Ive enjoyed the season and the football

.... Well done BBM. Well done the players. Well done to the supporters.

All done in spite of Dictator Tan. People wonder why the man hasnt attended games. Frankly I dont care. I hope he never sets foot anywhere near Cardiff again, and quietly sells in the Summer.

Well said Jonny.

BBM said in his post match interview "you might see him soon". Hope that doesn't mean he's coming to the Vale or Northampton game.

The board (Tan) made the right decision in appointing BBM and generally backed him by not cashing in and selling our best players. Bouncing back to the Championship at the first time of asking is not always easy so actually I give credit where it is due to the board. But if Tan turns up next week I really hope it doesn't detract from these young players. They don't deserve that. I hope fans focus on their tremendous achievement. I also hope Tan now sells up and ends on a high. Someone else needs to take the club forward. There is a huge opportunity for double promotion now.

Great post. Very sensible.
They made lots of bad choices in the past, but by heck did they get this one right.

BBM Applied for the job and said he could do it with NO money and knew all our youngsters.

That’s why he got the job.

Look at all the failures we have had.

TAN OUT

No credit they took us down the board

Annis,
I agree, he made the biggest clear out in years we had to rely on the academy players stepping up as we had no choice thankfully they have stepped but it could have gone the other way,
Scanlon was he the only loan we had? Hardly s concerted effort on Tans part to gain promotion it has a been pure luck snd bbms skill i don' t think it was TAN'S knowledge of spotting a good one.

Monty,


I agree it really could have gone the other way.

But thankfully it never and BBM did a great job.

Next season is beyond a test as he will need backing???
