0114 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Cardiff boss McCarthy tried and failed for the frontman in the January window. And he is keen to take him on a free transfer in the summer. The former Blackburn Rovers frontman arrived at Wednesday from Middlesbrough in a £10m deal in 2017. He has scored just 14 times in 87 appearances in the Championship for them - including three this term. Meanwhile, Wednesday’s owner Dejphon Chansiri has put off potential new managers by offering a contract that only lasts for the season. Chansiri fears the financial impact of relegation. And short-list candidates have been told long-term deals are out. McCarthy in for Rhodes. Managers put off by Chansiri only offering a deal while the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0742 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 If true, I'm glad we didn't get McCarthy. No manager should be wanting Rhodes at this level if they want to be competitive. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Owls-Fan Posted February 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I doubt Cardiff will sign Rhodes if they get promoted Also you just know Chansiri is sat thinking it’s all these manager’s fault for not wanting a 3 month contract. But in the next media session he will say: “I offer them very good contract to manage club (for 3 months), but they do want to manage Wednesday. They are strange. Maybe we are not a big club or the negative fans scare them away” Edited February 28, 2021 by Owls-Fan 20 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet play him up front with a player like Paterson, get wingers to cross the ball into him that he can run onto and he scored goals just fine 15 2 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Don't care where Rhodes goes, we don't play him so up to him where he signs when his contract expires. As for the manager, the contract length is pathetic. Managers aren't going to want to work to prove themselves with both hands tied behind their back under Chansiri. About time he appoints now on the basis of next season, in L1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrickyTrev Posted February 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2021 Funny isn’t it how a vastly experienced Championship manager who has taken his side from the lower reaches of the division to the brink of the playoffs wants to sign a striker off of us who is deemed not good enough to get into our first team. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No manager should be wanting Rhodes at this level if they want to be competitive. Having Rhodes in your squad on 1/3 of the wages hes on now wouldnt be a bad thing. Id take that over having a Kachunga for example. But I dont think he can have a side built around him anymore thats for sure. Cardiff under McCarthy, with Moore up front along side him? That's probably what he needs in a side tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could mean a whole array of things but not willing to give a manager a contract beyond the summer seems quite strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see why we're where we are can't you? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I know it's a cliche but I would drive Rhodes to Cardiff myself. Fed up hearing what a lovely lad he is while he picks up £30k pw and doesn't look interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 'Meanwhile, Wednesday’s owner Dejphon Chansiri has put off potential new managers by offering a contract that only lasts for the season. Chansiri fears the financial impact of relegation.' You know what 's increased our chances of relegation? Failing to hire a manager and coaching team with more than half the season remaining and instead hoping our U23s coach can keep pulling rabbits out of the hat. If managers don't want to join a club in our position without the security of a longer contract, that's entirely understandable. Our situation isn't comparable to the likes of Bristol City or Cardiff where managers have been happy to take on short-term deals. If Chansiri wanted to avoid relegation and all that comes with it, he's gone about it in completely the wrong way as far as I'm concerned. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
