I BELIEVE TROLLOPE IS SAFE BUT ONLY BECAUSE

I honestly believe that if City had lost today then Paul Trollope may have been sacked, fortunately and thankfully we won the game and Trollope will fight to face another day.

When I say fortunately I am obviously referring to Trollope himself being fortunate to save his job but when I say thankfully I mean so from the fact that I don’t see how Cardiff City can sack Trollope and bring in a more experienced manager with a proven track record without putting the club in serious danger of falling foul of Financial Fair Play rules.

We learnt recently that the club are still losing £1m per month and permitted losses for the season can only be to a maximum of £13m for the season.

How would the club steer clear of those FFP rules and pay up Trollope and employ a new manager and stay within the limit which we are so close to exceeding already.

It is a difficult situation that the club finds itself in and that is the reason that I believe we employed Trollope for in the first place.

If we stick with Trollope and we don’t improve dramatically then I honestly believe we will be relegated but as a club we cannot afford to seek an alternative.

On the pitch today Ben Amos, Jazz Richards, Rickie Lambert did themselves no harm whatsoever and the result is obviously very welcome but we cannot go and lose on Tuesday at home to Derby, we must put a couple of wins together to build some momentum.

I believe that we have a squad of players who are talented enough to be a lot higher than we currently are in the league but I do suspect that many of those players have the hunger and stomach for a fight.

Trollope has got a difficult task ahead but I fear the club itself has the biggest issue with how they deal with this situation if results take a backward step over the next few games.
