' Cardiff Back in Court Vs Langston? '

Another boring episode looming involving langstone

Martyn, I have to agree.

Maybe Tan just doesn't want to pay anything else out. It sounds like he wants out anyway, maybe he just decided no more money coming out of his pocket if he can avoid it.

the club not ran has been paying the money recently he hasn't had to put money in, in the last 12 months

And to think that there are still people who would genuinely welcome Sam Hammam being involved in the running of our club again.

Beggars belief!

Sam knows a lot more of whats going on at the club than the ordinary rank and file fan.

If he wants his money out, quicker than the agreed monthly schedule, it would suggest that he has inside knowledge that Tan is ready to bail, and if he doesn't get his wonga soon, he's never going to get it.

Lets all rem Tan had hired forensic detectives to go through everything regarding Langston,paid them a £million and nothing was found,then pays Langston £millions.

I have always been straight about what I know regarding Sam/Langston etc


The Tan Circus continues.

Annis in fairness to Tan you can't blame him for not wanting to pay Sams debt off to whoever it is?

Tan had increased out debt and he will be accountable for that but at least ain't charging any interest.

Luke, I have not stuck up for Sam or Tan on this, I honestly dont know Tans reason for it?

But lets all Tan had hired forensic detectives to go through everything regarding Langston,paid them a £million and nothing was found,then pays Langston £millions.


And once again it feels like the Circus has started again.

No I know.

I think if I was Tan it would annoy me having to pay Langston though. Tan has made plenty of me as himself but Langston isn't one of them

So tan as just said ok fck this for a laugh I wont continue to pay Langstone/sam or whoever they are? Right pigs do fly then!

but Sam hasn't asked for it back has he ??? The club said they won't make anymore payments untill they have more information on who Langston are nothing to do with tan bailing,probably Sam has rubbed the club up the wrong way recently

Vincent Tan: Cardiff City could be debt-free in 'days'

Mr Tan said he was disappointed that not all the fans were behind changes at the club



Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan says he is "days away" from an agreement with creditors Langston which would result in the club becoming debt-free.

The debt to Langston - whose spokesman is former Cardiff City owner Sam Hammam - was taken out in 2004, and is thought to be about £24m.

Mr Tan, receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of South Wales, said the deal was "in Sam's hands".

Mr Tan said his total investment in the club so far would be about £120m.



If too many fans show that we are not welcome then maybe they will have a new owner but right now my experiences are that we are very welcome”

Vincent Tan
Cardiff City FC owner
Mr Tan, speaking at a news conference at the University of South Wales in Treforest, said: "We are talking to Sam Hammam to try to resolve the Langston issue.

"I have been talking to Sam," he said.

"We have been friendly, talking. I like to regard Sam now as my friend and we will come around and resolve this.

"We are, I think, days away from an agreement."

Mr Tan said if the deal could be done, he could "convert all my loans to equity and make the club financially much more secure and hopefully debt-free".

He added: "That's my goal - to make the club debt-free, so that the club won't be under any threat and after that we just have to manage it prudently, run it like a business."

Asked to confirm an agreement could be reached within days, he replied: "Days away. It's in Sam's hands."

He expects his total investment in the club to be about £120m, once the debt is resolved.

He said he expects to stay at the club a while, adding: "If I sell now a lot of people in Cardiff would be disappointed and a lot of people in Malaysia would be disappointed."

However, he said he was still disappointed with the reaction of some fans over the club's re-branding, which included a change of club colours from blue to red.

"If too many fans show that we are not welcome then maybe they will have a new owner but right now my experiences are that we are very welcome," he said.

He also appealed to fans not to be too negative or disruptive.

Mr Tan said he was studying the possibility of floating part of the club on the Malaysian stock exchange to bring in Malaysian shareholders who would be friends and supporters of Cardiff.

He also spoke about the signing of an agreement with FK Sarajevo in Bosnia to work together as affiliated clubs to try to develop players.

And to think that there are still people who would genuinely welcome Sam Hammam being involved in the running of our club again.

I don't know Wez. I think Sam/Langstone have played the long game in order to get as much of his/their money back, as possible. His position at the club makes me think Tan wanted him inside the tent pissing out rather than on outside pissing in.

Something has triggered this sudden shift, which might be bad news for Sam, but will be good news for you and for you lot getting your club.

Lets all rem Tan had hired forensic detectives to go through everything regarding Langston,paid them a £million and nothing was found,then pays Langston £millions.

The Tan Circus continues.

Is this timing just a coincidence with all the talk about take overs via consortiums? Wasn't Sam commenting on them subject? Maybe Sam has been a bit to busy behind the scenes Hmmmmmmm

Why do the club need more info on Langston now - doesn't make sense. Why would we have paid the majority of the debt off without having this knowledge - but now refusing to pay until we get the info. Seems to me that Tan is trying to renege on the debt. Yet another embarrassment for the club - it appears Tan wants to be in the news and is not bothered whether it is for the right or wrong reasons.

Nothing like jumping to conclusions. You should apply for a role in Hollyoaks with dramatic performances like that.

I'm more a Corrie man myself!

I think your on to something there

Another U-turn by the Tanites.

So after doing a U turn on the rebrand....the fans wanted the red yeah right....they now telling Langston no more money after paying an up front fee plus some of the instalments.

If anyone is to believe these Tanites are to be trusted then they are totally deluded.

Not sure what you mean by a "Tanites" but in my opinion Tan should be and it seems sorting the debt he created and has backed with his own money on no interest.

Sam made the debt "Langston" paid it off, not Tan.
I think we can all blame Tan for something but paying off someone else's debt isn't one of them especially as we are now back to blue, that was never the deal.

A deal was made between Tan and Langston. Tan is squelching on it. It's that simple.

Tan could say like the fans did on red in the prem.

Your jumping to conclusions without knowing all the facts, we don't know what's changed over the last couple of months in the relationship between the two parties do we?? I can't see it ever being just about money with Tan

Really? I don't recall being asked.

Not many opposed when we did well.

You may think it's coincidence that the real protests started when we struggled but we don't believe it

We all know if we were in the prem we would be sold out every week in red.

A deal was made. It does not matter what has changed regarding the relationship between the two parties. I fell out with my bank manager who gave me a mortgage. Do I stop paying the mortgage?

You do if your paying the mortgage of the previous owner
