Steve Morison’s Future?

STEVE MORISON:



Your future as manager of Cardiff ?





Not been discussed at all.

It’s not my decision ultimately. I can only do my talking on the pitch.

And my work within the football club. If the work I’ve done isn’t good enough then that’s fine. That’s their decision.

I’m in regular contact with them over a whole manner of things, but it’s not been brought up.

I just need to keep producing results and performances for this football club, get this club to safety and then hopefully the rest will take care of itself.

Do you think you deserve the job?





STEVE MORISON:

Yeah. I don’t see why not. First transfer window I’ve been told it’s the best transfer window they’ve ever seen.

I’ve proved myself there.

All I’ve done is do exactly what I told the board I would do. There’s no hidden agenda for me.

I said I’d make changes to the way we play football - there will be inconsistencies - but I like to think I’ve done that as well.

When I took over we were on 11 points and third bottom. I’ve definitely improved that.

The numbers are definitely better, averaging 1.4 per game. We continue that and we’ll be in a nice position come the end of the season.

Ever been back to Millwall?





STEVE MORISON:


No, I’ve never been back (as an opposing player). I went to the Premier League, then I went to Leeds and we had Millwall at The Den and I was injured.

Then Millwall came to Elland Road.

I’ve never been back. Even when I retired, I never had the opportunity to go back and say goodbye or whatever.

This is the last time going back to The Den since October 2019.

Best transfer window ever?

I think Warnock’s transfer window the summer before we went up has to be up there. NML and Etheridge free transfers. Other players signed. Pace and power and then first 5 games won.

Honourable mention to Ole playing football manager and buying everyone. A better manager would have probably had that squad up the top.

Steve Morison believe’s he's done enough to earn a long-term Cardiff deal.

Said results, performances and recruitment have all improved.

"I've been told it’s the best transfer window they've ever seen."

“We spent nothing in this transfer and brought money in to our club.

There’s the actual quote where nothing is mentioned about spending nothing and bringing money in.

It’s missing a word too which implies it’s not a direct copy over.

Ironic he says about not lying or no hidden agenda.

Steve Morison told Rob from Radio exactly that and to be fair he’s not lying , are you saying Morison is lying??

After every press conference I ring Rob.


As you are always on here looking to be negative, what did Morison spend?

Try and get a copy of that interview posted then mate.

I’m not saying Morison is lying at all I’m going on what’s been written on walesonline. They might be lying or Rob might be. One of them is.

For me Morison’s has done miracles for our club with out cash and a squad full of players that many won’t make it.

No transfer fees were spent that is correct.

No transfer fees were spent that is correct.

And loan deals evened out a fact and minus Moores wages and over £3mill brought in and your still negative.

We don’t pay the full amount of wages usually 30-50% , all ours that went out they all paid 100% of the wages .

For me Morison’s has done miracles for our club with out cash and a squad full of players that many won’t make it.

On that we agree.

Has done brilliantly.

Annis you can say thats a fact all you like. It simply won’t be. Whoever told you that is probably the same person who told you Doyle wasn’t signing. They were wrong then they have to be wrong now.

Moore was sold after four players had already signed. Yep we are up on January but we signed players before that. What if Moore failed his medical?

To be fair to him he says what he thinks and has done very well in my opinion.Sign him up now I say.

I was never keen for a McCarthy contract after his good run of games but this feels different. He has brought some pride back to the club with how we are playing (or trying to play in some games). He has transformed us in a very short space of time, he is surely building a very good reputation with the top clubs to take loan players which most Championship teams need to bolster their squads. Players like Doyle and Drameh seem very happy here and things will only improve under him so give him the chance and offer him the job permanently even if it means a few years in the Championship I have enjoyed watching us play these past few weeks (besides Barnsley) more than I have in years!

At that time Doyle was not signing as they wanted us to pay to much of his wages.
Morison had to look else where same as with The Boro player , things changed in 5 mins in football.


The positive side of all this , Morison spent zero and kept us up after an unbelievable shocking 5mths.

To be fair to him he says what he thinks and has done very well in my opinion.Sign him up now I say.

Exactly.


I would give Morison a year contract.

Neil / Maccydee read this from the other day:


STEVE MORISON:


"The goal is to have a core group within the first team which is from the academy, lowering the age group of the first team," Morison began.”

“But there is a huge risk in being too overbearing on them. Arguably, it's why we are where we are now, in a relegation battle.”

“The table doesn’t lie.”

All told, Cardiff have made a pretty poor fist of it in their three attempts since they dropped back down into the second tier in 2019, having started each season badly and changed managers in every campaign.

Uncertainly lies ahead again this summer, too, with incumbent boss Steve Morison seeing his current deal expire in June.

Given the long-term vision of the club and how they want to get there, though, Morison might be better placed than most to oversee and implement the strategy moving forward.

While at the minute, things are very short term. Cardiff must first climb out of the relegation quagmire before anyone is talking about promotions next season and beyond, but supporters are keen to know what the future looks like for their club.






Steve Morison:

"But there is a huge risk in being too overbearing on them. Arguably, it's why we are where we are now in a relegation battle.”

"As much positivity as there is, the reality is those players were being asked a hell of a lot of in the first half of the season. That was why we struggled. It's clear to see. The table doesn't lie.”

"My mindset on it all was that we have got good players there, but are they ready for a 46-game Championship season? I don't know yet.”


"You will interview every single one of them and they'll all tell you, 'I'm ready, I want to play, I want to do this and I want to do that'.

"The reality is, they don't know what that feels like. They don't know how it feels to go Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday. They don't know how it feels to go to Peterborough on Wednesday night and then go to The Den and have someone snarling at you on Saturday.”

"You can't just go, 'Oh, it's all right, I'm young'. We need to win and do it now."



The word constantly coming out of Cardiff is that there is no transfer budget, it is why they have dealt solely in loans and free transfers for a year.

It means leaning even more heavily on the academy players, many of whom are promising prospects, but as Morison alludes to, they are not ready to bear the brunt of a rigorous Championship campaign, certainly if promotion is the ultimate goal – which it is.




The balancing act is introducing the players at the right time and making sure there is enough experience elsewhere on the pitch to sustain a promotion challenge in the years to come.

"Over the coming six months, year, two years — they don't need to rush — we will bring them through at the right time," the manager added.

"The best case is Phil Foden at Man City. People were calling for him to be playing and starting every single week, but would he be the player now? He didn't go on loan, stayed around in training with those players and got better.

"Now, bear in mind, we are trying to do that with five or six players, not just one.

"It's all about just doing things at the right rate. But our end goal is always exactly the same. Can we have a core group that end up having Cardiff careers like Joe Ralls?

"They will always need support around that. We can't get caught up in the fact that we need help around them.

"But it would be nice if we had one or two players who were nailed-on starters that are really doing well and we are doing well so they are not looking to go anywhere else, unless it's a big boy, which I don't think you should begrudge anyone going to further their career at a high level.

"But that's a long way down the line, as far as I can see."

Rolling one year contact like dave Jones was on they should give him ,then we would only have to pay off the remainder of that year .

Yep makes total sense.

I have been an advocate for Morison for ages. Before McCarthy was sacked I said Morison could do us a job. He had the under 23s playing progressive football. I preferred watching them to the first team. Now he has the first team playing decent stuff.

Was looking at a Millwall site. They reckon Morison who was something of a cult hero at Millwall is doing a good job at Cardiff and they would not mind him as their manager if he was available seem to be losing a bit of patience with Rowett. Now our last three manager have either played for or managed Millwall.

What contract do people suggest?

Are we going to do the same we did with McCarthy?

Have we ever been in the bottom 3 ?

What's the rush ? Anyone can see whoever recruited Doyle & Darmeh needs medals and i very much doubt the first team coach of Cardiff city knew much about them. I guess he knew all about Hugill though.

He inherited a poor unbalanced squad of senior pro'd and a group of potentially talented kids who were all probably a loan away from being ready, but we had to go with it


Lets see where we are at the end of the season and take it from there.

Doing a cracking job and deserved at least another year personally I'd give him a 2 year contract, let's have abit of stability at the club

Didn’t we think the same about McCarthy?

Mccarthy is a established manager looking for a last pay day so after the contract he wasn't really interested. Morrison is new in the game and has something to prove, changing the style of play drastically and has the team playing for him. Big a massive mistake to not keep him here and bring in another dinosaur manager and end up going backwards again

BBC says the same as walesonline.

Rob was lying Annis.

No mention of spending nothing

I say 1yr.

As we know and you do, the famous Committee have made so
Many costly mistakes after 12 yrs they now hopefully will get it finally right.

What if he was offered a job by Millwall for example who offered him two years?
