The whole club is badly out of its depth. The owner knows nothing about football, and both managers have been out of their depth. Even Dalman, the only sane voice on the board, can't cope at this level. Same probably goes for us fans. We really did not know what to expect. It's certainly been worse than I feared, and I'm no optimist with Cardiff City.
For the rest of the season, we might as well play as many of the Championship winners as possible. We're going down now, but at least those lads will put in a shift. They might not be good enough, but neither are the new additions.
Where do we go from here? Tan has ripped the heart out of the club, and if we're to even survive in the Championship we need to re-discover our identity and soul. Back to blue, and get a proven Championship manager in. OGS will be on his way sooner rather than later. Otherwise, we could well go straight through, like the Wolves.
As for this trip to Dubai, or whereverit is, just cancel it. No point now. Get them training on dogshit park. Never did Joe Dwyer any harm.
Relegation is part of football, and most of us have seen more than we care to remember. At least we will get more midweek games next season, price increase notwithstanding!

A treacherous owner sabotaging his own club, 2 managers out of their depth, a boardroom of puppets and amateurs.
A toxic mess that is going to end in disaster.

Today was a game that I felt we could not lose if we hope to stay in the Premier League, I wrote in my Echo column this morning that a defeat would be critical to our survival chances but we weren't just defeated, we were hammered.
I really do believe that we will be relegated now.
The owner took the decision to replace Malky and there are many fans on here who were pleased to see Malky leave but under Mackay we were always competitive, even if the style of play weren't pretty, we were never hammered and out of a game like we were today.
I have a little sympathy for Solskjaer, you cannot blame him for coming into a Premier League club who had a decent chance of survival, Ole took an opportunity that was offered to him but defensively we have gone backwards under him.
For all those who worry about where the goals are coming from, my first concern is the defensive steeliness we had a few months ago has disappeared and today it culminated in the heavy defeat.
What I find hard to take is the fact that I probably watched some of best football of the season in the first half but individual errors were punished time and time again.
I have always been considered as an optimistic person but I am being realistic when I say I think we are doomed for relegation.
I want nothing more than to be so wrong and it will be monumental if we manage somehow to stay up but nevertheless I will continue to support the team no matter what.
Somebody said to me on the way out of the stadium that " knowing City we will probably go to Spurs and win " and he may very well be right but if we are not beating the sides around us, especially at home, I cannot see how we can get out of relegation.

Of course I remember the games you quote, but for every man city / Everton / Man U there's a west ham / villa / palace. My point was that we were very often piss poor under Malky too.
Tan is many things, but we've spent a lot more than many clubs in the PL in the bottom half and he didn't choose who we bought, who plays in each game or what tactics we employ.

Love that - if you don't agree don't bother replying. Great debate tactic
We weren't in the relegation zone but we hadn't gone through the January fixtures. After the pathetic performance against the saints there was no hope we would have done any better during January under Malky.
Occasionally teams lose? You talk like we had won more than the 4 games we did under Malky
Malky came out with the statement that the £8m Cornelius wasn't ready. If I was the owner I would have stuck my nose in at that point. Shocking waste of money. And before you say it, I don't like red and hope we return to blue. In fact I believe we will at some point.

What I find hard to take is the fact that I probably watched some of best football of the season in the first half but individual errors were punished time and time again.
I have always been considered as an optimistic person but I am being realistic when I say I think we are doomed for relegation.
I want nothing more than to be so wrong and it will be monumental if we manage somehow to stay up but nevertheless I will continue to support the team no matter what.
Somebody said to me on the way out of the stadium that " knowing City we will probably go to Spurs and win " and he may very well be right but if we are not beating the sides around us, especially at home, I cannot see how we can get out of relegation.

Today was a game that I felt we could not lose if we hope to stay in the Premier League, I wrote in my Echo column this morning that a defeat would be critical to our survival chances but we weren't just defeated, we were hammered.
I really do believe that we will be relegated now.
The owner took the decision to replace Malky and there are many fans on here who were pleased to see Malky leave but under Mackay we were always competitive, even if the style of play weren't pretty, we were never hammered and out of a game like we were today.
I have a little sympathy for Solskjaer, you cannot blame him for coming into a Premier League club who had a decent chance of survival, Ole took an opportunity that was offered to him but defensively we have gone backwards under him.
For all those who worry about where the goals are coming from, my first concern is the defensive steeliness we had a few months ago has disappeared and today it culminated in the heavy defeat.

Craig we lost many times under Malky, that is there for all to see, but from a score perspective we were always in nearly every game until the final whistle.
We were battered today at home, humiliated at Swansea, defensively we have gone backwards.
