Former Ipswich Town manager Dr Oliver Cadin has made a sensational
return to SAS. Cadin, Who turned Ipswich into one of the most
feared clubs in SAS in season one/S1 has made a dramatic return.
And in another amazing twist he has returned to the club who played
a part in his departure from SAS.
Cadin has returned to manage Bradford City, The side who knocked
Ipswich out of the SAS cup quarter finals in season 1/S1.
The Ipswich board admitted to trying to offer the then Bardford
keeper, Gary Walsh, A bung to " Help him with his business " and
Cadin resigned over the incident. Cadin was arguabily one of the
most successful managers in season one/S1 as he turned Ipswich
from relegation candidates into promotion hopefuls, But the bad
blood felt by Cadin towards the Ipswich board over the Walsh incident
meant that he felt he could no longer manage the club. The Ipswich
supporters were devestated by his resignation and despite Cadin
returning just a couple of months later after a disastorous spell
by Mark Richards the damage had been done and Cadin left the club
a second time.
Ipswich's SAS cup, Quarter final clash with Bradford was the
start of the trouble after not only the bung allegations but also
crowd trouble at the match in which Ipswich midfielder Steve Lomas
was struck in the face by an object thrown from the crowd.
Cadin, Who was part of the infamous SAS Premier Alliance at the
time of his departure dissapeared into obscurity after his resignation
and went on to manage at non league level. The appointment of
Cadin will come as a massive boost to Bradford after losing two
talented managers in just a few weeks. Buck Hysen left the Bantams
to join Tottenham just weeks ago and his replacement, Henry Groober
left due to personal reasons.
Bradford certainly need a solid manager to come in and settle
things down at the club and they obviously believe that Cadin
is the right man for the job.
Although not having the same success as last season on the pitch,
Bradford are still in contention with the leaders in division
one, If only just, and have qualified for the group stages of
the SAS cup. The league title may realistically be out of their
reach for this season but Bradford are still one of the favourites
for the cup and with Cadin now at the helm, Only a fool would
bet against them.
Cadin becomes yet another former manager to return to SAS. Paul
Hendrie was officially appointed manager of West Ham during the
week whilst Joe Carfton returned with Spurs and Sigfried Moeri
has been appointed assistant manager at Arsenal.
New managers have also flocked to SAS over the past week. One
of Portugal's most respected managers, Marco Sousa II joins Moeri
at Arsenal to try and kick start their flagging season, Australian,
Rixyman comes in to try and save Derby's season, Craig Bunting
joins Sunderland to replace Max Powers whilst Peter Bloater replaces
Pat McEvoy at Watford.
