Cardiff City will be counting the pennies more closely this summer than years gone by. It is a chance for them to hit the reset button, to make the club more sustainable moving forward.
But there is, of course, a need to be competitive next season. The thought of relegation to League One does not bear thinking about, especially when you are trying to stave off financial ruin. Recruitment this summer has to be bang on the money, with little room for error given the tight budgetary constraints.
The undertaking is enormous, yes, but not impossible. Steve Morison has voiced his excitement about the upcoming few months and many fans share that sentiment, too. Of course, there is a sense of trepidation among some sections of supporters and this is understandable.
