Someone on the radio yesterday said that if we go in to administration this season that the points deduction will take place at the start of next season.

So we could go up and start the season on minus 9

or we don't go up and start next season on minus 10

:eek:

March 25th was the cut off. Brought in to stop things like Barnet, I think, who pulled the plug at half time on last day of season when losing, so relegated anyway!! I think tho they would change the rules rapidly if we went into admin after getting a place in play-offs. If we make play-offs tho, I'll guarntee they find the moany for tax man from somewhere, like tha back of Ridders sofa!
 
I was thinking today, if we had been offered 4th palce at the start of the season is there anyone here who would not have walked over hot coals to grab it with both hands?

If not, and if we actaully make 4th place, do you think that DJ and Ridders have in hindsight received abit of a hard time?
 
I think DJ has certainly taken far too much flak this year. Some City fans have very short memories and wild ideas about our realistic prospects.

It was Boston and they got kicked down two leagues on top of the one they were already relegated, much to the pleasure of everyone who hated the cheating sods for the dishonest way they got into the League in the first place

Knew it was someone beginning with B!
 
Oh, and a quick 'respect' to the Palace staff yesterday. They were friendly and polite. To be honest, it felt like an old Division Three game, and was all the better for it - loads of room, everyone standing, everyone singing, some decent banter and no stroppy stewards in your face.
 
:facepalm:

it makes a change from the americans not knowing wales exists, but the one time they decide to mention us ... it aint us !









or is it? :hmm:
 
I wasn't in work on friday or over the weekend so handed over my works phone to my boss. Evidently Clint sent me a text about the result.

Clint, please,please, please tell me it wasn't anything to do with seeing RaverDrew's cock as I may have some explainning to do!!!

Leicester tonight; i don't know what to think.
Why is McCormack not playing?

The rumour is that he has been pre-signed by Rangers.




I'm kidding. Dunno why he didn't start last match.

I'm hoping that DJ is rotating his strikers and we'll see him tonight.

However, it could be that he thinks with our target man out (Bothroyd) that Chopra is the stronger option.

I'd like to see him start tonight, offers more to the team I think.
 
Funny thing is last season I could smell the Prem, this season we are in a better position in some ways and I haven't even had a slight wiff!

Not getting your hopes up after last seasons piss take?

I feel we'll remain in the playoff positions, and after that who knows? We're getting people back from injury and picking up form at just the right time I thinks.

I also think Chopra is due a fair few goals the inconsistent berk.
 
I think most Cardiff fans really don't know how lucky we are or what an amazing job Jones has done. We've bought fuck all players and we're fourth in the Championship - with a game in hand!

Even if we don't go up, it'll still add up to one of the best seasons in a quarter of a century.

Its has been luck. Pure luck. By rights we shouldn't be where we are now. We should have bought players in Jan and been using them to make choices.

Jones hasn't had much of a manager's job to do. i.e. manage a squad with selections and purchases.

Most of the team has pretty much picked itself by who was injured and who wasn't.

We are just lucky he bought a gem at the start of the season in Burke. A risk he probably wouldn't have taken had we any cash to spend.

But please please lets us carry on riding that luck.

I think that is very unfair on Jones. Are you one of those who thinks its his fault if we lose, but when we win "It was the players that won it"?

Indeed. Why else would the mighty Celtic be supposedly expressing interest if he was just bumbling along?

A lot of the skill of a good manager is motivating players - and with the depleted state of our squad, he's had to do a lot of motivating.
 
I'm going down the city tonight and I am so excited. I used to have a season ticket but don't anymore and haven't been since being in the new stadium for various different reasons. My lodger is treating me to a ticket and I just wanted to share my joy. Blooooobirds!
 
Someone made an interesting point on the ccmb boards.

If we make the play-offs and go into admin do we still go into po's if we only scraped in?

If we make play-offs by 11 points do we lose points this season, still make play-offs and start afresh next season with no deduction in whatever league we are in?

If we do not face a point drop this season and get promoted do we only get a 9 point deduction in Prem?

If we qualify by 11 points and finish 4th I can see teams wanting us to lose the points this season as it will have an influence on where we play the first leg, but if we then got promoted anyway it would mean we hadn't suffered at all as a result of admin.

Safe. :cool:

I think Jones has done a good job with limited resources throughout his five year reign at the club. He has done an amazing job this season and yet a significant proportion of our fans can't stand him. I know City fans are a fickle lot but there has to be a reason for this.

I rarely listen to his interviews as he often just pisses me off.

I don't know. You'd think that a manager who has achieved as much as he has, with such a limited budget, would be a universally popular. The fact that he isn't speaks volumes.

At times he has fostered an, "us v them", attitude between the team and the fans, especially when the City team were intimidated more by the Ninian Park crowd than the away team. He hasn't made things easy for himself.
