I'm sure he'll be sacked by the end of the season it's just that we'll have written off another season along with most of our current squad by then. And even then, we still have our owner and dof to fuck things up in his absence.

It's like the match was specifically designed to piss us off.

Everybody happy?

The Cardiff version of me seems to be decent.

It's quite simple really, he's no longer the slightest bit bothered about playing well for an absolute joke of a club.

I swear, supporting us is almost enough to make you forget that football can occasionally be fun to watch

In case anyone was wondering, yup, Cardiff play better than we do.

Wish we could just take 17th and end the season now. Wish we could just do that for the foreseeable future as long as there is no change in regime. The very existence of this team is just ridiculously depressing at the moment.

I really have no preference at this point whether he stays or goes. But regardless, I'm confident the club will make whichever the worst possible choice is.

We're not THAT bad... Or maybe my standards have just been lowered to the point of oblivion

I thought I'd hit the absolute heights of apathy but now that I'm actually watching a game I do kind of vaguely hope that we do well.

Don't be silly. Kinnear will be manager (for life) by then.

Mackems are supposed to be loaning Ki Sung-Yeung

Under current management? We probably are.

I seem to remember everyone was pretty ecstatic about having a billionaire English owner. Couldn't have seen what was coming obviously. He very much gave a fuck for a good while. Then stopped giving a fuck when the KK fiasco happened. Looked like he was giving a fuck again for a bit but clearly he has once again run out of fucks to give.

We haven't actually signed anyone relevant this deep into a transfer window recently have we?

Irrelevant

Will probably stay up as long as JFK doesn't take over before the end of the season. Some of the players are decent enough to sneak points here and there despite best efforts of management and manager. Will be utter shit to watch of course.

It's worse than that and has been evident for some time. He doesn't care where we finish as long as it's above 18th. It's not incompetence, just negligence.

USA, Canada, Australia should be capable of arranging something quite fast. Maybe China too. All four of those countries would require an overhaul of their public transportation infrastructure. (although perhaps not given the low standards FIFA is holding Brazil too.) It's also much more challenging to run an emergency events in large countries due to logistical issues. Stadia would also be a massive issue in Canada and China. (Unsure about Australia.) Maybe the US could get away with it if they converted Gridiron stadia.

Outside of Europe Korea and Japan are probably the only countries capable of running the tournament on ultra short (1 yr) notice

I honestly don't care who plays for us as long as the current regime remains in place. No point getting attached to this group of players when the current incarnation of the team clearly isn't going anywhere

I agree that it was either the US or Australia's turn. The only possible justification us/Japan could offer for the bid was that we'd run the tournament well, which apparently isn't that high of a priority. Qatar though

Should've given it to us. Wankers.
