Can you see Cardiff catching up with Swansea?

At the moment Swansea are light years infront of us..
It pains me to say it but it's the truth.

Can you see Cardiff making a statement of there own in the next few years.

With the players they are signing and can afford 60k week plus on wages I'm sure there only going to get better.

I seriously hope we get back up this year and at least challenge.

Depends what you mean by light years and are you talking about specific areas.

Obviously out of sight on the field. Everything else can be debated in a biased way by both sides until the cows come home.

No I just mean the football side of things that's for sure.

I think we should all allow Swansea to have their moment and just concentrate on ourselves. It will be years, perhaps decades before we can match them on and off the pitch, as we are currently trying to do the honourable thing of stabilising ourselves and paying off our debt. Something Swansea failed to do.

We had our chance and we f""""d it up as we all knew we would. We ruined it like no club has ever done before
Catch up with Swansea? Not for years, in fact it’s more likely that they will get relegated first.
Its Championship survival for many years to come ( playing in Blue of course)

No Derby did when they were last in the prem finishing the season on just 11 measly points and winning just one game in the entire season.

It didn't take Swansea light years or even decades to get to where there are now from league 1. So why would it takes us that length of time when we are already in a more favourable position and a recent PL club?

How far would Bournemouth have been behind them a year ago? Was that light years too?

What's key is the right manager putting the right structure in place. Slide won't last very long so if we get the next appointment right, like we should have done with Pulis, the who knows. Chill and see what happens.

You begged, borrowed and whored yourselves out to be where us jacks are now. Spunked the lot (and more) on your single solitary season up with the big boys and, to the amusement of us all, finished bottom. Cardiff City.. honorable? Pfft, I don't think so!!

Ye just chill out guys. Everything's gonna be just cool!

Let me tell you now son. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY who is connected to your club financially is 'trying' to do the 'honourable thing'. You're at the mercy of one man, and if he pulls the plug on you, you'll be down the the shit shoot faster than that stupid digging smiley you have on here. Admin or CVA will not be an option. The day of reckoning cometh.

Let's be realistic, Swansea are light years ahead of us. They consolidated their place in the top flight and strengthened every year since playing some decent football. As can be seen from their recent signings they can now attract decent quality players. They are going upwards whilst we are in decline.

There is no longer any ambition at the club and finances seem to control the future. Finances need to be managed but realistically we have no hope whatsoever of getting back into the top flight in the near future.

Swansea is a well run club making shrewd signings and they are going from strength to strength. Unfortunately we are the opposite and the gap between the two clubs us getting bigger and bigger.

What's this obsession with "light years"?
Some people really do need something more in their lives to worry about

Agreed

This post has brought all the Jacks scuttling out from under the floorboards eh?!

Of course they're way ahead but things change quickly in football. It was only last season we were above them after winning the home derby.

So enjoy it Jacks cos it won't last forever. And scuttle back under your bins.

We were above a lot of teams at some point. The indication of where a club is - is where it finishes.

Get a life you absolute scrotum.

I do wonder where Swansea would of been ,if the points deduction penalty was in place when Swansea went into admin

They finished 10th the year after (when the deduction would have been enforced), so would be surprised if it would have made any difference.

Who knows? What I do know is that we learned by our mistakes. Can you say the same of Cardiff? Judging by the current owner, and the ridiculous amount of debt you're in I'd say not!

They could get relegated next season and we could go up. Then everything changes its as simple as that. Swansea inbred cunts so far up their own arse tho and will be in the champions league challenging for the title in a few seasons time listen to them.

f**k the jacks concentrate on us, city till i die.

You've been in administration twice haven't you? So you'd know all about begging borrowing and whoring

We've never been into administration. We were issued a cva due to piss poor management in the football league dungeons. We owed our creditors a million pounds or so, nothing like the incredible debt Cardiff have amassed trying to emulate our rise to prominence. You can blame Tan/Risdale/Hamman if you like, but I say it's the fans fault. You've always thought of yourselves as bigger and better than you are. I remember when you started spunking money you didn't have. Fowler, Sinclair, Hasselbaink signed and you all thought you'd hit the big time. That was when the debt started spiraling out of control, the fans out of a typical sense of entitlement demanded more, and the crooked chairmen duly obliged. And now here we are. The jacks living the dream, an established premier league club. Mixing it with the big boys season after season, after having learned from the mistakes of the past, and then we have Cardiff... languishing in the lower leagues. Playing unattractive hoofball, and burdened with an unbelievable level of debt. Have you learned from the mistakes of your past? Quite clearly not.

I think our club is an excellent example of how not to run a business, and that's the way it has been for quite a long time now. Swansea are an established top flight side, and I think most people would think of them as being one of the top dozen or so sides in Britain at this time. With the money available in the PL, I think the gap between us and Swansea is only going to get bigger over the next couple of years. We may as well concentrate on our own club and forget about trying to compete with Swansea, as although we may catch up with them one day, that day is a long way away right now. Unfortunately, they are way ahead of us, and I think they will comfortably be in the top 12 again next season, a league position that we can only dream about.

Not for the next 10 years I wouldn't imagine. Unless we get a very rich businessman buy us, who "does understand not to meddle in the football side of the business" then ,maybe, otherwise NO WAY

Things leahje change very quickly in football, it wasn't that long ago they almost went out of the football league.

Like the optimism but in reality you will languish in the championship for many many more years to come.Sitting there praying for us to mess up is taking it`s toll on your sanity.And i fooking loves it .

Not until we get a quality manager and backroom staff

Not for the next 10 years I wouldn't imagine. Unless we get a very rich businessman buy us, who "does understand not to meddle in the football side of the business" then ,maybe, otherwise NO WAY

And there we have it. Yet another example of the "quick fix" culture bred amongst your clubs fans. Lurching from one sugar daddy to the next, hoping and praying for bigger and better warchests as you sell up and stumble blindly from one disaster to the next. Perhaps I'm being unfair here. I sense a dawning of realisation in some of your more savvy fans, that you've been played like fiddles for the best part of 10yrs by your dubious chairmen and owners. All to the tune of £120 million(?). Perhaps the penny has finally dropped. Albeit too late.
