We should use Cardiff (and others) as an example to any investors on what can be done, we have I would say a bigger support and more of a history, there is no reason why if we get some success the fans will return - this season JPT game v Crewe is an example of this, we need to be talking to clubs like Cardiff, Swansea, Southampton, Reading ect...these teams have all been on their knees financially - and I would like to say well done to the Gunner and Turner on their success, enjoy it lads. :claping hands:
Are you not forgetting Cardiff repeatedly overspent to get to the premiership?
Cardiff recorded debts of 13.5million last year, taking their total debt to just over 83 million. Not sure that a season of premiership football will wipe that slate clean....
they would clear £60 million even if they get relegated after year 1 - if i'm honest I didn't know they owed that much, thats a lot of money! but again there are other teams that have done it with less debt...as mentioned. I take your point and if your figures are correct I wouldn't want us to go that much in debt, but to get to the Prem we would have to accrue some debt? having manageable debt is the foundation of most if not all big business, and football is big business these days, the key word here is manageable.

No we certainly should not. They were a proper club but now have had their soul ripped out, the most clear example of the commercial sanitisation of football. I'd rather be in League 2 than "Do a Cardiff"
Agreed...been done by us of course in the past.Changing the badge and kit colour is hardly 'ripping the soul' out of a club. It's been done many times by many clubs.
I personally wouldn't have a problem with it.

I agree, but the Swansea way requires patience from fans, they hit rock bottom, nearly fell out of the football league and it's taken over a decade to get where they are now.
so were 75% of the way there
just to be totally biase and bitter what the F*** are Swansea and Cardiff doing in the ENGLISH Premier League anyway ??????????? :thinking about:
