UPDATED " Absolutely Awful at CCFC Tonight "

There is just no buzz around the place at the moment we can blame Slade all we want but ultimately its down to Tan.

No it's down to the fans can't be arsed to sing

What is there sing about? apart from a couple of players.

A die hard fan GOES AND SUPPORTS HIS TEAM, YES...OR...NO? Life is full of excuses. Get out into the cold...and SCREAM YOUR EFFIN HEARTS OUT FFS!!!!

If played at 3pm on Monday bank holiday then it could be considered our 'xmas game' and would have attracted a bigger crowd. Tonight was just another night match.

Club should be compensated for having to move the fixture.

apart for the last few years there was never anything to sing about but the fans did ,we were always crap when I was growing up and up untill probably the fa cup final season it didn't matter what was served up on the pitch the fans still sang their hearts out

Agreed and until it all started going wrong when we got relegated and with the all the shit that happened with the rebrand and appointing Slade and showing no ambition other than just to stay in the championship on the cheap and made well the glory fans leave and some the die hard fans leave and right now looking like a club with no direction and the fans now don't know what to think but negatives and it won't change until Tan goes or tries to show at least some ambition for the club.

Whether it was 11, 12 or 13,000 there was definitely not 15,000 in that stadium.

Ned 100% def No where near 15,000 in the stadium tonight.

I weren't there as I was on the piss in town. I got a ticket for Saturday though, see you all then.

We seem to be on the long slide downwards, it's worryingly similar to Bolton, Coventry and Pompey... It's hard to see even we were promoted how City would do anything other than be immediately relegated... I'm not even sure the numbers would knock up to capacity again for that... I think Mr Tann killed the Goalden Goose... It seems like he didn't know what the consequences of his actions would be on his investment... He's unfortunately spoiled or even ruined the dream for everyone... If only he'd backed Malky, for goodness sake we'd just handsomely beaten the then champions Man City when the fallout became public... the stadium was full... Now the takings for each game are a million pounds down... So much for Malky's overspend, much of which was returned when the players were sold... (excepting Nicky Maynard given away among others)...
Meanwhile Malky, though not back in management YET, is touring the world sharpening his skills with sessions at Bayern Munich and the like... And the Scottish Daily Record reported recently that the way evidence against Malky was collected is being investigated by the F.A. and other authorities... Perhaps we will hear more about that in 2016...

Cardiff boss Russell Slade accused Nottingham Forest of "parking the bus" after the Bluebirds fell further off the Sky Bet Championship play-off pace with a 1-1 draw on Tuesday evening.

The visitors had led through 18-year-old Oliver Burke's ninth-minute opener - his first senior goal - but were pegged back by a deflected Aron Gunnarsson effort four minutes later.

Cardiff had over 60 per cent of possession and 17 shots to Forest's six, but they could not make it pay as they dropped six points behind the top six, much to Slade's frustration.

I've got no idea how many, exactly, were there. Three of us are glad we went though. Nothing new is happening here. Some of the old guard havpe stopped going, and younger fans are taking their place. Our current crowds are similar, (perhaps even a bit higher), than they were ten years ago in Ninian Park. Or back in the 70s, in division 2.

There is NOTHING to play for - why should ANYONE part with their HARD EARNED money just to watch that ?

They tried - but ultimately they failed - AGAIN - it is very frustrating to watch - and to pay for it

Its not supprising when the ticket office is only open up to 1pm on the day before the match. I went there at 2pm to get an extra ticket for my lad and there were several people like myself had come down to buy tickets and gone away empty handed

Complete tosh post. Really, really bad.

Some observations.

1) that's the point we haven't carried on the slide. Despite selling a lot of players to minimise the wage bill we are solidly top half pushing for the play offs.
2) we hadn't just beaten the champions. That was our 2nd game. We had just got hammered by Southampton in a match where the players looked like they clearly weren't playing for the manager. Insipid, we were found out and didn't have a plan b.
3) you are mad if you think we wouldn't sell out if we were in the premiership. We would get close if we were top of this league.
4) our stadium in the premiership had a capacity of 28k. Average price of ticket £25 to £30. Therefore there is no way the takings are down a million a week. We didn't have that to start with.
5) transfers wise. Malky signed lots of players who cost us big and we didn't get anything back for.

Miller 750k - released
Kiss 500k - will be released
Velikonja 2.5 million - will be released
Kim - 2.5 million - released
Catherine Theophile 2.5 million - will probably be released
Peter Odemwingie 2.5 million - swapped with KJ who will leave for free
Cornelius 8.5 million - 3 million back (possibly)

6) where have you seen Malky is touring the world watching coaching sessions? I think might be made up. Even if not he needs it (as Slade could do with it or any manager/coach)

Apart from the above you made lots of valid points.

I made 6. In response to your other post. I don't hate Malky. Far from it. If I ever met him (and there's a chance he might be in some car sales job soon so it's a possibility) I would shake his hand and thank him for what he did for my club.

I only try to be the voice of reason on here as I hate bullshit and there's loads knocking around when it comes to Malky.

Neil, using this as an attack on Malky is weak. We could all use the fact Tan burst into the dressing room before the Newcastle games informing the players they were not going to get their promotion bonuses. We could use the fact Tan had already disrupted the club well before the Southampton game. To say they were not playing for the manager is rubbish. Tan has upset the apple cart in the wrong way and let's be honest the club have never recovered from it.

Malky is 100% not responsible to why our ground is deserted,no soul and the club broken from top to bottom.
Even Slade can't really be blamed.

Tan 100% and his Circus, plus Nash.

Definitely. Malky is the only manager who filled the CCS in the championship.

Ian the players were clearly not playing for Malky towards the end. It's not an attack it's the truth. There are many stories where that got leaked. Sadly I hate that the players have that power but they do.

I attended but took two of my three tickets with me to give away. My son seems to have lost interest, he prefers to play the game, he doesn't see any excitement or passion in the CCS. I go through 45odd years of habit

i enjoyed the game..should have won, but at least the football is worth watching these days..not like the shit under malky

Good for him, if the times clash, it's much better that he's playing rather than watching football.

I always loved watching as I wasn't much of a player, but for him he much much prefers to play the game rather than watching it live or on TV. I guess everyone is different thank goodness

For Malky news from October, Google 'Malky Mackay vows to put dark... Daily Record'
Funny how the media don't want us to know how well loved this family man continues to be regarded by icons like Alex Ferguson... Malky with an unblemished twenty years in football until until he fell out with Mr Tan...
The financial fair play system seems to me designed to keep the bigger clubs at the top... Akin to America's franchise system, it seems Blackburns owners thought they were buying a franchise, hence their haste to sack Big Sam Allardyce when they were mid-table and hire someone for less...
The debt to Mr Tan is rising all the time, didn't it nearly double last year... So even if savings of £20 million are made, the debt to Mr Tan is increasing at a far greater rate... For Tan to get his money back, the club need to be really challenging but it seems even now he will not at this time spend the money necessary to attempt to build an entertaining goalscoring winning side. Without this I feel City will struggle more and more as the financial stranglehold kicks in.
One can only imagine what Malky had to sea with while trying to keep his previously winning teams morale up... He pretty well built the team from scratch.... He must have suffered six to eight months of unrealistic nonsense from Mr Tan before he was finally humiliated...

Malky finally got a log in.

Happy New Year to you too!
