Is their manager a Fast Show character?

Twitter isn't a source, it is a collection of millions of sources with a very wide range of reliability.

Perhaps don't jump to conclusions that it is true.

How about these...?

Just said his goodbyes..

The game tomorrow can be watched on the Cardiff City website if you buy a £3 match pass, so looks extremely unlikely for there to be a free stream to watch Cardiff City vs Southampton on Tuesday evening as it would conflict with what Cardiff are doing. https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/pre-season-match-preview-cardiff-city-vs-southampton

Who said he'd be a starter in the 1st team? He may end up being a replacement for Vestergaard in that Salisu becomes a starter in place of Vestergaard and Simeu takes centre back numbers back up to four (whilst also getting some gametime in the under 23s).

What do you think it tells us? The majority of those who have left were not in the first team last season. Have you considered it is shifting deadwood to make room for incomings?

Difference is next summer he requires no transfer fee, so that would make a deal more attractive to other clubs. Also nothing happens to a player's footballing ability as the clock ticks at midnight turning 29 to 30. A club like Leicester didn't care Bertrand is in his early 30s.

Probably puts our game on the 31st July in doubt...

They don't need to be pre-existing fans of the club. Wolves and Leicester's owners weren't fans of the club before they purchased those clubs. Their owners (like Liebherr) became fans of the club after the purchase.

That won't be in FM22, but will be in future years.

Not fact, a guess of events. I think Simeu will be viewed as a 1st team member rather than an under 23 team player.

A guess... - Salisu to replace Vestergaard as first choice. - Bednarek and Salisu as first choice centre back pairing. - Stephens and Simeu as back-up. - Vestergaard sold and funds used to improve the squad in other areas.

Have you considered he could be on their list of targets, but lower down so they will wait and see if they can get 1st choice targets? You don't buy back up targets early in the window before seeing if Kane, Haaland etc can be signed first. Still 5+ weeks left.

If he has another season like 2019/20, which isn't beyond the realms of possibilities then he'd have a chance. If he stays he also has the incentive of playing well to attract the best Bosman transfer he can get. Plus he is a Saints fan so is probably unlikely to drop tools completely even if he wants a big move.

He isn't going to be going through the motions if he has any ambition to go to the World Cup next year.

Part of that may be because Maya Yoshida was already at the club when Bertrand joined and Yoshida had number 3.
