It just makes no Sense..

....that Cardiff Got promoted as Championship winners, Yet we are probably almost definitely crashing back down to Championship reality with a big bang. We built castles in the sky.

O and please don't say "It's Tans fault..blah blah blah...cos it ain't. He got us up to top flight with his investment and put far bigger chest in than Palace or Hull who were already supposed to be the weaker team!

Even Hull and Crystal palace are doing much better than us. They were the 2 favorites to go straight back down.

It makes no sense

We fucked about too much after we got promoted. We're a huge mess on and off the field and we deserve to go down to be honest.

did you watch us last year?
was built on work rate,the football itself was dog shit...............this is the best league in the world and we had a manager that believes if everyone makes an extra tackle and runs an extra kilometre you can bridge the gap.....i didnt hear anyone say last year that this side { last years team } would be ok.......the exact opposite, we need at least 7..or 8..or a whole new team........i kept hearing this over and over...im puzzled as to what everyone now thinks we played like last season....it really wasnt good football or pleasant on the eye.......it was quite simply dig deep and grind out a result...

I agree with you on this one, Jon :thumbup:

I remember being surprised at our lack of progress on the "new signings" front until late into the transfer window. That was even more baffling when we had a couple of weeks head start on Hull Tigers and a month or so on Palace!

I'm not particularly pointing fingers, as I believe it is an amalgam of problems/issues that have brought us to where we are right now

However, we cannot blame Tan for lack of investment in the squad last summer and although his handling of the "Malky saga" won't have helped (possibly giving the squad an excuse to feel sorry for themselves over the Christmas period) the 'issue' must surely lie with the quality of the assembled squad and/or the people who assembled it?

A wonderful opportunity (to establish ourselves in the Premier League) wasted and made all the more galling by the two Championship 'also-rans' doing so well and staying up (all credit to them; and Welshman Tony Pulis in particular)

Jon, Totally agree.

Lets hope next season is a brand new start and more common sense prevails. :thumbup:

Sums it up. Tan meddled, Mackay mis-spent, the players under-performed and the replacement manager had no solution.
