I've got to agree to be honest. This racial abuse was absolutely disgusting and it reflects badly upon us all just for associating with someone who'd say things like that and then spread lies to try and make themselves appear innocent

I was appalled initially at the thought of losing our nickname of the Bluebirds and our blue strip but over the last 24 hours or so had come around to the idea simply because of the promised £100m. Reading the comments on the forums it seems that a lot of other fans had gone through the same process. I was hopeful that perhaps a compromise could be found to at least keep the Bluebird.

4. None of this has been handled very well and there are lessons to be learned by all parties but we as fans have to get the message over to TG and VT that we are prepared to talk and we are prepared to listen to what they have to say. If they are serious about the £100m we have to listen but we are also entitled to put forward our point of view regarding the things that are so precious to us. There has to be a middle ground. There has to be a way forward.
5. It doesn't help when some "more prominent fans" openly declare that they don't trust the Malaysians, who to be honest have always acted with honesty and integrity. The person who leaked this news before TG had a chance to outline the plans to us has a lot to answer for.
6. Let's hope we can persuade the Malaysian investors that most of us are reasonable and well mannered people like themselves. I'm sure this can be worked out but how can we best get this message across to them?![]()
But there weren't that many reasonable people coming out and expressing their views over the last few days and this gave the impression that the vast majority were supporting the agenda being peddled here.

I think that the people in charge need to take the blame for that. Yesterday it was almost encouraged that people make millions of threads shouting down the pro Malaysian people while praising some of the posters that were abusing us.

Annis , I am glad that you are now saying you will not tolerate racism or threats on this messageboard , but why have you tolerated it for so long from regular posters ?- It has been a regular feature of this board for ages - not brought to your attention on facebook -, yet anyone who objects to it is shouted down because it is a "lads` forum". Lads or not , why has blatant racism and threatening behaviour been allowed at all.?
And are you intending to name and shame the posters concerned or ban them unless and until they mend their ways? You don`t say in your post. They do , this board , or City fans in general no favours at all.

This forum has been a disgrace and nothing was done about it because it suited the agenda of the egomainiacs.
