably making it up

I hope I have egg on my face big time


But I will give HARRIS my full backing as everyone should for the sake of Cardiff City FC

Oh well, you'll see tomorrow....you can apologise then sonny

I’m sorry Annis I cannot back him. It’s wrong on too many levels and I feel the attendances are going to drop. As much as I didn’t back the Bellamy idea I’m just thinking at least the unknown would create excitement in itself. I cannot get excited about this. I bet everyone who hounded out Warnock are happy though?

Wow someone's confident about Mark Hughes. Sure you're not telling porkies?

I wonder who identified Neil Harris as a suitable replacement so soon after NW stepped down. The list of so called candidates is so totally uninspiring. Sure there must be better managers out there who would be interested or are we really that an uninspiring propositon?

If it is Harris this will test the loyalty of a lot of diehard Cardiff fans I really hope it’s not him when there is so much better out there

I’ll be getting a season ticket refund. A chance to galvanise the club and restart our season... we are hiring a bottom 10 manager with no pedigree whatsoever...

I'm not sure anyway hounded him out, looks like he's orchestrated his own move to his one last opportunity, leading a team to 3rd in the SPL, legend my arse !!!!!

You only have to read through this guys previous contributions to this forum to understand it is a load of rubbish

Better being out there doesnt mean they want to come here or city can afford their wages and player recruitment costs? More to signing someone than their name..
