Cardiff City PROFILE

The summer World Cup qualifiers are looming for Wales, but manager Craig Bellamy is looking further down the road ahead, as Ian Mitchelmore reports.

Cardiff City’s search for a new manager would appear to have one name crossed off the list after Nathan Jones led Charlton Athletic to the Championship.

Cardiff City have narrowed their search for a new manager to a handful of possible candidates, including one who is very visible this weekend.

Aaron Ramsey had said his priority was playing not managing Cardiff City, but his final game in temporary charge has left the door open.

There are six stages of relegation grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, and finally, renewal of League One season tickets. Ian Mitchelmore takes stock.

Three days after his team were relegated to League One, Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has tried to address the anger and frustration of Bluebirds fans.

Next season, Cardiff City will be playing Doncaster Rovers, Port Vale, Stevenage and Crawley Town as they count the cost of relegation to League One.

Cardiff City are down, condemed to relegation and unable even to take their fight to the final game. Jake Maddaford was on hand to witness the final agonies

Aaron Ramsey has spelt out his priorities and it's clear that after his three-game stint to save Cardiff City from relegation, he intends to return to playing.

Six points from two games and a rookie manager in charge, it looks desperate for Cardiff City - but Ian Mitchelmore has detected some light in the darkness.

You would have got very long odds on Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere going head-to-head as managers at the start of the season, but that is how the final day will pan out.
