If swansea got relegated . 15 million £ surplus from last season Player sell off for players like Bony , Michu , Shelvey and such will bring a bundle of cash . Parachute payments and a good Championship team ready for battle. No debt . If Cardiff get relegated . YIKES ! An owner that will fight for Cardiff's parachute payments for his repayment. A team in the red .
Not for laughs just the facts. If we go down and if they go down is all. I feel almost badly for theyre implications , they are so varied its hard to tell what will happen to them.
We came up our first season , with no debt , spent minimal and stayed up . Cardiff came up theyre first season, riddled in debt , spent not bad and are on the verge of dropping. Pays to be humble and practical no matter if you stay up or not . Look at Southhampton ,27 million short on transfer fees this season , better to do well within your means no matter how well you play .
We're probably in a better situation if we go down than cardiff but what an opportunity missed to build the club sustainability at this level, it'll be like taking three steps forward and 2 back ,we've a good squad of players who are with us for varying reasons ,looking at the side who gave us promotion how many are left ? 5 which means we've improved squad wise but who will remain if we go down ? this means we'll have to start again with a new manager & new players ? .Parachute payments are fine but no guarantee of success in returning to the PL .We have spent the money wisely in building for the future with both Fairwood and Landore and for that the Board should be commended because if we drop down for a couple of years it'll be important to see more locally developed players being utilised and with the facilities now available and a revamp of the coaching staff this will make it easier to attractive youngsters to the club
Cardiff Ramsey--Sold to Arsenal , when the Bluebirds needed money , for 5 million £ and is an important link to the Gunners attack. Swansea Allen--Sold to Liverpool, when we had money coming out our ears, for 15 million £ and plays a part role with the Reds. Speaks volumes about the patience levels within the clubs . It takes money , to not need money .
