Cardiff City chairman Mehmet Dalman has declared the club is more united than it has been for a long time under manager Brian Barry-Murphy. Dalman's comments come after a 3-1 win over Charlton Athletic ended a seven-game winless run in the Championship, lifting the side to 21st place with seven points from eight matches.
"I've never seen Cardiff City more united than they are under Brian Barry-Murphy," Dalman said. He emphasised that the football side and the management side have been completely aligned on transfer policy and targets this summer. The chairman stated that the club's recruitment strategy was shaped by Barry-Murphy's wishes, with signings like Jack Moylan, Nathan Trott, Calum Scanlon and Krystian Bielik made when the right opportunities arose.
Dalman pointed to the strong dialogue between chief executive Ken Choo and the manager, and noted that owner Vincent Tan has been fully supportive. He compared the current atmosphere to the bridge built between players, the board and fans during Neil Warnock's successful era at the club.
The recent victory, where summer signing Jack Moylan scored twice, provides a tangible boost. Moylan is now the team's top scorer this season with three goals in eight appearances.
Despite the win, the broader picture shows a challenging start. Cardiff's recent form reads one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five outings. The club will be hoping the unity praised by Dalman translates into more consistent results as they look to climb the standings.
