CARDIFF REGRET LETING HIM GO AS SENSATIONAL ACE SHINE OVER……..
The 7 players let go by Cardiff City in the summer and how they’ve got on since
FLW takes a look at how the players that the Bluebirds got rid of permanently across the summer have fared after their departures…
HIGHLIGHTS
- Cardiff City has undergone a significant transformation since narrowly avoiding relegation last season, with a renewed sense of ambition and direction.
- The club conducted major squad surgery in the summer, clearing out players who couldn’t meet the new standards set by manager Erol Bulut.
- Some of the players who left Cardiff City on a permanent basis have found success at their new clubs, while others have struggled or remained without a club.
Cardiff City resembled a club in dire need of revolution and a monumental change in philosophy for quite some time.
Ever since their controversial relegation from the Premier League in the 2018/19 campaign, they simply seemed to fluctuate from disaster to disaster, regressing at an alarming rate year on year.
The nadir, of course, came last season as three separate managers all came and went as Cardiff only narrowly staved off relegation to League One, a consequence that would’ve doubtlessly proved catastrophic from all angles in the capital of Wales.
Indeed, had Reading not received their fatal points deduction for falling foul of EFL regulations then the Bluebirds would’ve taken their place in the third-tier for the first time in two decades.
Understandably so, then, fans had feared for what loomed on the horizon this time around, but the renewed sense of ambition and direction at the club from top to bottom has dispelled any such worry as Cardiff now hold fresh designs of competing at the opposite end of the table.
