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.



:bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:


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.

But I have always said Cardiff City comes first before any owner or manager etc :thumbright: :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :bluebird:



Annis, you certainly seem to have a warped morality in all this? You seem to be happy that Tan, who you hate is being made to pay off a debt to a man, who has bare faced lied to you and in turn thrown any claims of friendship in your face. A man, in fact who ran up debts, that we thought he was personally covering, yet when the chips were down refused to. Yet, constructed a lie, that he had been able to secure a loan, from outside investors to pay off his debt. Yet, as we now know, that loan was made by himself to himself, which in turn the club, you so love has had to find a way of paying off. Yet, you still side with that man and no doubt still think of him as a friend? and just because this particular owner (Tan) through his own naivety and with the support of the board of so called Cardiff loving fans, changed Cardiffs colour and badge. You really have a warped sense of morality IMO :roll: :roll:


We'll said!
