Agree Bluey, I think Slade overachieved but may struggle further next season with a further reduced budget. At least you're realistic about how this season went and the future, unlike some of the idiots on the phone in,....think youth is the way forward for you unless things change with Tan. Things aren't great down here too, we've got our own issues to address this close season.
I disagree. The budget may or may not be reduced depending upon players leaving in summer. We may well be ok from a FFP perspective. have some wiggle room in the wage bill to bring others in.
It's not an issue with Tan. It's an issue with FFP. Tan isn't going to splash the cash anymore. He's not going to overly spend due to FFP as a consequence. There's nothing to stop us going the youth / free route - someone like Immers is out of contract this year.
Well I love having a laugh at Cardiffs expense. Love it. And I laughed when I saw the score earlier.
But on balance, I'd miles prefer Cardiff to be in the Premier League than Sheffield Weds or Derby or whoever. At the end of the day, I like people supporting Cardiff - just 45 miles up the road, and most, like us, started supporting them when they were utter crap. Better that than the Welsh supporters of Liverpool, or Man Utd or Leeds.
I think next season will be a nightmare in the championship as well. But Slade has done a cracking job given the circumstances. Feel a bit bad for you bluey - don't get me wrong, not that bad, but a bit bad.

Eh, not convinced as yet that next season will be a nightmare. If the core remains the same ( Moore in for Marshall; Manga and Marshall sold ) then we know the core of the squad is mid-tablish. The key is we need a goalscorer - which will be an issue given we'll not be spending big and everyone wants a goalscorer.
We can't continue with the top scorer being Pilkington - to his credit, his movement up front has been fairly good.

It will be interesting to see how Villa fair against Chamionship opposition. If I was a betting man I'd say that whoever goes down out of Norwich, Sunderland or the Toon could expect to take up at least one of the promotion spots next year.
Strongish teams getting relegated can make for a difficult championship year, like when Newcastle and WBA walked the division.
If Cardiff could win 2 or 3 on the spin they'd have finished solidly in the playoffs this year.

I think Villa will struggle. I'd argue their squad potentially isn't even Championship standard. if they invest wisely then you'd think they should go back up, too big and all that.
Norwich you'd think may promote but you'd not peg them as runaway winners.
Sunderland and Newcastle would both depend upon keeping their current managers. if they did, they'd win the division comfortably.

I understand why people say what they do about Villa but I think they'll regroup and come back up.
I also think one of the others relegated will come back up whether that is Newcastle, Sunderland or Norwich. So that only leaves one spot and there are at least two teams who won't go up this year who seem to be significantly better that the Cardiff team.
I think next season will be incredibly difficult in the championship. Glad we won't be part of it - I've always said it's a lot easier to stay up than get up.

We know of a striker you could have. Possibly on a free or only a couple of million at most. He's a French international as well.
Your club won't even have to pay his moving costs as there'll be plenty of help available to complete the move.
Never mind missing out on the Championship play offs Bluey. After all Cardiff are definitely a team of good losers. Mind you, they should be with all the practice they've had
If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.

Problem is, most of the media and misguided idiot fans believed it was always magically a top six squad that should romp away. Which was utter bollocks.
Those fools believe a squad can and should be revamped instantly into world beaters.
Slade has had to go through turmoil for most of this season - Kenwyn was on high wages and whilst he *could* be a force on the pitch ( mostly defending set pieces ) running with pace was hardly his thing. Add in a few players going through the motions....
Slade has done a bloody good job establishing a spine. Fools who criticised his signing of O'Keefe now realise he's a ball winning midfielder, an upgrade on Gunnarsson. This squad still has hole, still has areas of improvement.
We've cut a lot of players off the wage bill this season. Financial benefits of that should be visible in future seasons. Can we get rid of others? Sure. If someone offers money for Marshall, I don't think Moore is that much of a downgrade in goals. Fabio can go regardless - fan favourite for those who ignore his poor positional play. Velikonja will be out of contract and off the books, Kiss too. Lewis can go too, Adeyemi, LeFondre, Doyle, Macheda, Dikgacoi. If we can sell Gunnarsson, if an offer comes in for Manga... we can reduce the wage bill pretty much without overly weakening the squad there.
What we need to do, starting with the final game of the season is look at the Academy / DVP players. Semi Ajayi, Oshilaja, Kennedy, Harris, O'Sullivan, John, Tutonda, Healey et al. See what we have there even if it is only depth.
What we do need is a striker capable of double figures a season minimum.

You think you can let 13 players go without weakening the squad?

Of the ones I listed, Phil, how many play?
Kiss and Velikonja have been loaned out the last two seasons. Fabio is in and out of the squad - weak positionally, his squad spot can be used by Declan John. Lewis doesn't feature at all.
Adeyemi has been loaned out to Leeds. LeFondre had chances, has been a bust. Pretty much the same for Doyle and Macheda. Dikgacoi offers nothing, has barely played. Gunnarsson isn't anything more than depth at the moment.
So we'd be losing not the much really. Manga is a decent defender; we'd have Connolly, Morrison, Turner and then DVP players - Oshilaja, Ajayi et al. Marshall would be replaced by Moore - dependent upon any fee, not that massive a dropoff. Aside from two players, those I listed as those we can get rid of this summer wouldn't weaken the squad because by and large they've not been part of the squad.

So the fact that they dont play means the squad wont get weaker?

The fact they've for the most part been farmed out and don't ever make it into the match day squad, even when we've got injuries means I'd say no, their leaving won't weaken the squad.
Next season is surely shit or bust? Don't go up and parachutes stop and every single team coming down after that will have massive parachutes from the new deal. Gap will become a chasm for those not at the trough.

you totally ignore the fact that even more cuts will be necessary to break even as your parachute payments drop by another 10 million this year. I agree that Slade has done an excellent job in the circumstances but it wont just be Marshall going. Manga will go so will Fabio and probably Morrison and Pilkington as well due to high wages and to try and get some transfer fees. Anyone coming in to replace them will be on low transfer fees and wages. Be interesting to see what striker you will be able to get.

How have I "ignored the fact" when I've listed a number of players all on high wages!
I've said Manga will probably go. I've said Fabio should go. Not sure the interest will be there for Morrison or that he's on the higher wages.
The players I listed will probably get us to that 10m mark or at worst make any losses within the acceptable FFP range.

A bit harsh of you calling our fans idiots Bluey, now if those fans spent good money following our club up and down the country they are surely entitled to their opinion arnT they no matter how stupid they sound. On the subject of O'Keefe, makes you wonder why he has sat on his arris for most of the season doesn't it! Yes he has been a revelation since he has come into the side but I reckon Slade waited too long to replace either O'Keefe or Diko. I thought we were poor yesterday and yes I was there.

Are you saying most of them aren't idiots? Of course people can express opinions but if it's an idiotic opinion it's still idiotic... the slagging of Slade has been ridiculous all season long.

I haven't slagged Slade off but I don't think he is the man to take us forward, do you?
Yes people have slagged him off and to be honest after yesterday's performance some might have a point, he said it was like a cup final to us, well that performance didn't suggest that to me. Ok we weren't good enough, I can take that, our last five games we haven't been good enough but if people are paying good money to go away and watch that they are entitled to say what they want.
