    Can’t see it happening with some of the managers available but I’d imagine we will see our manager linked with a few clubs this season

    Michael Flynn. He was the front runner and in the frame which was why he apparently resigned at Newport then Cardiff did a reversal leaving him out of work until the Walsall job came up. Watch this space.

    Looking at the early odds you have names like Sean Dyche, Nathan Jones and Sam Allardyce so I can’t see MH being on their radar but some Cardiff fans do seem to think Hughes has his admirers on their board though.

    We'll definitely see him 'linked' with a few clubs if you keep linking him with clubs.

    That's an absolute certainty.

    But if you don't post these threads, he's unlikely to be 'linked'.

    But I know all City fan wish away players and managers.

    No doubt Cook will soon be 'linked' to moves away.

    I don't have the impression that Hughes would leave midway through this job and whilst yes, it's a Welsh team, Hughes is a Wrexham boy and lives in Cheshire. I don't see it happening.

    Can't see it.

    Being backed well here. Decent club. Doesn't need the money.

    Mark Hughes can see the opportunity to build something special here with his team. I think he will take much pride in getting us to the Championship.

    Uh huh.

    But I doubt we'll be reading this link in the papers.

    If a big club comes in for him he'll be off. It's naive to assume otherwise. The better we do, the more likely it is to happen, especially as we approach sacking season.

    This is a problem having a high profile manager there’s always that speculation about him leaving. We had this with Roy McFarland in the 80s who quickly left us to go manage Derby. Hughes however has been and done the big time. I believe and hope he’s very happy at City and will continue in the job with City.

    I agree. He sought us out. He considers us a project. It is clear he us very happy here. He doesn't need a bigger salary, he has managed at the top level already. We won't keep him forever, but I can't see him leaving for Cardiff.

    I think McFarland going back to Derby is different to Sparkie going to Cardiff, Derby was the club where McFarland had a large amount of success during his career a bit like the McCall situation with us, Cardiff could offer more money without a doubt but does he need the money at club that is 180 or so miles away from his Cheshire home, I cant see it Captain.

    Went 4 years without work then gets 12 wins from 25 at a L2 club, doesn't scream championship level recruitment. Would read sod all in that one.

    He's playing 4231 and tippy tappy football that doesn't work, and sticking with Andy Cook up front who is clearly not good enough.

    He's lucky to be avoiding the sack, forget about higher level interest.

    I wouldn’t worry just yet. But having players and managers linked with higher clubs is the trade off for doing well and success. Bring it on.

    Cardiff is the sort of club he could be interested in the future. Hopefully not yet

    Aye where’s that 442 the Bradford City way, with a big man, little man combination. What a charlatan.
