The first thing that struck me was his voice, really deep and authoritave, first time I've heard his voice and it was nothing like I expected.
He was very reassuring and calming and sounded really genuine. These people aren't here for the quick buck, they have long term ambitions and good business heads that should stand us in good stead.
They have earned some trust, so let's at least give them the couretsy until they show otherwise.

I think the scars of previous regimes are so deep that these same paranoid fans can't trust anyone - even honourable men who have barely put a foot wrong

During the dark days when having a moneyman behind the club meant someone who owned a local travel agency to now being owned by a bona fide extremely wealthy businessman with international interests is frankly unbelievable.
I feel lucky to have the club in the hands of people who will run it like a business in the correct manner, are prepared to take risks, and are intent on investing for the future.
This is a new era for Cardiff City and I am looking forward to what the future holds.

All sorted and a good interview with TG.
I was surprised how forceful and direct the interviewer was.

They are always plausible, likable people who you feel you can trust. They never say "give me your money and that's the last you'll ever see of it". I'm not saying that any of your owners are out to shaft you, but talk is cheap. You'll always catch more flies with honey than you will with vinegar.
Some people are like New Labours Peter Mandleson . They love to bask in the reflected glory of someone with a bit of dosh, they change their loyalties more often than they change their replica kit! They have more faces than the town hall clock, and are just wannabe rich men, who have consistently sold out to the highest bidder. How they have the brass neck to ignore what they have said and done in the past, and air brush it out of history, makes them prime candidates to become MP's.
