We’d probably get hammered. I wonder who is actually running the club aside from the dynamic duo. Maybe can Vinny can sign him/her up.

I still think we will come good. There is a good team in our squad and providing we keep clear of injuries to our better players we will begin to climb the league.

There we are I have stuck my neck out

Have you heard something about getting rid of Mr. Useless Manager?

Re: Remarkable, really, that Wrexham...

Not really. Wrexham are an extremely well run club, with a clear plan, with owners who give a shit about their investment, and have put football people in the correct positions in their organisation. The rewards are paying dividends.

Cardiff City on the other hand are an absolute basket case and it’s when not if we fall out of this division under this f-ing joke of a regime. Two slippery car salesman with f-all football knowledge at the helm for an owner who lost interest years ago.

PS BULUT OUT

Yes there is definitely *some* truth in all that.

It does seem as though Wrexham's additional income streams while giving them a real position of strength in the lower leagues would be just lost in the noise in the Championship.
Their recruitment seem very much in the win-now kind of mould rather than building for the future - which is great while it is working, but all of the sudden you're left with a squad of players who can't compete at that level and no way to move them on (which we know all too well unfortunatley)
Their academy is still category 4 i believe?

When we were marching up the leagues under Sam Hammam people from outside looking in might have thought "now there's a well run club" up until the point all the money dried up, we had to sell anything that wasn't bolted down and we had a season ticket to court to see the HMRC.

Just to be clear, Wrexham do seem a lot better run than we were under hammam - the whole game has moved on in professionalism since then, but it's hard to make a comparison between the lower leagues and the championship.

A for us - clearly we have been pretty poorly run over a long period - we got promoted twice and have basically nothing to show for it. Years of having a massive financial advantage at this level due to parachute payments completely squandered now we are back with all the other teams trying to bridge the ever widening gap to the teams with the parachute money.

However there are some signs that we are starting to look to the longer term. The academy seems as productive as it has been in a long time - signings now at least give the possibility that we can make a profit. Yes the first team is in awful form at the moment, but some of the other things we are doing seem pretty sensible - I wish we had started a long time ago.

While we don't have anyone on the board with football knowledge - there is clearly someone at the club they listen to and trust who is involved in some of these things - as Bulut clearly didn'y have much to do with some of the signings we have made lately.

Doesn’t seem long ago we were in the PL and they were in the National league or below that even…..god only knows why Tan is hanging on.

They won the owner lottery to be fair.

Far from the most wealthy of owners when you start to get around the champ but they have a bloody good plan and are actually interested.

Some good points made at the end, especially around some of our transfer business, but then who the fecking hell signed Kanga?

When all is said and done we will never flourish as a football club under the 3 amigos.

Yes they did, and very lucky they are, we on the other hand could never be that lucky because we are too big and don't have their story., history

Go on their website, or watch the Disney series, and check out who is running the club. From Day One, they hired the best they could get, and it's paid dividends. Meanwhile, back at Cardiff....
