Who picks the retained list?

Sat May 03, 2025 12:16 pm

If we don't have a new manager by June 30th who picks the retained list of players?

I'm assuming it will be Darren Purse as Ramsey and Rall won't be allowed to do it as technically they won't be employed by Cardiff and can speak to other clubs.

You’d hope a new manager would be involved in the discussions but as we know, that’s never going to happen.

If no manager by then it will be a disgrace and shows that tan is even more of a tw*t at running a club

That makes sense after the year we've had! :cry:

Does he have something on Vincent Tan? It's a bit like the Labour Party's Starmer holding on to the likes of Lammy when everyone around him knows he's out of his depth! :roll:

Yep, it doesn't matter whether a new manager is appointed in time or not the 3 clowns will pick the retained list and the players we try to get in.

I thought Purse had gone with Ritza. If not - why not? And if he is here what is he doing? You can’t have him doing a retainer list - that’s just a joke.

Nothing stopping them advising the board it's like asking warnock for advice so wont be surprised if he as some input unless of course he's sighned by another club ...
