Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan hopeful over Langston debt

Owner Vincent Tan is hopeful Cardiff City can reach agreement with creditors Langston over the club's debt.

The debt to the Langston company, taken out in 2004, is believed to be in the region of £24m.

Langston's spokesman Sam Hammam, the former Cardiff owner, was a guest of Tan for the 1-1 home draw with Bolton.

"We are still talking and trying to find a solution and I'm sure we will find an amicable solution that is good for Cardiff City," Tan said.

"We have some issues with Sam Hammam over this Langston thing. I've met him and we are talking and I've invited him to come. Sam Hammam is here as my guest and as my friend."

Controversial businessman Hammam brought an end to his six-year tenure as City chairman in October 2006 after agreeing to sell his majority share holding.

Yea it is amazing to think that Sam has been gone longer than he was actually Chairman/owner.

That's why I hope things can be worked out between him and VT. Whatever you think of SH there is a debt which the club has vowed to honour, I hope that happens soon.

I'm not a fan of Sam but hope things can be sorted and Sam is happy with the deal, it's time to move on.
