" New chairman - latest update & Langston/Tan deal "

Getting back on topic I'm up to my old 2 + 2 = something or other theories again and wondering if Mehmet Dalman is the real reason behind the rebrand?

The other day in an interview VT definitely mentioned it was possible to make money out of a football club and quoted the 'Glaziers' as an example.

Mehmet Dalman was involved in brokering the deal for Man Utd and I just wonder if he might have mentioned that they were the model to follow and the very first thing we needed to do was play in red?

Tony

I believe mehmet was the obvious choice because mr lim was never going to cut the mustard as chairman. Tan needs someone with experience based over here who has knowledge of the premier league.
I hope they don't follow the glazier example of taking millions out of the club each year through the back door

Thought I had something there

Your explanation makes a lot of sense.

What your saying is you welcome all debates as long as its within your agenda?

If that was the case Peter then quite a few subjects on here would only here the one side such as :

1. Sam Hamman
2. The colour blue
3. Dave Jones (RIP)

You will find on here that all the above have been represented by both sides.

Peter, I like to discuss what's in the topic, surely?
But you seem more interested in how Carl gets his info.
So right fire away, or infact start another topic on Carl, Uve ruined this one any way.
As you know I won't be saying where the info comes from, the same as Steve Davies would not say where his comes from and I Respect that.

Annis this topic was about the statement of Terry Phillips in the Western Mail' read my first statement Annis to be fair the article discussed was Terry Phillips article in the western mail which included the naming rights figure. Surely we can discuss what we like in any thread, free speech remember ? And now all of a sudden Mikes board is a snipers board? Aren't you snipping with that statement? Not one word about Carl all I stated was that if there is something in the article then it should be allowed to be discussed . Where have I asked where Carl had his info? there were four people on the thread before discussing the settlement figure so don't have a pop at me saying what I should say or what I shouldn't I've ruined no topic you came on with your paranoia about Carl being shafted again. Every time you go on the defensive you come up with info from the horses mouth so to speak but never no proof If Steve Davies was stupid enough to come on here with info from the board room i wouldn't give the time of day to Steve Borley but i doubt that he would But i tell you what any director or associate of a director that leaks information from the board room especially for their own gain isn't worth a cupful of cold water in my eyes

Why can't people have the sense just to drop subject? and not answer other person whoever is right or wrong has gone out of the window in this debate, especially when people have agendas against people and topics! Very common on this board at moment!

Both sides ? Surly were allowed discussions on any topic without taking sides? I don't give a rat's arse about cliques or itk or he's my mate i'll defend him with his argument whatever . Cant we all give our point of view without a battle of the group's

That's what i'm trying to say

So what does everybody think of Mehmet Dalman being appointed chairman ?

And that Langston will receive a minimum of £22m from the deal settled by Vincent Tan ?

Sounds exciting. The club is gearing up for the next level on all fronts

Massive steps forward Nathaniel.

Steps towards a debt free club.

Dalman has been involved in negotiating big investment deals in the past and maybe he will help bring in more investment for ours.

No having a pop at your statement but this 22m you speak of, is this hearsay or have you seen the documents of the agreement ?

I have not seen any documents.

I am going on what Terry Phillips has written.

On an internet forum with all its hidden ids......no chance.

I know I more than get off on the wrong foot most of the time but we should have a chat sometime. I'm not that bad in real life, if just a bit mischievous lol

Spot on Ian,

There has been fair debates on everything, everyone has had their say.

Mehmet Dalman sounds just what we need.An experienced business man and a deal maker but above all someone who knows about football.Sams also been sorted,things are looking good for City.

Tan has decided the amount and its him that has to pay the debt, not me or you but Tan. It is nothing anyone of us could have decided or paid so why worry about it?

We have a new chairman, hopefully he will be good for the club, so lets give the bloke a chance and see where his ideas take us.

Spot on. The new chairman certainly has an impressive business background and happens to love his football so seems to be a perfect choice. Hopefully less stressful and more enjoyable than his last role as Chairman at ENRC

Think borleys on borrowed time now
Imo (only my oppinion) he will be the next one gone

Its ludicrous to suggest that Sam Hammam did not lie through his teeth when he was
here, we all know he did. So do the Brotherhood of Sam. But they will only ever say
he made Mistakes. So they are gullible. To me that leaves anything they say wide open to scepticism.
When it comes from Sam, the truth will be at best foggy. Borleys a different matter. He just spouts off when he's
pissed (and shouldnt) but nobody really doubts his word

Theres lots ofways to take money out of clubs legally but dubiously through contracts??????

So what does everybody think of Mehmet Dalman being appointed chairman ?

Carl, this appears to me to be a defining moment for this club's history...and a positive one at that!

Not too sure about the new Chairman but I will take his recruitment by the astute Vincent Tan and his experience in the Premier League as a positive


With regard to the £22m, the positives IMHO are threefold:

1: The removal of the 'uncertainty' that was the Langston issue, allowing us to plan for the future without the worry of external hindrance and/or threat (and congratulations to all involved for that)

2: The opportunity to allow Vincent Tan to fulfil his wish/promise to 'float' the club on the Far Eastern Markets, which will wipe out current 'debt' at a stroke so far as the new Premier League Rules are concerned

3: In my eyes most importantly, the alleged monies paid to Langston plus the monies apparently available to recruit new players plus the stadium expansion plan all suggest to me that we will need to survive in the Premier League for some time in order to truly 'balance the books' and all of the above suggests that Vincent Tan is here for the long haul and on a mission to make Cardiff City FC a team which can/will compete


We are all aware now that Vincent Tan is a very shrewd operator and like him or loathe him he has not only brought our club back from the brink, he has transformed it into one with an incredibly bright future and after 50+ years we cannot/must not underestimate what has been achieved

Here we go again

Sad hey.

Yes it is sad, we have 2 factions here don't we? Sam, Carl, you and chums on one hand Steve Davies, Borley and chums on the other and the constant bickering does this forum nor Cardiff City Football Club any good at all. We are in The Premier League now, why on earth can we not all enjoy the ride while it lasts rather than have this constant bickering and point scoring on all sides. All this nonsense with Carl giving news and updates and when he gets it right you saying yes you were right carl doesn't help either because then you have the other side waiting for his big mistake and revelling in making him look an idiot. If Carl or you or anyone else want to give good news or bad or even just rumours that's fine but please leave it at that. What's the point in gloating when you get it right if you cant take the stick when you get it wrong. Bit of advice just give the info and forget the gloating when Carl happens to get things right and likewise try not to rise to the wankers taking the piss when the info is wrong. Cardiff City are at the beginning of a wonderful journey just enjoy it everyone please.

It's not about factions at all. I don't come on here trying to update anybody or claim to be in the know. My last two involvements were the paul guy incident and just pointed out that the wanyama offer had never been accepted by Celtic. The night that deal was being touted on here and by Jamie on mikes board it clearly stated on celtics website that they had rejected any bid from Cardiff.
As I have said many times before this site is a good earner I would have thought for its owners and the updates and rumours are all part and parcel of keeping that income up.
Now SAMs back involved at the club I would expect the updates and accurate info to step up a gear over the coming season because SAMs past history over the Langston debt shows he is more than happy to share info with certain people

Here we go again

No your just borleys puppet and a red one at that, and because it omens from red bird Borley everyone believes you, even though he has made millions out of City

If Steve is Borleys puppet then I shudder to think how far up his 'boys' arses Sam has got his fist
What little I know of the Clubs accounts i cannot figure out where Steve Borley has come out of
it on top. Hammam is walking away with close to £20m for his ''employers'' You've just
got to hope they give him a few quid eh?

It is £15 Mill down, but it's a lot more than £7 mill over the coming years.
Making it way past the initial £24 mill.
Tan did the deal.

So what your saying is Sam got his money and then some.Not a bad outcome for leaving us in the brown stuff.

Is being top of the Championship with six points clear, a squad worth millions and outline planning permission for a new stadium what you describe as the brown stuff

Do you think those that stepped in, stepped in to rescue us from this brown stuff because they were such caring big City fans, or they knew there was a buck in it for them?

Its ludicrous to suggest that Sam Hammam did not lie through his teeth when he was
here, we all know he did. So do the Brotherhood of Sam. But they will only ever say
he made Mistakes. So they are gullible. To me that leaves anything they say wide open to scepticism.
When it comes from Sam, the truth will be at best foggy. Borleys a different matter. He just spouts off when he's
pissed (and shouldnt) but nobody really doubts his word

Obviously, and he was so bad that VT decide to give hime all this money as a goodwill gesture from the bottom of his heart, especially after so many reckoned he wouldn't get a penny and the Forensic accountants would get to the bottom of it.

What loan notes three, obviously a figment of Sam's imagination, it's just that VT is feeling charitable.

Getting back on topic I'm up to my old 2 + 2 = something or other theories again and wondering if Mehmet Dalman is the real reason behind the rebrand?

The other day in an interview VT definitely mentioned it was possible to make money out of a football club and quoted the 'Glaziers' as an example.

I believe mehmet was the obvious choice because mr lim was never going to cut the mustard as chairman. Tan needs someone with experience based over here who has knowledge of the premier league.
I hope they don't follow the glazier example of taking millions out of the club each year through the back door

Some would argue that as long as you are continually winning the Premeir league with a large margin then they can take as many millions out the back door as they like. Steve, I agree with a lot of the stuff you write but picking on Man U as a bad example is a bit daft really don't you think.

Tan has decided the amount and its him that has to pay the debt, not me or you but Tan. It is nothing anyone of us could have decided or paid so why worry about it?
