It leaves a rather large sour taste in the mouth giving all the years SH denied being Langston .

It doesn't surprise that some on here won't even
criticise him for that .

ITKs will probably pretend they knew it from day 1 .

Why couldn't SH be honest and admit it ? It is no wonder that some will not forgive him for his half truths .

Well whichever way you look at it, it is finally good to see the back of the whole episode, it's gone on far too long and I'm sure we are all glad it's over.
Now to see whether Tan is as good as his word and converts the debt to shares as he as stated he would do. Whether you're a Tan arse licker, a Tan sceptic or a Tan hater, we all want what's best for Cardiff City Football Club.

It's been a great day for Tan actually. I am convinced he goes into these court cases to make life difficult for whoever is against him. The legal fees etc are a drop in the ocean for him, people forget he's worth over a billion pounds. A few millions is nothing to him.

This case proves one thing, Sam does not love Cardiff City or us supporters just like Tan.

In a bizarre twist, Sam Hammam contacted close confidant Annis Abraham on 17 December 2007 and dictated an open letter to Echo sports writer Terry Phillips. Hammam said: “I want to stress that I never want the football club back. I want to move on with my life and the decision has been made to leave the United Kingdom for good. I am never coming back. I am drained and I am hurting. I have lost my power. My wings have been taken away from me. All I want now is for everyone to get their money. I say again, I just want to get on with my life and be with my family. I am not Langston and I cannot tell it what to do. Langston got fed up with me long ago. I have no power over it. I never want to hurt Cardiff City and never would. I love the club, I love the fans and hopefully this will be sorted in the New Year. All I want is a future for Cardiff City Football Club, but I won’t be a part of it. I love the club and want the fans to remember me and love me.”

Lifelong Bluebirds fan Abraham commented: “While Sam was on the phone I asked him: ‘Are you Langston? Please be honest if you think anything of me.’ He told me he is not Langston and said he can’t tell Langston what to do. Sam was different to the man I have known in the past. He was quiet and sounded drained. He said he won’t ever try to hurt Cardiff City.”

The man should never be allowed into the CCS again, he'd get a far worse reception than even Tan. F***ing w***er.

The only thing it's done is prove that there is something very wrong with tan.

He came to an agreement, payed around £16m, then stopped paying with less than £6m left to pay. Then he goes to court and will now end up paying around £8m including costs. All that just to confirm what everyone already new anyway. The man is an absolute farking weapon :lol:

Despite what people think tan will want his wonga back to one day to its not free money we are given. There both business men after all and both will face abuse when it's tans turn to want his money back. That's football :bluescarf:

I will answer this and yes to this day Ive always maintained and Believed he was Langston and have said it a hundred times on here and in my books.

On this I feel he let me down.

I agree with you Tan is a weapon but he's got so much money he doesn't care. He does it to make life difficult for others, he knew he was going to lose he just want to make Sam sweat. He did it with Malky also. If you cross him he'll happily pay a few million to mess you around which is twatish but each to their own.

Don't beat yourself up Annis because in my opinion the only person who needs to take a long hard look at themselves is Sam Hammam. If today has shown us anything it's that this man is prepared to use and abuse personal friendships to his own ends.

This whole episode has cost our club a fortune and VT in particular but let's face the legal bill he is facing is nothing but pocket change to a billionaire, and VT probably thinks it's a price worth paying to out SM for exactly what he is.

Absolutely right mate and I've always believed managers, players and owners come and go but the lifeblood of football clubs is the fans - AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE.

As far as SH goes I hope he wakes up in the morning with a really bad dose of knob warts and has to spend every single penny of this Langston money searching for a medical breakthrough to cure him before his dick drops off.

It has certainly been one of the better CCFC days in a long while :bluescarf:

This is by far the best news I have heard for sometime. It's clear that the truth has come out as expected and Langstone was and is Sam Hammam.

Mr Tan has got what he wanted and looks clear to me that he only wanted to get this out.

Great news and not sure tan will wipe the debt we owe him

Absolutely right mate and I've always believed managers, players and owners come and go but the lifeblood of football clubs is the fans - AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE.

As far as SH goes I hope he wakes up in the morning with a really bad dose of knob warts and has to spend every single penny of this Langston money searching for a medical breakthrough to cure him before his dick drops off.

Cheers Gary, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS FOR THE CITY, U NEVER KNOW BEAT MK AND WE COULD BE GETTING CLOSER AND IN BLUE :bluebird: :bluescarf: :ayatollah:

Sam was no friend of Cardiff City ,no friend of anyone . Some of us were gullible and naive and basked in the glory of his so called celebrity,but he really was a liar a cheat and a total conman . A great day for Tan and hopefully we can get behind the club,now we have got rid of that pariah Sam Hamman.

Hammam said: “I want to stress that I never want the football club back. I want to move on with my life and the decision has been made to leave the United Kingdom for good. I am never coming back. I am drained and I am hurting. I have lost my power. My wings have been taken away from me. All I want now is for everyone to get their money. I say again, I just want to get on with my life and be with my family. I am not Langston and I cannot tell it what to do. Langston got fed up with me long ago. I have no power over it. I never want to hurt Cardiff City and never would. I love the club, I love the fans and hopefully this will be sorted in the New Year. All I want is a future for Cardiff City Football Club, but I won’t be a part of it. I love the club and want the fans to remember me and love me.”

Lifelong Bluebirds fan Abraham commented: “While Sam was on the phone I asked him: ‘Are you Langston? Please be honest if you think anything of me.’ He told me he is not Langston and said he can’t tell Langston what to do. Sam was different to the man I have known in the past. He was quiet and sounded drained. He said he won’t ever try to hurt Cardiff City.”



I will answer this and yes to this day Ive always maintained and Believed he was Langston and have said it a hundred times on here and in my books.

On this I feel he let me down.



Don't beat yourself up Annis because in my opinion the only person who needs to take a long hard look at themselves is Sam Hammam. If today has shown us anything it's that this man is prepared to use and abuse personal friendships to his own ends.

This whole episode has cost our club a fortune and VT in particular but let's face the legal bill he is facing is nothing but pocket change to a billionaire, and VT probably thinks it's a price worth paying to out SM for exactly what he is.

Cheers Gary, I've always been honest in what I've ever said and yes it does hurt that he lied to a good friend.

We have had a good transfer window in my opinion, even with the embargo, and if we can ship a few more out before 11 o'clock it will be the best one in years.

This is the third transfer window RS has had since joining the club which means the squad is his and his alone, in fairness to the guy come tomorrow morning the squad will look better, more together, more focused and anything is still possible.


But beating MK Dons is an absolute must.

Which Tan had to pay, bloody hell what a fool


Not as much as a fool as those who continue to defend Hammam who has treated our club with contempt. Tan has probably achieved what he wanted as he has totally discredited Hammam in the eyes of most thinking fans. He possibly feels that its money well spent.

Good news that the deal is now done. Not convinced the equity convertion will happen but let's wait and see.
It has certainly been one of the better CCFC days in a long while :bluescarf:


John, Thanks and I really hope we can go forward now :thumbright: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

The debt to equity should now be down more than ever :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
