This is not a dig at you i'm just interested to know your views.

Do you think Malky is doing a good job this season?

Who (realistically) would you prefer as our manager?

Do you think the team should be doing better this season?

Do you think the board are behind Malky?

Do you think we should have spent as much as West Ham and Leicester this season?

Do you think this group of players are giving 100% for the shirt this season?

Would you prefer have malky in charge or dave jones?

Would you prefer board have gambled more in january, even if it would have affected our future if it didn't pay off?

Do you think Malky is doing a good job this season? Yes First Class

Who (realistically) would you prefer as our manager? Malky is doing a great job with a limited Budget

Do you think the team should be doing better this season? Not at all - We are punching above our weight

Do you think the board are behind Malky? Unsure on this - Talk is cheap

Do you think we should have spent as much as West Ham and Leicester this season? I think we needed to Strengthen

Do you think this group of players are giving 100% for the shirt this season? Yes 100 times more effort than under Jones

Would you prefer have malky in charge or dave jones? Malky everytime

Would you prefer board have gambled more in january, even if it would have affected our future if it didn't pay off?
I think they should have tried harder to sign players rather than leave it until the last day - Bit like going to Tescos on christmas day looking for a turkey

my answers are exactly the same as moo cow ie over achieved this season i dont think the money has been made available to malkay if so he hasnt used it ,after saturday it was plain to see he should have. as for gambling forr the future these malaysians are buisnessmen and they wont get their money back in the championsip it wouldnt in my opinion cost massive ammounts to take that gamble

To be honest I'm quite surprised by your answers. Given you think these things about Malky and the present team I don't understand why you're so quick to attack them after one defeat (or even a draw sometimes).

When it comes to the board and the Malaysians I know there are more people on here who share your views. I can't for the life of me grasp where the negativity comes from. Ok we didn't sign any big money players in the transfer window but this was down to Malky not the Malaysians. I know for a fact that a bid was accepted of around about £3 million for Marvin Sordell, and he was on his way to Cardiff for a medical. (maybe annis, carl or steve davies could confirm this for you)

We met Brighton's asking price more than once and they changed the goal posts for Craig Noone. Do you expect us to just keep upping and upping our bid until it gets ridiculous?
He's a decent championship player but he still remains quite untested at this level.

Malky has stated on countless occasions how he is after the right player and i'm sure he will also only pay an acceptable amount.
I am very happy with this approach as we all saw Dave Jones squander last seasons budget JET, JLS etc.

If missing out on Noone and Sordell means that we fall away this season then so be it i say (for what it's worth, i think £3mill is too much for Sordell)

There is no guarantee of promotion this season even if we managed to sign both these players though i will admit it would have strengthened our chances.

Malky stated he had a 3 year plan and if missing out on these targets now (at inflated prices) he is able to add to his budget in the summer when it's more of a buyers market, then i am over the moon.

I honestly believe that if we don't get promoted this year we will be in a brilliant position to challenge after the next transfer window when malky will has a chance to add free transfers and bargains from home and abroad. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
