The club's players will always come and go as will the staff. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we the fans are the only constant at the club. The days of players remaining at one club for the duration of their career are all but gone and whilst I do think the club has missed a trick in not getting Jay signed on a new contract it's generally the way football is now. I'm not sure if discussions have taken place with Jay and for how long but I would imagine his agent will be saying the same things as Joe Ledley's did....let the contract run it's course and reap the rewards after. Take Gabbidon for instance he may or may not end up with us but if he does then we will get him on the cheap because West Ham have not given a new contract offer...will hammers fans not turn up until Gold and Sullivan have gone? I doubt it very much.
You've got to support your/our club through thick and thin whether you agree with decisions made or not. We are on the brink of getting promoted to the premier league and if a large amount of fans start staying away and or bringing negativity to the club it could well affect the results as much as us losing an important player such as Jay.
I will support the cluB always, its in my blood and I would expect it to be in yours. I dont go every week to support Jones, VT or even Jay or Bellamy, I go to support Cardiff City.....MY CLUB!!

Exactly right. Jay has been an outstanding player for this club at times but nobody is indispensable.
5 million would be a fantastic deal. That would get us a Charlie Austin type, a younger, hungrier player.
As for Jones letting the players contract run down? Really? I think the boardroom have the final say on contracts, not the manager.
But if you choose to stay away because of the sale of one person then you are not a fan of the club.
I have not agreed with many things within the club. The sales of Kav, Earnie, Collins, Gabbidon, Johnson, Jerome and Ramsey were all agreed and where are we now, sitting in second. We are not Arsenal or Man Utd, we have no divine right to be in the Premiership.

I am neither humiliated nor at a loss.

Agreed. However, we are not the richest club in the world and unfortunately every player has his price.

Surely if your opinions, actions and historical strategies are as good as you say then you would now no doubt be a billionaire that can help us progress. If the short term strategy was to gain money then surely they would have immediately looked at getting Jay on a better longer term contract that would put his value up to the £6M+ mark. Then that would have given them the opportunity to make hay so to speak with Jay.
I'm all for getting rid of the likes of PR but he had a track record of poor management as opposed to the current crop who dont really have one yet. Let's see what they bring before going back down the protest route! And before you go down the "it may be too late if we delay" route it may well be better to wait and see as Man Utd did with Ferguson....didn't do them any harm did it?
