It is sad but In truth annis we all knew what was comming when the rebrand hit and WE ALL let it happen lets be fair, thats the sad truth :(


Ian, yes your right a few of us did and we said it then, but was shouted down all for Premiership glory, lost our pride/dignity and respect as a club.


I hate the red, hate the badge, hate what Tan is doing but let's be clear it's Tan who is the laughing stock not the Club or the fans. The fans have stuck by the Club because it is OUR Club and like marriage we are in for better or worse. Let's be honest, we were absolutely on our arse financially and therefore not really in a position to tell Tan to piss off. Plus, we had been so close to the promised land for so long in recent years most were prepared to take a chance on Tan. I don't think that equates to losing our pride or dignity. Tan is a madman, an idiot, a joke. None of that was clear when he first came in with the £6m to stave off the bailiffs and save our Club. If we had been a strong premiership club with lots of cash there is no doubt we would have told him where to go. :thumbright: :ayatollah:


Well said, We the fans need to fight and show OUR club is not a joke, The owner is.

No one knew this would happen and enough is enough.

Thought long and hard about this.

What Cardiff City has given me I will be truly thankful for.

To many on this board it has brought great friendships and long memories through long support through thick and thin.

My fondness has grown through something quite different.

If I'm honest I never was a great follower of any type of sport however what Cardiff City did for me which I will be forever thankful was repair a fairly broken relationship with my dad.

My dad by the way has always been Cardiff bonkers!

I have never seen my old man so sickened by the state of his and now (eventually) my beloved Cardiff.

I always worry for any club being taken over by egotistical billionaire oil arcs or similar because they eventually get fed up with their new toy before moving on... There are many examples of this across Europe.

Cardiff City is not purely a business or a toy for a billionaire it is a football club which is adored, cherished and respected by its fans so the fact that the owner has quite simply no appreciation of this is almost criminal to those who have given their support over the years through thick and thin.

By the way annis my dad agrees Phil Dwyer is a legend.

Agree about Phil Dwyer 100% player never understand why he didn't go to a 1st division club.

As for Tan don't you think he'll look an even bigger dick if Malky's still in charge and City get any kind of result tomorrow.

Advising Tan or is that not true
And for the record i too have come to my
Wits end with all that's been on TV today
It's a true road crash re Mr Cardiff City
What a nice guy and a true supporter of our club

This is it, the people who want glory can support the 'real reds' (Liverpool). There is still 50/50 split on Tan songs, but in my opinion songs are more affective right now as Tan may just chill during protests, but during games when he is watching, every ground should be aiming at him, making him feel like the visitor!

Absolutely.

I may be working 4000 miles away at the moment but I am amazed that so many fans rolled over and let Tan screw them over by removing our identity.

Where was this level of outcry when the rebrand happened? People were seduced by the promise of money. Tan pimped off our identity and now we are reaping the reward for allowing him to do it.

Managers will come and go but our identity is more valuable that Malky or any other manager and that has been stolen from us.

Utter disgrace.

However, here's what I would be doing if I was in Cardiff - I would be organising a march to put pressure on Tan to restore our identity NOT keep Malky.

Sorry I can't accept that we ALL let this happen
Red or dead scared a lot of people but it didn't scare me

I said at the time call his bluff
Tell him no way - have your red shirt as an away strip and f**k the beer mat badge off

Can't believe so many fell for the investment bullshit lies

We are now known around the world and if we keep our protests loud but peaceful we will attract the right investor to take us forward as our true club CCFC BLUEBIRDS - we play at home in blue and are the most passionate fans across all lands

Tell you what, any new owner who does eventually take us over and that is sure to happen, will have balls that would fill Tans trousers if insists on us not going back to our traditional colour/badge.

It must hurt the likes Of Dwyer like hell to see what we've become, he lived & breathed Cardiff City just like the one's who supported them in his era (we certainly never knew the word glory hunter), we were up there with Millwall & West Ham, loud, proud & on the road would look out for each other, every corner turned whether it be Bristol, Swindon, Forest, Charlton, etc it was always a relief if it was a sea of blue, it was our lot, our identity,how the fook can we forget that?
