At least they attended. Did you? ....... Thought so

People like you moan and complain constantly and are not happy unless they're doing so.

Tell me what tame question did you ask?


I'm not the one criticising fans for turning up and asking the questions that they want.

That's the point, the questions asked were not the questions the vast majority of fans wanted asked, by the way did you go to meeting, if you did,what question did you ask?

Not the case , as you would know if you had been there.

There was some strong criticism of RS` selections and signings and comments about how poor the performances had been under his management. Also criticism of the standard of coaching at the club (lack of anyone with the skills to improve our underperforming strikers).

Annis I honestly believe had Ole taken us over when Malky did and had his budget, he would have taken us up. I also think, had Dave Jones had Malky's budget he would have smashed the championship and won it by 15 points scoring 100 goals.

Also why the f**k is Tim Hartley anywhere near anything after his shite about the football league rebrand?


Ole couldn`t manage a piss up in a brewery. He was recruited because he was a known name from a club the Chairman is a fan of in the hope that name would attract quality players to the club. Instead, most of the recruitment was of players who happened (by no coincidence?) to have an agent that Ole used to be in business with.

Dave Jones , I agree , could have got the club promoted with a big budget. Despite any other managerial shortcomings he had , he did have the knack of getting the best out of players that most other managers couldn`t because of their attitude and off the field issues (Chopra , Bothroyd etc).

Tim Hartley was there as both a Trust member and a long standing Cardiff City fan who supports the team home and away. Why shouldn`t he be there?


Because of his lack of credibility after the EFL stuff.



What has that got to do with his right to attend as a fan and a Trust member? Just because he has views that don`t happen to agree with yours ? He wasn`t there representing anyone or claiming to.

Ole did pretty well at Malmo. A place where Uwe Rosler (highly thought of by some) didn't.


I didn`t think either of them managed Malmo.

If you meant Molde , did you check your facts before making your comments about Rosler`s managerial record there? If you did , then surely you would have known that he was brought in to save the club from relegation , which he did in his 8 games in charge where they were unbeaten and doubled the number of points they had earned during the entire previous part of the season.

Read my last post.
Don't criticise people that went when you didn't go. If you can't see that you should give up.
You're one of the posters that constantly moans on here. You have a chance to go and do something about it and get some honest answers but instead you come on here and moan about the the people that did attend.

Maybe, maybe not. Interesting read on how Klop conduct training. I think it's fair to say Slade doesn't have the players to play 4-4-2. But if he does, maybe they should work on it a bit more like this?

Good post.
This is the trouble when some people want to criticise others when they don't attend to get the answers they may want.
Some don't even watch City play.

No Wez, I honestly could not be bothered with going to ask a manager questions, I don't rate or respect as a manager, but to be fair, he is a nice person.

The talking can be done on the pitch where it matters :thumbright: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

And us fans can praise or moan on here afterwards :laughing6: :ayatollah:

Annis you say you don't rate or respect the manager,I can understand the dont rate side but why the not the respect ?

The bloke is a complete idiot he constantly seeks attention, yes he gives his opinion but thats only because he has the platform to give it. Unfortunately that's not like the masses who have to sit and take the crap and unable to air ones opinions.

As always it's the same people attending, no wonder the club are stuck in a rut listening to the same views of same people :digging2:

Someone who doesn't even go to games anymore is criticising someone who goes regularly and also puts a lot of his time into running a supporters group for going to a club event .

:laughing5:

I'm not even sure you are even a City fan as I can only remember you ever being as negative as possible about anything to do with the club.

Do you know Tim?

He is far from being an idiot. He is a highly intelligent bloke who has had a number of very senior jobs in his time, as well as being a very nice guy who has been a loyal supporter of CCFC and Wales for many years.He has raised thousands for football based charities over the years.

Yet some people on here, many of whom struggle to even string a sentence together, are quick to criticise him without even knowing him.
