He's second favourite with the bookies come in out of the blue

That's a big shift in the last hour someone must of lumped on big on murphy, evatt gone from odds on to 6/1

Also got Rochdale relegated to league 2 when he was in charge of them, hoping there's no link between him and Mark Allen due to them both being involved at man city and Allen is pushing for him to get the job as this seems like a poor choice in my opinion

Dear God do these clowns ever learn? Taking a gamble on an unknown again.

Evatt and Buckingham at least fit the bill of managers with experience in league 1 and promotion of who we should be looking at.

I was expecting to be disappointed with the managerial appointment in all honesty and if this guy gets it that's exactly what I'll feel.

As reported by Darren witcoop. Id rather evatt but I can see it ending up being Ramsey

It's seems with every name that comes out everyone on this board slaughters them and calls the board clowns. Brian Barry-Murphy is a very highly rated coach. He was manager of Man City's Elite Development team for a number of years. Think of the young talent he's worked with and developed there. Then think what he may be able to do with our young players. He's just been coaching again in the Premier League with Leicester too. He is no mug. I think this could be a very exciting and ambitious choice.

Maybe because they are clowns and they've been making terrible decisions for the past 6-7 years.

If he is appointed I will give him my full support and hopefully he will turn into the next Pep. The point is we're taking a gamble again when I think that's the last thing we should be doing.

Isn't any managerial appointment a gamble? He's not a complete Rookie. He's managed at this level and coached at the highest level. Evatt and Buckingham offer no more guarantees of promotion.

Yes and he got Rochdale relegated and Leicester relegated brilliant.

Tan will probably pick the cheapest option who agrees to go at Xmas without compo if not in top 6

Much better than the previous 3 .
Loads of links to man city happy with this

Yes and he got Rochdale relegated and Leicester relegated brilliant.

I thought Ruud Van Nistleroy was the manager at Leicester? And if you do your research he kept Rochdale up in League One on a show string budget against all odd for two seasons. Rochdale ran out of money and plummeted out of the football league after that.

Yes and he got Rochdale relegated and Leicester relegated brilliant.

So? Not many managers around in efl who haven't got a relegation to their cv.... and those that haven't generally don't do anything else! But typically point negative out and not the whole picture of him? Not sure Jones or Buckingham are universally greeted with enthusiasm all have faults...

Man city elite academy manager as well .

Davies the Birmingham manager didn’t have managerial experience but was clearly ready to become a manager and that’s worked out pretty well for them..

The life of Brian.Sounds about right.

Phew ...I was worried there for a second but it seems like we have the next Pep because he's been at Man City.

I'm not enthusiastic about either of them either but they have better credentials than this guy. Typically point the negative out? Yea because I don't see many positives so what are they?

It’s wearing, literally nothing Tan does is good enough for some people now. It’s become an obsession.

Agree , every appointment is a gamble some people are forgetting we are a league one team now

As the old saying goes, there are 3 things certain in life.

Death, taxes and Cardiff City fans slating any linked player or manager knowing next to zero about them purely because they don't come with a CV for winning the Champions League and even then our fans would moan "well what are his wages? Must be costing us a fortune".

Honestly this negativity is draining, if it is Brian Barry-Murphy it would be a very good appointment. Risky? Yes. But most appointments will be as we are a L1 club and he has links to developmental players at a level higher than we would get with other coaches. If it is Evatt, great he has a 50% win record. If it is Buckingham then great he took Oxford up. If it is Selles then great he works well on a budget and over achieves doing so.

See it isn't that hard to see the positives of these potential new managers who by the way don't come here to try and fail. Lets quit the negativity all the time and get behind whoever we appoint.

There isn't alot to be positive about though is there? My disappointment is it looks like we whittled it's down to 3 Buckingham, Evatt and Murphy and it looks like it's Murphy which on paper is the worst choice out of the 3.

Buckingham would have been my preference as he has won promotion recently in the league and it made sense.

I'll be honest I hadn't watched alot of league 1 football until the playoffs but watching those game it's clear you have to win the physical battle first before you can get on the front foot, something this squad is lacking majorly at the moment.

I believe appointing Murphy indicates we're going to put our faith in the youngsters next season as he has worked at Man City academy and I think it's the wrong direction for the club to take.

As I said I hope I'm wrong but I just don't understand why they would come to the conclusion that this guy is better prepared to take us up than the other 2.

Every appointment is a gamble yes but Murphy is more of a gamble than Evatt and Buckingham.

This doesn't fill me with hope, sorry. We always go down the unproven coach route and it always fails. Would much rather Buckingham or Evatt.

I don’t want to take a chance on another manager with no experience in the league we are in.

This next manager could be the difference in promotion or plummeting down the leagues.

I think some are being a little harsh about Barry-Murphy.

But I think this is a risk too far, wouldn't be my choice.

I'm not saying that Barry-Murphy would be my choice but according to your statement above Ipswich were wong to appoint Kieran McKenna as an inexperienced manager when they were in League 1 and also Birmingham were wong to give Chris Davies his first managerial role last season?
