For the first time in 22 years, Cardiff City will be a League One club next season.
Their stay in the Championship came to an end after a goalless draw against West Bromwich Albion, and results that went against them, sealed their fate.
Aaron Ramsey made a damning verdict about the structure of the club behind the scenes, after a raft of managerial changes and fan displeasure, including Omer Riza being dismissed and replaced by Ramsey, a decision branded as ‘weird’ by Robbie Earnshaw.

Cardiff City fan Jason Mohamed painfully confirms relegation on air
It’s never easy to stay professional when your boyhood club is struggling, but BBC Final Score presenter and Cardiff fan Jason Mohamed had to deliver the news of the Bluebirds’ relegation.

He did offer a more damning verdict later on, insisting that the Bluebirds’ failure is ‘bad for Welsh football.’
Mohamed then jokingly admitted he’d always been a fan of rugby union instead.

What makes this even more damning is that only six years ago, Cardiff were playing Premier League football and Wrexham were in the National League play-offs.
