For BBM to say he's 'always been honest to supporters' must mean this very weird and bizarre (and disappointing) window is definitely on him.
I don't agree with how he's done things and I think he's put his small young squad under enormous pressure to perform week in week out with no other fresh faces...but (and I can't believe I'm saying this) he's earned the right to do things his way.
I'm gutted with how things have gone and I think he's quite royally f$&ked up really. Whether it's been through naivety, stubborness or even arrogance, who knows...but he's earned the right to carry on and be this maverick, albeit slightly strange, coach he clearly is.
Apparently, it stated online (so it might be b0ll0cks) that he didn't pick up the phone to call Tan once on deadline day - this is unheard of at CCFC apparently. The plan was set and he just let it play out.
It will be on his head now if we flirt with relegation and, unlike others, I definitely don't think we'll comfortably avoid it, but what can we do. Let's just see how it goes and stay with him!

Wakey wakey BBM, learn from your error and stop spouting shite from the clowns.

you have my support but don't take us for idiots.

Sorry but my opinion is that he is protecting Vincent Tan. What manager does not want to improve his team. I have faith in BBM but he looked disillusioned last night.
Tan should grow some, come to Cardiff and explain that Brian didnt want anyone. Now hes not gonna do that is he.....
Its because Brian did want players..

The opening post sums it up - Nearly 4 months to sort this out - Good Luck to the team/squad / manager

Yeah he's clearly working on a shoe string also it seems but tells the fans the players he wanted didn't happen so he must be in the same boat

We should have signed more. January is a shit-expensive window. I think we will be alright and surprise a lot of our own more negative fans, but we should have signed or loaned another two or three; injuries will cause us problems in certain positions.

There was nothing wrong with getting players in until Jan and then both clubs looking at the situation
