VFTN x Andy Legg – Part Two
Part two of our exclusive chat with Andy Legg, on his time in charge of Cardiff’s Under-23’s, his departure, his thoughts on the club’s youth development and what the future holds for him. Two and a half years ago, you returned to the club to work with the under-23’s. What’s your view on the situation […]
VFTN x Rabbi Matondo
Your moves to Manchester City and Schalke are well documented, but I was hoping to find out more about how you got in to football and how you ended up at Cardiff. You were born in Liverpool, so what age did you move to South Wales? Around two-years-old, so I basically grew up in Cardiff. […]
Why Cardiff should go all out for Lyle Taylor
We do not know when football will return, but it is safe to say that it will look very different when we next see it. That is both on the pitch, where behind closed doors games (something I am very much opposed to) are being proposed, but also off it too. We do not even […]
VFTN x Glyn Chamberlain – Part Three
In the third and final part, Glyn Chamberlain, now Head of European Scouting at Blackburn Rovers, but currently grounded like the rest of us, reflects on his final transfer window with Cardiff and his time at the club as a whole. Curtis Nelson and Gavin Whyte also both arrived from Oxford. They felt like a […]
VFTN x Glyn Chamberlain – Part Two
In part two of our exclusive interview with Glyn Chamberlain, we talk about Lee Tomlin, Gary Madine and his remit for a surprise promotion to the Premier League, including a failed move for Tammy Abraham. The signing in that window that everyone was excited about was Lee Tomlin. It was strange though because his long-standing […]
VFTN x Glyn Chamberlain – Part One
Glyn Chamberlain was Cardiff’s Head of Scouting during Neil Warnock’s reign and certainly has a tale to tell. In the first of three parts, he talks about taking charge, overhauling the scouting network and his first transfer window. How did you end up at Cardiff? Was it due to an existing relationship with Neil (Warnock)? […]
What happens when the football stops?
So, the football stopped then!? The sport that never really stops has ground to a halt and there is no sign of it resuming any time soon. All games are off until at least the start of April, but if the expected trajectory of the Coronavirus continues, and it is thought to peak somewhere around […]
How Neil Warnock won over Pep Guardiola
Neil Warnock was on fine form recently, filling in as a pundit on Soccer Saturday. A born raconteur, he had the panel in stitches with his tales, and here is another! A recent book on Pep Guardiola’s time in charge at Manchester City, Pep’s City, has shed light on the relationship between the two managers. […]
If you cheered off Josh Murphy, you failed as a supporter
Here we go again. On a rather dire night all round, where Nottingham Forest (NOTTINGHAM FOREST!) departed Cardiff with all three points, Josh Murphy, who had one of those games where he toiled without success and nothing he tried came off, was withdrawn to a smattering of cheers. Look, I get it. He’s not cutting […]
Who could be Cardiff’s first Director of Football?
At the top of the football food chain, Erling Haaland was this season’s must-have accessory. If you were not already aware of his work, you probably are now after his brace in the Champions League this week. He’s essentially a deluxe Andreas Cornelius… Anyway, the expectation was that he would depart Red Bull Salzburg and […]
