Ramasut not involved / Purse back to U21s

Wed Jun 18, 2025 4:51 pm

It is understood that some members of Omer Riza's previous staff will not be involved in Barry-Murphy's setup. Tom Ramasut won't be included, while Darren Purse will resume his role as head coach of the under-21s.

It likely means Cardiff will be a body short and it might be something that is addressed in the weeks to come.

Crazy how Purse is still involved. Must be a good bullshiter as he is a useless coach. Laughing and smiling last season was a disgrace.

Agree with all of that.

Should have just told them both to leave the club.

Not sure what the Purse thing is on here. Its strange.

Kpokio, Lawler, Giles, Colwill J, Nyakuhwa will make up a chunk of the squad next season, surely thats his job, to get them close to the first team

I suspect that it might be the case that BBM is giving DP a chance to prove himself - just like he is with every other player.

BBM knows what it takes to turn useful youngsters into 1st team players and I suspect he has people in mind who could eventually take over that role. I suspect, if he sees youngsters not progressing, he wont wait till the end of the season he will jump on it straight away.

From speaking with one of my photography friends, Matt, who is the club photographer at Man City I understand that Under 21s were allowed to regularly train with the 1st team squad and I hope this happens at CCFC.

Rome wasnt built in a day and it might be the case that DP works better with BBM than he did with Omer Riza - but I am confident that BBM will be keeping a very close eye on the U21s.

Not sure why people just assume Purse is an awful coach??

I have no idea if he is or not but he’s helped produce possibly our best set of youngsters for a generation

He must be doing something right??

Due to BBM’s enjoyment working with youngsters I honestly think Purse is in the last saloon. If he creates problems he will be gone. So he had better toe the line.

Purse record with U21s was poor and they improved when he somehow got into the first team set up.
Apparently emphasis is on youth and he's at the helm. Crazy!

Purse record was awful.

It does not matter how good you are if Purse dislikes you he won’t recommend you for the first team.

I’ve not met a younger player who likes him.

But Tan loves him???
