“I hope he is not slated”

Big Mick
Watching the game last night gave me flashbacks to Warnock’s reign. Defensively sound , goals flowing throughout the team and everyone working for each other. Big Mick take a bow son

Big Mick took on a squad that had virtually given up and had forgotten to win a game .



All Our real successful managers in the last 11 years Malky Mackay / Neil Warnock are loved by everyone when they are here and brought real success and not at a price as they have brought 100’s of £millions in to our club totally out weighing any bad signings.

WE WANTED SUCCESS AND THESE TWO MANAGERS ACHIEVED IT

Warnock and Malky United our fans, Warnock beyond United us and loved us


Then Tan/Dalman chat to Media Wales and they are wrongly slated and guess what half of our fans then go on for years slating them and have short memories.
These two were not yes men to the committee


Yet the Oles, Trollopes, Slades and Harris who achieve nothing and in fact some have even wasted more money than any previous managers in our history and were never ever going to win anything for us other than lower league football.
Ole and Harris in my opinion talked so much crap in the end and could not get our players to play.

The reporters in South Wales will only print one side to stay in with the committee.


Now just Remember Neil Warnock who got slated by the committee accused of wasting the clubs money, told Big Mick to apply for the job at Cardiff and then spoke to Choo and said if you want to save the season and ASAP then McCarthy is another type of manager like me and the Committee realised they had messed up yet again and League 1 was getting closer.


SO PLEASE REMEMBER LAST NIGHT / THESE LAST WEEKS NO MATTER WHAT IS SAID IN THE FUTURE BIG MICK SAVED US FROM RELEGATION & OUR CLUB FINANCIALLY WITHOUT SPENDING A PENNY IN THE TRANSFER MARKET

I have for one want Big Mick to be given the whole of next season and financially backed

I supported him from day one and his record was there to show he has been and done it many times before

But don’t turn on him when things get bumpy and the media make bullshit up.

I am with you there Annis

Good points there Annis. it is a shame about Warnocks last transfer window, but, as you correctly point out. Is a massive net profit when he was in charge !

Agree. Let me firstly say well done Mick McCarthy and Terry Connor.

I'll admit to not being a fan of MM when he was appointed, and I still need convincing he is a long term solution, however, he has done a spectacular job in the few weeks he's been here.


If he is the MM of old, he will tell the board to butt out and let him get on with the job. With just a 3 month contract though, I'm not sure he's in a position where he wants to do that, and will just agree to the boards requests.

A longer contract however will give him a project, and, the board AND COMMITTEE must leave him be to get on with it.

The last few weeks have been the most enjoyable. Yes because we are winning, but we are playing better football, a different system, have the ability to change formation, the players are happy and there is genuine hope.

I think most if not all true fans on here have said at some point, we will accept losing as long as there has been effort and desire, we have competed, and have pushed the opposition to their max capabilities. I think this is becoming a pre-requisite under MM.

Like you Annis, I always said I would support McCarthy short term, and anything that is achieved by the club this year, whether it simply be avoiding relegation, or being in sight of the play offs, will be a credit to him and TC, and will be achieved in spite of the board.

I hadn't even thought of Big Mick, when Harris was sacked, but once Mick was announced I was pleased, I felt he would turn things around, but not as well as he has. I to would like to see him here next season. The players look happy under him and TC so why rip it up and start again. Let him mold his own squad in the summer and I think we'll have a decent shot at promotion next season. Jobi McAnuff on Sky last night said they should give him the job past the end of the season now.

Definitely deserves to be here next season, frankly I think we’d be foolish not to give him that.

He says all the right things about the players, club etc which can only bode well. You’d think that his personality and enthusiasm would go a hell of a long way in terms of bringing players here too.

Annis, Its true say that there were a number of doubters on here when big Mick was appointed. I kept my council to myself, but I did think that on the whole it was a good appointment given the position of everything. I think we should give credit to club for the appointment it is proving to be one of the best decisions possible. In many respects its almost a Warnock mark 2.

What is so refreshing is the total lack of bull-shit, calling a spade as a spade with a great sense of humour, I have always respected MM from afar and I think its odds-on that MM and TC will be offered a longer term contract at the end of the season.

I am enjoying the whole concept of City at present

Actually look forward to games now, different tempo to Cardiff’s game and every player is fighting for the ball. Under Harris didn’t bother me missing a game .

Great start from Mick. Solid with a sprinkling of flair in Wilson and Murphy (Ojo) that means suddenly we look like we have goals in us.

Malky was a yes man though. Until the texts and he started briefing the press against Tan which split the club. Of course Tan had his share of the blame too. But he signed/allowed/supported the signing of Velikonja and said nothing about the red while it suited him.

Warnock was definitely not a yes man.

Definitely.
Last night on numerous occasions we were hinting in packs scrapping to get the ball back and then quickly getting back into position.

Good points there Annis. it is a shame about Warnocks last transfer window, but, as you correctly point out. Is a massive net profit when he was in charge !

4 of those played last night... looked ok to me..

Tan hated Malky for not being a yes man.

Malky brought success beyond to our club and brought way way more money in than lost us.

Tan hated the fact Malky was loved by our fans but the fans never loved him or sang his name.

The facts are there.

Tan spent £2mill of our club money trying to destroy Malky’s name and yes ruined him but proved NO wrong doings by Malky.

Keep slating Malky , but you can’t take away the success he achieved and money he brought in, end off


And since Malky left Tan/ Committee have continued to lose money on transfers and continue to make horrendous signings and losses and more and more managers.

Really? That's not bad then

I wont slate either Malky or Warnock, us fans craved for success and they delivered, no one else has in 50 years, good luck to McCarthy

Mate, yes man, explain?

Wasn't particularly happy when we appointed Mick. I fully expected a pretty quick turnaround in results (maybe not so impressive) but had concerns what type of squad he would assemble, which still remains a concern. The way things are going theres no reason not to give him an extension. Performances and results are better, the players look happier and the mood around the club is much better. Can't fault it. I guess we'll see which direction he takes us when he is allowed to sign a few players. I just hope its not a team built to play a certain way that will struggle to adapt to anything different. Otherwise well be back to square one where an overhaul of players will be required by the next manager. His interviews are refreshing though. Always liked his honesty. no bullhsit and straight to the point.

Regarding malky, personally think he would have kept us up. Tan hated him cos the fans chose him over Tan.

Regarding warnock, football is a results business. He spent the cash and didn't deliver. Previous success does not make up for how bad we were playing and poor results. It was definitely time for him to go.

Mate, yes man, explain?

Velikonja signing. It was said he wasn’t his signing yet at the time said I have watched him and was interested on him at Watford.

Never once said anything about the red.

He is a much of a yes man as Harris, Slade or others who have been our manager. I’m not the one who accuses people of being yes men. As employees they should be. However it can’t be said he wasn’t.

Warnock though certainly wasn’t. He was someone who would happily rock the boat if he felt it was needed.

Undoubtedly malky and Warnock were successful but one failed to keep Cardiff red in the premier league the other failed to keep the bluebirds there I wonder where we'd be now if one of them succeeded?

What the f**k would the colour of the shirt mean to a manager who had no connection to our club before he came?
A manager comes to manage a team not the colour of the kit
Mate your really clutching at straws to prove your point

Malky was not at City when we got relegated?
You mean Ole Ole

I backed appointment of MM from day one even when first rumour he was coming to us I totally did not get the people opposed to him
The bloke took TWO different sides up as champions
Good enough credentials for me

Not at all. He even said it was good for the infrastructure of the club.

How is anyone a yes man if not the above?

I think they should be yes men in public.

So the board who employed MM Deserve no credit at all then? And you do realise the "committe" includes the manager right? Not having a pop,just to say credit where its due,and that includes them this time.

Undoubtedly malky and Warnock were successful but one failed to keep Cardiff red in the premier league the other failed to keep the bluebirds there I wonder where we'd be now if one of them succeeded?

No one will ewver know if we would of been relegated under Malky, we were never in the bottom 3 under him

We all knew that Warnock is not a Premier League manager, he delivered what was originally asked of him, stop the rot under Tans pet Trollope and save us which he did, then following season got us promoted and brought in over £200,000 which is what we have survived on this season.

Our fans were divided, unhappy, Warnock brought unity and smiles back on fans faces.

Warnock most successful manager outside the Prem, a fact

I am so glad he managed us and I loved his time here including the Prem, we fought to the last game, Old Trafford away 2nil City, a dream for me come true


Watching City under Ole in the Premier was worse than awful every week getting hammered home and away

Paul,

What I know for a fact.

Tan was obsessed with Harris really believed and wanted him and had NO intentions of getting rid, Harris was doing everything Tan asked, clearing players out and hardly spending.

Choo wanted Harris gone a couple of months ago, Tan only listens to himself.

Then when we lost on the midweek game at home to QPR and Tan was shown that we were 5pts ahead of Rotherham, they had two games in hand and had to play us and we were sliding down the table beyond after 6 consecutive defeats, Tan was warned relegation and you will never get your money back, club will be in big debt.
Tan then panicked without even a manager ready. Warnock had been speaking to Choo etc as they were still friends and told him that McCarthy was the man who will virtually guarantee you safety, short term contract, wants No money for transfers, they virtually had nothing to lose, the rest is history

Two posters had put out on here that Warnock had recommended Harris many believed it was all nonsense and thankfully the truth came out he never did, Harris was Tans choice and only Tans choice like Slade, Trollope etc
