What are you basing your opinion on ? His record is better than most people think. He has been called a great tactician by several Turkish journalists ok he says his teams don’t play tikka takka style football but that’s never been City’s style anyway. he took relatively unknown Turkish sides to European football and also won the Turkish cup. That’s like Dundee winning a trophy in Scotland it rarely happens. There has been talk of Ramsey wanting to “ come home” so who knows. It certainly can’t be any worse than Steve Morrison This is a manager on a career wind down, I'd love to proven differently but everything about this feels like it's a manager on the wind down. How did you work that one out? He's only 48 and Cardiff are the second biggest club he's managed? |

What “ few circumstances “ are you actually referring to? The appointment has gone very down well with most City fans so far. |

I know nothing about him so take my opinion with a pinch of salt...
The headlines I've seen suggest he's looking at bringing in up to ten new players, multiple members of staff, making significant changes to pre-season plans and is on a one year deal with option to extend for further two years.
It's a club that brought in twelve-thirteen (how does Robinson count if several games into new season?) new players into the first team last summer. That's a big turnover in successive summer windows and still so much more to be done in terms of renewing contracts.
I'm coming to the conclusion that biggest indicator of managerial success is the structure they come into. This is still the biggest question mark at the club.
Dalman seems emboldened in talking to the media and willing to drum up fresh excitement. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

What “ few circumstances “ are you actually referring to? The appointment has gone very down well with most City fans so far. It happens, they have a bad appointment and then end up getting or taking less and less desirable jobs before that's it, football is full of examples of that and at the present time this has that kind of feel about it, to me, obviously not to you or some other fans, I have seen plenty of unimpressed Cardiff fans online too but this is what makes up life's rich tapestry, we're not all the same, we don't all think the same. In terms of few circumstances, he doesn't recruit the right players, classic Cardiff of late, isn't quite prepared for the madness of the Championship with games coming thick and fast, doesn't get off to a great start and struggles to turn it around. They are just three examples of things that would hardly be surprising if they occurred, it's Cardiff City, they've been a mess for a while. Obviously this is how I think it could go, if I knew this was how it was going to go I'd be living in a bigger house than I currently am and the bookies would hate me but I'm yet to develop a real life flux capacitor and to be honest if I did I'd want to track down a Delorean to fit it into for authenticity, sticking it in a Citroen BX wouldn't quite be the same, the whole process could take time and money before I'd reap the rewards. I might stick a tenner on him being out of a job by the start of December, I'll put the winnings in the Delorean fund. |

All Cardiff need is a manager that can improve their players, haven't had one of them for ages now. Every manager wants to make a few signings to fit their style, but he must have known coming into this there wouldn't be much budget to use. I'm hoping he can recommend some good prospects from the Turkish leagues (a good standard) that we can get on the cheap - even a few decent loans from there would do the trick

This is the test of any manager who has a restricted agenda to work with, Bulet said to be scouring the European market for freebies but there are plenty of players been made available here too, the recruitment will be interesting but the impression given is one of survival without ambition.

Your point was correct up until the press conference on Monday. During that press conference Bulut who doesn’t lose that many games said he was looking towards the premier league. Plus Dalman came out all guns blazing about how the new signing will easily see the Club sell ALL the remaining season tickets 18,000 ( which would be amazing in my eyes considering the last few shitty seasons they have had). Time will tell I guess. |

Cheers for that.
I saw young Dylan out in Budapest - and although the entire defense was poorly set up, Dylan seemed technically good and very confident.
Looking forward to seeing City starting some of these youngsters - and I'll be happy to renew my 5-games membership (if they still do them)?

Ramsey and Grant are very good signings, and it's almost as if the club being prevented from making transfer fees has made them more creative in the market. Also good to see Bulut bringing in players from a different market like that Greek defender signed from Turkey - a very different profile of player
Will have to see how it goes on the pitch but this transfer window is encouraging for sure

2 excellent signing for the club, but two concerning signings for Colwill's development. You'd expect Grant to play as the CF now, meaning that Robinson will share duties with Rambo as the second striker / attacking mid? Unless Robinson goes out to the right?

Hard to say how City plan on setting up at the moment with Grant, Robinson and Meite all able to play up front and out wide. I hope Colwill's game time won't be too affected and that he and Ramsey share the 10 role but difficult to say. It's possible too I suppose that Ramsey will be played deeper like he was at Nice. It'll be interesting to see how we line up against Braga and Porto next week.
All these attacking signings are unfortunately likely to have an impact on Isaak Davies though, and also on Kieron Evans who looked like he might have been in the mix this season after playing well in preseason so far.

Robinson will likely share right wing duties with Meite I’d have thought, but there’ll be a lot of chopping and changing throughout the season with the 4 attackers, Colwill still has a big role to play as a ‘10’. It’s healthy competition and a vital part of his development to battle it out for places in the starting xi |

Can't see him lining up in a deeper role under the system Bulut's been playing so far. For that to work, as it did with Nice, he needs two 8s next to him, but Bulut looks like he's going to play with a 10, so that's the only position Ramsey fits imo |

I think though that there’ll be plenty of opportunities this season for him.. as an optimistic guess Ramsey will start no more that 25/30 games and Robinson will be utilised across the 4 attackers. I think Rubin will be better for having more quality around him this season than last and that he’ll be involved in pretty much every game with a mixture of starting games and 30 minute (off the bench) games.. |

Colwill needs a stunning season if he is to nail down a starting place in Cardiff’s team and gain another contract. He has not shown any evidence of being able to achieve that.

A young (for u21s) Cardiff u21 side beat Cambrian & Clydach on penalties last night. By my count a fully Welsh squad. 2-2 after 90 minutes. Quite a lot of u18 representation, captained by Wales u17s Dylan Lawlor. Good experience for them.

Definitely seems to be more of a “feel good “ factor around the club with this new manager. Comes across as a tough but fair boss. Takes no shit kinda guy.
Obviously extremely difficult to operate under an embargo but he’s definitely began by getting some decent “freebies” through the door.
Season tickets are near 17k and first two away game allocations ( Leeds/Leicester) sold out in first 24 hours.
Quite a turnaround from last season’s shambles, even though a lot of bookies have them as one of the favourites for relegation.

Would see a mid table finish as an achievable goal after the last 3 seasons… possibly (with a bit of investment) hope to kick in to challenge for play offs next season |

A late season surge, and just scraping into the Championship play-offs is not beyond the realms...
Already on 50 points now, after these recent '3 in a row' victories.
