Would you be happy with Steve Morison?

Given the rumours that the board are keen to appointment Steve Morison as Head Coach, would you be happy with him?

Literally never heard of him. But if the board think he’s right, he gets my backing.

The reporter works for Reach, and I assume that’s exactly what this is. I will comment however that he was quite liked at Cardiff by the fans and they believe he should have had more time, once he got his signings in they was in great form. Signed 17 new players and then was only given 10 games.. They re-interviewed him for the job this summer before he took the Hornchurch job. He took the job because he wanted to get back into football and the Hornchurch owner sold him the dream at a charity match, which is a huge risk because if he failed there then his managerial career is effectively over. Top of the league and cruising.. would be an interesting appointment that’s for sure.

I really don’t understand why people are so against it, on first glance it’s a bit odd but the more you look at it the more sense it makes.

Think you've got to look at the source. Morrison is Welsh, source is Welsh journo, its Morrison  n his agent putting himself out there n generating a bit of publicity imho

I think he'd be a good appointment but will he want to leave Hornchurch after such a short time there? If the Hornchurch owner is happy with the compensation Grimsby offer then it could happen and I'd be more impressed and excited than if one of the usual suspects came in.

I just don’t see us taking a manager from the Isthmian league. Yes, Morison had a good career as a player and has managed in the EFL at Cardiff, but I’m not sure there’s a CV there which suggests a sufficient probability of success.

I also don’t see why we’d be so far apart in any supposed negotiation. Assuming we’re offering the going rate for a League Two manager, and I’ve absolutely no reason to believe that we are not, if Morison wanted to manage in the EFL again he’d be here like shít off your shoe.

I’d be surprised if there’s any substance to this whatsoever.

To add to the above, this so-called reporter has been spouting quite a lot of stuff about the Brizzle Rovers job and several others (including Town). Just looks scattergun to me, and not particularly ITK.











I don’t think this guy knows anything.

Just from looking at his Wiki page, he certainly knew where the goal was as a striker in his playing days.

Sounds a bit of a grafter, who had to work hard to get to where he got to. And also sounds like he did great for Cardiff in that first season, turning them around and playing attacking football with a clear plan.

He’s from Enfield and played a lot of his career at Stevenage and Millwall, so it doesn’t bother me that he just took a job that’s local to him lower down rather than sitting on his bottom.

Might only be telling one side of the story of course, but it’s pretty wild to be writing off a guy who won championship manager of the month just last year, especially when he’s only a few years into his coaching career.

I agree with your point about the supposed journalist knowing close to f all. He’s only managing in the Isthmian division because he wanted to get back into football and give himself a challenge. His career was one that started in non league and he worked his way into the football league. He was re-interviewed for the Cardiff job this summer, he was also approached by a number of clubs in the divisions above after he was dismissed but wanted a little hiatus before getting back into management. You’re quickly forgotten about in football if you aren’t in the limelight and I think it’s possibly a case of the forgotten man and could play into our hands if there’s any truth in the rumour.
