A forum for all things Cardiff City

I want to say that I never would WANT us to get relegated from any league - last years drop was a painful one to accept
However, every year we were crying out for a "new start" so to speak - shift deadwood, get a decent manager - new owners etc
Now, apart from the owners we've actually been able to achieve the other two points and honestly I think it has turned out to be a very good thing for the club
When I saw the starting XI against Peterborough I was shocked and worried for the season but the academy lads have done brilliant, followed by a very good manager capable of getting the best out of players
I would also have not got rid of the likes of Ralls, Rinomhota, Daland, O'dowda, Horvath, Goutas etc because I thought that they were the ones to take us forward but perhaps they were the ones holding us back?
Anyway, onwards and upwards one season at a time
Hopefully the Cardiff we all know and love is on the up

I would have liked to seen O’Dowda stay but can’t really fault what’s happened

Yeah I said that back end of the season.
We were a flailing club. This is our chance to get some momentum.

Best thing that could happen.

Not sure relegation was a good thing, but finding the right manager is proving wonderful!

Getting right manager for championship is hard to do not sure how well he would have done with youngsters he's got.... certainly not gone unbeaten may not have been relegated but would be close... but given how well they've adapted to bbm things look rosey for this and next season if get promoted..... relegation not what we wanted but could be what was needed to reset.... get relegated and there's a buzz about the club instead of doom and gloom? Football is a funny old game isn't it?

A few on here said this was needed 2 seasons ago that we need to drop down and rid most of the team and start a fresh , and holy shit I think they were right , time will tell but what a start

Nobody ever needs relegation. It might well end up being a blessing in disguise but to say we needed it is ridiculous.
We didn't get rid of the players previously because you can't just get rid of people in football when they have a contract, unless they are paid in full & agree to go, so we could have got rid of the same players whatever league we were in this season.
