I'm afraid we had our season in the sun last year, I would think may be in another 10 years or so, but hay lower leagues are just as competitive :bluescarf:

Well, many of us (Maybe you also) grew up through the "special years" of watching the city, (late 70's - 90's) where we were far worse than a disaster, as for getting it right, we can only live in hope. :thumbup:

You call last season a 'season in the sun'? Personally, I think it was one of the WORST I've witnessed in 30 years! In fact, I'd go as far as saying the Tan years (even with promotion to the Prem) have been by far the least enjoyable in all those years.

Sick to death of Tan's meddling, sick of the red shirts and sick or us being the countries laughing stock. :x :cry:

Couldn't have put it better myself, HandyLegs - Makes my blood boil with the way he has bulldozed his RED and BADGE on us - When I think back to the early 1970's enjoying my football so much with my Dad down Ninian Park. Then growing and watching Evan's, Alston, Friday, Buchannan, etc, etc - Great Great years. Yes, we had some really dire Saturdays and midweek nights through the decades but I still always felt like I belonged with my brothers and sisters down the city.

I know that I am getting older, like us all but I just feel sick everytime I see the boys run out in Red and feel like it's not CCFC no more. The red seating is just taking the piss.

I know that I am addicted to my club and will always support them - but my get up and go - has got up and went !!! and I hate Tan for making me feel like that. :x

Blatant I'm a newbie who has only been watching City since the FA Cup final post!

This is Cardiff City, we haven't been successful since 1927, and you are wondering whether we will ever be successful again just because we've had a poor start to the season. Get a f*cking grip!

All depends how you measure success, if VT leaves and we get an owner that cares about the fans and heritage of the club then in my eyes Cardiff will be successful again as league status does not bother me much

"An owner that cares about the fans".....Any new owner would have to be a multi multi millionaire or a billionaire or close to one to buy VT out.
People of that stature have got there by being fierce and competitive in all business matters so caring would be pretty low on the priority ladder of that person I would've guessed, it would be a business venture and nothing more.
"League status doesn't bother you"....So are you happy with our position in the league atm or would you like us to be near the top of the league and a successful club?
It's a hard nosed business owner or a caring and respectful owner, rarely will you get both in one man.
At the end of the day nobody remembers losers or also rans.

Leaving us in good hands........

Starting to put a structure in place that will be good for us.

The shit or bust sugar rush hasn't been good for us. Tan is now well known throughout the football world and if he come out of this 20 ~ 30 million poorer for this, it been a learning experience.

Agreed CF64BLUE, but what VT has done here to alienate the supporters does not make business sense by a long chalk. You don't shit on your paying customers normally in business.

Dark days ahead again I fear. Worse case scenario we drop down the Divisions; Tan leaves; we go back to blue briefly then we fold. And I'm not joking.

I love that saying season in the sun, :lol: , what nonsense. Every year has got worse and worse for me personally since hammam got thrown out. Playoff failures, rebrands then last seasons disaster post November time. I tried to be arsed with it, but in all honesty I can't be. I'm sure others see it differently and have loved the last 6 years. :old:
