For all his benevolence during his tenure which has essentially kept us afloat, Vince Tan and his appointed top management tier have displayed all the hallmarks of how not to run a football club. Every club makes poor decisions on times, but CCFC supporters have witnessed far too many dreadfull high level management gafs regarding team management and player acquisition. The balance has been wrong, the structure has been wrong, and the current owner is using money to keep the club afloat rather than making it successful. Before anyone says he took us to the Prem twice, it's fair to say he also got us relegated twice as well - with the addition of a third time that has put us in League One. I've no idea if the Bale fronted bid for the club is the right way forward, but something needs to change.
I'll see if I can by the link, but I read that Cardiff were regarded as the worst run club in the top 4 divisions. As the old saying goes, if you can't change the people, change the people. Unfortunately, one man holds that decision.
Been out of touch a bit recently, but I see Hull City have been handed a 3 window transfer embargo. I suppose their attempt to buy O'Dowda is consequently off?
Rumours abound that O’Dowda is off! https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/top-cardiff-city-star-set-31991180
There are others I'd rather leave ahead of him. We're going to be light on leaders on and off the pitch.

Like most on here I hoped he would stay. I don't know what sort of money he was on but probably one of the bigger earners. Leaves a big gap offensively and as a left back. If we lose anymore of our experienced, we'll regarded players there will be big holes to fill and not much time to do it. All the young signings mentioned in the article appear most likely to be under 21 players.
Every picture tells a story. It shows the size of task BBM has, not only to rebuild the squad but also to get us competitive or better in Div. 1. I suppose our longest serving continuous first team player is Ng, with 5 seasons. A great lack of continuity and senior players with the skills to inspire, motivate, encourage and give bollockings where needed.
