After one win in the last nine league games and a meek surrender in the FA Cup the pressure is mounting on boss Russell Slade.
The club have supported Slade to make seven January signings to replace the mass exodus of high earners but they realise results are not going well and have given Slade the dreaded vote of confidence.
Chairman Mehmet Dalman said: "The board is obviously not happy with the results.
"But we are fully behind the manager."
Dalman also said owner Vincent Tan was still fully committed to the Bluebirds, despite cutting wages and costs.
He insisted the Malaysian will turn the club's debt into equity at the "appropriate time".
Cardiff have only gained eight points out of a possible 30 from their last 10 matches in the Championship and face Sheffield Wednesday away on Saturday.
In Friday's press conference looking ahead to the match at Hillsborough, Slade admitted he was under pressure.
"I've said before there's not a day goes by in any manager's career that there's not an amount of pressure," he said.
"But of course that's only going to intensify and that will be the case if we continue on the run that we've had. But it can't rain forever, can it?"
