Pompey and leicester. two of the top of my head.

Foreign owners who dont understand football are ruining the game.

Sadly the likes of dave whelan are few and far between. got to stand up and applaud his comments yesterday.

I said in a previous post a few weeks ago that there is far too much sucking up to the Malaysians going on. Malaysia Day was suggested and get the Malaysian kid who was mugged in the London riots as a guest of honour down here because he had links to the club were just 2 of the crackpot ideas suggested. As we aren't pushing on, as you rightly claim, what are the motives for buying into the club? And, if they are getting tired of having us, whenever that may be, how will they want their 'investment' paid back?

You could argue the Leicester case as they spent big in the summer. OK, they may be mid-table at the moment, but I have the feeling that this will be changing soon

Malaysia Day - in the middle of Cardiff - what a joke .

Sucking up - bang on .

Fans standing by watching the history of their club eroded and their tradition by a bunch of wannabe dreamers from Malaysia.

Throw in the word Billionaire - and everybody starts waving stained hankies of over joy !!

You are watching Cardiff City FC turn into Malaysia FC - and you wave your Malaysian flags and cheer away all tradition and history of Cardiff City FC. FACT.

It's a shame that someone like a Dave Whelan or a Jack Walker type person didn't come in. A local man with a passion and heart for the club who had enough money to invest didn't come in and buy us really. I'm not sold on the David Sullivan idea as he seems too contradictory a character and some of his methods are questionable to say the least, but he does seem to give a shit about the clubs he takes over
