Tan could tear this club apart and some of you would still back him.


So how did you show your back bone and pride?

By doing exactly what each and every one of us done but went to a few meetings with his finger up his arse saying they'd do this and do that but not do anything rational to fight what was happening, all whilst wearing a blue shirt as well,not to mention the meetings were a year later than they should have been

Maybe all those who renewed like myself will now see that Tan knows what he can get away with. He can do whatever he likes and we will still turn up in our droves and him our money.

No wouldn't be surprised at all, football is becoming more and more harsh recently in keeping jobs, Di Canio was never good enough yet had his transfer staff make the club fork out extrodinary sums to provide a new era at Sunderland, only to be sacked, what 3-6 games in?


Agreed though,Tan calls the shots and has done for sometime now. It's all about pushing us to the limit

We will all renew next summer regardless of what he does next, he could call us the Malaysian dragons and we'd still renew. That's the problem, he saw our ST sales rocket and thought "I am onto something here". Where blue and sing songs about blue all you want as long as you're there he couldn't give a monkies unfortunately.

Anyone who renewed or continued to buy match tickets and support the side - backed Tan and the changes regardless of what you say outwardly. Tan doesnt hear that.

In the quest for your premier league football fix, you have stood by and watched one man single handedly destroy nearly everything to do with Cardiff City and slowly watch him build a new club with new colours, a new badge, a new culture and if rumours are to be believed a new name.

I was gobsmacked years ago as CantonMagic at the lack of any resistance and told you all then how it would transpire, much to my detriment as usual. I was even more gobsmacked when fans actually tried to make out that the ones saying how sad a situation it was... Were actually jealous :shock:

I gave you suggestion upon suggestion how to handle it after our experience with Petty and even did the math as to why you wouldnt have to fold as a club which was later backed and vindicated by your director. Im afraid now its too late, he has slowly replaced the ones having none of it with happy clappers and they now make the majority and the real fans now have no say what so ever, they are as Tan describes, the irrelevant minority customer base.

The man has the backing of fans and the fear of the board - he has you by the bollocks and it was all welcomed. I wont believe anyone who says they didnt see this coming. Everybody knew but the lure of watching the big clubs proved too strong. Im sure i dont have to get out my anti fur protester wearing fur on the weekends analogy again.

Ill watch with interest.

Where have I said that I have? :?

Since you ask, I've set up a protest group, chaired two public meetings, written a petition with over 1,000 signatures, appeared on Radio Wales several times to discuss the issue... There's only so much you can do when the vast majority disagree with you. :thumbup:


I didn't say you had, I was asking you a question based on your damning indictment of your fellow Cardiff city fans. Surely if you feel that strongly then the most effective protest would be to withdraw your support by not attending matches? Actions not words?

Just wondering that's all.

Roathie iv'e already pointed this out, your wasting your time. Everyone who renewed financially backed TAN and his RED vision, me included.

Agree exactly with your stance. All of us backed the plan, if more than 90 wanted a refund and went into the 10k figures then Tan would think oh wait maybe I shouldn't do this, maybe I should just f**k off? But we conducted polls and they backed the re-brand etc. He doesn't take in mind the emotional feeling of some fans, he just takes in the stats on the balance sheets on how much fans bring in.

Indeed they did.

Although i felt the need to reiterate it considering it was this viewpoint that got me banned as CantonMagic and thus Roathie was born.

Why do you assume i care that you know what you are talking about? Blabber about nonsense all day for all i care.

You engaged me in conversation, not the other way around. If you want to discuss something then it would help if you actually had a point, or at least knew vaguely what you are attempting to type.

That's your way of ignoring a point when it doesn't fit your frame of reference. Actually, if you look back i didn't engage you I merely commented. I didn't expect a reply.

:lol: yeah because your point is so obvious to all... So to help out us mere mortals who cant decipher meaningless twaddle... what was your point exactly? More than happy to discuss it. You aimed your twaddle at me afterall - and you will always get a response, im not ignorant. However it helps to know what you are talking about for a debate or discussion to ensue.
