Of course I was supporting Cardiff before Sam came onboard and it's clear that we wouldn't be at the !evel we're at now, if it hadn't been for him, but the same as you jump on the level of debt having increased under VT, it also increased significantly under Sam!

The difference being, that VT hasn't left us in the shit financially as yet, whereas Sam did![/quote]

Very True and Let's hope he does not,

But the Rebrand is why I can not forgive Tan.[/quote]
Sam did his own bit of rebranding and at least I only have to do a round trip of just under 200 miles ATM and not have to book flights or ferries to watch us play in Ireland, as I would have to have done, if Sam had got his way! :D[/quote]

Loved Sam, as at the time he was the only one to come along and put money and energy into the club, he then bit off more than he could chew and blew it and he inadvertently left the club exposed. He was a blessing at the time, however you look how Swansea got to where they are and there's no reason that we couldn't have done it the same way. I have forgiven Tan as he was totally misguided by many at the club looking after themselves. I think it's sad that you Annis at your age, cannot do so as well especially as he is doing everything to put it right. He doesn't have to, he could quite easily put pride in the way and see us rot. Sam, when he was hurt wanted to see us go to the wall and closed down! yet you have happily forgotten and forgiven that :thumbup:

Gratitude for the man who took us out of the doldrums.

I'll take your word for it mate, but my understanding is he wanted to do the same to us!

It's obviously irrelevant now anyway, but as good as the ride might have been with him for some, he still left us in a dire mess financially! :ayatollah:

As I debate with Annis regularly when I defend Tan to him its relative. Yes we had greater debt post Sam than before but we were worth a lot more than that piddly joke of a club (that I loved) who were struggling in the bottom league occasionally getting promoted then relegated again pretty quickly.

Tan had no choice but to turn us back to blue. The support was walking away and he could not risk the black mark on his character. Also its a myth that he was misguided like some of us thought. There were those that advised Tan not to turn us to red and who are no longer at the club.

I will agree with you that some just look after themselves though. Hopefully when Tan goes they will go as well.

True sam haman spent loads of money and started us on the way . But to me the point is this the more money he spent the more money Langston made from the loans and with the money that was thrown around a monkey could have done it
