Saturday just shows what could happen if things go wrong we could of lost Salech for the season and if that 2 footer on Robinson had connected against a planted leg we would have been without both strikers for the whole season which could of made the difference to going up or not
Tan needs to back bbm in the next week as if we fail to up due to injuries and no back ups then that's all on the dictator and his pair of pricks

Obviously I hope we can strengthen and believe we will, purely going off what the manager has said.
Have said all window that I'd want a LB and a winger/striker. Anything else a bonus.

Backing BBM in not selling the players he wanted to keep, we have fully done that, if you ask any manager in league 1, what squad would you most like to work with there won’t be many that don’t say the Cardiff squad, sure most teams that come down sell there better players to Championship teams, this is also a different way of backing the manager that as of now is working.
Most of the players that have gone out, if BBM wanted to keep them and felt they would benefit the squad this season he would have kept them, we clearly don’t need to sell players barring a crazy offer, or we would have.
This season Tan clearly wants to use players he invested in at youth level over the years, BBM is the right man for that, I don’t see it like he is not being backed, more lucky he has that quality available at this level to work with, our bench is the envy of most manages in this league, things they can only dream of, so I don’t see him as not being backed, this season anyway.![]()
Just my view.

Do you think we need cover at left back striker and a fast winger most fan's do the question is does Tan back murphy? a third keeper is hardly pushing the boat out, murphy says if players become available but no indication apart from left back, of who or were or how many if any , I would say that Tan more than asking .Murphy if he could bring the academy's youngsters along it was more that's what you gave to play with ,was it 18 players out before the season started and another 8/9 off the wage bill now that looks more like cost cutting to me but that's my view others have different,
as I have said its very hush hush we have no indication of any player or positions incoming its all a big IF its a wait and see game same every window but let's hope we do, just to cover red cards suspensions and injuries.

I was pointing out we have the best quality in the league overall, and he was backed by us not selling key players, BBM is choosing to put the players out on loan, and depends what left back, winger or striker are available from what league at what price, and if sensible and makes sense, I am sure BBM will be backed, if the right option is available. We do need some reinforcements there if possible if that’s what you are asking.
I know everyone’s view on Tan, not his biggest fan myself, but this season the key assets we have kept, I think BBM knows what he needs, and where possible this window Tan will back that, he wants to get back to the Championship also don’t you think?

Going to Hull I think.
Can't compete with Championship clubs, especially when parent clubs want their players playing at a higher level.

Well the facts are there:
Two relegations in the last few years and he never stopped the one this league, all he had to do was put a proper manager in not Riza, but he chose Riza as he knew he never had Indians with him.
Bullshit about investment:
It’s by accident after all these years ( Nearly 16) that the youth became our real hope.
BBM actually applied fir the job himself and new the majority of our youngsters and promised Tan that he would not need New money to take us back up as our youngsters are above standard of this 3rd Division.
Tan had not even been to one match.
Tan and his family all want out / But their money bank in full is why he’s still here.
This team / squad would struggle big time in the Championship.
Players that have gone were on good wages, yes I also never rated them but it’s not BBM decision to let go, it’s the hierarchy and decisions on contracts like Etete / Evans / King etc are all down to the Hierarchy.
BBM does the day to day management and is f so ping a fantastic hand , BUT IS 100% NOT BEING BACKED FINANCIALLY.
Surely after all these years and approx 16 Managers, SURELY YOU DONT TRUST OR BELIEVE IN TAN????
I see you have not posted much or been a member long, Your entitled to your opinion, but I AM FLABAGASTED IF YOU HACE ANY BELIEF OR SUPPORT FOR TAN ???
Tan controls managers and BBM knows if he spoke out or disagreed No mater how good he is Tan would get rid.
We will be lucky to keep BBM next season
Of course Tan wants promotion, but without a penny spent of his money

Annis on the here and now, we have the best team, players he could have sold, BBM is lucky to have that at this level, so we have not sold key players, that is very important, and an investment in itself.. I know you hate Tan, but he kept the key players together this season. If he sold them different story, like I say my view… but we did a lot better than Plymouth and Luton, loving this season in fact.
Next year may well be a different story, with lack of investment, see what happens in the window, if Tan wants out that badly, seems to be unwilling to sell, at any price, and keeps the club running pays the players etc.. it does not matter what he does or does not do these days, he is hated anyway, I am just enjoying this season, we have all seen far worst who are over 35-40.
Investment is keeping key players, signing them on new contracts etc.. and the better younger ones also, we need to add a few, see what the window brings, and worst case, still the best quality players in the league.. not a bad place to be in.
