Cardiff City were relegated from Championship to League One on Saturday following Luton’s 1-0 win against Coventry and the Bluebirds’ 0-0 draw against West Brom.
After weeks of poor form and managerial turmoil, Cardiff City suffered relegation from the Championship down to League One on Saturday afternoon.
Before kick-off at Cardiff, the dinner-time clash between Luton Town and Coventry City put one of the final nails in Cardiff’s Championship coffin.

The dramatic Hatters win, in which Jay Dasilva was shown a controversial red card, saw Matt Bloomfield’s side jump to 21st on 49 points in the Championship table.
Luton’s win left Cardiff with a monumental mountain to climb, which proved insurmountable for Aaron Ramsey’s side as fans took to social media to lament their League One demotion.
Cardiff City fans react to relegation from Championship after West Brom draw
After Omer Riza was removed from his position, and Ramsey’s appointment as interim head coach that one Cardiff legend labelled as “weird”, the writing had been on the wall for Cardiff City.
Ramsey was adamant spirits were high, but that proved not enough to stem the tide of demotion, as Cardiff fell victim to the Championship relegation battle.
Calum Chambers’ rallying cry fell on deaf Cardiff ears. Cacophonies of boos and mixed applause chorused around the Cardiff City Stadium.
After the dust had started to settle on the West Brom draw that spelled relegation, the Bluebirds faithful took to social media to vent their frustrations at the club’s hierarchy, led by owner Vincent Tan, and some of the players who failed to stave off the drop.
One Cardiff fan said: “3 managers in a season is a recipe for disaster. Tan has lost interest at the club. Best he can do for him and us is sell up”, as another argued: “Get Tan out and all of his yes men at board level. Need a complete reset at our club. Only when things change at the top can we really move forward as a football club.”
One fan added: “All the board & players should be ashamed of themselves. No help from the top. League one team at best on the pitch. You’ve let all the fans down and even worse you’ve let the city of Cardiff down.”
Looking ahead to next season in League One, one Bluebirds fan argued: “The choice of next manager is massive so we don’t drop again next season. We’ve got to attack next season”.
Another said: “Haven’t been good enough all season. Wouldn’t be surprised if we tumbled down the leagues! Interesting summer ahead!”
“Disgraceful. I don’t recognise my club anymore.” wrote a supporter at full-time.
Cardiff’s relegation to League One not only brought disaster for the fanbase, but also bodes major financial concern for the club.
Cost of Cardiff City’s relegation from Championship to League One
Cardiff’s defeat spelled their demotion down to the third tier of the English Football Leagues for the first time in 22 years.
The Bluebirds are now staring into a financial abyss with the staggering downturn in revenue suffered with Championship relegation.
Due to severe reductions in broadcast revenue and the loss of Premier League solidarity payments, their potential incomes loss is estimated to be between £7.1million and £10.5million.
Financial estimations from WalesOnline highlight that combined income streams encompassing Sky Sports’ deal, pre-match fees, international TV rights and Premier League Solidarity payments total an estimated £9.5 million to £12.5 million income annually for Championship sides.
Whereas in League One, those figures combine to an estimated total income of £2 million to £2.4 million annually for third tier clubs.
Not only are the Bluebirds supporters suffering after a torrid season, culminating in their first third tier demotion in over two decades, the purse strings and financial might of the Cardiff City hierarchy will suffer too.
