Cardiff City - about two or three seasons ago

[No. 25]

Either 09/10 or 10/11, i don't remember exactly. They had a very strong squad, some biggish names, a few decent loan players and a manager they believed in. They went for promotion big time and missed out - they ended up losing in the play off semi final (Reading i think?), and their squad fell apart - Chopra, Bothroyd, Mccormack, Bellamy were all in the form of their lives, and ended up leaving. Their manger also went and major rebuilding was needed. I imagine their fans must have feared the worst for following season.

I wonder what ever happened to them?

I don't think Chopra, Bothroyd, McCormack and Bellamy have ever played in the same squad all together.

What happened to them? They got bought out by Malaysians and continued to spend millions on transfers and wages.

So what are you saying we might be playing in red soon

Apart from Nicky Maynard, who did they spend any big money on?

I wonder if Joe Ledley wishes he'd stayed at Cardiff City now. Their fans were annoyed when he joined Celtic - they said he bottled the chance to join a Premier League club because Ledley believed he wasn't good enough. The chance of Champions League football had nothing to do with it.
