of going into addministration which by all accounts will give them a points reduction.

is close.

Apparently they have till Thursday to enter administration for a pts deduction this seaso. After this date they will get deducted next season. So I think its unlikely that they will drop out of playoffs this year. :(

That's only the case if the points deduction would not have a significant impact on their final league position. If they go into admin after the deadline yet come the end of the season they finish 6th with the team in 7th less than 10 points behind, they will lose 10 points this season.

But if Cardiff are actually wound up; with all their points expunged, then the table could look very different.....

We won't be wound up, admin won't happen. The new investors are in. Were at the game yesterday meeting the fans etc. They're putting £6mil into the club until end of the season. It will cover debts, wage bill, staffing etc.

We've been told by them, we will invest well next year but don't expect a Man City effort, which is sensible really

The Malaysians have gone home today after yesterday's game but will be in place fully by the end of April it seems. If Admin did happen and it doesn't look likely, so many local businessmen who put money into the club for new ground/other things will lost it all so wouldn't let it get to this.

Ridsdale will be gone very soon it seems, They don't want him there and he will try and take all credit for bringing the investors in but it was actually 2 directors who've done the hard work over the last few months

I hope you sort out the mess before it's too late. I'm sure HMRC will be wanting some assurances. I can't see them trusting Ridsdale with his track record, so I hope you have someone else to represent the club.

There's 3 major businessmen on our board at the moment, maybe more. Ridsdale is away from the cheque book!  :laugh:

Ridsdale ought to be banned from the game completely.
