They always seemed an ungrateful bunch and have ideas above their station... like most of the bottom half of the Premier League

No big surprise there. Perhaps it's just as well all the interview slots have gone for the Wales job! ;) :laughing6:

I always like a trip to Stoke. Some real clowns up there and a horrid place. I remember the Play-off semi when we had taken Graham Kavanagh and Peter Thorne away from them. They were incensed and when we took the lead it got a lot worse with their supporters 'trying' (in the loosest of terms because they know plod would stop it) to get into our away end...

It's not often that our fans could take the liberty of singing "Sit down and behave yourselves!" :thumbright: :lol:

Orrible place and orrible fans. Always thought they were punching above their weight. He kept them in a position for years that they should be more grateful for and as a result have become unrealistic of what they are. At least he doesn't have to travel to Mordor and visit the Orcs anymore.

If we had gone up that year we would have got to the Prem under Sam I think.

How things might have been different.

Neil, I think you're spot on and Sam would still be here! :thumbright:

no surprises here - a shame that a manager who does well for 3-4 years and then is sacked when he goes through a poor spell. i wouldn't be surprised if they now go through 3 managers in 3 years.

i'm not sure who they will have lined up - there isn't a great deal of quality out there at the moment.

stoke will be fine - they easily have enough quality - they just won't be in the top half of the league.

Good Manager has had a tough spell, he can do better, those players let him down.

If they get Giggs they will go down, he's got no experience, that would be a big mistake.

Whilst i had the respect at the time for Sam, he turned out to be someone who almost ruined our club!
With Sam at the helm there would be no Cardiff City!
You guys who still have a love in with Sam Hammam are living in cukoo land. Good riddance to him!

Not really a love in as such but very much appreciate that he got the ball rolling and put a bit of momentum into our club at a time when we had a lot of stop starts.

If and it’s a big if we had got to the Premiership under Sam we wouldn’t have run out of money. Things would have been very different. He would have delivered the stadium for one.
