I'm gonna have to say it's Colin and I actually feel sorry for the old codger now. Always liked Neil. The problem is, he doesn't seem to believe in his team. "We did our best"... I know it's going to be hard for Cardiff this season anyway but Cardiff being back in the Prem is a dream for their fans and players. For them its not about being real, its about believing in the dream of staying up. I don't think he can do it for them. He has 3, maybe 4 more games (imho). Shame as I would like to have seen him keep one team up but I really can't stand Cardiff, so I hope he sees out the season.

I don't think Colin should get the sack as with those players I'm not convinced that anyone else could do better. Jose, on the other hand, must be a dead man walking. I just hope that they are still this s*** when we play them.

Had money on Mourinho a while back so I hope that one comes off. (Also put some down pre-season on Claude Puel, but he's doing alright.) Can't see Cardiff sacking Warnock yet - that team is performing exactly as you'd expect it to. If they're planning to invest a bit in January, maybe they'll get in a new manager close to the window.

Warnock should not get the sack, Cardiff are poor and they are lucky to have 2 points. Mourinho is my guess. Mark Hughes is a possible. Benitez is another.

No they are not. They may be poor but should have had 3 yesterday. It was Burnley who was lucky and they looked like relegation candidates as much as Cardiff in this game. Originally posted by dp

The relegation zone over the years are littered with teams that are “unlucky” in a one off game. Over the season, you can’t say that they are any more unlucky overall. You could have argued that we were unlucky not to pick anything up against a poor Burnley team this time last year. But we didn’t. Failing to turn a good performance against a poor Burnley team into points is the very epitome of relegation form. Missing good chances is not unlucky. Unlucky is having a bad decision, or the ball hitting the referee and bouncing in. I didn’t see any of that yesterday. The point I was trying to make was that the Cardiff board should not be looking at the table and feeling that it should have more than 2 points, or thinking that Warnock is underperforming. It should be realistic that relegation is highly likely and Warnock is the right man to bring them back up.

I suspect that Vincent Tan, Mehmet Dalman and Ken Choo have taken a realistic view of the prospects of Cardiff in the PL. They did spend nearly £28 Mill in pre-season but most of the signings have no real top-flight experience.Their best signings appear to be Arter and Camrassa and they have played in the top-flight. It really does look at this early stage that the relegated teams will be Cardiff, Huddersfield and one other.That said we looked nailed on for relegation last season after 7 games !

Definitely not Roy H but he may retire. Probably with a heart condition after watching Sakho repeat his efforts in recent games !!!!
