But I remember the day the Riddler resigned at the shareholders meeting over 2 years ago and TG told us all we dont do play offs any more, Cardiff City next season will go up automatic.
Really looking forward to hearing our new signings.

And he backed that by bringing in Bellamy, Koumas, Chopra, Olofinjana, Ramsey, JET etc. - even JLS . Think he held up his side of the bargain in fairness.

You do not know who we are going for though. Very few people do.
Viable and prudent, in football speak, means they may come here and the business sense is there. Let's say we go for Bellamy. Is it viable? Yes, played for us before, lives in the area. Is it prudent? No. We would need to offer a 1 - 2 million and then wages on top. Resale value? NONE. Therefore, from a business perspective, not at all prudent, we stand to lose three to four million on the deal.
Now Jordan Rhodes. We bid 4 million. Viable? Possible, but unlikely. Prudent? Definitely. A bad season and he can still be sold on at minimal loss, a good season without promotion, his value rises, promotion and everyones laughing.
I am not saying either of those are on the radar but just explaining how we could interpret 'viable and prudent'.

We went for Jay Rodriguez who was clearly Prem bound.
