Tan Sri Vincent Tan said: “I’d like to welcome Brian to Cardiff City Football Club. We are delighted that he has agreed to become Head Coach / Manager.

A 3 year contract

“He's got a proven track record in youth development having coached some of the brightest young prospects in the UK, many of whom are now playing at the very top of the game.

I will go for a 2-2 draw taking us to 92 points for the season. That would be the equivalent of winning every home game this season and drawing every away game this season.

I don't really care,just want to enjoy the day out.
A win would sweeten the day obviously.

Considering we can’t move places in the table and have already amassed a record points total for us, I would be really happy to see BBM play a load of the promising youngsters.

Would love to see Tankiewicz and Donczew play, I would hate to see someone like Wintle, Robertson or Lawlor get seriously injured in a game with nothing on it

BBM has said there's a different schedule for him and the players this week, he's going to let them do their own thing and enjoy things.

So I'm not expecting a brilliant performance but it would be nice to end the season with a win.

Mansfield are away to Peterbrough - tomorrow night .
