2. The malaysians wont go for a carp as the main symbol of city for obvious reasons . They are very superstitious people and in malaysian culture the carp is a symbol of learning/trying to better yourself/GOOD LUCK . The carp in there culture turns into a dragon once it has achieved its goal . With city already having a dragon on there badge which was there choice they would see that as a backwards step which would go against everything they believe in and have achieved here allready .
Like i said in another thread read the story of the carp and the golden gates and you will realise its bollocks.

Unfortunately the majority of our fans are now like you and that's why Tan is getting away with it. If watching a successful team in red is all that matters to you, go and watch Man Utd you glory hunting plastic! I've been saying for months our blue away kit and Bluebird will go next, some of you laughed at me but now it looks like this is a strong possibility! I want my club back!

Wake up folks Football 2013 is franchise FC so deal with it or follow elsewhere. Look around all succesful clubs and you see the same, granted the rebrand was drastic but is aimed at far east and revenue raising.
How many on here bemoaning the changes bought club merchandise regularly? Wore blue to games? How many arrived early at the club and bought food/drink in the stadium and out money in the club??
Truth is the higher you climb the cost rises, the club isn't covering outgoings with current revenue streams hencpe looking to pastures new.
Plastic?? No just a realist.

Your post just proves even further that you're a plastic. All you've gone on about in that post is about us needing to become franchise FC to be successful. Well personally, I put my clubs identity first before success and many others feel the same. I will not deal with this and follow elsewhere, I will not give in to you plastics who only care about watching successful football whatever colour/badge we have. All I care about is watching MY club who I grew up supporting and falling in love with and that's Cardiff City - the Bluebirds, WHATEVER THE LEVEL!

Same players, same manager, same stadium, same city, if you class the whole of a club as a kit colour and badge then im afraid your deluded.

However to increase revenue our major benefactor sees potential in a re brand. If VT hadn't come along we could have ended up another Pompey. He saved us so i have no reason to mistrust his intentions.

VT has kept the creditors away, I will give him that. However, with the fact he has changed our colour and badge and with the possibility of our blue away kit and Bluebird getting removed altogether, how can you say you have no reason to mistrust his intentions? VT doesn't care about the fans or our club, he just cares about using us to make money.
I am the type of fan who puts my teams identity and tradition ahead of success. I would honestly rather be a Pompey fan, as my feelings are I would rather us struggle and battle as what we are - the Bluebirds playing in blue than succeed as something we're not - a red Malaysian franchise. This is just how I feel of course and I respect the fact you have differing feelings and emotions to me. I just don't understand how some fans can be fine with this simply because we are successful at the moment. But now you have said that in a perfect world, you would rather us stay blue with the same badge, I see you're not a glory hunter, so I apologise for calling you a plastic.

I used to think that we were a "proper" football club, with old fashioned values and respect for the game. The majority of posts on here represent the new brand of glory football - who gives a f**k what colour we wear, were top of the league.
To some of us, the club means more to them than just a bit of success.
The identity of the club has been taken away & looks to be further stripped this summer. The traditions of this fine club have been disrespected and I'm dead against it.
Cardiff City may be top of the league & 7 points clear, but it's not the same Cardiff City I fell in love with on the bob bank as an 8 year old.
