“ EROL BULUT IS NOT HAPPY WITH CARDIFF CITY BOARD “

I'm asking you? I thought FFP was all about spending less than income so if less go so less ticket money will lead to less to spend. Might be way off here that's why I'm asking you mate.

I'm not sure mate, maybe someone else could answer that.

Ffp is about not having certain amount losses over a period of 3 seasons ... Everton losses were 120m when it needed to be 105m or less.... efl is a different amount.

Diolch.

The figures are I think £33m over a 3 year period. So basically £11m per season.

Can we now start discussing protests and banners at home games?? Things are never going to change under Tan. Yes we’ve been lucky this season with manager and players but I do believe that’s more down to Dalman than the clown.

We can protest during matches, worked with we’ll always be blue, players won’t feel we’re getting on their back if it’s aimed at the board, players will always get plenty of support from our fans.

Yes let's protest because we ain't spent 20 million quid on new players and if we did people will still slag off the club even if we told there's no money or have to follow ffp rules.

Anything other than millions of quid players and a top two finish irrelevant of what's on the pitch starting. If this don't work let's protest .

Jesus wept I've never seen such silly posts on here the last few days after losing to a side that are leaps and bounds above us as a club and squad quality.

Todays Football fans have gone barking mad with their unrealistic demands. If all else fails sack the manager as some said on here the last 24 hours and the next manager will come in and work with a team of freebies so it repeats

This isn't about losing the last 2 games in an embarrassing fashion. This is about years of neglect and lack of ambition. The transfers or lack of and financial talk have simply raised the issue again. I don't want to sack the manager, I just want honest and transparent feedback from the board. They either want to succeed or stay afloat to sell. We as Fans deserve the truth and a long term plan, not constant smoke and mirrors. If the bullshit continues, then we have no other option other than to demand the truth or action will be taken. The board need to be held accountable for their actions. I don't know how we can hold them accountable, I'm not a lawyer, but holding meetings and taking minutes, doesn't hold the board accountable. Difficult when we are fighting the board who hold all the strings. Change is needed and I will continue to raise this until change happens. We will never bring back the feel good factor of Ninian Park and beating QPR in the playoff final 'what a day that was'. A good vibe around the club is needed and the current situation doesn't give me and many others that feeling.

The thing is untill somebody comes in with deep pockets nothing will change. We will always have manager out talk or owner out talk despite having a squad that will not progress up the table. It's a vicious circle tbh. Fans will never be happy unless we are winning every week and things are good. Although atm the football is honking and the desire to chase the ball has well gone somehow.

Ok bit of positivity. I know there's been several posts about why bother this season as the championship is sewn up.

For me I think Leicester and Southampton will go up automatic leaving Leeds, Ipswich, probably West Brom and one other in the playoffs.

With the team we had yesterday we have no chance, let's be honest but by playoff time....

That team could have O'Dowda and Ramsey back in it.

If and it's a big if atm, we get Moore and two quality midfielders in, then the team in March/April will look a lot different to it does now and possibly much more competitive.

Remember, with that sort of team we were minutes away from beating Leeds on opening day, two nil up against Ipswich and are West Brom really that good... You never know...

Plenty of pessimistic thoughts since yesterday.

I'd be surprised if Tan and the board wanted to extend the manager's contract after performances in recent weeks.

As a result, I can't see him hanging around too long especially if he is severely restricted with a transfer budget.
In addition, uncertainty of the manager's long term position in addition with the current climate at the club may lead to difficulty attracting some quality to the team. By this, I don't mean any Tom, Dick or Harry that we may end up bringing in, but I mean quality to greatly improve performances.

By the way, a belated 'Happy New Year' everyone!

Get into playoffs then it's a lottery.

All this chat about the board not backing Bulut and he's doing as much as he can with a League 1 squad etc. Our wages are the sixth highest in the championship. We don't want to continue paying over the odds for players. As it stands, we're 3 points off the play offs and it's clear there's movement going on. If some are going out, then some will come in. They may not be the players we expect though. Things have to happen higher up the chain before it filters down to the club's below.

It's still a bit shite but we are much better off than we were this time last season at the end of the day. We should offer Bulut a 2 year contract, try and bring in a few new faces this Jan but be sensible about it due to the competition this season. Leicester, Southampton and Leeds squads are on a different level to everyone eles, Ipswich are punching above we can compete with the rest. Its been a improvement and I'll take that after last seasons horror.
