Is the club attractive?

Fri Jul 19, 2019 7:25 pm

Are we attractive as a club to potential players?

Just come down from the premier league,
potential to go straight back up,
great management

But

Not the capital (meaning London :lol: )
Not multi millions of pounds to spend
Media hate us :D

Do you think players are being put off at all?

Yes, because there’s more players wanting to play in Britain for numerous reasons, and the money is good. We’re also operating at a relatively high level.

Put it this way who's got better than average chance to be promoted? That's where players want to go in signing for championship club :thumbup:

I don't think the media hate us, think we have had great media coverage last season.

Yes we should be attractive as a club looking to go up.

Some players may not want to play in a warnock style team tho. If I was a striker I'd avoid that's for sure.

It's not just about whether the Club is attractive it's also about the City of Cardiff and it's a great place to live, so much going on and our city is well and truly on the map now.

Most players are simple creatures, it will come down to money.

Historically no,we always found good players hard to attract and had to pay over the odds to get them.We were a selling club.But that's all changed now as the playing staff we've had over the last 10/12 years have been the best in my time supporting the club.This club has genuine ambition now even if you disagree over who they buy and sell.I can't remember a time before now when the people that own and run the club have ambitions similar to the fans albeit a little more pragmatic.

It's always been the case that players won't come to Welsh Clubs I reckon

The only reason for that has been because we’ve all usually been f*cking shit.

Of course, we are one of the favourites to go up, will pay a fair decent wage, and Cardiff is becoming renowned as a lovely City and a great place to live, with relatively cheap housing giving footballers an amazing standard of living!

I'm not having a go at the club or Warnock, just curious.

We've all known (club included) we have needed a striker since the window opened. Was this Oxford lad top of the list? I don't know him and haven't seen him play, but probably not.

Have we just been unlucky or are players passing up the opportunity to come to us?

Good Question.

Just come down from the Premier League and have 'potential' to go straight back up but not guatrentee as it took us a good few years to return last time.

Great Management, yes but ageing, this has surely got to be Neil Warnocks last year with us. Your'e signing up to a short team project where you might not be wanted by the incoming management.

A LOT of players have also come here and bombed.

Not London, might effect some foreign targets, but the level we are at I would say not being the London has no bearing,

No multo million pounds to spend, of course thats going to effect who we can attract

Media hate us? I dont think they do.

To lower league players it seems we are but that's hardly surprising.

To Premier League youngsters or fringe players or European players (if we are even actually looking at them)it would seem not.

At the moment.
