And fail it has.

'Lucky red' has proved every bit as nonsensical as many thought it would. There have been no material or financial benefits to the club because of the changes, either here or in the Far East. On the contrary, it is rumoured they've lost out enormously on merchandise sales, as any self respecting City fan won't touch the red gear with a disinfected barge pole. More importantly the rebrand has driven a wedge between supporters that will take years to heal.
Lots of Cardiff fans won't feel it at the moment but in the long term this relegation may prove a blessing, especially if one finds the club's identity and a unified fanbase of more importance than temporary form on the football pitch. That said, I think things may well get a whole lot worse on the playing side before they get better.
So what happens next?
My personal hope is that Vincent Tan cuts his losses and sells up at the earliest possible opportunity. Unfortunately, the likelihood of the Malaysian businessman taking a large financial hit and severing all ties with the South Wales club in a clean manner seem fanciful. Likewise, it's difficult to imagine a queue of potential suitors for the relegated debt ridden club.
The more realistic scenarios, in my opinion, will either see Tan use the premier league parachute money to attempt to build a side capable of challenging for promotion or he'll tire of his failed project, strip the club of its saleable assets (the players), pocket the parachute money and make his exit that way.
Whatever happens, it's my belief that there will never be stability, let alone success at Cardiff City, as long as the club play in the 'wrong' colour and with Tan in control.
Something has got to give and its future direction will become clearer in the coming months.
