Also, we only finished two places below Sheffield Wednesday last season, but is Villa's owner right when he infers that he sees Wednesday as promotion rivals, but not us?

When taken out of context it might suggest that's what the Villa owner was implying. However, I think what he was saying was ... he wasn't going to let Bennett join a rival AND have to subsidise the player's wages at that club (Sheffield Wednesday). We, on the other hand, are NOT subsidising his wages, therefore his comment didn't really apply to us.Quote:

They have since added quality such as Abdi and Fletcher and told Forrestiri he ain't going nowhere. Meanwhile we are willing to sell anything in a pair of boots.
I don't think it's unfair to suggest they are promotion rivals whilst we are not.
It's plain for all to see whilst cost cut this can only be a season of treading water, I just hope the board see it that way and don't expect us to challenge

A good point for the board (and some of the fans who post here).Quote:

Remember, it was not that long ago when there was a serious threat that Cardiff City would go into administration.
