" CARDIFF CITYS MANAGERS/ HOW I'VE RATED THEM "

So..
Are we saying that most folk here support a racist manager as their no 1? Is football more important than our beliefs? I ask that guys as that is certainly something I would stand against for my children's sake. Being originally from the Docks I boxed all over Wales, if my coach was racist, no matter if he brought me a Welsh title, I would have turned away from him. Malky was a good solid manager, I hated his boring footie, and he still has a legion of fans, not disputing that. He sold Gestede on the cheap, he bought the Danish Beanpole for crazy money, the last straw for me. Are you Malky lovers blinded by that fact that he.made you happy, while deep down he described people in racist overtones?
I only post this as a true freedom of debate to which in past years my peoples would not have had that choice. I love Cardiff City, I love the fans, the passion, the ups and downs, the forums, the history. To me Dave Jones brought the best brand of exciting footie!! Do you agree??

Age comes into it as i was early 20's and loving life as a City fan, never was I negative about the club in any way back then. DJ was a great attack minded coach, excellent with a budget

For me it's Eddie May then Malky - never forget Eddie May coming on the tannoy at craven cottage asking the lads to calm down after the players were taken off due to a pitch invasion by cardiff fans, terrible memory but 3-1 that day to city

Eddie May will be a folk law legend to every City fan who was around in those times and for many many good reasons that's why I gave him a 9

Darling Buds for Me.

Malky and Scoular were the best I can recall. Durban and Ole lucky to get 2 I'd say!

Malky and Scoular for me are two of our greatest managers.
Def Durban and sadly Ole joins Durban as two of our worst managers in history.

I have not read all the posts and I understand everyone has to have an opinion, but for sure Malky was the most supported and followed manager we have had.
I have watched this club since 1960 and although there were some great times watching the likes of Toshack and Brian Jones playing us to the top end of of the league only to sell our best players and fall away from our chance of promotion, believe me the reign under Malky was special and no matter what he did or what happens in the future this was our special time!
Forget all the crap and remember where we were and what he did. Premiership managers have spent millions and got nowhere or at best 4th and rejoice in champions leagues but let me tell you our promotion year was our best ever and that is in the history books. I am happy for anyone to beat it and will follow as long as my health allows me but after 55 years I am happy to have been part of that time

Well Said and Spot on

Jimmy Scoular was the best , anyone who remembers the cup run where we got to the smi finals against SV Hamburg in the cup winners cup! Don Murray, Peter King , Rnnie Bird , Toshack and Brian Clark . I can't remember who scored a ha trick but he ran across to Scoular to get his 5 quid bonus because he knew Scoular wouldn't give it after the game! If Dave Jones was a nearly man then Scoular was as well (except for the Welsh cup) but both those managers gave the fans everything to shout about without a bloody drum in sight. We played Bangor City in the Welsh cup and there were about 50 people in the whole ground but what an atmosphere!

Jimmy Scoular is up there in my top 3, I was only a kid watching City then, but boy Scoulars team and the atmosphere then got me hooked on City

Jimmy Andrews was my all-time favourite, and 75/76 my favourite season. Pure sentiment, really. Our family moved up to Cardiff early in '76, and I caught the run-in for promotion from division 3. They were great days. Got a lot of time for Richie Morgan, too. At the time I was working in Sharpe & Fisher, off Collingdon Road in the Docks ,and a few of the lads there were City fans. Richie got a lot of stick, being compared to Toshack, who was at Swansea at the same time. Looking back, though, Richie's record stands up well. Good bloke, too. One of us.

Jimmy Andrews

As to Richie Morgan, I got to know him well and he never deserved the stick,a good honest manager,under a lot of pressure with no money.

Ritchie Morgan got us to 9th in the old Div 2 with no money including a great 2-1 away win at Sunderland where I had the rare sight of seeing Ronnie Moore score, great goal it was too

Malky,May and Burrows for me.

I rem that season well as we had looked like relegation material,Ritchie for me achieved way above what was expected of him and it was not his team,he inherited it

Tony, Eddie May will always be sung about and will always have his name in many fans hearts

This is exactly what I think. In fact the only slight difference between us is that I rate DJ slightly higher and Lennie slightly lower than you have done.

It looks like we do we share some of the same opinions/ beliefs
I'm prob not a big DJ fan because I knew what was happening behind the scenes.
Sometimes I wish I had not known.

Eddie May, Frank Burrows & Dave Jones for me

I felt sorry for Richie Morgan, we were 9th in Div 2 at the time and playing well having just beaten Leicester 3-1 at Ninian Park...Graham Williams was shocking on par with Durban & OGS for me.

Eddie May completley regenerated the club with Rick Wright, 92-93 will always be my favourite season watching city

Frank Burrows was great in his 2 spells we played some great football in his promotion sides, everyone that pulled on a blue shirt would run through a brick wall for him

In 40 years of watching football Dave Jones produced the best footballing sides to watch and worked miracles really considering he had little money to spend. He had to rebuild each season he was here, signing some bargains and selling them for big money using the money to improve the squad that he had. I have no doubt that if he was given the funds that Malky had we would have got promoted under DJ

We've seen all the same manager's Annis and it's hard to disagree with your appraisal.
I think Cork would have got a little more off me, if only for entertainment value, the team were really played some exciting matches under him and banged a few goals in !
