So pre season has started, the players are back in training but apart from Semi Ajayi, who signed a permanent deal from Arsenal, it's the same set of players who remained at the club at the end of last season.
In fact Ajayi ended the season on loan here so he's technically a returning player as well.
Cardiff play their first pre season friendly in 10 days time at Forest Green Rovers. Before that Russell Slade is taking his squad to Champneys Health Resort in Leicestershire for a week of training sessions aimed at getting the squad fitter.
But it seems that we are likely to lose a player from the squad before we get any more in.
The move back to blue, a superb stadium and reasonable season ticket sales are all well and good but now the team has to deliver on the pitch if the stadium is to attract more ticket sales.
Chief Exec Ken Choo spoke to Walesonline last week and tried to convince supporters the club know what they are doing. Questions put by Terry Philips
Q: What is the situation with new signings? Manager Russell Slade has only signed one player so far - defender Semi Ajayi from Arsenal.
KC: To be frank we are still reviewing players. We won’t rush in. It’s important to be careful and ensure we don’t make mistakes.
It’s easy to sign players, a lot of players, but we want the right players for Cardiff City. It’s no good rushing in, signing a dozen players, making errors and throwing money away.
There will be new players joining our squad for the new season and those who come in must be of the right calibre and quality.
We want players who add value to the team, not just any players.
Yes, we have been taking our time, studying every situation and making solid progress towards bringing in the players we need. There are still two months left in the transfer window and we will not rush in without a lot of thought.
We are on course to add the players we want and are not concerned. The target is to be absolutely ready by August 8.
We know what we are doing. We will be 100% ready for that Fulham match.
Q: How do you come to a decision on which players are right for Cardiff City?
KC: Vincent Tan, Mehmet Dalman, our manager Russell Slade and I are talking all the time, holding many, many meetings.
We know what we want and drew up a short list. Then, after a lot of research, we narrow that down further until we have the right few. Our job is to get it right on recruitment.
Q: What is the latest on players leaving the club?
KC: A departure is imminent. We have to trim the squad and are working towards that.
Q: Will Cardiff City be keeping their key players?
KC: Yes. We will keep key players who can help us move forward unless an offer is made that we simply can’t refuse.
Cardiff City is a business at the end of the day and we will consider any offer on its merits, but we are not looking to do that.
Whatever happens, whatever decisions are made, they will be for the good of our football club.
Q: Will Cardiff City have a team able to challenge for promotion?
KC: That is exactly what we are working towards. The target is promotion and if that wasn’t what we wanted to achieve, none of us would be here.
We have to get the squad right, the team right. The whole structure of this club has to be spot on and we are spending a lot of time making sure it’s right.
Promotion can be the result of what we do in preparation. We are building in every area of the club to ensure we are ready to challenge.
The kit colour is now blue again, the club badge has changed, we reduced season ticket prices and we are trying to correct any mistakes.
Now we have launched a new Adidas home kit and that was available to supporters within 24 hours. We did that because we care about Cardiff City fans and will do our best for them by doing the right things.
Our owner, Vincent Tan, is totally behind us and wants to do the right thing for our club.
He is a genuine man who wants to do well for Cardiff City.
Posters on the outside of the stadium and new kit show our city is blue. He meant what he said, delivered what he said. Vincent Tan is a man of his word.
Q: Can you confirm that season ticket sales are currently around 10,000?
KC: That is correct. It could be better, of course, but this is a free country and we must work hard to bring in more. If Cardiff City do well in the Championship there will be more. We care about our fans and are doing a lot of things to help them.
Q: Cardiff City have not yet confirmed their pre-season fixtures to be played during the tour to Holland? What is happening?
KC: An announcement is close, extremely close. All agreements have been drafted for two matches and it won’t be long before everybody knows who we are playing.
Convinced?
