i for one am anti-red but dont have a real problem with 'malaysia' on the shirt providing it brings revinue in. even if it just puts money in tans pocket it benefits us by default. but the tackyness and disrigard for the people who will be buying Cardiff City
merchendise proves to me that tan has done his sums he has around £10m in the bank from Season ticket sales and with the best will in the world he dont expect to make more than around £1m from shirts/merchandising so hes not arsed what goes in the shop. this is aimed at the peopl buying the red merchendise by the way. the stuff in that shop is shocking quality and desin. hes had your season ticket money. he got his mandate to do as he pleases and it definately dont please him to makle an effort for the fans. why bother? its the premier league money hes focused on

I don't want to go into the whole issue about his 'plan' or exchange comments about us becoming Malaysia FC bla bla bla but he spoke about generating interest and getting the Malaysian Government to eventually become involved and pay for the sponsorship. They would alter the sponser to 'Visit Malaysia'.

It would appear that this has now come to fruition. I believe that next seasons shirts will have 'Visit Malaysia' on them.

Whether we are receiving a fee is unknown and I suppose we won't know until the accounts are published for this financial year.

Shirt sponsorship in the premier league is big bucks so I can't imagine any businessman not taking advantage of this opportunity to generate, potentially, a few million pounds. I would be disappointed if it turns out that we have banked a grand total of f**k all for it.


VT's ultimate goal in Malaysia is a betting licence to run online gambling for all non-Muslim's in that country.

The UMNO party have been successfully returned to power at the recent General Elections but with a decreased over all majority. It appears the sizable Chinese ethnic minority (25%) have deserted the party in droves and they need to reach out to them.

Oddly giving the Chinese a legal way to bet is one of those ways.

So it wouldn't surprise me at all if VT has financed the 'Visit Malaysia' shirt sponsorship just so he gets his beloved licence in the not too distant future.




Smacks of good 'business sense' whichever way it is dressed up and that can only be good for Cardiff City FC :ayatollah:

Yet another Tan Plan comes to fruition :thumbright:

Hmmmmm... ;) :ayatollah:

Malaysia crap. :roll: Change your avatar mate if you feel that strongly. Not in any camp myself, but can't stand hypocrites.

Ahh so if I don't like the Malaysia crap I should stop supporting the club :lol: f**k off :lol:

The sponsor makes no difference.
I'd rather look like a Cardiff club then a welsh one anyway.

It's more than just a sponsor though, the purpose in it is to promote Malaysia, not sure if you've noticed the four massive Malaysian flags at each corner of our stadium. You can't honestly think we look like a Cardiff club right now...

Amazing to think that before the rebrand plenty of people including posters on here were happy to be seen with Malaysian flags on their persons.
Coventry away in particular

That's true. I was asked to 'give him a break' (in a genuinely polite sense) by a couple of people we know mutually, as I am told he isn't as stupid as he appears on this MB; just that he has entrenched himself and can no longer see the wood for the trees and ALWAYS wants the 'last word' no matter how daft, naïve or immature :(

It's a shame really but for someone apparently about to embark on university he has an awful lot to learn :(

Not at all, Jon but I could turn that question on you; given your responses to McPhail and others above ;)

If you check around the MB there are many 'humorous' comments and posts from me. Never seen one from you, mind ;)

TBH you appear to have alienated a lot more people than you think you have with your daft comments again but that is for them to deal with. I simply pointed out what I realised some time ago; that you are entrenched in your position and are unable to see the facts of the position we are in compared to a couple of seasons ago :(

Not going to get into a debate with you over it. We've done all that and we will never agree on the red/blue issue, so I prefer to let you fall out with others instead; something you do quite easily because you don't seriously 'consider' either the content or quality of your replies (as your 'tit-for-tat' spat with McPhail proves tonight) :(

I will, of course, give you credit where it is deserved on 'other' subjects (as I always have done ;) ) and hope you wise up to the fact that you cannot influence Tan in any way he doesn't WANT you to, if you know what I mean ;)

Over to you (as usual) but no response from me regardless of what you say. Tonight, McPhail (and others inc. Steve Davies, King Dong) have shown you up for what you are. JOB DONE! :oops: :lol: :lol: :wave:

So because I don't like this club being used as a markerting tool for Malaysia, I should stop supporting Cardiff City :lol: Logic. :lol:

You've never heard anyone with an issue until rebrand? Well you must've kept your eyes closed and your ears blocked, as fans have been complaining since before Malky came, only now fans are starting to get fed up.
