Squad3 Jul 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Amari'i Bell

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Cardiff City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom3 Jul 2028

Cardiff City put Matthew Stewart on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Paulo Moreira in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Cardiff City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Real improvement from Hamish Douglas at Cardiff City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Hamish Douglas is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Gabriel Osho falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom3 Jul 2028

Cardiff City sign 7 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

Boardroom3 Jul 2028

$11.1M taken back off the Cardiff City table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

Market3 Jul 2028

The Dylan Lawlor talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Cardiff City know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market3 Jul 2028

Jake Davies leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Jake Davies leaves Cardiff City the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Squad26 Jun 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Amari'i Bell

27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Cardiff City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom26 Jun 2028

Pressure builds in the Cardiff City boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market26 Jun 2028

Jake Davies puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Cardiff City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Cardiff City

Zeki Amdouni was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market26 Jun 2028

The Nathan Trott conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Partizan will make the call about Nathan Trott this week. Cardiff City have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Rubin Colwill signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rubin Colwill commits to Cardiff City for another 4 years.

Boardroom5 Jun 2028

Matthew Stewart has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Cardiff City can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Remember the name: Isaac Davies

He is 20, he is averaging 6.57, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Market5 Jun 2028

Zeki Amdouni wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Cardiff City hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Tempers go at Cardiff City

Nathan Trott was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market5 Jun 2028

Eyes on Isaac Davies again

The phone has started ringing about Isaac Davies again, and this time the name on the line is Birmingham. Cardiff City are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad5 Jun 2028

The manager makes an example of Dylan Lawlor

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market5 Jun 2028

Jake Davies told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jake Davies has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Cardiff City.
