Trust statement

Steve Borley, Cardiff City board member

Some of you may have seen some criticism by Steve Borley of the Trust aims for a supporter director and our questions about a vision for the football club.

As a result we have invited Steve to the Trust's next board meeting at the beginning of May. Steve, who has accepted our invitation, will be talking to us as an individual rather than a representative of the club's board.

We look forward to an open and frank discussion with Steve because we all have the best interests of Cardiff City at heart.

steve is stuck in the middle of the deep blue sea,maybe he dont like whats going on, but cant do anything about it, in his real life, he is the director of his company. and calls the shots, ive always liked steve saved our club in times of need

Some people have got short memories.

Borley propped up this club for years.

Fair play that's he's accepted. He's a massive nob but at least he doesn't hide from critics.

and im not saying , he hasnt got an apr of £200,000000000 back off his investment

Really Tim?

I have heard he paid the wages once but I have heard he has done well out of the club.

Agree with this - The Trust should be picking a fight with Dalman & Choo, as they are running the show whilst Tan is away. Sian was happy to sit in the Directors box when we played Charlton, you can't have it ALL ways.

I don't know where you get your info from Ian although I could hazard a guess
Steve paid the wages for months down the city before Sam came in and this is a fact because my wife put it through the payroll
He refurbished the home and away changing rooms at ninian park which hadent been done since 1927 at his own cost.
The new changing rooms at the ccs were done at his cost and were not in the fit out budget.
He bought and fitted at his own cost all the seats in the corners of the ccs because they were not included in the fit out cost. He took on the clerk of the works job when the stadium was being built because the council wanted to charge a 100k fee for providing one.
He paid half a million for the land to build the two houses of sport on ( with the third being built in September) so that the club has the facilities for the academy and the public have access to futsal facilities amongst other sports.
I would never defend him over his Twitter account Ian but certainly over his financial contribution to the club I would back him to the hilt.
I can assure you this board and its coaches have earnt more out of the club than Steve has.

From what I saw it look like Borley was picking a fight with the Trust. The Trust made a statement about the club, next Borley is sticking his foot in.

That's something you would have to ask Steve Ian as that's something only he could answer and I would never be rude enough to ask him.
The things I have posted above are fact and the mortgage rumour is speculation as far as I'm concerned. One thing is for certain he used his own money unlike Sam and ridsdale

I know the answer to that Steve and I know he claims to have put in £2m into the club saying it was his kids inheritance.

I would have never question this before but since his twitter rants and his close working with Tan I am now starting to think what he has made out of the club.

The club have done better out of this relationship than Steve Borley. It's been well documented as Steve Davies points out.

Can you prove that? I mean has everything Borley done been on his own back.

Steve Borley, Cardiff City board member

Some of you may have seen some criticism by Steve Borley of the Trust aims for a supporter director and our questions about a vision for the football club.

We look forward to an open and frank discussion with Steve because we all have the best interests of Cardiff City at heart.

Why do you persevere with this claim about Sian being a Trust committee member?

As I have pointed out to you and others on several occasions,due to work commitments,Sian has not had the time to attend Trust board meetings as a co-opted member or carry out the tasks she was allocated to assist the Trust board.She did not put herself forward to be elected to the board before the deadline and cannot therefore become a board member.Hopefully she will remain a member of the Trust and be able to assist with future events.

The meeting with Steve is very welcome as it gives the opportunity for a full and frank dialogue in a grown up manner which will hopefully prevent a repeat of misunderstandings in the future.

I am sure Steve has put into the Club and also made a mint out of it as well. Plenty have made money off the back of CCFC and to be honest it's a business. What I find repulsive is money made out of destroying our Club IE the re brand. Not accusing anyone just my opinion.

Nukes where would you assume Steve has made a mint out of the club seeing as he fitted out the changing rooms free of charge and filled in the corners of the ground with seats bought by himself and fitted by his own workmen.
Nowhere in the accounts does it show any large payments to Steve or his company from the football club.
The reality is almost no one gets a return from putting money into a football club and I would agree with you the rebrand has wrecked the club but I can't see where anyone including the club has made money from it.
As I said to Ian at least Steve always put his own personal money into the club and you never saw half a million in consultancy fees being taken out in his time unlike the riddler and Sam.
Perhaps if a few other of the local business men had helped Steve back in the day we wouldent be in the mess we are now.

steve is stuck in the middle of the deep blue sea,maybe he dont like whats going on, but cant do anything about it, in his real life, he is the director of his company. and calls the shots, ive always liked steve saved our club in times of need

Agree with this - The Trust should be picking a fight with Dalman & Choo, as they are running the show whilst Tan is away. Sian was happy to sit in the Directors box when we played Charlton, you can't have it ALL ways.

From what I saw it look like Borley was picking a fight with the Trust. The Trust made a statement about the club, next Borley is sticking his foot in.

From what I saw on here the tweets were directed at Steve and he responded - unless I have missed something ?

Agree with you 100%

I sincerely hope that Sian Branson isn't at the meeting now that Keith has confirmed she is neither 'in charge' or an 'active member' of the Trust, as that would further diminish said Trust's validity

Seems some people can (or at least want!)

Fair play that's he's accepted. He's a massive nob but at least he doesn't hide from critics.

Jon, I assume the "knob" you refer to is Steve Borley??

Perhaps you could do some research on what Steve Borley has done for this club over many years (well before his hands were tied behind his back) as you may well alter your thinking on this one!

What people don't realise about Steve Borley is that he has hung around whilst many others have abandoned ship in an effort to 'make a difference' and to help ensure the future of the club he (like the most of us) loves and supported from a very early age when he was born literally next door to Ninian Park!

Yes, he has invested interests in the club; yes, he has had his 'influence' somewhat diminished since Tan came in; and yes, he has the occasional 'rant' in response to some severe provocation form some people who can be pretty self-seeking individuals themselves!

Steve Borley has the best interests of Cardiff City FC at heart and put his own money in when others ran away on more than one occasion. That we are here as a club today has a LOT to do with Steve Borley and those of us who were around during the truly dark days can testify to the monumental efforts Steve has put into the club and beyond!

To sum him up simply as a "knob" is massively disrespectful and (sorry) a little ignorant to the fact!

Annis

In Mike halls book where he discusses the whole affair he makes no secret of the fact that it was just business to them but once they were in they had to see it through to the end.
The difference is Steve always has had the club at heart and there is the difference as far as I am concerned. Everyone else has come into the club looking to make a fortune Sam the riddler etc but not Steve he has always been a fan long before any involvement as a director

Steve,I do agree Steve is a fan, in matter of fact he is a big fan,I have nothing against him or anyone else making money out of Cardiff City as that is business,just as long as they are honest about it

As to Mike Hall and Paul Guy there were business only 100%,No care for Cardiff City in my opinion.

As to Ridsdale, a football man,but in it for the money in my opinion.

As to Sam, a football man,loves the adoration of the fans,does love Cardiff City,24/7 when he is involved. Yes could of made money out of City,if he had been the one doing the new stadium. My personal opinion,Sam did not have his business head on for City and thats why it all went wrong and ended in tears.

Couldn't care less what he supposedly did in the past, I'll always remember him as the guy who helped sell our club down the river and actively abused fans wanting the blue back. Sell out scumbag
