Tan and hull city chairman's interview on sky sports news

Didn't that guy make it so tan would have to buy the name cardiff dragons off him ? That guy who created like to companys with cardiff and dragons in them so tan couldn't change the name ?

In regard to damage limitation from Tan's point of view - If he was ever going to change the name to Dragons, he really should have done it along with the rest of the rebrand when we were up against the wall and in the Championship. Now he would just create the same level of ****storm all over again, but this time with ten times the media back lash.

he never did it then because he had nothing to offset it against.now he knows if half the crowd walked away as long as you were still prem and looking promising he could replace the ones who left with the promise of man utd and the like turning up.the better quality of player who arrives the less likely a large chunk of your fanbase will resist the change.the man has suckered people in .tan knows he can do what he likes and most will buy it.what are the odds at the bookies for the name change?there are people in your club who will know it,s not if but when.my opinion of course

Makes me laugh when people say Tan is trying to windup BU.

Strange behaviour from a billionaire "owner". I would say BU are getting under his skin.

Bu do get under his skin because he considers them to be ungrateful as in one of his press interviews with the echo.
i believe he uses every opportunity to have a dig at them and the name change is one of them

Lets be honest here, Tan is going to change our name and most fans dont care, they will put Glory over anything.

If our name goes so do i

Gareth, to me Cardiff City are being killed off already bit by bit by Tan, but this would be the last straw for me. It would break me, but I know Cardiff City in my heart would be finally dead.

Here we go lets get our knickers in a knot about hyperthetical shit again!!!!

Abandoning blue for red was hypothetical at one point. It didn't stop it happening. You either don't get it or don't really care. Our club is in the hands of a non football entity. Relegation is our only hope

Unfortunately changing the name to Cardiff DRAGONS will be a stroke of marketing genius, especially if we become successful and established at premier league level.
Growing up as a kid, I was a big Chicago Bulls fan,( played a lot of basketball mind) but that was down to some sort of success and marketing by the club and the NBA. If they were called Chicago city/town etc perhaps the appeal wouldn't be there.
What I am trying to say is that the premier league is now pushing its way into the American markets, with nbc sports, and the name DRAGONS would therefore become more appealing. ( but just not to us )

If the name changes I'm off defo no question

If the name changes I'm off defo no question

what if they change the name of the south west terror squad to south asia terror squad ?we,ll fight on fb brother

Sod the yanks. In a few years time they will hate soccer as they call it. We're Cardiff City the bluebirds.

I really can't believe you would want us to get relegated. Why do you bother going to matches (mind you I suspect you probably don't) if you want City to be beaten. You just can't make this up.

Unfortunately you are definitely correct in my eyes.

At the same time. If Tan was going to change it, he should have done it with the rest of the re-brand. That would have been better marketing. By doing it now, he will cause another chapter of pain and anger to those who care about the name/identity over all else. Now we are a PL side, we would have an even greater ****storm from the media too who would eat it up. Had Tan done it earlier when we were facing debt and looking closer to Championship relegation than promotion it would have been swallowed easier from a marketing point of view.

I don't think it'll happen any time soon, he's considered it but he knows that he'd lose a lot of fans and there's no logic behind it, the board members would ask what it brings due to United, Liverpool not having animals/mythical creatures in their official club name. People take thing's to heart so easily, he's a troll, the slightest thing and everyone cries.

There is logic behind a possible name change. Vincent Tan is building the biggest shopping mall in the world 38km from Beijing, with a catchment of over 100m people. Inside the mall are 3 rollercoasters and or waterslides one of which will be in the shape of a big red dragon. No prizes for guessing which premier club's shirts will be on sale there if there is a name change. We could become one of the richest clubs in football if some this happens. It will still be Cardiff City, playing in Cardiff. Now if the team relocated then that would be a different ball game, but a slight change to the name, we would still chant city and bluebirds. Our history doesn't disappear just because of a change of colour or name.

f**k THAT BULLSHIT. CHANGING THE NAME IS A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME. IT WILL BE LIKE SUPPORTING A DIFFERANT TEAM. I CAN HANDLE COLOUR CHANGE BUT I SUPPORT CARDIFF CITY NOT CARDIFF DRAGONS WHO THE f**k ARE THEY

Could be worse we could be sponsored by Wonga.

Would you close down this forum if it happened since it will be the last straw?

If there's anymore name changes surely you lads have got to stop going I would definitely.

A. There won't be a name change

B. Hull City Tigers. That has been taken seriously hasn't it? Radio Five Live refused to call them it recently and that would go for us too. The amount of overreaction on this board is cringeworthy

The amount of apathy to Tan's latest comments is cringeworthy. This man clearly sees this club as some sort of play thing to mould however he wants & the majority couldn't give a shit, as long as you get to watch premiership football.

The majority have managed to respect the traditions and identity of the club though, where as this loon seems to think he can just do what he wants with it.

I apologise for not wanting my club to change its name !!!!

it's hilarious and bizarre that Chuckles and many other whoppers have the audacity to criticise their own fans who allegedly only want Premier league football, who themselves watch Cardiff City in the Premier League. The hypocrisy of these buffoons is comedy gold

Yes, I still support the club - despite disagreeing with the decisions of the club. I didn't know that if you disagree with a decision, that you have to stop going...

In that case, when Ridsdale ripped everyone off with the Golden ticket scam, I suppose you stopped going?

Or are you just being a massive hypocrite?

Correct, I still go, but dont agree with the regime and I dont feel the same, but I am entitled to my views and opinions, if they become the Dragons then thats it for me, the Regime will have gone to far for me personally.

The hypocrisy is incredibly you think you're better than those who haven't been on a march or has accepted that for the time being we play in a different colour. Many of those same people including yours truly would still be following Cardiff City when we return to blue and if we dropped down the divisions, as we did for those long periods of time. The irony is, there would be a large percentage of those thousands of BU signatures who would soon turn their back on an ailing club

It works both ways Barry. Trust me, this is a fact

Yes, you're right.. Your hypocrisy IS incredible.

I don't think I'm better for fighting against a rebrand, each to their own, I'm just flabbergasted by the apathy towards a NAME CHANGE that has been rumoured for quite some time, mainly due to Tan's interviews.

& yes I'm personally amazed regarding the apathy of the colour change and the removal of the bluebird to something of an after thought...

Like him or not, the best thing CCFC can do is keep Tan away from any cameras and microphones, every time he speaks he causes controversy.

have they?

do they care?

im not putting cubs into crippling debt is good for anyone most clubs are in this position Roman Abramovich holds a £709 million pound loan over Chelsea plc. If he ever gets bored and asks for his money back that will kill the club.

most clubs are in this position

anyway back to the point in hand as per usual your posts are spiraling out of control, I never asked you to apologise for anything, bit pathetic that attempt. Im just asking why you thought that Cardiff City would be different from every other club owned by a mega rich person.
