But still a risk at this stage. If we want to add defenders, we can't gamble on L1 as we need to be looking at the Prem next season and the gap is too much. For right now it would be a risk to bring them in too and Cardiff would want decent money to risk derailing their own push for promotion. I can't see there being much in this one.
Thinking ahead though we need decent younger players if we get promotion. The current level of under 21s to the first team is huge.But still a risk at this stage.

No, Leicester have no funds at all. Struggled to pay their December salaries on time. Likely to be docked 9 points before the season ends as well as the legal battle against it draws to a close.Leicester City shit stirring after their hurtful defeat

I like the bit where it says "scouts from Coventry were present at Cardiffs win over Wigan Athletic in order to watch both Lawlor and Kpakio".Coventry City Monitor Cardiff City Standouts
Coventry City have been revealed to be actively monitoring Cardiff City duo Dylan Lawlor and Ronan Kpakio. The pair have been a key part of the Bluebirds’ defence as they charge towards the L…thedeck.news
Apart from anything, why are supporters fixated with who is a bigger club than whom?
It is weird and when it's Championship clubs its basically just a load of similar sized clubs trying to dick wave at each other. I'll never accept Bournemouth or Brentford in the Prem mind you but my head isn't gone enough to not realise the fact they are 'small' clubs doesn't mean they are absolutely ahead of us in the food chain as things stand. Outside of super clubs i doubt players give 2 shits about who is the biggest club and more who can give them the biggest pay packet.Apart from anything, why are supporters fixated with who is a bigger club than whom?
The Leicester lot were doing it on their board, and it happens everywhere. But if you support a club like Cardiff or Leicester (or Coventry) you're hardly doing so because of their mighty stature in the game.
If you give a toss about that, fuck off and support Real Madrid.
Would like to know what that’s based on?
Brentford and Bournemouth are still objectively tiny clubs though. Would be interesting to see one of them get to Wembley these days - would they even sell out their allocation?It is weird and when it's Championship clubs its basically just a load of similar sized clubs trying to dick wave at each other.

I agree but I think Brighton have grown. They’re filling their stadium. I don’t feel like Bournemouth have grown much. I think I’m talking more about attendance and general fan base.Brentford and Bournemouth are still objectively tiny clubs though.

Probably wishful thinking but who is this on the clubs recent Instagram post... (Probably Esse)

That is the capacity of their stadium...I just googled average home attendances for Bournemouth AFC and was staggered to discover that it seems to be around only 11,500. Surely that's not correct and can't sustain a premier league team?
Wow - how are they surviving?That is the capacity of their stadium...
Yes, he's got those new brain boosting Nike shoes on too
PL clubs are significantly less impacted by ticket revenue than teams lower down the food chain.I just googled average home attendances for Bournemouth AFC and was staggered to discover that it seems to be around only 11,500. Surely that's not correct and can't sustain a premier league team?
They are rebuilding the ground with a capacity of around 20 kThat is the capacity of their stadium...
Matchday revenues only make up ~15% of the average PL club's overall. Broadcast and sponsorships are much bigger.Wow - how are they surviving?
A whole 20k? Seems like not enough to me, but hey hoThey are rebuilding the ground with a capacity of around 20 k

11,500 is bigger than the stadium capacity ! Dean Court obviously its tv revenue that sustains a premier lesgue teamI just googled average home attendances for Bournemouth AFC and was staggered to discover that it seems to be around only 11,500.

Plus good player recruitment that they sell on for huge profits like the center back they bought for £11 million and then sold to Real Madrid for £50 million at the start of the season ( Seymano too)11,500 is bigger than the stadium capacity !

Rich man owns the club. Chelsea had crowds of less than 10k during the 1980’s.I just googled average home attendances for Bournemouth AFC and was staggered to discover that it seems to be around only 11,500. Surely that's not correct and can't sustain a premier league team?
Look at Villarreal, (town of 50 k,) ground capacity 23k regularly play in European football , buy good players sell on for a huge profit and have made a profit each season for the last 5 seasons .Rich man owns the club. Chelsea had crowds of less than 10k during the 1980’s.
I guess they arent selling away tops for a penny thenMatchday revenues only make up ~15% of the average PL club's overall. Broadcast and sponsorships are much bigger.
