Might be all on this game. Shouting for a Swansea win to keep us up. Or would Swansea consciously throw it!!!!!

If ball was in other court I'd expect my team to turn up and give 100 percent and win. If they lost and the jacks got relegated I wouldn't lose any sleep.

Probably not as crazy a notion as it may sound. Especially with Monk at the helm.

It is probably a benefit to us that you go back down and the longer we are in the prem on our own the biggernour fanbase will grow with the youth. If it is a choice of 14th and you go down or 13th and we both stay up. The piwers that be may decide the 750k sacrifice of a league position may indeed be of less value to your relegation.

Just playing devils advocate.

I agree with you. Monk hates cardiff. Your board hates us. I could see you throwing game.

Its not really. Our club is run by fans in the main. If we are safe anyway then I could definitely see it being an option. Not to throw the game as such, but certainly play a weakened side.

Your relegation could really help fill the extensions to the stadium the board are paying a lot of money for.

I'd say that was very small minded of them. I'd be amazed about it.

Id say its the opposite of small mindedness. To be the only premier league club in a hundred odd miles is very important and thinking big. If we have the chance to make that happen then its definately a viable option.
