Project Fear

Thu Jul 10, 2025 4:44 pm

It seems that Project Fear is in full swing this summer.


We've already heard the start:

Salech is going
Robertson is going
Robinson is going
Rubin is going
Tan will sell anyone
We won't sign any players


I'm sure there will be more to come.


Even some people saying we'll be relegated :lol: :lol:


Apart from Robertson being linked with some clubs there is no concrete evidence of any of the rest.

I even saw some people replying to the club on social media being way too analytical of a friendly game.


I just don't understand why some are so keen to talk us down.

We are second favourites to win the league so can't be in that bad a state.

Spot on, Ned, good post.

It’s quite funny really.

The same people last season were saying that we should be top 6 in the championship with the squad that we had.

Now, the same people are saying we will be relegated.

Rumours are being made up left right and centre.

Exactly.

Another thing is people praised Sunderland for playing their kids last season and said we should be doing that.

Now we do have more young players involved, they're saying we need experience too (which we actually already have).

It's true though, some people on here seem determined to drag everyone's mood down.

I want Tan to sell the club but some people's hatred of him has stopped them being able to think clearly.

1 loan deal with a youngster from Man City looks to be done after positive movement this week and will be clear when the team are back from Spain.

The other a few clubs interested and could go on until August with the potential the other one has.

Slowly the wheels are moving but credit to BBM and the board keeping the transfer rumours close to their chest.

I'd take all of those players being sold to get rid of tan.

Are they the same people though? Or different people with different views on using the youth?
Do you have any examples of this?
Because if true that is ridiculous and just bashing the club for no reason.

Alex if they are keeping transfers close to their chest how do you know about it?

Think clearly?

Right we have an owner that has taken us down with massive debts. What has he done to sort it out? Bring in a none tested manager. Any sign of new players coming in to replace these idiots who made no effort to keep us up?

Dragging peoples mood down? Sounds to me they are being realistic.

Saying we will get relegated this season is not realistic.

Making up rumours is not realistic.

People calling BBM a ‘puppet’ before he even had a week in the job is not ‘realistic’

Saying that we have no players coming in is not ‘realistic’ - there are rumours of two loan bids for Man City youngsters - or are the only rumours allowed the ones posted by the mods?

There are realistic issues at the club. That is correct.

But not everything is something to moan about.

Why are you on here?

This forum is about opinions and has been since its formation. All I'm seeing from you is whinging about peoples opinions that you do not agree with. As for your mod statement that is total bollocks what you have said there. It seems to me you are making up your own rumours to slag this forum off.

Why am I on here? Because I’m a Cardiff fan.

It’s about opinions? Yes, then why do certain people call people names for saying their own opinions. Even this morning.

Total bollocks? No it’s not. It’s been proven multiple times. It’s not only me that says it.

I’m not making any rumours up. I’m not the one posting ‘this is 100% accurate, heard it from the horses mouth, - as if. Horses mouth is VT himself. No one on here speaks to VT.

So pull the other one.

Its a forum and people will get called out for their opinions. It looks to me you are too sensitive for this.

Worcester (Ned) is one of the most respected posters on here.

You, on the other hand, should change your name to Half-BakedAlasker. I have massive respect for Ned. You, not so much.

You mention opinions, and how they should be respected, and that's right, no argument there. So respect Ned's, and others on here whose opinion differs to yours.

Come on guys, let's just calm down. The sun is out and the Phonics are in town so let's just enjoy the weekend.

There's no disrespect on this thread, just a bit of bants from Bakedalasker that has been taken way too seriously (which happens a lot on this forum). Just let it go and get a cold one from the fridge.
