Katie Borkins 1 Posted May 18, 2014 Has anyone on this forum ever cocked up in life?Has anyone on this forum made the very same mistake twice?So why assume because Mackay bought a couple of duds, he will not learn from this? Honestly, the IQ of some posters here must be double digit at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted May 18, 2014 to be fair caulker & medel were too great signings on will both move on to a top club. He got it wrong with Cornelius but he wont be the 1st or last person to get it wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MancCanary 0 Posted May 18, 2014 Name me a premiership manager who has a 100% success rate with their signings. Even just one who''s signings just for last season were all a success. As with a lot of decisions in football, and indeed life, not everything will turn out as well as you hoped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted May 18, 2014 One signing was poor, the rest did well enough. Hardly worth the longest thread title in history.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derby Canary 3 Posted May 20, 2014 Untrue?Listen to the views of a Cardiff fan who otherwise was fairly positive about MM:Apart from Caulker who i think is slight overrated and got away with alot as we had worse defenders he didn''t buy many decent players.1. Cornelius maybe should of been given a chance for a bit longer but i seen him play for the development and also first team and there was no chance in hell he was ready for the premiership (which malky brought him in for) he wanted him to be the main striker and gave him £45,000 a week on a 5 year deal at 19 years of age when he was on like £5,000 a week at copenhagen.2. Gary Medel cracking player for the first 10 games slowly drifted off and looked very unfit and was never worth 11 million, which would of rose to £15 million.also players like theophile catherine who is awful.. john brayford rated the best right back in the division who he spent 2 million on then didn''t play him once who then went out on loan, and there''s a few others who also didn''t really make much impact at Cardiff.What are you basing your judgement on ''Canary on the Wire''?

whoareyou? 0 Posted May 20, 2014 I wonder if he was one of the Cardiff supporters giving Malky a huge round of applause at Liverpool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted May 20, 2014 To be fair MM didnt pay £8.5m for him and give him £45k week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,669 Posted May 20, 2014 Mackay didn''t decide the fee or the wages.He may not have even decided the fucking player for god sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted May 20, 2014 Dave Stringer bought Dean Coney and Darren Beckford-both were record fees for us at the time. John Bond also broke our transfer record with Drazen Muzunic. None of those three are, or will ever be, Canary greats. But neither of those Managers are judged on those bad buys but what they did as a whole for, and at, the club. Judge Malky, if he is the man, on the day that he leaves us, not on what he did at Cardiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,275 Posted May 20, 2014 [quote user="Bor Bor Bor"]Has anyone on this forum ever cocked up in life?[/quote]Yeah, big time!! Spent £100 at a blind auction in Great yarmouth one summer, and received about £10 worth of ''quality'' electronics.[quote]Has anyone on this forum made the very same mistake twice?[/quote]No way! The following year, i only bought a ticket for £75 at the blacked out auctions, and still received around £10 worth. Saved myself roughly £25! …They don''t visit anymore though.[quote]So why assume because Mackay bought a couple of duds, he will not learn from this?
