Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The accounts (created a while back) also mention Cardiff are targeting automatic promotion this season. Also interesting to note the majority of the loans are short term and at least some have an interest rate of 8%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Portsmouth? Cardiff will sink back to their natural level along with Blackpool and Wigan, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Saying they'll continue "as long as the business develops as planned" wouldn't exactly fill me with confidence if I was a Cardiff fan. To think they were willing to give up their very identity for a shot at the Prem, and look where it's got them. The only thing I don't understand is how the parachute payments factor in.

Also, what plan are they following that has you making a loss the first time you hit a decent turnover? What has developed exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has developed exactly? Very good point! Their attendances are currently publicised as around 19-20k but I've heard from more than one Cardiff supporter that there's no way there's more than 12-13k going. I know attendances are only one factor in income, but it doesn't exactly suggest a club heading in the right direction does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 A complete mess and let's face it Tan could (and probably will) pull the plug at any point and leave them in a massive lurch. I loved the ambiguous wording about the continued investment, brilliant. Couldn't happen to a nicer club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfred Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Portsmouth? Cardiff will sink back to their natural level along with Blackpool and Wigan, I hope. They'll never be another Portsmouth while Tan is at the helm and his personal liability is too high for him to let it sink. What we can hang on to us Tan's insistence that Russell Slade is the right man to take them forward which will probable see your latter point occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule The Waves Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Having worked over there for a while I have a lot of "friends" who support CCFC - the amount of times I tried telling them that that all Tan was doing was the same thing Sam Hamman did, I cannot remember.

Could explain why they are doing a fairly substantial cut in season ticket prices for the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Disagree with much of the above post, to be quote honest. They are 18 points from the play offs and 10 for the relegation zone and I don't think their club has the type of squad that just needs tweaks to compete with the better teams in that league now, let alone the Ex-Prem sides next season. And Slade is a band aid on a team needing reconstructive surgery; he's taking them nowhere near where Tan will expect - i.e. Premier League football. This sort of news isn't something that they can simply take lightly; it is indicative of deep, deep problems there. Were I unfortunate enough to be a 'Bluebird' then I'd be massively concerned by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Can they not ask the Welsh assembly to bail them out? After all, most things in Cardiff are funded by the English taxpayer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we can hang on to us Tan's insistence that Russell Slade is the right man to take them forward which will probable see your latter point occur Yes but your first paragraph implies - and indeed depends upon - Tan having an actual understanding of what he is doing... If he has more than three brain cells behind those shades of his, he'll know by now that he's played his game, his time is up and his best course of action is to find a way out of there whilst retrieving as much of his cash as he possibly can in the process. That simply isn't going to happen by throwing any more money at it. When your stock is falling, you don't buy more stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
