Most clubs taking advantage of new PSR rules but we are doing opposite at deprement of the team?


This season was glorious chance to get in top 8 with a bit of investment!


If we go down again all the work done by bbm will be washed down the pan as we'll lose all good youngsters best players and left with massive rebuilding without i suspect bbm...


Tan must know his times up he cant be that delusional to think no investment will give us a chance of promotion when will more likely give us relegation? ..

I know annis by all logic he would sell at best price he can get to save his losses? He's never going to stop club losing money day too day no matter how much he cuts costs? Only way clubs make profit (and there is very few ) is by selling assets who are worth £10m+ i had great hope of double promotion since last season but that required investing to boost good squad what we've done falls well short of boosting squad we had? but now its more looking like relegation struggle.....

The board have again killed any hope we had of a good season ahead after wrexham and Sheffield games i was buzzing now I feel so deflated after no new recruits,
the board once again are not interested in what the fans think i hate there lack of interest in cardiff city it's all about money to them they don' t get a lump in the throat or an ache in the heart winning or loosing they are not effected like us fans .

Yes monty my enthusiasm as gained since end of window! As you know I've long held belief we could get double promotion and that was realistic if we got several good plsye in the window but in reality we got just an extra two good players. Nowhere near enough considering didn't address striker problem? Now you've got to fear for season and relegation this time will be disastrous for us because simply got no more rabbits to pull out of the hat.... the big question now is where do we go from here? Freebies but that looks unlikely January hardly likely either so that leaves this squad plus 17/18yr old students from academy to fill in......monty I hope i don't get like previously dread going to ccs because expect to lose not win! ;)

Allan it's,all well and good saying support the boys which we do,
but they are from above doing nothing to help us,
why would you want a club you owned to be shit and have no hope for the club and fans.
Ijust wish the w.nker would sell up and bugger off let someone else have the club,
swansea and wrexham are laughing there heads off at us so bloody annoying,
and the last thing we want to do is forget what the board are doing to thus club they should be hounded out for doing this to us even lincoln signed 7 players ffs.

We have the 2nd cheapest squad in the league

How much more cost cutting can we possibly do

I'd imagine robbo and Chambers are on high wages but I don't see how those 2 contracts are stopping us from bringing more players in

I bet even if we got them off the books we would still be looking in other areas to cut costs

Tan just doesn't have any ambition or care for this club anymore it's all about saving money

He should sell up and let someone else come in who can actually help this club become more self sustainable rather than just strip the club down to its bare bones

Are there any rumours around as to why he chose not to sell on three occasions?

Would be good to know what constitutes a stumbling block for Tan after agreeing a sale.

The obvious one would be he renaged on the asking price, but is there anything more to it than just value?

That's not a true valuation because we have academy players like Lawlor and Colwill who aren't showing their true value.

Well the last time ( summer 25 after relegation) the Monaco bullsh*tter Dalman convinced him to change his mind at the last minute.

Dalman is gaining a lot of money on the interest that we owe him did he tell tan not to sell last year.

If Tan is losing money on this little venture, he needs to look at WHO is making money.

He needs to bring in an outside consultant to take a look at the club and make recommendations.

I can save him the money though...... stop listening to Dalman and Choo, that's where the block seems to be concerning any sale.
