'It would be great if Gareth Bale was involved somehow' published at 15:15 31 July

BBC Sport Wales asked Cardiff fans for their predictions and expectations ahead of the club's first campaign at League One level in 22 years. Here are their thoughts:
Ollie:
So far we have failed to sign a single player, and the opening day of the new season is only a few days away. I'm really more than a little concerned. I sincerely hope that BBM (Brian Barry-Murphy) is able to get off to a good start, and from looking at our pre-season performances there appears to be an exciting partnership developing between Callum Robinson and Yousef Salech. Fingers crossed we are able to get at least 3-4 new faces through the door.
Tarren:
If we do not win the league then it's a failed season
Simon:
Mid-table at best. I think it could be a lot worse if (Vincent) Tan stays.. wouldn't be a shock to go straight through to League Two
Kelvin:
I think BBM is an excellent fit for bringing through young talent from the U21s, and with several new signings capable of playing his preferred style of play I see no reason why Cardiff will not finish in the top six, possibly top two.
Kevin:
I am a City fan for 54 yrs. My opinion on Barry Murphy is an open one, tbh. Too many false dawns in the past has made me negative. A (Gareth) Bale consortium buying the club I'm 100 per cent behind. (Vincent) Tan doesn't even come to games, his communication is non-existent and fans will still support the club after he's gone. The sooner, the better he sells up.
Julie:
Would love new owners at Cardiff City. Be great if Gareth Bale was involved somehow.
David:
Until there are football-savvy board members, nothing much will change. A club cannot survive on money alone.
Lyndon:
It's a new era under BBM. I feel that he should be a good fit for City. Looks like he wants to play attractive, attacking football, and this can only be a good thing, especially after all the poor performances during the last three seasons. No new signings but reliance on youth seems to be his way forward.
Alun:
There were times last year when we played excellent football without an end product. With the core of the team staying and Salech and Robinson fit, I would expect to make the play-offs as a minimum. Like the majority of Bluebirds fans, we will all believe we are good enough to go straight back up.
Marc:
We desperately need some quality wingers, but there won't be any high-fee signings if Tan is going to sell. We won't be able to get good enough signings to go back up in the automatic spots, and always have bad luck in play-offs so I think we'll finish fourth and lose in the play-off final.
Richard:
Last year's squad underperformed so with a decent coach should be more than capable of pushing to return to the Championship immediately. I hope I don't have to eat my words. Good luck anyway.
Rich:
It is high time for a new owner and structure. There have been highs under Mr Tan, including two promotions and the financing we don't hear too much about. However, there are a number of lows including the loss of identity, heritage and culture and disengagement with supporters. Gareth Bale is an exciting prospect indeed!
