Who will go down? 08:09 - Apr 6 with 3429 views | Swans9 | We are nearly safe and I think plymouth are definitely not going to stay up. Luton home form is good but it could be to little to late. So it looks like the Cardiff v Stoke game whoever wins that could well decide the 3 spot. Well done to our manager and the players for digging deep to get us nearly safe. The board as well let's hope they make the right signings in the summer to get us back to mid table safety and a cup run. |  | | |  |
Who will go down? on 08:15 - Apr 6 with 3234 views | GVJack | It's tough. I think both Plymouth and Luton are gone, and the remaining place will come down between Cardiff and Stoke. Cardiff have a tough run but if they can take 6pts from stoke and Oxford games they may just sneak it. If they fail to beat Stoke at home I think they could be a league 1 team next year. |  | |  |

Wrexham have signed veterans on massive wages, there squad would need a big overhaul if they do come up |  |

Looking through the list of players that they've signed this season, the vast majority appear to be in their early to mid 20's. McClean, Fletcher and Rodriguez are the only ones in the last two seasons who are well into their 30's. [Post edited 6 Apr 11:33]

Yes but they'll find strengthening in this divisin a lot more expensive and they cannot afford the wages to attract hugher tier players to the Championship like they have in the lower leagues. When they signed Mullin they outbid a few League One clubs I believe. I wonder what their wage bill is and how they will do with the P&S rules up here. Their avaerga crowd is 12,757, that's for a succesful team and I don't remember but I think we were pulling a bit more when we came up from L1, can Wrexham get that many more fans through the gates to make increased spending viable? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Their crowds will increase once they complete the new stand there, but ultimately the money they pull through the gates will pale into insignificance compared to the commercial income that they can generate through the Hollywood links. Reynolds and McElhenny have been very smart in the way that they've gone about things there. Our gate money probably represents no more than a quarter of our total annual income. TV money is the biggest bit. How many times do you think they'll feature on Sky? How many more replica shirts will they sell! They will probably be in a better position re: PSR than us. |  |

Not sure of the amounts but this new tv deal at the start of the season was pulling in a fair few million.

When questioned on Thursday about the revenue I'm sure the figure quoted was £2.1M extra. It was also stated that this is outstripping the loss off revenue from lower gates [and everything involved] plus the loss of live streaming [Swans TV]. They emphasised that although we are not worse off financially you can't beat watching football live in a stadium. Obviously the £2.1M goes up the more you are featured for main live games. |  | |  |

Probably. I think including the solidarity payment it works out around £10-15m per club depending on the amount of games you have televised. Even if you go to the absolute best case scenario, 16,000 season tickets at an average say, of £350 a year (full price and concessions) plus another 5,000 walk ups at £30 each you're only talking about £9m a year in gate receipts, and we're miles below that. Half at best. |  |

There remaining fixtures Preston away Stoke home Sheff Utd away Oxford home West Brom home Norwich away Preston & Norwich are teams with nothing to play for that are teams you like to face at this stage of the season. The others still have something to play for in their games vs. Stoke & Oxford; you feel they must win to have any hope. I really hope they go down. |  | |  |

Big one for them tonight, Derby are home to Burnley, so can't see the getting anything a point will get them out of the bottom 3 and then Stoke home Saturday Hate to say it but can see them scraping out of it |  |

Who will go down? on 14:48 - Apr 9 with 1548 views | Swans9 | I think it is because we can be empathetic to who's going to get relegated after the run we went on in Jan and Feb. Also since Potter got us to 10th we have been a bottom half of the league side. Stoke took over 4k to Preston on sat and look at the run stoke are on. I know it's not far to travel still good numbers though and they are taking 2k to Cardiff on sat. |  | |  |

If Hull win tonight, the bottom three are in a lot of trouble. Derby have decent fixtures and are the kind of team who will scrap their way to points. Sheffield United still have a chance at top two, but have to win all their games. Quite plausible that Cardiff find themselves four points from safety with three games left by Friday night. |  | |  |
Who will go down? on 13:09 - Apr 15 with 391 views | Boundy | Anusol writes : Neil Warnock, 75, agreed to a sensational Cardiff City return last only for Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan to veto a rescue act tabled by Board members Mehmet Dalman and Ken Choo. Chairman Dalman, CEO Choo and a legion of senior Cardiff players would welcome the end of rookie manager Omer Riza's disastrous 36-League game tenure which has seen the Bluebirds fail to taste victory in 27 of those matches. Ex- Non League Leyton Orient caretaker boss Riza, 45, fatal haul of just one win in 10 matches has stapled the Bluebirds into the Championship bottom three, with only 360 minutes of football remaining this season. Warnock, since miraculously leading Cardiff to the Premier League in 2018, leaving the club in autumn 2019, has since performed rescue acts at Rotherham, stablising Middlesbrough and Aberdeen too. The former Sheffield United boss believes he can save Cardiff's 23-year second tier status, and wants to lead the Bluebirds to sanctuary - starting at his old Bramall Lane haunt this Friday. But stubbon Tan continues to shield Riza, the coach who continously shuffles his starting line up, upsetting and confusing the Bluebirds squad in the process. Ex-Cheshunt coach Riza presides over a disastrous 25% win tally at Cardiff which has placed Wales' capital club in real danger of relegation to League One. Owner Vincent Tan is adamant he will stand by Omer Riza. |  |
