Neil Harris insists he has made no pledges to Vincent Tan that Cardiff City will hit the owner’s target of 35 shots per game. The new Bluebirds manager – who says he is no clone of Neil Warnock – has predicted “evolution, rather than revolution” at the club after his appointment. Harris has vowed to […]
Wales are on a four-year high after their 2-0 Euro Championship win against Azerbaijan and are back in Cardiff feeling positive. That is a first European Championship qualifying away win since September 2015 (v Cyprus under Chris Coleman). Ryan Giggs and his team will finish second in group E if they beat Hungary at Cardiff […]
Neil Harris has returned to the Bluebirds – 15 years after spending two weeks on loan at Ninian Park. Now he has been appointed Cardiff City manager, replacing Neil Warnock, and will start with a Championship away match at Charlton Athletic next Saturday. Essex-born Harris, aged 42, says leaving South Wales resulted in the ‘biggest […]
Tom King was given a crash course in learning the Welsh national anthem after he received a mobile call from Ryan Giggs. Newport County goalkeeper King was called up alongside Wayne Hennessey and Adam Davies for Euro 2020 qualifiers against Azerbaijan in Baku on Saturday and Hungary at Cardiff City Stadium next Tuesday. The call-up […]
Bristol City 2, Cardiff City 2 Ntazana Mayembe, known as ‘Taz’ to his mates, was Cardiff City’s man of the match in their Professional Under-23 Development League Severnside derby draw. The former England under-15 international, whose family are from Zambia, scored a cracking goal and gave Robins’ defenders a difficult time with his pace and […]
Cardiff City are seeking a new manager, the 10th who will have managed the club in some form or other over the past 10 years. But the legacy and impact of Neil Warnock is one that stands alone in a turbulent decade, says Josh Thomas. The Sevenside Derby is almost up and Bristol City are attacking towards the Canton Stand. The ball is slipped through to Kasey Palmer but Leandro Bacuna comes across to clear the danger and send the ball upfield in search for a Cardiff City equaliser. Moments later the final whistle blows and The Robins secure their first away win over the Bluebirds in 17 years. Loud boos are heard from all parts of the stadium, some fans sit down, dejected, while others stand up hurling abuse towards the players and, in particular, manager Neil Warnock.
Neil Warnock has left his position as Cardiff City manager by mutual consent, the club have announced. Warnock, 70, was appointed in October 2016 with the club second from bottom in the Championship and guided them to the Premier League in 2018. But yesterday’s 1-0 home defeat to Bristol City left the Bluebirds in 14th […]

Ashley Williams’ influence on Bristol City was hailed as a major factor in their 1-0 victory at Cardiff City. The Wales captain – whose career had stalled just a few months ago after leaving Everton for an unsuccessful period on loan with Stoke City – was pinpointed by his manager Lee Johnson as a key influence in the ending of the Bluebirds’ unbeaten home record in the Championship.
Neil Warnock has claimed Swansea City fans celebrated their derby victory over Cardiff as if “they had won the World Cup.” The Bluebirds manager made the observation as he was stressing the importance of Sunday’s Severnside derby at home to Bristol City. The clash will be Cardiff’s second contest against near neighbours in three matches and Warnock is desperate for his own fans to enjoy some bragging rights after their tepid performance in the 1-0 defeat to the Swans at the Liberty Stadium.
He may be small in stature, but Nathan Dyer is proving a big influence on Swansea City’s youngsters – according to manager Steve Cooper. Dyer played four matches at the start of the season but then wasn’t seen again until the recent derby victory over Cardiff City. But having overcome injury problems and medical complications that affected the birth of his daughter, the winger has added his familiar attributes of guile and workrate to the Championship promotion-chasers.
Cardiff City 0, Birmingham City 1 Will Vaulks was named captain for Cardiff City in their Professional Under-23 Development League match against Birmingham City at Cardiff Sports Campus and Gary Madine led the attack. But coach Andy Legg’s Bluebirds slipped up against the Blues with midfield playmaker John Concannon firing the Birmingham winner. Worcestershire-born Concannon, aged […]
