    Not at all roof, Dai has been saying he's leaving on a number of threads, so I have said bye. Nothing to do with my mod status, if it had been I would have just banned him thereby letting my emotions take over.
    Dai is a good poster but constant posts saying he was quitting were, in my opinion, tedious.

    Edit: I have now deleted my comment.

    As an outsider may I be permitted to say that Tan looks a pretty nasty piece of work?He clearly courts controversy and enjoys confrontation.Not good characteristics for getting on with people.I seriously thought you werre going to be up there at least it the top six.I wonder what the odds are on the new manager being there at the end of the season are?

    It was the BYE comment that was upsetting.

    some very interesting comments. surely MM and OLE have to take a lot of the blame re signings they made. No wonder Mr Tan is annoyed, if I was in his shoes I would be as well, obviously he would like some sort of return on his investment. I know very little about the financial situation over your way, only what I read on here but Slade as a replacement seems madness, one good season with Orient if I remember correctly. Going by a lot of comments on here by various posters is that you guys have too many aging or slow players, I have no idea however I will believe what you fans say about your own side. Maybe a clean out is on the cards (not Jones though, he is always my goalscorer in the tipping)

    a clean out of the dead wood i can see, but slade has got to make the big money signings work.

    i agree though, its an odd appointment, i hope it works out for us though&#8230;&#8230;.<ok>

    You would be the proper original cardiff city club playing in your traditional colours with the Bluebird logo sitting proudly on the shirts and by now would have proper football people and a decent manager running the club.....that's where you would be....

    Temple - didn't you know Dai lives in Utopia now? It used to be called Swansea Town and they got it wrong twice, but we'll forget about that for the minute.......<laugh>

    No guarantee about anything Dai, and your rose tinted scenario wouldn't go amiss in a Roy of the Rovers album. Most of us here would prefer to dream about living in a story writer's ideal world, but as you've found out in the past, it doesn't always go to the script eh?

    You're OK now (more than just OK to be fair) but it wasn't always like this for you in the past - and it won't always be like it is now for us right now.

    It's worthwhile remembering that when your toward the top in this game, generally the only real direction is down. <ok>
