Anyone think that Duff…

[Skippyjack]

Don't tell me that's another Dr P reincarnation as he reads very similar ??

Or just another know it all who actually knows zilch.

It's Andy Cole, perennial thicko and wum (in his own head)

There's actually hardly a soul here from the time CD was employed here under Brendan and no one in the decision making department.

Isn't one of the whole parts of a football forum that in instances like managerial change there will be lots of speculation over the appointment of a new manager? Lots of names will be linked but only ever one of them will be right.

There is no doubt we had an interest in Davies - neither party will ever publicly confirm how far that went, same for Schumacher and same for Muscat (who with Duff were the four names I heard interested us most)

Hell we probably had a romantic idea somewhere that Rodgers or even Potter could return. Probably even in the corridors of power but that doesnt mean either had a contract in front of them or even had the opportunity to say no.

The one I missed off that list was I wonder if there was ever any thought of Nathan Jones and how big that thought got

Lets be fair and honest here, if Nathan Jones didn't have that connection with Cardiff then he would have had a very good chance of being our manager.

Only one I can think on with any pull or say is Martin Morgan.
Anyone else?

Cooper had a Cardiff connection through his dad though? As much as he said he wasn’t a Cardiff fan.

 

[magicdaps10]

That's it, Cooper has a connection but never been a self confessed fan who runs it in.......Jones is a fan and has been vocal about it plus and never hid the fact.

If Cooper was a Cardiff fan then he kept quiet and professional about it.

Oh I dunno, I think Nathan Jones could have been ruled out simply because he's a crap manager who got lucky at Luton because they were on an upwards trajectory when he landed in the hot seat, he managed to "lose" the Southampton dressing room after one game and four days by all accounts...

I certainly wouldn't argue with that but I certainly believe that if Watson was going into another club in the same circumstances then Jones would have had a very good chance of getting the gig.

How long will it take Russ the Bus, and his ‘don’t blame me’ process?

Fair, but if this is the case then Watson wouldn't sit right for me, Jones will end up a very rich man and build his own pad on top of Aberdare mountain with his proceeds from "professional football "...
Also, he will probably be fighting all comers in the Yr Ieuan Ap Iago for supporting the Jacks for many years, with a Stone Island badge on his skinny little rat of an arm :lol:

I've seen some of the pictures of the Spain tour, Mr Duff has them on the edge, literally, but it's stupid putting them through the meat grinder just to play football
