Annis, at the moment the Malaysians are saving our club. Not only do they keep pumping money into the club per month for running costs, they have have also funded a lot more than that.

They are trying to put the club on sound footing again after Sam Hammam and Peter Ridsdale (Ex Wimbledon and Leeds Utd favourites) plunged the club into near extinction. A lot of this blame has to be put at the feet of these two men. What astonishes me is that people still easily brush this under the carpet.

I'm not saying I totally believe in the Malaysians but at the moment I'm extremely grateful that they are involved in our Club.

I certainly dont blame the malaysians for the current losses, maybe they should have sold a lot more players and not paid transfer fees for players and tried to stay up the last two years but personally im pleased they have continued to push for promotion and challange at the current end of the league.

We have made big cuts off the field since they took over, DJ gone, PR gone, PR's "pals" gone, Gethin Jenkins gone and I believe they made a few redundancies to cut unneeded off the field expenditure.

I doubt they want to spend the 1.5m a month on "waste" but if people have contracts they cant just rip them up. The only way to have stopped these losses would have been mass sales in the last two years.

One man to blame for me.

Well summed up. Yes he has done all this and yet some ungrateful fans still criticise him. :ayatollah:

Also these loses we occur are down the the current board and they are running our club so its up to them put it right, not us fans, we pay our money week in week out.
So please no more fan v fan any more its Cardiff City first, not owners etc. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I am 100% against the Rebrand we have been blackmailed :evil:

But let's not also start posts on here that are likely to start turning some people who come on this forum against our owners.

There has always been a divide with City fans and always will be, I remember the old Grange-end where you'd have half of the Valleys beating shit out of each other, Canton, Llanrumney, Ely, Docks, Barry and Grangetown lads having a go at each other but when the City scored everyone was of one again as one.

Some one from the club leaking out VT/TG's plans on all the internet mb's as you know, so the club called an emergency meeting, no fan did this, the club called it.

In a different context that is exactly what BigGwyn has been saying for days. Yes we can have our say on message boards and even send droves of fan representatives to meet with senior club officials, but at the end of the day Vincent Tan will call all the shots as he sees fit once he has dealt with Langston/PMG and taken control of the club 100%.

TBH Annis if VT is putting in £1.2m to prop the club up in the meantime then he is affectively doing his bit to sort out the 'losses'. The alternative is to sell players as you well know.


With all due respect Tony, Gwyn said something quite different in who the hell did fans think they were asking for consultation which is a bit different to what you are saying. Gwyn also said that Vincent would walk away if we opposed him. Anyway enough about that. If VT is as aggressive as you make out by planning to do whatever he wants, don't you think it time that we all unite under one banner and at least try and oppose any radical changes.If such changes are planned then I would rather at least try an oppose them rather that bite the pillow with arse up in the air waiting for whats heading our way. :ayatollah:

Let's be honest if Tan wanted red kits we would have them irrelevant of investment.

Who do u think is to blame that we are losing this kind of money ?


Everyone in charge from SH to the present are responsible for accumulating the debt. The big difference in my opinion is the Malaysians have the money to pay off everyone and own the club debt free, so to speak.

I still think this is what they will do but only when the time is right for them. Then they will mean business and us fans will be in for a roller coaster ride and very few people will be bothered about the red home shirt.[/quote]

i will be bothered about the red home shirt thats not going away with me mate.

Which is what we should be doing instead of throwing money at a problem that will never go away. We've been recklessly gambling for years, and keeping doing so will put us in an even bigger mess than we are now.
