Who doesn't want promotion?

Thu Jun 06, 2019 8:17 am

While Vincent Tan is still the owner I do not want another promotion to the premier league.

i can't say the thought enthralls me be it with Tan or not.

Dont know why you wouldn't.

Forgetting the fact that it's what football us all about. It tops up the coffers even more, may reduce debt quicker and make us ripe to be sold.

If anyone wants Tan gone then you'd want another promotion.

Why wouldnt anyone want to get promoted? Even if we get spanked 6-0 every game and relegated again. The aim of the game is to get as high as possible, I really dont understand the lack of ambition

I want promotion. I enjoyed last season because despite it all we fought weekly which was a hell of a spirit to get behind. Why wouldn't you want to see your team playing at the highest levels possible?

The day I stop wanting us to win the League, gain promotion and play at the highest level is the day I stop going.

Bloody hell not wanting promotion is the day I stop going Also not other owner has got us into the top league in 50 odd years and we don’t see others coming forward
He has done things wrong but happy for another promotion with Tan in charge

Without Tan you may not have ever experienced 1 promotion to the premier league never mind 2.

I would not say that I would not want promotion, the promotion seasons have been absolutely great, that feeling of being on top of the table and having pride in the team is a great feeling. However there have been times this season when following a battering ( Man U, Man C, Spurs etc) i have felt totally gutted and questioning whether if i should be here, but i keep coming back for more !!!

I dont think whether it was Vincent Tan or anyone else as owner, we would still have the same issues. I will say one thing, Tan is proving to be a solid owner now he has got Red out of his head :old: :ayatollah: :bluebird:

Without Tan we could be facing relegation never mind promotion. And if didn't continue to bankroll us it could be much, much worse.

A Swansea fan in disguise. Can Not Believe That Any Cardiff Fan Would Settle To Be Outside The Top 6.

Because he has taken us as far as his budget can take us. This has been proven twice now. Let's not have it happen again.

the first time had more to do with poor purchases than the amount spent...
but by your logic the prem should consist of about 8 teams...

Must be sad only wanting success if we can have super rich owner to back it. That's not what football is about at all for me.

I can totally see where you’re coming from, but like a few boys have said we’ll be easier too sell debt free and an established premier league team, who knows what’s in store if we go up and stay up

Luckily for us your a massive attention seeking bellend and not many people think the way you do.


Who ever didn’t enjoy last season is telling lies.

When I saw the title of the thread, I thought it was a bit strange. then I saw that the forum idiot was behind it, and realised it was just par for the course.

Surely this is a fake account? Some of the stuff he posts is top quality dribble

Re: Who doesn't want promotion?

I get you Dahboy.

What's the point if there is no ambition to continue improving.

But I'd rather win games than lose them,
So if that means promotion, then cool.

You are correct and I like you want to win games, but I would like to think we also have a owner who will do everything to stay in the premier league. Unfortunately Tan is not that owner.

I'm guessing you can provide a list of mega rich businessmen who are busting a gut to throw millions of pounds into Cardiff City then. It has made a pleasant change watching a bit of top flight football after spending 50 years watching us in the lower leagues. Would have been great to stay there, but no other owner has taken us close to the top flight in half a century or more. At least Tan's money finally got us there, and what's to say he won't get us back there. Unless you are aware of someone better qualified than Tan who is prepared to make a massive investment in the club, not much point in continually having a go at the only person in my lifetime who has been prepared to throw serious cash at this club.

I don't get it..
prior to Sam coming in we had been desperate for investment enough to even make us a solid 3rd tier outfit..
i still went, still enjoyed the promotions never thought whats the point , we could well be going back down again..
now we have fans { not that I believe for 1 second dahboy is a fan } sticking their noses up at a championship promotion..you cant write it..
