Citytillidie69 said:forget which country they are in..... the real issue is should the Premier league let a team who have a similar financial track record to Portsmouth into the league. They are run by Peter Risdale (says it all really) and had 2 winding up orders over the last 6 months... they conned the fans into stumping up season ticket money for next season on the promise that they would buy new players in the January window.... they spent that money on paying off the tax man..... I reckon they will have 9 points deducted by next Christmas...... so I say COME ON BLACKPOOL.
Ridsdale is leaving and Malaysian investors taking over

Yep they're ok, apparently a convicted rapist is a fit and proper person to be a director of a PL club.

Rather than being Welsh I'd be far more concerned about the fact that Cardiff City are a financial timebomb.

As previously posted in this thread, they have new investors and Risdale is resigning as of 31st May,.
Whether the investors are trustworthy is yet to be seen but we've been there ourselves, fortunately for us it didn't turn out like it did for pompey.

Sure that when they were in the Cup Final UEFA declared they would not qualify for Europe

Pigeonho said:I remember a game about 1992ish when Cardiff were due to play Stockport away. That game, for whatever reason, was postponed but the Cardiff fans were already in the area. We let them into our game, anyone remember that? They went into the away end. Not sure who we were playing but I remember being stood in the Kippax and all the older blokes were having good banter with the Welsh.
Thought they were due to play Huddersfield? We were playing Southampton
Ah was it Huddersfield? I just guessed at Stockport because the grounds weren't that too far away. It was mad that though, me and are kid were like, 'what the fuck are they doing here'?!

Cardiff tried to switch to the FA instead of the FAW and were declined, not their fault.

I read and acknowledge the info in previous posts, but after what's kicked off at Pompey this season I hope the PL are seriously scrutinising the viability of these investors. New investors are always a potential risk (Glazer, Shinawatra, Ashley, Al-Fahim, Hicks and Gillett).

Totally agree, let's hope (FAt chance) that the powers that be don't drop the ball on this one.
Having said that, it's all down to Risdale and the CCFC people, as to whether the new investors are good or bad as the authorities have consistently distanced themselves from any direct involvement other than the rather toothless "fit and proper persons" test.

All that money from being promoted via the playoffs will help them a bit.

If you get this petition going, any chance of nipping to Carrington and asking Bellers to sign..? Take a mate with a camcorder.!

The FA Premier League not the FA and FAW Premier League
It's not either of them. The FA doesn't run the Premier League or the Football League.
As previously mentioned, why weren't you bothered when Cardiff, Swansea and Wrexham (and Newport, and Merthyr, and Colwyn Bay) were in the Football League/non-league? And there are historical reasons for them being here, such as there not being a Welsh league until 1992.
I'd rather Blackpool went up because they're a Lancashire team, but this thread is ridiculous.

No worries Blackpool to win.mancity dan said:I'm not a racist at all. Just feel that the English have their own Premier League as do Scotland and Wales, so why are Cardiff allowed in the English Premier League.

Either way, if we dont take 6 points off them next season, I'll be gutted.

They let us have both the FA and League Cup finals in their country between 2000 and 2006.
