SB kept the club going when it could have died.From what I know it would have been very easy for him to walk and he was probably tempted at times.To reach financial stability and a future have had to come through hammam and risdale and pmg. We now have Mr Tan who has finally delivered these things (rebrand another issue)but we wouldn't have got here without SB.

Nobodys giving steve flack here or doubting anything that steves done for the club in the past, i've only asked one question and he's answered it , im starting to think people read things with there captain birdseye pirate patch on one eye these days after seeing the thread headline and scrolling down missing everything said :lol: :ayatollah:

Fair enough.
I read the thread but my comment was aimed a little wider as there were one or two posts yesterday which were way out of order.

Maybe Steve won't want to be here for much longer and hopefully will get a decent pay out and be happy to leave to concentrate on other things?

I hope he is given the due respect he has earned. I hope Mr. Tan gives Steve a position within CCFC as he has done with Sam Hammam. Steve Borley deserves this for all the propping up of the club when we were down and out.

Re: Steve Borley - The last survivor

There was something on here a few months back about Borley retiring? Could that coincide with the buy out.

I agree grampy, if he does go from the boardroom then he should remain within the club in some role for his many years of service :malky:

Not so much a lure its something I was told on the date I started this thread that tan was trying to buy them all out, why I asked steve which he replyed to most of it, sometimes he replys to threads to him some he don't, pot luck. :ayatollah:

Who knows but i think he might knock it on the head if tan buys him out, does tan have a thing where he can force shareholders to sell once hes got a certain percent of the club as he would already own a bigger percentage than any other hmmm :ayatollah:

Tans target market is the Far East . Not sure he gives a f**k what the locals think

Re: Steve Borley - The last survivor

Sat Sep 07, 2013 8:03 pm

I don't think Tan cares about having local representation on the board, and if that person is evidently someone who failed to save our colours or badge, then I can't say I'm fussed about it either.

The way I look at it Ian regarding Steve's situation is that as a director or stakeholder in the club having someone like Tan on board outweighs any disadvantage that is present. If I was in a directors shoes I would be quite happy to go along with it all specially if I was looking for a way out. If I was wanting to stay I would then keep quite and wait for the right time. I would not rock the boat.

However I am not a director but just a fan so my priorities are different. I personally feel the directors are in it for themselves and not the health of the identity of the club. Saying that I can make tolerances for Steve but the rest of them I have no leeway for.

A thread on Michael Isaacs would be a good idea. He seems to have been around forever, not sure if I'm right here but didn't he first appear around the time David/Clive Sullivan tried to buy us out in the 1990's?

He has stayed right through the Sam years as well as the PMG/Peter Ridsdale asset stripping trip of the mid-Noughties. Ian Duncan-Smith once labelled himself the 'quite' man of politics, I suppose Michael Isaacs could be the Cardiff City version of a 'quite' man.

Second largest shareholder tony but I remember he lent money to the club at 20% Interest which blots his copybook for me. Also whilst tan is trying to buy up all the shares of major shareholders I bet Michael will refuse to sell his as he can see a return on his investment.
