The top six contenders are announced, after Cardiff City decided to fire their manager Mark Hudson and replace him with Dean Whitehead in an interim capacity, know the club’s next manager odds
The decision was made by the club following Saturday’s disheartening 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic, which extends City’s winless run to nine games and places them only three points above the relegation zone in the league standings.
This comes after Bluebirds head coach Alan Hudson criticised the naivety of his team’s players, who gave Wigan Athletic the opportunity to score an equaliser in the 96th minute.

His team took the lead thanks to Callum O’Dowda in the 82nd minute, and it appeared as though they had ended their winless streak that dated back to the 5th of November, when they prevailed over Sunderland by a score of 1-0.
However, the Championship strugglers are now winless in nine games after Will Keane scored an injury-time goal. And Hudson took aim at his players’ immaturity and lack of game management at the end of the encounter.
Cardiff City Football Club has relieved Mark Hudson of his duties as First Team Manager.
The Board of Directors would like to place on record its thanks to Mark for all of his work as a player, coach and manager whilst with the Bluebirds.

Ken Choo, the CEO of the company, broke the news to Hudson not long after he had finished his post-match press conference, during which he appeared to be utterly uninformed that he was about to be fired. What he had to say during the media briefing is available for reading here.
Hudson was named as Cardiff’s manager in November. Following the unexpected dismissal of Steve Morison. Although he was unable to breathe new life into the club’s increasingly lacklustre Championship season.
What is the next plan ahead for Cardiff City?
This will continue to take place unless Cardiff City establishes a distinct direction. Of playing style, and philosophy, in addition to potentially hiring a technical director. The way that football was played by Mark Hudson was very dissimilar to the way that football was played by Steve Morison. Who was permitted to bring in 17 players to play his specific brand of football.
Cardiff boss Mark Hudson:
“Obviously there’s the time added on…but we had chances to keep the ball down their end and then to get the ball away…we were naive. They came to frustrate us and be direct, but we got ourselves into a winning position.” #wafc pic.twitter.com/vbv2HOHakL

Hudson tried something new, but it was unsuccessful. However, this will continue to occur if there is not proper alignment from the highest point to the lowest. In that case, a few months from now, there will be yet another unfortunate person up on the chopping block.
