CliftonCliff Posted Monday at 11:12 Share Posted Monday at 11:12 Surprised there isn’t a thread running already. Inevitable, really. It had become a question of not if, but when. Their next manager will be their 12th in 14 years under Vincent Tan, apparently, which is a fairly eye-watering statistic. I am as underwhelmed by our own ownership as anyone on OTIB, but nevertheless this does perhaps put things in perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted Monday at 13:19 Share Posted Monday at 13:19 They don't find it so easy post Parachute Payments..spending money, plus during FFP era doing so when possible in pursuit of quick promotion is Tan's only real Plan by the looks. Obviously hiring and firing managers often is a part of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted Monday at 13:22 Share Posted Monday at 13:22 That's probably why they are (disgracefully) pushing the Sala thing so much too. That would be like a 3rd year of Parachute Payments if the case goes in their favour, and it would help them to have a one or two year window to try and get back into the yoyo cycle.

CliftonCliff Posted Monday at 17:20 Share Posted Monday at 17:20 3 hours ago, Kid in the Riot said: That despite being trigger-happy with their managers, they've STILL done better than us? It's a fair point, of course, but personally I don't think I'd care to swap places with them. I may be proved wrong, but it seems likely to me that such a chronic level of instability and discontinuity will catch up with them in the end. They had a relegation struggle the season before last, steadied the ship a bit last time and finished about the same as us, but are now all over the place again and going for another reset. Nothing's certain in football and they might recover and do well this season under yet another new coach, but more often than not a revolving door policy on that scale eventually results in a decline. Birmingham probably currently the most high profile and obvious example. (They may well come straight back up, looking at their recruitment, but then again, they might not. It's not always that predictable.) Cardiff may have briefly made the PL, but I can't say I feel particularly envious, looking at what they've done subsequently and where they are now. Their squad doesn't look that bad to me on paper - not great, but not relegation material either, I'd have thought, but once the rot sets in It can be a bugger to try and drag yourselves out of that bottom three. The next managerial appointment is crucial for them. Get this one wrong and I think they're probably in for the drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not that long ago done a slow, painstaking job of rescuing us from the folly of inept owners, and restoring stability. At his age and with his recent health history, would he really to have to do all that again and take on another autocratic and flaky, rich man's toy? I'd credit him with more sense than that. A return of Warnock, as improbable as that might be, still seems more likely than NP. I'd have thought. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
