That's a real tough one to answer. We did go up under Sam but it wasn't with his money which is why at one point, we were £30 m in debt and about 15 mins from being wound up so overall, I think he did a lot of bad more than he did good. Fortune-West was a bit of a cult hero for us but spending £700k on someone like Gavin Gordon goes to show that a lot of the money was massively mis-spent. Nobody knows what would have happened without Sam but I do know we're still paying for his and Ridsdales mistakes.
I've just been told that Noones contract is up this summer, can anyone confirm/deny this

Cardiff at present would be a step up for noone! I can understand why some think it's a sideways step ATM. But a backwards step? Have a day off!!
Ah, so you're relying on some dodgy Malaysians? Hope that goes well for you!
Having been told to "f*ck off you English c*nt" on three separate occasions in your fine city in August by your class fans I'm surprised anyone want to sign for you.

Cardiff is a step up, they have a much better chance of the play-offs this season, and have experience of this division that we lack. Last year (as Mancini would say) they were ten yards ahead of us, this year it is 3 or 4 yards.
As for Nooney, he is great fun, always gives 100%, the crowd are lifted when he gets the ball, but he does the majority of his work in the middle third of the pitch, and to be effective it has to be closer to the opponents' goal IMO.
As others have said, his final ball is poor, partially due to his head being down rather than up when passing/crossing.

What is this squad winger rubbish? He has started as first choice winger for most of the season and Lua Lua is injured. Poyet has openly said it will take a significantly better offer, which I would expect to be £1m plus.

El P, you seem to think that every club is a step up, even the saints that played in front of 14000 at the dingly dell ! Cardiff and Brighton as such similar clubs. Brighton the Charity Shield in 1910, then nothing. Cardiff the FA Cup in 1921 (i think) then nothing. Both clubs massively under achieved with both having a very large fan base. Both clubs now looking to start to realise their potential. Noone will go if Cardiff offer more than Poyet values him for, but he wont if they dont.

We might not directly replace him but the money would need to purchase a player who would have at least the same impact to the team as a whole.

Noone's contract is to 2013 so no comfort for you there 
So do you think we could carry on with just 2 out and out wingers in the squad in KLL and Buckley? The form of wingers is always up and down and KLL always has an injury not far away. Therefore, if we sold noone we'd have to buy another. Not 1 dimensional in my opinion at all.

WHAT? They got in to the FA Cup final in 2008.

Cheers, i knew they won it in the 1920's as we won the Charity Shield in 1910.
Brighton got the to Cup final in 1983 but didnt win it, that is why I didnt mention the Cardiff Cup final in 2008.
DSimilar sized clubs that can both hold their own in the top flight.

As much as Noone has played well this season I would'nt mind betting that had Buckley been fit he would've been the first choice winger otherwise I really dont think we'd have spent £1m on a player just to be a bench warmer, Noone got his chance and has taken it but I really dont think he was expected to be more than a squad player this season.

Our city is no diffrent and the flack bellamy got against liverpool in the cup proves such thing.Every club and city has a minority.

That was all a bit rapey from hitony
Lol - I agree!
Hardly any subtlety in his very public and rushed attempt at grooming (and as for that "The Big End" reference? - well, far too obvious!)

Millwall got there in 2004. Any team can get a lucky run to the final.

I think it's fair to say that Cardiff IS a step upwards, but as others have said, not nearly as much as it might have been until recently.
I think the "sideways" comment is more from the club's point of view - we don't need to sell Noone for the money (I hope), and unlike Crofts/Bennett, I don't think there is an argument that we would be standing in the way of some fantastic opportunity for him by saying no.
