Wow! You actually took my post seriously!
Unsurprising though i guess, as you've never been one to display any form of humour!
Hang on, i take it back. the video of you eating the Cardiff gingerbread man was quite brilliant! Any chance you can put the link up for those who haven't seen it?

Laudrup, not only the best manager since we moved to the Liberty but the best manager in our history, should have let him have a free reign, but a certain bunch with far less talent and know how put payed to that.

On what basis was he the best?
Garry Monk was arguably our second best manager in our history if you purely count achievement, but clearly that’s far from the case.

There is clearly a differential between best and most successful as previously said.
The best manager is clearly Rodgers, especially given his record since leaving. Whilst he was fortunate to inherit a strong position in the job like his two predecessors, he still had to deliver on it. He still had to keep a newly promoted team in the Premier League, which he accomplished with ease. I'm not convinced at all that we'd have struggled in his third season. We'd have been competitive at least.
Despite all that the first season under Laudrup is potentially the high water mark of our entire existence as a club, in terms of both winning trophies and the standard of football employed in the process. He took what Rodgers had created and kicked it on several gears.
You can't really look outside those two for best since moving to the stadium. Can't really look beyond those two full stop, despite big contributions from others in the clubs past.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

It wasn't him a free rein we were giving, it was his agent and a lockdown on our finances

Who were you screaming for before Martinez was appointed now? hahaha
Some joirneyman long ball manager, will you admit to who it was, i forget now.
Maybe it's why you want the midfield bypassed now.

It’s impossible to say who is the “best” as there are so many differentials to consider: playing budget, resources, training facilities, timing, division, players etc but for winning the League One Championship with flair and fluency and changing the playing style literally overnight Roberto Martinez‘ achievements put him at the top of the pile.
But let’s be fair, Brendan Rodgers was undoubtedly also so successful as was Michael Laudrup. It was a sheets delight to watch our team play right through this era with the notable exception of the defensive dross experienced for one season under Sousa.
Historically though John Toshacks achievements make him our all time number one. I’ll never forget those days. â¤ï¸

I’ve not ever changed my political views.
This is a new political climate, had the political climate been this way 15 years ago I would have had these same discussions 15 years ago.
Don’t like the way society is going. I’m pretty unapologetic, it’s just common sense from my view.
I have, I voted Cameron in 2010 or whenever it was or at least that was my objective as voting Tory in Aberdare is a pretty lost cause. I was generally politically disenfranchised back then in, like you say, simpler times. I was also very wary of Corbyn 5 years ago and didn't want him in charge.
I changed my tune on that as well and was really hoping to see what effect he would have had taking on the establishment.
Basically mate, if you're not changing your mind, you're not using it.
And if you want to pathetically trawl through crap to shine the Trump family and administration in a good light then you haven;t got an effing mind.

In your opinion of course.
“Trawling through crap” of course, you mean major political points you would prefer to ignore as they are inconvenient to your liberal crusade?
I most certainly won’t be changing my mind. You can of course put forward some points to try, however your current style won’t be changing anybodies mind that’s for sure.
But at this point I think we both know that is not your intention. You want a sparring partner. Happy to oblige.

Indeed there is Chris but iimo Monk had it better than most.
I guess everyone has their own opinion mine is Laudrup was the best for the reasons I stated earlier in the thread.
Chico Flores Pablo Hernández Jonathan de Guzmán José Cañas Alejandro Pozuelo Michu
These players all left the club prior to Monks full season in charge. They were the cream of the crop of Laudrups signings. So your claim doesn't really hold any water Pencs.
