Cardiff City made a £35.1m loss in the season they were relegated from the Championship, according to the club's latest set of accounts. The Bluebirds are currently top of League One and on course to return to the second-tier at the first attempt. But accounts state they remain reliant on the financial support of majority shareholder Vincent Tan, whose loans to the club totalled almost £90m by the end of last season. In notes accompanying the accounts for the financial year ending on 31 May 2025, Cardiff's overall liabilities stood at £161m. That saw Cardiff pay around £7m in interest and similar expenses, although more than half of Tan's loans do not accrue interest.
