" BBM denies that he's not being backed "

the negativity on this board just amazes me. the same people complaining we've not bought anyone in will be the same that complain when we sign another cripple after they're last pay cheque. I trust bbm to only bring in players that will improve the squad as he's said from day one. if those players aren't available I'd rather we go with what we've got and not spend future seaso s trying to off load dead ducks, as bbm has done quite successfully this season.

Why are there comments against BBM here....you cannot expect him to publicly admit he is not being backed, supported. Life and work doesn't work like that...would I openly do that about my manager!

He is employed and will be aware of requirements, conditions and being professional

We know Tan meddles but give BBM time

I think it’s because he’s already back tracked on stuff

And said he did not know about who is leaving and it was out of his hands.

It’s best he does not keep promising about 4 Quality players coming in.

And those that say it does not matter we have not signed anyone will be later saying new players need time etc etc etc

Yet how come we were the only club out of 72 clubs not to sign a player and always playing catch up?

Surely we should of been ready for the New Season ?

Come on lads let’s cut BBM some slack he’s had less than 30 training sessions with the team we look a lot more like a footballing team already .Results have been good, of course we could do with a few more players to enhance the quality of the squad .If he wants to bring in a couple of young prem loan players then so be it ,we had experience last season and look where that got us .Patience is needed for any new manager so for me at least wait till xmas to see where we are .Every manager we’ve had have had interference from the clowns running us and that will never change while they are here .Lets get right behind the manager and team and take out our anger on the hierarchy

He’s doing well so far. He’s improved Colwill and seems to be bringing out the best in Ashford. He’s even giving them valuable media experience. Two great players for the future, already on a strong upward curve.

Sure, we need new players, but remember, BBM started late thanks to Tan’s delay. He’s building his own squad, not repeating the old scattergun “sign anyone” routine. Fewer signings now could mean smarter signings later.

You’ve just said the famous words Mark, BBM started late.

Players come in later than any other club so need much more time.

Sane old story.

I’m not having ago at him I am just saying he needs to back his words four quality players.

It’s the same thing everyday on here at the moment, feel like giving up posting/reading the forum, wait until the window is closed and we have a full squad. Most the players we have, have played a lot of championship games.

BBM has already signed a keeper with experience in European competitions, so already improved our quality in keepers.

Just don’t get why people have lost trust, he said quality will be signed he just doesn’t know when, this is down to player availability and that only tells me we are looking at premier league loans which will indeed add a lot of quality.

People’s hatred of tan are effecting people’s judgement on the team and manager.

I know it’s your opinions and beliefs and I respect that but the window hasn’t even closed yet, we are unbeaten this season and we have played some good football…..

Can I also ask a question……

If a takeover had happened and we were in the same situation regarding signings , would we all be venting at BBM? Who’s fault would it been then?

THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE I STAND BY THIS:

“CARDIFF CITY ARE IN THE 3RD TIER OF THE LEAGUE / WE SHOULD BE ACCEPTING NOTHING LESS THAN AUTOMATIC PROMOTION AND THATS WHAT 99% OF US FANS SAID AND DEMANDED WHEN WE GOT RELEGATED.”

“I STAND BY IT / WE ARE UP AGAINST 90% OF CLUBS WHO SHOULD NOT BE ENEN TO COMPETE WITH US.”

ON A POSITIVE NOT / I END BY SAYING:

“MAY 2026 CARDIFF CITY PROMOTED / NOTHING LESS.”

So do our managers decide and then give players like Evans, Etete etc New Contracts??

Remember they don’t even put them in their sides.

So who decides ??

He has had a good start.

Improved players already like you say. Got four points from the first two, into the next round of the cup and we're still at the start of this process with him.

I'm certain the majority of fans back him and I liked his press conference today.

After his comments the other day about not knowing if certain players will stay or go, this is exactly what I'd expect BBM to come out with. Same old bollocks that he and every manager before him under Tan has spewed out.

They are just saying what they are told to say.

My View Mike,

I will back BBM for now, but personally I stand by this another TAN PUPPET.

BBM - like all the previous managers at the City - is an employee.

I understand and respect the antipathy to the owner but we must remember the manager is not free to say or do whatever he likes - unlike us fans who are happy to share the same.

I’m not sure calling him Tan’s puppet now or at anytime is fair on the bloke, frankly.

Anyway-CTID

Spot on.
Way too early to call him a puppet. And people saying he won't speak out is BS. As you state above he's an employee. How many of us would go on public record saying my boss is this that and the other then expect to carry on as normal in work

Can I also ask a question……

If a takeover had happened and we were in the same situation regarding signings , would we all be venting at BBM? Who’s fault would it been then?

You won't get an answer from some on this is as its not the type of question that they want at this moment in time.
You are right we are seeing the same shit every day on here and it's making lots think why bother looking.
It's only as its so quiet in work at the moment that I've spent more time on here than it warrants.

I've had to double check our results after reading stuff on here.

I thought I'd been living in a parallel universe because I thought we had four points from the two league games and were in the next round of the cup.

The way people are talking, you'd think we'd have lost all three games 6-0.

Exactly you would think we were bottom 3. God help our first defeat of season it will be carnage

You've kinda contributed yourself there mate.

I will not accept that BBM is a puppet, that's what I'm saying.

I think he has a plan and will stick to it.

If he succeeds, he should be praised.

But likewise, if he fails then he should take the criticism.

I do believe he'll succeed though. May take time but when things click, we'll fly.

You are right we are seeing the same shit every day on here and it's making lots think why bother looking.
It's only as its so quiet in work at the moment that I've spent more time on here than it warrants.

You are both, as many on here are, missing the main big issue. BBM is like all but 2 managers under Tan, and that is a puppet. Tan pulls the strings as always, unfortunately for BBM he's found out that he's the one dangling underneath and can't do anything about it but play along.

All I would say is there are a lot of people speaking with forked tongue on here? How many would actually call out their boss? You slag off the boss or company you get sacked its that simple... bbm is not going to say a word against tan nor will any-other ccfc employee... so calling him tans muppet is very disingenuous

That's nonsense.

He's said a few things people don't like and suddenly he's a puppet.

It does no favours to anyone accusing him of that. Because it's just ridiculous.

Can’t really call the bloke a puppet when the board have numerous players sold to him if he wanted them and he has said no.. it’s clear he’s running the football side of things.

I will judge BBM when he gets his 4 QUALITY PLAYERS in I seen the press conference today and I get the impression he's afraid to say anything that Will upset TAN hope I'm wrong but he didn't convince me??!!

As stated by many others. Would you publicly call out your boss on live TV? Then go to work next day like nothing happened. Bearing in mind also its a new job / new boss etc

Obviously they would who cares about being in work! I find it really pathetic implying an employee (which bbm is) would deliberately call out his boss and suffer the consequences of the sack! Lots managers get into an argument with owner but they don't last long afterwards... if tan lied to him he's got choice accept situation or walk its that simple.

I haven’t missed anything thanks mate. Tan is the boss unfortunately and will make the decisions same as any other business, your just blinded by hatred sorry. I don’t like calling people out but for you to say I e missed something is nonsense.

Told you no answer especially if it doesn't suit their agenda. Lots of them full of shit
