However, some people say he has stripped us of our history and identity.
Fact is, (and these are facts) that our history will always be there, that cannot be changed.
Our identity has not been stripped either, we have been given a new one.
We are now seen as a premiership side, in a new stadium with a massive financial backer.
We have been winning awards as a family club and it just so happens we now play in red.
I have not warmed to the idea of playing in red, but it has got easier.
I used to feel we would get our blue back, but I don't anymore.
Still, we are Cardiff City FC, and as long as it say's that on the tin (no matter what colour) that will do for me.

So No I will never give Tan Respect for that, in my opinion end off. Nothing will change my mind 100 trophies would not and that's my feelings,belief,opinion.
It might not bother you lot and that's your choice.
I will support my team if they won or lost every game and were relegated through every division, I hope everyone else will as well. 9 years in the 4th Division I never missed a game home or away.
I have total Respect for Tan in the Business world.![]()
Also I don't understand why our fans could not have have stayed Blue and done that type of Protest, that would not have hurt our club one bit, in fact probrambly earned more Respect from our players and around the world.

Sorry Cardiff City is not a democracy unless of course you can come up with a £100 million.

Was having a word with my mate about this I said to him the only reason he has picked red is that Man Utd , Liverpool and Arsenal wear red ,I said if they all wore blue then he wouldn't of changed us.
As you say he could of been a hero here but , hes lost my respect for what hes done to our club stripping our club of our identity. Yes I wanted Premiership football(I'm not going to lie and say I'm not happy we are there) but I would of rathered we did it without this pointless rebrand and we went up in our rightful colours.
If he changed us back to blue I would respect him

Annis I keep seeing this from you and you never seem to mention the Asian market angle. Tan has said that the colour red is deemed to be lucky in the Far East and therefore he believes the club would be more attractive to a part of the world he knows very well. This is the main reason he has given not simply that he personally thinks its lucky. I know how much this means to you but please don't pretend that you have never heard of his intentions to grow this club overseas. I don't believe for a second you think this is purely a personal ego thing by Tan. Changing a brand is a big thing that impacts on people and he has admitted that. Everton have tried to modernize their badge for commercial reasons and 20,000 fans couldn't see any reasons to justify change. We are a very different club to Everton and as hard as it is to accept the majority of our fans have decided not to protest against Tan's changes as we want success, security and an owner who has a plan which goes far beyond a personal liking for red as you seem to want to believe.

Just read 3 football magazines and 2 Spanish ones, not one give us Resoect for the stripping of our identity, all say we will fail in the Asian Market unless we win trophies in the Premier league, colour means nothing, success means everything.
