Start of Season Expectations: Reach the Play-Offs (Minimum)​

Team Overview:​

Players - Good blend of youth and experience, squad lacks depth in most positions, Joe Ledley will be a big player for us so need to get him tied down to a long term deal, also noticed a lot of over-rated players on big contracts who need to leave the club.​

Finances - Average at best, £0 transfer budget and £77k wage budget that is already all being used, will have to get rid of high earners to bring in transfer funds and wage funds and do some good work in the free/loan market. Financial security is a must.​

Potential Transfers In - Sol Campbell (Free), Darron Gibson (Loan), Mark Viduka (Free)​

Players to be Transfer listed - Miguel Comminges, Gavin Rae, Gabor Gyepes, Riccardo Scimeca, Peter Enckelman​

My Ambitions:

Season 4 - Premiership Top Half/Europa League​

I hope you will follow and be entertained by my story as you follow me taking the Bluebirds to the promised land of the Premier League on a shoe-string budget, and in doing so become the first Welsh team to play in the Premiership!​

Cheers mate, hope people show interest and enjoy following this, people may see Cardiff as an easy challenge but with the limited funds/tight budgets it isn't an easy task!
