What's in a name , 39th game !

Thu Mar 14, 2013 2:09 pm

Is this the long term goal for foreign owners ? Depending on who goes up this year there could be enough votes to ok the idea !

What’s in a name? Cardiff City, Cardiff Dragons, Cardiff Jones the Bakers? Does it matter what Malky Mackay’s team is called as long as they reach the Premier League’s

The Premier League – which has a strict approach to club finances post-Portsmouth – will be asking Tan to prove his investment is “sustainable”.

Assuming Tan meets League requirements, his belief that investors have the right to make whatever changes they deem necessary raises other, wider, concerns, such as the return of the spectre of the “39th game”, a round of fixures played overseas. As Harry Redknapp observed recently, eventually foreign owners will want to play matches in their own countries. Currently 12 of the Premier League’s 20 clubs are foreign-owned. Two more and the 14 required to pass significant measures will be achieved.

Is the future Cardiff Dragons v Liverpool Red Sox in Kuala Lumpur or Boston? Surely not, but a dozen years ago, when the Bluebirds were in the bottom tier at decaying Ninian Park, who could have imagined them on the brink of the Premier League, in a spanking new stadium, owned from Malaysia and wearing red?

History and tradition is far more important than premiership football.

They have 12 now , with tan at cardiff , Watford and hull having foreign owners and possibly playing in the prem next year they could have the numbers to push through the 39th game . As stated they need 14 !
I would put money on tan voting yes !

I would imagine our authorities will reject this which could result in the foreign owners moving on.
