Cardiff aim to prove doubters wrong - Barry-Murphy
Boss Brian Barry-Murphy says Cardiff City aims to disprove pundits who have dismissed them as possible relegation candidates in 2026-27
Cardiff City's head coach Brian Barry-Murphy aims to defy critics who predicted the club's failure upon their return to the Championship. After finishing runners-up in League One during the 2025-26 season, Barry-Murphy says his team feels capable of surprising many with their performance. While he remains tight-lipped about the club's potential Championship finish, Barry-Murphy dismisses predictions placing them among the relegation candidates.
The 48-year-old acknowledges the difficulty of the upcoming season, recognizing the strength of rival teams, but emphasizes the excitement that accompanies such a challenge. Cardiff's focus is solely on their upcoming match against Welsh rivals Wrexham on August 17 at the Cardiff City Stadium, with Barry-Murphy hinting that no more new signings might be made ahead of the game.
