Am I really wrong about Cardiff City though, I just assumed they were in the bottom quarter of the Championship in terms of budget, isn't that so? They were in the premiership for a season in 2012 or 13???. Owned by a guy named Vincent Tan, who tried to change the team's colours from blue to red, because of the popularity of red with the Chinese although this only lasted a couple of years and really alienated the fan base. They play in a decent sized stadium, 30k or so but have lots of debt. If i had to guess, I'd say maybe top half, possible top third. I think Tan has put a fair bit of money into the team since acquiring them, so only a fairly recent uptick in relative size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most pre-season predictions that I saw had them mid-table, which is exactly where they are. Not sure about their budget though.

Obinna Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Cardiff City strikes me as a top half Championship club. They typically push for promotion, no? toontownman and hamiltonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hmm I don't know if I want him in the MLS....it maybe hard to adjust which will eventually make him look average, which in turn affects our Canada team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I think he could be a "David accam" level player in MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if JH has that kind of speed Hoilett is deceptively quick. I think it's because he has a muscular build. When he sprints he doesn't appear to be moving fast, but when he beats players for pace it's clear that he is. I don't know if he has as much pace as Accam, but I'd put him in the same tier, which would be a level below the top guys like Ricketts, Mattocks or Oduro. Like Accam, he's shifty and can change direction and is a good dribbler and likes to cut inside from the left. I can't think of an MLSer who's closer to Hoilett in style and quality. Justin Merram, for example, has similar dribbling and shooting ability, but not the same pace. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/junior-hoilett-commits-cardiff-city-13144454 Good move for him. They are a side that should hopefully be pushing for promotion next season. A 1-year extension is great. He gets to play another season under a manager who believes in him, and he'll be involved from the start and tasked with helping Cardiff promote. I think we'll see a lot more from Hoilett next season in terms of production. Worst case scenario, he can leave next year if things go sideways.

Blackjack15 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Cardiff City will promote to the Premier League this season and once again Hoilett will be back in the top flight! As he was with Blackburn Rovers (2009-2012) & 2012-2013 / 2014-2015 with QPR. I notice his appearances in the Championship have increased obviously but not by much, meaning he's gotten a lot of playing time in EPL. 20+ Games SpecialK, Mike Thompson and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 With him being 27, the only wat I could see him getting into the BPL again is him having an absolutely insane season, or getting promoted with Cardiff. He is averaging a point per game right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I would really love for Cardiff to promote. A lot of season left to play but they are top of the table thus far. jpg75 and Blackjack15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
