Is so impressive.
Very humble, always compliments the opposition, tells it like it is when it comes to our players but always in a positive way.
The guy is a fantastic ambassador for our club.
When you compare him to Wiltshire and Challinor it’s like chalk and cheese, the comments those two make are embarrassing.
Were lucky to have him

Let’s enjoy him while we can He will not be around that long. For the first time in many years we have a manager who other clubs would desire to have.

Leicester must be kicking themselves because he was on their books

I’d imagine there’ll be loads of clubs after him in the summer. He’s a chairman’s dream, slash the wage bill, play most of the academy, don’t ask for many signings and run away with the league.
He’s seems like a pretty loyal bloke though so as long as we look after him and match his ambitions hopefully he’ll stay. From what he says it seems like he’s in it for the longer term

He’s going to be a top top manager, easily prem level.
Enjoy him whilst we can.

You can see how pep has I influenced and helped him develop. He should be rewarded with a new contract

I really hope we get promoted and he wants to stick around to continue the journey.

Tbf when he joined us he needed to get his foot in the door. I don't think he'd accept those kind of conditions at any other club considering he's established and made a name for himself.
At the same time I hope it makes the board realise what a talented manager we have and that if he isn't backed going forward, he'll have a plethora of options elsewhere.

If I’m not mistaken we’ve got him on a good contract for either 3-4 years. I know it means nowt nowadays but it’s a start.

I don't see him leaving in the summer.
He's enjoying working with these players and they're now used to his style after six months, which is why we're now improving a lot.
As long as the bulk of them stay, so will he I think.
Two years left on his contract at the end of the season but wouldn't be surprised if that's extended if we go up.

I said about a month ago that bbms contract should be the priority in the summer even if its just a year extension
We don't want to wait another season because he'll only have a year left on his current contract and that's when he might have his head turned if another club comes in for him

When you compare the Irish to the English it’s a no brainer , the Irish have charm , the English are arrogant , well most are anyway , but I might be biased as I’m Welsh/irish

Absolute class act, the best we've had, already at the Warnock, Dave Jones, Malky level of impact but could go on higher and is building a quality team rather than buying one.
It seems like the perfect match, the right Manager at the right club, with the perfect set of youngsters and a few older pros, and a fanbase all looking to improve and progress as one.

Let's hope and pray that the board see it the same way and give him a nice rise in his salary and back him in the transfer market if we get promoted, if they don't they're being very foolish as young talented managers don't come around that often.
Sun Feb 15, 2026 9:26 pm
Totally agree
Sun Feb 15, 2026 9:42 pm
The board hopefully will be a new one in the Summer so he might stay fingers crossed

Andrew, Brian Barry-Murphy signed a
three-year contract as Head Coach of Cardiff City, on
June 16, 2025. His deal runs until the
summer of 2028.
I honestly believe he feels he has an exciting project here at the CCS and will want to see it out, so long as he feels supported
The guy has performed a minor miracle with some exceptional but largely untested talent
The players love him, the supporters love him, the media love him, and I find it hard to believe the obvious one isn’t impressed by the turnaround in fortunes, too!
