❌ Morison SACKED as CARDIFF manager - My Reaction!

[@NWM_YT]

As a Cardiff fan I am absolutely disgusted with this decision, considering the drastic overhaul during the summer with the players coming in and the style of play this makes absolutely no sense at all! After what has come out on Wales Online (even though they can be very hit & miss at times) the decision is 100% lunacy and a complete show of panic and impatience by the board. I have given the board & Vincent Tan chance after chance to put things right after an entire essay of completely abhorrent decisions but now enough its enough - Tan Out!

[@Walesktf]

I'm not a fan of Tan either after the way he p*ssed all over our tradition, culture and history by changing us to playing in red from our traditional blue. Totally unforgiveable! Also, what is that centipede on our badge all about, eh? However, on this occasion Tan and Co. have to be applauded for getting rid of the inept Morison. Let's just hope Tan goes for someone decent this time around. Please dear Footballing Gods, not Warnock again!!

[@owainyates347]

Tan out haha he’s the one with the dough. Morison was given a massive chance by tan which no other club in the league would give him and he chose to be an arrogant bully boy, with zero repor with the fans. Good riddance now get a proper passionate Cardiff type manager in Nathan Jones now. Let’s see what this squad is capable of with proper guidance!

[@NWM_YT]

@@owainyates347 This comment absolutely baffles me - if you actually READ into it he was sacked for "poor performances" and nothing to do with his attitude. You can see what he was trying to do and needed way more time instead of the board making another stupid decision - Nathan Jones is a quality shout however there is no way they will pay his wages or the buyout clause - after all SM was the lowest paid manager in the league!

[@owainyates347]

@NWM don’t know what can possibly baffle you. Didn’t say he was sacked for being arrogant but his arrogance hasn’t helped him considering what he’s served up on the pitch wasn’t good enough either. Like I said tan gave him a chance at this level which no other club would’ve done for a novice academy coach. He should count himself lucky for the experience he’s had. We won’t pay for Nathan Jones, well I don’t understand how you could say such a thing, are you tans financial advisor or accountant? How on earth would you know what our billionaire owner is prepared to do to restore his assets?

[@se7enmax]

@@owainyates347 NJ is chained to the dugout after every game. No more wandering off Nathun 🤣

[@CCoffey_2023]

Honestly, I think it was something behind the scenes. I can’t in my right mind figure out why we waited to lose 8 in a row to sack McCarthy but wait until the first bad patch to sack Morison

[@Walesktf]

I tend to agree with you here. Not a fan of him, but thought Tan & Co. would wait to see how we were doing come the World Cup break

[@isleofwhites9845]

You talk shite . Wake up

[@chrisdoesstuff878]

The wording of the statement and the fact that his assistant stayed makes me think that he’s done something behind the scenes.

[@bluebirdlegend]

Shocking decision. Style of play completely changed and so many personnel changes. Even though results were not great watching the Bluebirds this season has been in the main very enjoyable. Nathan Jones name has been bounded around a lot in South Wales (and is a massive Cardiff fan) - if I was in charge though i'd take a real good look at Scott Parker. If Parker could adjust his tactics slightly and go a little bit more direct at times - then it could be a very good appointment (not sure how much in wages he'd demand though).

[@topcat4759]

Doubt Nathan Jones would chance it,(Cardiff fan or not)sometimes clouds your judgement, made the mistake of going to Stoke and perhaps regrets it even now. Proves that money is not everything and got a good thing going again at Luton. Scott Parker a possible option but like you say wages? Foreign the only other decent option out there at present?

[@Steaks652]

Style of play, bloody heck. Happy clappers alert, 25 sideways passes includes 3 back to keeper and zero impact beyond opponents 18 yard box.

[@bluebirdlegend]

@@Steaks652 you are correct Parker’s style is laboriously slow. However with a few tweaks here and there (more directness) then it could be a very good match.

[@julianpearce312]

Wages and funds, and he would fall out with mr Tann in about thirty seconds

[@happyChappy96621]

This is baffling decision. There is other managers that are massively underachieving wilder at Middlesbrough and Bruce at WBA. Morrison will get another job and he’ll be successful The fact his assistant is still there is a bit suspicious. Brings back memories of Pep Clotet and Garry monk being in a similar position

[@owainyates347]

SM is an arrogant bully boy, didn’t identify we needed a striker before the season, persisted playing a league 2 striker in watters and the confidence we had against Norwich was lost and it’s spread through the team. Completely clueless against one of the worst sides in the league which had to be the end for the chump, bully boy, academy coach. Good riddance. Get Nathan Jones in or dyche, Jones be first choice, Rhondda boy - passion!

[@johnjubal1958]

I'm a Jack and a Welshman and it's we the season has not long kicked off and Cardiff has sacked their manager. This is never a good thing to do and besides the Blue's ain't haven't had a really bad start! The Championship is always volatile at the beginning of the season anyway because two win can do a huge difference to your standings but to change a manager so early after the season has begun is dumb to say the least. The first Blue's have produced some good football and the players get into their stride for what the manager wants they tend to produce the goods over the season. They should have given his at least until Christmas and then judge his performance! Changing a manager so early on simply turns the milk cart up side down as progress has been halted and the player have go again with another manager with different ideas!

[@bororich7726]

I expect you might be doing a few more these videos over the next few days. However I'm giving wilder until the world Cup to have us in the top 6

[@edmundwalker1597]

never seen a man more likely to lose a dressingroom. tactily iffy / how do you start a season without a decent striker. / good riddance, decent decision by rge board

[@Steaks652]

Bang on Ed, we have been very poor.

[@Steaks652]

As a proper cardiff fan I am so relieved he has gone, won't be a popular decision with the happy clappers amongst us these days, but sideways and backwards passing don't cut it . It's not about results it's about performances done it for me, typical academy coach speak, they prefer 20 passes to a goal. No guts in side comes from his attitude. Etc etc , I raise a glass to whoever pulled the plug on this unpopular guy.

[@adamcollins915]

I'll be creating some KZbin videos on Mick McCarthy's 4 year tenure at Millwall. Called 'The worst 4 years in managerial history'. Inheriting a Prem squad & leaving a bloated league 2 squad. And that was after spending over 10 million (in today's money) on 54 players! The recovery took 5 years - relegation, administration & 5 tough years in league 1.

[@SGMiner21]

I'm still baffled by it, I can't understand how he was backed yet still got the chop. I have no idea who we'll replace him with but I can't see any available managers who would improve our position any more than Morison did, poor decision and Tan really has a lot to answer for

[@sjfootball1692]

As a Cardiff fan I think this is an appalling decision from our board he’s the only manager who’s tried to install a decent brand of football into our club since 2011

[@saxbend]

20th annual farewell tour for Warnock? Surely not!

[@jayvlogs1007]

A bit surprised about this

[@markmurphy3578]

I don’t think considering their current position this wasn’t a performance issue. But some clubs still think that they are bigger than they are. And I mean that in a current form kind of way (across the last few seasons.) They are struggling with consistency and there’s no quick fix for that. Sometimes it’s braver to stick with it rather than just shoot the manager. Especially when you consider the changes in personnel in the summer.

[@Fozzer27]

Seems like every time we beat a team they sack the manager. First stoke now cardiff 🤣🤣🤣

[@burnsyboyy7534]

It was an awful decision, don’t know if this is true or not but I was told by a friend that Morison had a huge Fall out with Tan or somebody upstairs, Tan’s Team are ruining this club, they need to do one, the people who are suffering are us Fans and the players. As there is no money here I won’t be surprised if we go for another Cheap option which will be Mark Hudson.

[@topcat4759]

As a neutral fan could see it coming earlier in the season. Tan has little patience and international breaks are quite often the time for such decisions. Only problem now is who would you replace him with? Always thought Harris did a decent job, maybe ex Millwall players are not an ideal choice.Dyche may have a close eye on the Leicester or Forest jobs, especially if Brighton are after Steve Cooper for some weird reason. Cannot see Warnock going back, he will have his pipe and slippers in some rest home by now.Maybe Russell Martin.LOL.

[@jayjayb89]

Serious question Ben... Who you feeling is the next one who could get sacked... For me Bruce and wilder could be in trouble if don't sorting the form out

[@BenjaminBloom]

I think that might bit it with Hudds and Cardiff…never say never though!

[@oliverjohnbarnes]

Saw them yesterday against us and got to say they looked like a team going through the motions. Didn’t seem like a team fighting for their manager. He was right in front of me and kept holding his head in his hands over some of the decisions his players where making. Feels like so many managers have had their last game at the John Smiths 😅

[@Walesktf]

Spot on matey. We did indeed look like a team off 11 players just going through the motions. Clueless and inept with it too

[@JC-hu1wd]

Fair play for the 750 that made the journey. Both clubs having a tough time. You were way too sloppy at times but a point looked likely. Surprised with the sacking though. Good luck.

[@Walesktf]

@@JC-hu1wd good luck too matey. Whereabouts do you think you'll finish come the end of the season (I had you down as Top 6 until I realised you had sold a few of your best players pre-season)?

[@JC-hu1wd]

@@Walesktf Thomas has been poor all season. He needs a reality check. The miss summed him up. Like most Town fans knew it would be a relegation fight. Left hand side totally ripped out and replaced with League 1 and B team and unfit loans. Backs to the wall all the way

He gave up on last season the minute we were safe those results are included in the stats with this seasons results and used against him now.. then he said its about results not points at the moment, got it totally wrong with with performance and comments in the swansea match and threw a few players under the bus a hard man to warm to but probably should have been given til november

Both of our wins so far have been followed by their managers getting sacked. Thats how powerful Huddersfield are.

[@Steaks652]

Don't kid yourself Sam.

[@timcliffsmith]

This is a disgrace. 17 new signings, just signed Robinson. Saved us easily from relegation, new style. Hit and miss? Sure. Don't think anyone expected anything else. Honestly, this is the most bizarre and disastrous management decision in my 30+ years of supporting City. Everything was looking good, building towards something, but now...honestly...who knows? I'm with you, think there must be more to it, but heard nothing from the board, which is laughable. Where do we go now? Tan has turned the whole fan base against him in one swift motion. Idiotic.

[@julianpearce312]

This is a pivotal moment for the Cardiff city owner, I say owner not board. Because he and only he makes the decisions… does he want to go forward and if so spend some serious money or is he happy treading water and losing more of the fan base. Either way we need a director of football and some structure on the football front, a clear plan and footballing identity. Push the boat out and PAY for Nathan Jones and let him restructure the football side of things, and give him time

I never saw this from a mile off, can anyone provide any insight as he was given license to sign 10+ players and build something and Cardiff have been decent and just lack a cutting edge. What has been the cause?

[@Walesktf]

We have looked clueless, aimless and bar scoring 3 goals at Middlesboro in mid-week toothless in front of goal. We also lack a leader on the pitch. I have a gut feeling that Morison has either said something to the hierarchy at the club or there has been fisticuffs in the changing room after another inept performance away at Huddersfield yesterday. Morison signed 17 players pre-season but left leaving a goals scorer until the very last. The guy we signed from WBA isn't a natural goal scorer anyway, and took the weakest penalty from a City player I have easily seen in the last 20 seasons

[@alastairwood7277]

@@Walesktf I mean as a North End fan maybe my perception is skewed as I mean you nabbed Robinson from us and we are even more inept at scoring.

[@twizzle1952]

He’s better off elsewhere. I’ve followed Cardiff since the early 1960’s. Managers at Cardiff used to be treated with respect, but not in recent years. Let’s be honest, if you look at the club, who represent a capital city, we’ve never really been successful. We’re massive underachievers. How many times have I heard the phrase “we’re sleeping giants”. What a load of tosh! The Cardiff that we are now show no respect for any manager. They dont give managers any real money to buy players so they have to look around the lower leagues. Then if one of the players shows any real talent and form (especially if they start scoring goals) and becomes an attractive proposition for other teams there is no hesitation in the club selling him . Good luck elsewhere Steve and hopefully you find a proper club where you will thrive, be appreciated and more importantly…..respected.
