Congratulations to Steve Morison, Tom Ramasut and Mark Hudson. Cardiff’s progress over the last few months has been a real team effort and it's my personal belief Morison’s new deal is a deserved reward for the hard work of all three.
The uncertainty surrounding Morison’s future was becoming an issue and it was starting to feel like everything else was on hold while that situation remained unresolved. Now that we know who the manager is until at least the summer of 2023 and, with a 16-point buffer and 11 games left to play, in which division they will be playing next season, planning can begin ahead of a pivotal summer.
The priority has to be deciding which of the 10 players currently heading out of contract will be offered new terms and which will be allowed to depart as free agents. That long-running saga will be no easy task.
