Manager Dean Whitehead Says we are close to signing

It must be a player Tan has found, as that’s what happens now:

Another Puppet:





DEAN WHITEHEAD:


Dean Whitehead admits Cardiff need help in the transfer market to get out of this rotten situation. Said they are close to signing a No.9.

"But you know, ultimately, the squad needs help. We need help. We need players in to freshen up the squad. And if we can do that, then we will. If it's possible.”


"I'm part of (the transfer process) until people tell me I'm not. We're looking at players, we're looking at people to bring to the football club and it's an ongoing process.“

"We're very close on one and got a couple of other things that we're looking at."

Asked what position the club was close to signing, Whitehead replied: "A number nine."

"We want to try and get strikers on the pitch and in the building, so that's our priority at the moment. To get people in who can score goals."

The Millwall loss was Whitehead's second game in charge following a 5-2 FA Cup defeat at Elland Road in midweek.


When asked what the latest was regarding his communication with the board, Whitehead replied: "The latest one was last night that you know, prepare the team, make sure you do everything you can, which we have, and hopefully try and get some points and unfortunately we didn't, so that's as much as I can give you."

The boss said he could not give any more information on when a manager might be appointed, however it would seem logical for the club to make that call sooner rather than later, with the end of the transfer window getting closer and two weeks until the club's next game.

Will likely be FC Kortrijk striker Felipe Avenatti.

What’s the point in signing a striker if a new manager comes in within the next week or so and decides to f*ck him off?

Who is 'we'. In previous statements Whitehead has alluded to the fact that signings will be made by the 'clown committee'.

He has since added in further statements that he is part of the clown committee until 'someone says otherwise'.

In other words, he doesnt know if he is or isn't...??

Heard his interview on Radio Wales last night & the poor guy sounded clueless and downtrodden.
Apart from Warnock, all our other recent managers have been puppets.
Tan out
Dalman out
Choo out

It's time

Can we at least give Whitehead a chance.

You can't blame Whitehead but he's not a manager. Not even close

Pep would be in for a shock if he were to drop into the championship and that's the problem, all these newbies think he is their model but Warnock has won more promotions.

No one is not with him at the stadium but we need to drop the fantasy football stuff.
