" Now let's support the team and manager "

Fri Jun 13, 2025 6:17 pm

Was going to post this when the club announced it but they haven't so may as well post it now. Announcement is imminent by all accounts though.


We have rightly not been happy with how long the process has taken, but we have our man now.

Some wanted him, some didn't.

Personally, he was not my first choice. But I've listened to him and read up on him.

Now I'm excited for the new season. Nobody on here or fans of other clubs will change my mind on that.


We as fans need to support him from day one.

If it doesn't work, people have the right to criticise him then.


But I hope he's a big success and we can have a team to be proud of again.


You might be Tan out, Tan in or undecided. But something we should all be able to agree on is wanting our club back in the Championship as soon as possible.


Our job how is to support the team and manager to help make that a reality :bluebird:

Hats off to you Ned .
Despite not being your first choice and all the negative Nellie's on here you are 100 percent supporting BB.
Personally I think he is an excellent choice.

Not my first choice, but if it’s true that he’s due to be announced, then he is our manager and we should get behind him regardless of who everyone would have picked.

Complaining that he previously managed Rochdale isn’t going to change things.

Complaining that you’ve never heard of him isn’t going to change things.

Stating he is a ‘yes man’ is unfounded and might turn out to be completely wrong.

Get behind him, give him a chance and hopefully he can show that he is ready.

I am all in on BBM now, wasn't to start, in fact he was my 4th of 4, but i can see the logic.

I am buying 2 season tickets tomorrow, and so are the three more in our group.

99% will get behind him as I will but we should all be able to air our views on it otherwise scrap the forum because we all don' t think the same and because we might not think the manager is not what we require we surely can comment without been hammered as if we are not as good as fans of Cardiff as you are, and we all have some knowledge of his history and of guy and have our opinions.

It's more about how in a couple of days monty he's gone from being I'm warming to him after looking into his credentials to who the f is he? Why not air such opinions in some context not random opinion days later when he's more or less sighned?

You give over,
i am not telling you not to have your opinion but are telling people to get behind the manager and stop saying anything against him before he has started
Have you ever tried letting it ride like I said 99% will back the manager but let people have there say either way.

No you should not be telling people to get behind the manger you could "ask" them rather than tell them your not a general

And you don' t need to tell me what to do or think either so you could politely give it a rest budd.

Roath you also backed Riza beyond and were having ago at us fault for saying Riza was not good enough.

Shows how little you know

Re: " Now let's support the team and manager "

Sat Jun 14, 2025 9:23 am

Roath and a few others,

We will be fully behind him, but we are allowed our views / opinions as fans that’s what this is about.

Everyone you get proven wrong you all disappear.

The truth is he’s not for me, BUT as I do always I will give him my full support.

The problem is not him it’s his Master pulling the strings Tan and that’s the truth.

And yes his CV at Rochdale abd his lack of experience as a manager is a worry to me.

Look he’s very very cheap and the nonsense behind us being told they were scouring Europe and UK has probably wound many of us up .

We need him to succeed but we are allowed to say how we feel.

I have been wrong yes, everyone is wrong some times

I never disappear, you have even admitted that yourself

There are some who do however

Re: " Now let's support the team and manager "

Sat Jun 14, 2025 10:21 am

I've not heard of him before so obviously wouldn't have been my 1st choice or any choice for that matter.

However, he is here now and will have my full support as all I'm interested in is success for our club. Will he be the man to deliver that? Who knows, but currently he is the man who has that chance

Re: " Now let's support the team and manager "

Sat Jun 14, 2025 1:10 pm

I'm Just glad they have finally sorted a manager out and hopefully we can get on with training to get promotion back to the championship !

I am an optomist :occasion5:

And we need some hope for this coming season.

Great post Ned. Totally agree with everything you said.

Let's get behind our team and new manager and push us back to the championship.

There will be protests going on but that is entirely against the 3 clowns, we will always support the manager and the team.

C'mon Bluebirds :thumbup:
