Intersting that they have posted this at 10:30pm the night after the loss, are they aware of something imminent ?

Pressure is mounting on Cardiff City manager Omer Riza with the Championship club increasingly concerned over their league position.

BBC

The Bluebirds are one point above the relegation places in 21st following Tuesday's 2-1 defeat by fellow strugglers Luton Town, with the team booed off the pitch after the final whistle.
Luton's triumph mean Cardiff have suffered three successive league losses, while they have managed only four wins from the past 24 matches.

BBC Sport Wales understands Cardiff's hierarchy are aware of supporter unease at the club's current situation, with nine games left this season for Riza's team to turn their form around.

Riza has been in charge of Cardiff since replacing Erol Bulut on a temporary basis in September before being given a deal until the end of the season in December.

The 45-year-old enjoyed an excellent start to his tenure, winning four of his first seven games.
But the former Watford coach has only picked up four more victories in his next 24 matches.

Riza brushed off the boos on Tuesday, saying it was his job to take such criticism, but also warned his players he would be making changes in their fight to avoid dropping into League One.

Definitely interesting timing. They normally get wind of things like this from the club before others in the media do.

Going by this, maybe there will be some sort of news tomorrow.

As Ned says, the Beeb usually get firm news from the club before any other outlet, we've seen it before when something is "mooted" as a teaser but the decision is a done deal and then gets confirmed soon after. Reading between the lines, I personally think it has after Luton and especially after last night's results where we are now reliant on the performances of other teams around the arse end of the table.

If that is the case - We could have 3 Managers in a season again
