Gutted to see him leave, but I understand him wanting to play every week and not be a player who picks up his wages and is happy to sit on the bench (like some players at CCFC). He will always be my fav Cardiff city player of all time and hope he does great at Blackburn and enjoys himself. A true Cardiff City legend. Thank you Whitts.

I've said it before on here - I was really annoyed and very disappointed to see him subbed in the way he was last home game versus Newcastle. Manager let himself down big time then I'm afraid.

As for him playing for Tony Mowbray, I understand that he wants to play the game like Whitts, on the deck and to one of his players; hardly rocket science.

Being a bloke I cannot express what pleasure Whitts has given me and my own watching him - diamond of a player, one of our own.

Sad day :cry:

Honestly, in Whitts' departure, I feel that the heart of the club has gone too. Going to take some time to get over this.

Good luck to him, been a decent player for us, but his time had come to a natural end. As for a testimonial, please NO.

I think the idea behind Neil taking him off was so us Fans could give him a Standing Ovation that he so deserved, knowing that this could be his last home game for the club a True Bluebird Legend. :bluescarf: :ayatollah:

The fact is no-one really knew what was happening, for a player who has been here for 9-10 years the way it's been handled is shocking and once again embarrassing by the board and manager.

Don't think that was in Warnocks mind at all,didn't seem to acknowledge him when he came off!

I saw him today as well.
Complete legend and a top bloke. He just wants to play every week and get a 2 year contract.
I wish him all the best.

Re: PETER WHITTINGHAM FINALLY LEAVES & SENDS CITY FANS A MES

In modem day football to stay at a club 10 years is almost unheard of.
Whitts really did give his all for ccfc I've loved watching him play for us .seems like ages ago dj signed him from villa.
He will always be allowed to do what he wants in Cardiff.
Another like super kev a city legend.
Good luck to him and thanks very much for your loyalty and commitment for over 10 years.
He'll be missed.

And here's to you Peter Whittingham

Oh oh oh. Legend.

Re: PETER WHITTINGHAM FINALLY LEAVES & SENDS CITY FANS A MES

Been at the club through our most successful period in the modern era, last player to grace Ninian Park and CCS. :notworthy:

Wish he had stayed, but showed what a true professional is willing to do, (lambert :oops: ) to play every week. Glad he went to Blackburn as Brizzle would have been painful.

To me this cranks up the pressure on Warnock as this has been his biggest decision and the message is long direct football to Kenny, Ward, Mendez, our new injured full back is a big unit as well.

I would hope we don't give the 7 jersey to any Tom Dick or Harry.

Whitts is a city legend. The term legend is used too frequently these days but 100% whitts deserves this accolade. Why annis needs to mention the wages saved is beyond me. Let's remember him for the loyalty and fantastic goals that we were able to witness.

Re: PETER WHITTINGHAM FINALLY LEAVES & SENDS CITY FANS A MES

Tue Jun 13, 2017 6:05 pm

Gutted and sad to see a legend leaving our club. i guess it was going to happen at some point soon. He is still a great player and could have stayed in the championship for a couple more years but best of luck to him at Blackburn and hope he does really well!

Absolute legend and thank you Peter for so many wonderful memorys. Be weird seeing him play against us one day.

Peter Whittingham - an absolute legend. So sorry to see you go but good luck in the future. Hope you get a promotion next season.

In my top 11 in the 47 years of supporting the City.

Many of this goals worth the admission fee alone.

A credit to our club and himself. He will be missed and I don't remember saying that about many ex-players.

Whitts - THANK YOU

Re: PETER WHITTINGHAM FINALLY LEAVES & SENDS CITY FANS A MES

I have always said we will not realise his contribution on and off the pitch until he is gone.

My prediction is by december we will be crying out for a player who can play a killer pass, deliver a pinpoint corner/free kick and change a game from midfield by quality passing and slowing play down when needed.

At this point whittingham will be top of the stats table, possibly even scoring table for blackburn. He is a class above anything in that league.

Warnock has made his first big mistake with this decision imo and he will regret it within a few months.

A fantastic servant, probably the best midfielder at the city in 40 years.
Stayed loyal and only his wish to play every week , necessitated a move.
Some great goals, the one at middleborough in the cup which took us to Wembley was world class.
Best of luck next season.

Not many players receive a great ovation on their return,I guarantee everyone will be off their feet to pay tribute to one of the city greats.

Gutted. Thanks for the memories Whitts and good luck. A proper City legend and due a massive testimonial so we can wish him farewell. One of the best footballers I have been lucky enough to see week in and out for years. Not happy about this but there you go.

Just about sums up how I feel. His Newcastle exit was not the right way to go.

How about a Poll, which was the best Peter Whittingham goal ever? Plenty to chose from for sure :notworthy:
