Vincent Tan: Cardiff City owner says ‘wrong to say I don’t care’

Ramsey was tasked with taking charge of Cardiff’s final three matches of the season following the departure of Riza fewer than 24 hours after the Bluebirds were beaten 2-0 by Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on 18 April.

The Wales captain oversaw draws against Oxford United and West Bromwich Albion, although Cardiff slipped to the foot of the table. They sit five points behind 21st-placed Luton Town going into their final match of the campaign at Norwich City on Saturday, 3 May (12:30 BST).

The club also said the review will focus on bringing a fresh coaching team to the club.

“It will culminate in the appointment and announcement of a new permanent manager and management team that can sculpt and coach a competitive squad through pre-season and into the 2025-26 campaign,” the statement continued.

“This message has been internally communicated to club staff as the first point of a developing strategy.

“We commit to communicating further strategy points with you as the summer progresses; as appointments are made; as our revamped playing squad takes shape; and as we rebuild.”

Cardiff claimed just one point from the first six matches of the season as Bulut was sacked in September.

He was replaced by Riza who oversaw a significant lift early on before the club’s form nosedived again in the new year.

Prior to the end of his tenure, Riza labelled some of the club’s fans “clueless”, later apologising after his comments were branded “disrespectful” by the Supporters’ Trust.

Cardiff were unable to get the vital victories they needed under Ramsey – who said everyone connected to the club “has to look at themselves in the mirror”.

“We have to be big enough to accept that and we need to get it right for next season,” said the Wales midfielder.

“It’s so important because this club has got so much potential. It’s just about getting that right now and hopefully responding well to this and bouncing back quickly.”
