Im beginning to believe...

I was reading some old Craig Bellamy interviews on his time here and he says that SM's rebuild is perhaps one of the most important and long needed changes at the club for many years. He said SM's lack of experience shouldn't be seen as a problem and that he's a fan of the style of football he wants to play - building from the back, fast attacking style, high press and quickly winning the ball back for more possession. I also think another key factor is that it appears that we have recruited players with a point to prove. We all know that we do need to address the CF position but I'm genuinely excited as to how quickly SM has recruited 12 players with hopefully a few more to come. This fundamental change needed to happen and it has, more out of circumstance rather than design but I do see this as a significant step in our evolution, however things actually pan out this season.

Paul, having read the Bellamy interviews and some of Steve Borley's stuff (thanks for those) I believe we are on the move to better things...

Patience (lacking in some) may be needed but I think most will be fine with that, so long as they can see genuine 'progress' in the season to come

Chris, for Bellamy to say it carries some weight with us both mate, as he knows the club very well and identified the issues long ago. And your right, patience will be key as this type of rebuild will take a bit of time as its a complete overhaul of style and philosophy.

If we stay above the relegation zone I'll be happy eitherway. Anything else is a bonus in my eyes as its more or less a new squad so im not
expecting miracles or nore will i be calling for the manager out after 10 games if we aint in the top six considering we have spend very little but some will no doubt

Oh and we thrash that lot down the M4 x2 as well

I hope so.

As for barclay1 good post but it's pointless having an opinion on anything other than we are world beaters going up as champions and we got a superb squad as they always have a moan if it's not that type of post. Just ignore the numbskulls I do

People are numbskulls for having a different opinion? What a ridiculous statement. Not everyone sucks the life out of everything by constantly looking for the negatives.

Get what he's saying though. Both him and Barclay often get instantly shot down for stating their opinion, but when they give it back everyone doesn't like it.

It's not a sin to be negative.

They get shot down as in people disagree with what they are saying?

No its not a sin to be negative. Nor is it a sin to disagree with someone on a forum.

What's negative about what he's posted this is just it i don't see anything. Everything is deemed negative if it's not world beaters talk on here

Its more of a relists post but some see it differently i guess

This year may not be as bad as I originally thought.

Theres still a big element of unknown which can be dangerous, as if things dont work out, we may quickly find ourselves in a rut that will be difficult to get out of... but

1. Do we look competitive? Much more so than six weeks ago, and will look good with two good strikers

2. Do we have strength in depth? Yes, apart from strikers

3. Do we have Championship experience? Yes, in certain areas, and the experienced players really need to step up to the plate

4. Do we have matchwinners? Well, with two new strikers maybe, but Ill just say Ollie Tanner who reminds me of A Jack Grealish with an arrogant style.

5. Do we have players that can play a different formation? Yes

6. Will we struggle this year? I dont think so, or we shouldn't

If this season proves successful Morison will have performed a major miracle, and the Regime should be indebted to him.

Last year we had two youngsters, Colwill and Davies, try and make a meaningful breakthrough with varying degrees of success.

Next year if we can push two more into the squad, then 4 youngsters over a 2 year period is phenominal.I dont yet rate King, BUT he is a fit lad, and confident. Crole tucked his goal away nicely against Newport and seems to have the physicality to tackle a half decent defence.

Last year the Regime pushed youngsters on the management team, and it was clear they were not good enough with a lot now plying their trafe at League two or National League level.

If this season proves unsuccessful then we can argue the point at the time.

If succesful it will be down to the board picking the right Manager and supporting him, the same as Liverpool and Man City's board picking Klopp and Pep, and Swansea picking Martinez and Rodgers, if it's not it's down to the baord not picking the right Manager

In my opinion the Regime had no option but to take Morison on board as 1st team manager.

He was cheap, available, and quite frankly I'm not sure how many other managers would have worked under such financial restraints as he has had to.

As for backing him, they have HAD to back him from a signing on fee point of view (like every other professional club in any league) or else we would not have a squad to talk about, but other other than that, they have back him with Zero funds.

You and the other ones who refer the board as a regime and try and garner anti Cardiff city feeling must be praying that our season bombs so you don't look like the utter kunts you are. This thread is nothing more than trying to reposition yourself just in case. Thankfully there are a few on here who see through this. If this gets me banned by your high and mighty friends, so be it.

Nonsense they could have chosen any Manager in the World, they've picked a decent Manager and provided him with a decent budget for wages and allowed him total control to hire and fire who ever he wanted within reason.

Time will tell how good the job they did was, but to me it looks like they picked a very good young Manager, he's done a total rubuild and freed up a load of wages whle thinning out the deadwood
