LanguedocFox Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 I find this quite incredible. Cardiff sacked Malky Mackay less than two months ago, which was less than six months after he got them promoted to the Premier League for the first time. Now they are talking about sacking Solskjaer. I really hope our owners never turn into a bunch of trigger-happy nutters. No sign of it so far, but I guess there is time.
Dan Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 The saddest thing about this is that it isn't even in the slightest bit surprising.
Corky Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 It's nothing new at Cardiff. They've had terrible owners for years, it's just that Tan is on a bigger stage.
Kitchandro Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 I don't find it incredible at all, it's totally in character.
Guest MattP Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Hope it happens and Cardiff go down. Cardiff fans are cnuts for still paying into Tans pockets and Ole is a cnut for agreeing to work for him. Hope all managers boycott him and the twat has to put himself in charge.
ealingfox Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Saw this coming. Don't know why they thought appointing him would be a good shout in the first place, the guy had next to no pedigree. Also no idea why men who played under Alex Ferguson at Manure are instantly thought of as potentially good managers - 'they learnt from the best' etc etc, utter bullshit. The funniest thing about all this comes from casting your mind back to last season. Cardiff fans gloating about going up, and being told it had come at a price and would all go horribly wrong. They've been a joke this season as expected, they're going down, and should we go up, I for one can't wait to pass by them on the way, say "Don't say we didn't warn you" and have a good old chuckle. They sold their soul for one year in the PL, they're being unceremoniously shown the door, and they'll still be playing in red next season.
Fox92 Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Wouldn't have took the job if I was him. Everyone knows what he's doing, sacking Malky was ridiculous for example, so why bother taking it considering the job Ole had done in Norway? It's not like the chance wouldn't come again. Ole is a well known name in England after his success with Manchester United, I think another opportunity, a better run club, would have came.
Leicesterpool Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 The same happened at Fulham so why not Cardiff?
One Legged Beaver Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 He has hardly had time thus far but you can understand why he may be under fire in this current managerial sackings climate after only picking up 4 points in 7 games since he joined whilst also getting spanked by local rivals Swansea and fellow promoted side Hull at home. He doesn't have a past record to back up that he may improve either.
lcfcsnow Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 His signings in January leave alot to be desired, the first thing he did was sign three unknown Norwegians he had at Molde. That's highly unlikely to help is it? Levein'esqe management, the Norweigan league can't be much better in quality than the Scottish either.

Ole is a well known name in England after his success with Manchester United, I think another opportunity, a better run club, would have came. It is strange that he should have gone there, having turned down a club like Villa. And it won't bother me in the slightest that Cardiff will go down if he is sacked - in fact, I hope they go down anyway.
Guest Bilo Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 The Sold Their Soul Crew will be livid. The whole colour change idea was always a massive gamble; if they'd gone up and been successful, it could have been like Leeds in ten or fifteen years time. Not many now realise that Leeds' traditional colours pre Don Revie were blue and yellow. As it is, the change looks even more unnecessary and ill advised than it actually was. Expect big protests when they scramble a draw at home against Leyton Orient next season with Iain Dowie at the helm.
Kyle_Le_Don Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Hope they go down... & Solskjaer gets another go with a better club
Trav Le Bleu Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 The saddest thing about this is that it isn't even in the slightest bit surprising. Aye, if Solksjaer couldn't see this for the poison chalice it is, well...
Leicesterpool Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 I can see Sven turning up at Cardiff to be honest, it was said he was considered to replace Mackay but Tan choose Solksjaer.
Captain... Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Would quite like things to stay as they are come the end of the season, the ENGLISH Premier League would see Magath, OGS and Poyet get relegated, Pearson, Dyche and Mclaren get promoted. Hopefully we will see and end to this obsession that anyone with a foreign name and likes to pass it a bit is automatically going to be great. If Poyet stays up and Pepe Mel and West Brom get relegated then just as happy. If that happens and barring any more sackings there would be 14 british managers of which 9 English, I think there were only 6 at the start of the season Rodgers Sherwood Moyes Pardew Allardyce Bruce Monk Lambert Hughton Hughes Pulis Pearson Dyche Mclaren
Voll Blau Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 No sympathy for the Redbirds. Feel sorry for the Keep Cardiff Blue lot but, as we've seen from the fact they still get good attendances, they're in a depressing minority.
Fox92 Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Voll Blau, on 25 Feb 2014 - 6:27 PM, said:No sympathy for the Redbirds. Feel sorry for the Keep Cardiff Blue lot but, as we've seen from the fact they still get good attendances, they're in a depressing minority. At the minute, yeah. They are playing the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton. But do you still think the attendances will still be decent if they're still playing in red and, lets say, been in the Championship for three or four straight years again? I know they are a well supported club, mind.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 How is this surprising Ole has been absolute woeful upon arrival.
Harry - LCFC Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Surprised this story didn't come sooner tbh
DennisNedry Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 was it Thracian who suggested sacking Nige and bringing Solshy in?

LanguedocFox Posted 25 February 2014 Author Posted 25 February 2014 Those names are so depressing. Why?
The Horse's Mouth Posted 25 February 2014 Posted 25 February 2014 Why? Apart from Pearson and Rodgers the rest are completely shiet.
