Former Cardiff City captain Sean Morrison opens up about Vincent Tan, whose passion for the club can’t be questioned despite his unconventional methods. Sean recalls some memorable stories, like Tan’s legendary advice to shoot from the halfway line, which stems from his own journey of persistence against the odds. Despite Tan’s huge financial investment in Cardiff, there have been calls for better management of funds. Sean suggests that bringing in a director of football could guide the club to sustainable success, a move he believes the club desperately needs.
He reminisces about the challenges the team faced, particularly during the 2020 play-offs, when Vincent’s desire to see Cardiff back in the Premier League was evident. Sean admires the passion Tan has for the Bluebirds, even as his involvement in day-to-day operations appears sporadic.
The club has seen some highs, like the unexpected promotion in 2018, but with relegation threats looming, it’s clear that a new strategy is crucial. Sean praises the efforts of Brian Barry-Murphy and the coaching team, who have laid a solid foundation, and advocates for someone who can build on this groundwork.
With the academy thriving and a strong ethos in place, Sean argues that appointing a director of football could offer the consistency needed for Cardiff to flourish. Let’s see if the club takes his advice and keeps the momentum going!
