Cardiff City’s 0-0 draw against West Brom on Saturday afternoon saw the Bluebirds relegated to League One as interim boss Aaron Ramsey made a worrying comment about the club’s structure.
Cardiff City’s 0-0 draw against West Brom confirmed their relegation from the Championship to League One for the first time in over 20 years.
The Bluebirds’ game was their season in a nutshell; moments of hope outweighed by a lack of quality.
Cardiff’s turbulent campaign culminated with Omer Riza being removed from his post, which saw Aaron Ramsey appointed as interim boss, in a decision labelled as “weird” by a club legend.
Ramsey’s promotion to caretaker boss could not stem the tide of relegation. A catastrophic campaign that has ended in demotion, which many supporters believe has been on the cards for many years.
After the worst was confirmed, an emotional Ramsey faced the press to discuss their chances in League One, and made a telling admission about the owner Vincent Tan and Cardiff hierarchy’s structure above Ramsey, which has played a pivotal part in their third tier demotion.
Aaron Ramsey’s damning admission over Cardiff City structure
Cardiff City suffered defeat in the Championship relegation battle which led fans to lament the club’s “disgraceful” season.
Relegation had been on the cards all season, with Ramsey being the third head coach to take the Cardiff reins this term, after Riza’s tenure lasted just seven months following the departure of Erol Bulut.
The Bluebirds have flirted with relegation over recent seasons, narrowly dodging the drop in two of the previous three campaigns, before their third tier status was cemented on Saturday.
After the final whistle, Cardiff supporters applauded Ramsey and his players while chanting for owner Vincent Tan’s departure from the club. The Bluebirds faithful the lack of structure, a sporting director and football knowledge at boardroom level have been catalysts for their relegation.
In a damning admission after relegation was confirmed, Ramsey said via the BBC: “Things are a little different to what I’ve experienced at other clubs.
“Normally you do have a head of football or a sporting director, things like that, who are overseeing everything, day-to-day operations and they are aligned with the club.
“As long as that structure is okay you can get away with a lot of other things and you can give these players an opportunity.

“At the end of the day, everyone has to look at themselves in the mirror and we have to be big enough to accept that. It’s so, so important, because this club has got so much potential, it’s just about getting that right and it’s about responding to this and getting back quickly.”
In more worrying news for the Bluebirds fanbase, Ramsey was also uncertain over his future at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Aaron Ramsey uncertain over his Cardiff City future
Club captain Ramsey made 8 appearances for Cardiff before the hamstring injury that curtailed his Championship campaign and subsequently led him to become caretaker boss.
Ramsey has admitted he has unfinished business as a player, but with Cardiff’s relegation conspiring with his current contract expiring at the end of this season, the Welshman ‘doesn’t know’ what his immediate footballing future holds.
The 34-year-old added: “I don’t know [about next season]. Now is the time to digest everything over the next few weeks,
“I’m gutted. I’m a fan as well. I’m sad to see this club going down. The fans have had a difficult time this season and I really feel for them. I know how they’re feeling.
“I think if the right structures are in place with coaching staff and things, these players will give you everything. If they can do that and give them the opportunities they deserve, then of course they’re more than capable of coming straight back up.
“There’s a lot of quality in that team. They should be competing towards the top end of this league, never mind League One.”
