    Kiing's contract...why such a short one?

    Why does he owe us ? He got a chance to play again........ if we had not offered someone else would have, the world of football is not a place built on great morals and principles so dont kid yourself we were the only ones in for him. As for the mud it will all be forgotten in less than 12...

    Just two defeats in the last ten games..

    to be honest I would settle with a seaon of being entertained for once ! I am wary of saying we should expect this or that but the way we have ended the season does give the club some momentum and optimism for next season. AT has set his stall out very clearly as to how he wants his team to...

    Just how good was Kieren Westwood

    Westwood is a decent goalkeeper at this level. He is a good shop stopper with a big kick. It is true that as a team we have needed him to be a good shot stopper. However if we are able to retain the ball and put the opposition on the back foot then his contribution may not need to be so...

    What should we aim for next season?

    Personally I think we should set out to aim for the top, anything else sells the supporters and team short. However......... It is expectation that has to be managed. Already you can see it some fans..... top six, promotion are all being mentioned as being where we will and should be. I...

    Andy Thorn effect has boosted Season Ticket sales

    I think the club is trying very hard to encourage renewal of season tickets and new punters. I got a phone call from the club asking if we were going to renew and if so would we like a stadium tour before we did. Went and met Frasier from the club who showed us around, was very informative...

    McSheffrey Wins Award

    accept your opinion Nonleague but still differ opinions on McSheffery :) ........ I think you will find Ben Turner shared top scorer for part of the time first third of the season though. Have to be honest I think Turner would have been best player by a mile had he stayed fit. Find it hard to...

    The Guardian - Ray Ranson / Same division but different rules for Cardiff City

    have a question...... if " Cardiff are answerable only to the League and to the FA of Wales." why are they not caught by Football League Regulation 46 that deals with third party ownership ? Bit rich slamming FAW when we didnt adopt the rules until the start of last season Plus RR already...

    City Director on threat of admin

    Am guessing recent losses are more than the £80k figure given out over a year ago. Look at the crowd average this season compared to the 2008/09 season, there has been a big drop. There wont have been massive savings in the wages because of bringing in the likes of King & Carsley and there were...

    McSheffrey Wins Award

    McSheffery has contributed, of that there is no doubt. One of our top 3 players, well not for me I would rate King, Keogh, Crainie, Westwood above him with others on a par, Clingan for example. Yes he has played well in the new formation but so has everyone else. However it is easy to forget...

    Westy, King and Gunnar

    Totally agree. Whats the point of all the financial pain if the Board then throw it out of the window for one player. To do that would also stir up unrest in the dressing room and probably lead to all sorts of problems

    The Eastwood Enigma

    sorry but I dont see his talent in finishing....... he scored 18 goals in 191 shots a conversion rate of 9.4%. The point I am really making is plenty of people say he hasnt had the goal scoring opportunities at CCFC but the shooting stats say he has but wasnt very good at it. The thing that...

    The Eastwood Enigma

    Never been a big fan of his, yes has the talent but doesnt have the application to use it. It is all very well saying that he played out of position, but tell that to Crainie who has done that often and been one of our best players. Doesnt get the chance because he played mid field out on the...

    Conor Thomas

    bottom line is that the part about agents fee is a rumour ..... no one knows the truth ...... just more juicing up of reports by the CT Similarly we were apparently 2 days from administration .......... how do they know? answer is they dont and it is yet more shoddy reporting by the CT He...

    Conor Thomas

    If the part about agents fees is correct it makes his loan to Liverpool even more incomprehensible...... They did all that for a net gain of £250k less agents fees, knowing that any sale would net nothing like his worth after agents costs....then a couple of weeks later put in millions to keep...
