It’s a lot longer than 10 years, this goes back to the appointment of Brian Flynn & the Jenkins-Morgan takeover

We don't over- hype ourselves and get on with it.
Cardiff fans sit back and expect it to happen.

They should be demonstrating to oust the Tan regime.
But they won't. They'll just moan.

Goes back even further than that, it goes back to the Sam Hamman regime when Cardiff fans bought into his "bigger than Barcelona" drivel
Sam couldn't pick out a good manager if his life depended on it and things have only continued that way under Tan

If Cardiff want to be a football team then a drastic reset is needed, not just on the pitch but recruitment, training and management
That sort of thing would take a couple of years to get right and Cardiff could find themselves in league 2 by that time which is why they won't risk it

Kinda the same thing happened with us at the end of our PL stay, rather than going back to roots we were reverting to percentage ball type and eventually the percentages went against us

Hammam always bought into the deluded Bassey belief that there were thousands of Cardiff fans out there who were staying away because of how disillusioned they were at how the club had been run for the previous few decades. The idea was that if an owner with serious ambition came along and showed he was serious by throwing a few million around then they would all return in massive numbers. There was one slight problem with that idea. As Blackadder would say, it was bollocks!

He spent millions, signed big name players like Fowler, Sinclair and Hasselbaink and still they were nowhere near filling Ninian Park, despite having plans to build a 60,000 capacity stadium.

It was always going to end in disaster.

They got a very lucky lifeline when a guy with even more money than sense came along, but even that went wrong.

They're a club with a deluded fanbase, and some wealthy guys who bought into that belief but, ultimately, wish they hadn't.

They went for the quick fix. A club that was built on sand foundations.

Myself, I just enjoy reading their message boards and social media comments. It's amusing to me how so few of them can work out how it all went so wrong!

I just had a sneak peek at Anus‘ Forum. Sad I know but it does give me a warm glow. It seems that their new manager is upset by the lack of support from their fans. It can only end in tears. Loving it !
