Debts mean F all in football.. Especially to NPC clubs.. They can keep racking up their debt on better players until they hit the PL and recieve a $50mill+ windfall.

It's like playing roullete.. Keep sticking $5 on a number, over and over again.. Everytime you lose ask your mates for another $5.. Until you win and Bam you recieve $165ish (I'm bad with numbers) which goes some way to clearing your debts and will probably make you a profit..

It's the same for a football club. In reality, Cardiff don't have a debt, they can keep spending $5mill every summer until the day they get promoted, in which they'll recieve the money to clear all the debts.

Teams like Derby County and Doncaster are the suckers, trying to spend within their means to get promoted.. Might aswell blow $30mill to get there if were then gonna recieve it all back the day the new seasons fixtures come out.

Nah, if it's £50m+ to go up, they're still in debt. Add onto that new players and higher wages, adds to the debt. They come back down, try to cut there losses and risk another relegation.

We're doing it right, as much as it frustrates us all, if we can go up without debt + the fortune of $50m+,thats a lot of profit. Maybe we come back down (like WBA) and accrue another profit. Sensible.

I know that this is the post Forest thread but just watched it again and have reached the conclusion that Gunther was pissed! He fell over twice under no pressure in and around the Swans box- then just after Ernie popped one in Gunther was in a shooting position in the box and booted it out for a throw on the far side!

They have no option other than to keep going.. If there debts are more than $50mill then how can they possibly bring this down without winning promotion? They certainly won't win promotion selling off all their good players.. They're not a big enough club to be able to make a profit in the NPC, DCFC are actually lucky that with the amount of supporters we have plus a brilliant marketing team, probably the best outside The PL, we can get anywhere near to making profits by staying in this division. Not many clubs can do this.

Cardiff need to win promotion or they're buggered. Only way they can possibly do it without spending is if they sell off all there good players, drop down a division and start all over again with youths and lower league signings, but there not a big enough club like Soton, Forest or Norwich to do this IMO. Norwich for me was a complete one off.. Leicester, Leeds and Forests momentum seems to have run out, without money they'd go backwards like Bristol City, Shef Utd and Preston.

Agreed, but i think Cardiff are to deep into it. They're just going to keep falling further and further into debt, and promotion seems a bit to far off for them now. Make or break this season. Oops, it broke.

Some credit should go to Nigel Clough for getting shut of Bywater. He remained a constant in the side despite more ridiculous displays than good ones, and his twitter antics after the Portsmouth game showed that he has a very disruptive side (which was probably evident when he kept jumping in the to camera shot after the play off final). To replace him we've got what looks like the best GK we've had since Poom.

Good work.
