I’m not saying Cardiff shouldn’t have ambition but just because you want your team to be successful doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. Reading have been in the top flight for three seasons in recent times. So what? We too have spent a fortune on players. Again so what? Lots of clubs have spent tens of millions on players but that does not guarantee success. Just look at Bolton FFS.

The past dozen or so years have been the golden era for my club. I know Cardiff were previously in the top flight before I was born but you have never consistently been a top flight team in the past. Your recent years have been right up there with the most successful in your history. There are no guarantees though.
