' CARDIFF CITY BIG ANNOUNCEMENT '

Who gives a shit, how about just enjoying our new players entering the fray???!!!

I dislike Tan as much as many other fans but if he does actually make good on his promise to covert the debt to shares then it would go a long, long way to making up for the damage caused by the rebranding. As it stands the massive debt hangs heavy over the club like a big black storm cloud threatening its very existence. If it is substantially removed it would be like a the cloud had lifted and the sun had come out once more. If this one action happened to coincide was with an upturn in form on the pitch and a charge into the play offs it would do more to restore the good feeling at the club than anything.

They're probably just knocking a quid of the price of a pint though.

March is when accounts are officially given in for everyone to see. maybe putting 2 + 2 together but sounds like thats what it is

The filing deadline for accounts of a private limited company is 9 months after the year end so , in CCFC`s case , by the end of this month. I expect to see them published before the final date for filing.

Interesting, Keith. I guess the 'big announcement' must be something else, then? Intriguing!

I may have missed it, but did you post an opinion/assessment on yesterday's proceedings? I would be interested in your thoughts on the matter

My honest (and some may say overly blunt) opinion is that neither side to the argument came out of the settlement covered in glory. It has been a long episode like two little boys arguing in the school playground about who has got (rather than who is) the biggest dick.

The end result is that Sam Hammam has got a substantial payment against a debt that was rightly due to him/Langston but that the payment was less than he was claiming and he has incurred a big legal bill which he will not recover in reaching that settlement. On the other side , Vincent Tan has also run up big legal fees and ended up paying what appears to be most of the debt amount that appeared in the club`s books when this could have been done several months ago. All this nonsense about the non-disclosure of who Langston really is has been a waste of time and money just to try and appease the huge egos of two parties who have allowed those egos to override business common sense.

The only people who appear to have benefited from this are the lawyers by way of substantial fees. I don`t blame them for this - if someone instructs me to spend loads of my time using my professional knowledge (to the extent anyone thinks I have any !) no matter how strong or weak a case I think they have , then I am happy to do so provided I give them best advice at all times. If they wish to ignore that advice and carry on regardless , that is their choice.

Keith

Thank you, Keith

I sincerely appreciate your refreshing honesty (as usual) and I cannot help but agree with your analogy that neither side have come out of this with any real credit and/or gain that could have been sorted some time ago

With regard to the supposed "Big Announcement" in March, to my knowledge no one actually 'knows' what it might be, so we are (as usual) left to surmise. That being the case, I cannot see it being linked to 'Debt to Equity' as (if I remember previous comments correctly) it was stated that conditions weren't right as the club currently stands

Is that correct?

IMO debt to equity would be no good to us as a club if we are not on a solid self sufficient financial basis
Just look at Bolton
Thier owner just wrote off Thier alledged £185 million
But Thier still in the shit

Exactly!

Cardiff City if promoted to the Premier League will make all season tickets free to current season ticket

Kevin McNaughtons testimonial perhaps? That seems to have gone quiet

Cardiff City if promoted to the Premier League will make all season tickets free to current season ticket

That'll shift a few half season tickets

swapping the canton and family stand back over that be the best thing they can do
