                    Had a dream that Liz Truss was being considered to become Cardiff manager, which non sportsman would you most/least like to have in charge?

                    • Championship

                    For the record, I didn't want her in charge, I was tasked with bringing her to a meeting and did it with malicious incompetence. Pros of having her in charge: She'd bring a lot of publicity. 1st female manager in the EFL. Will probably have a lot of rich colleagues who could invest. Cons. -She's thick as mince with no charisma. Will bankrupt the club. Will have lettuces thrown at her every game and that'll make her storm off. submitted by /u/Mauve078 [link] [comments]

                    For us, got to be that 5-0 against Forest in March 2013. By the way, I'm not talking in terms of goals though, but in terms of how enjoyable the match was to watch - so, for example, our 3-0 win over Bristol City last week would be up there because we played so well. submitted by /u/Anonymoose3840 [link] [comments]
