One thing I don't understand is, if you don't support Cardiff why would you be remotely interested in what is written on the front of our shirts? Personally, I would much prefer the name of a country than say a betting/casino company or payday loan company.![]()

Not had a single logical response yet. My point is that when you're clearly so worried about selling out to the Malaysians (practically every post on your board is about the colour change) then nothing says you have sold out more than the big letters spelling out Malaysia. It's exactly what your chairman wants...for the sponsor actually to instead look like the players are representing Malaysia. That is the real issue that i would be truly embarassed about if i were you.
When you have a betting company or whatever else, it actually looks like a sponsor as oppossed to the country which your chairman wants you to represent.
Not expecting anything other than a hostile response, but you know i have a point. It just amazes me that you don't seem bothered by it. If Swansea had something similar then i'd be gutted but i dont think the fans or board would accept it.

This argument is nearly 30 years out of date. I can remember the outcry when shirt sponsorship first came in back in the 1980's and at one time games weren't going to be shown on the BBC because of it.
Shirt sponsorship is just that 'sponsorship'
Of course our Chairman wants the viewing public to see it, he paid for the privilege last season. Rather than being embarrassed I think our Chairman is being very shrewd for a number of reasons by having that logo.
If the perception is we are 'representing' Malaysia then so what? We are getting £100m in return and that is almost up there with the Man U's and Arsenal's.
Nice try mate but as pointed out you have your own personal problem in that I wouldn't be seen dead on a Swansea site yet your so fascinated (& by association) jealous of Cardiff City you can't help but post on one of our forums.![]()

With 90m debt or whatever it is then you must've felt you had no choice but to bend over for tan...but you shouldn't kid yourselves that your deal is anything like Arsenal's. Arsenal are a well managed club with a profit. Best thing you could have done is not panicked with all the debt, found a proper investor who listens to the fans and then there might be something about your identity that says cardiff city and not malaysia red dragons. i know some of your older fans will be probably agree with me despite not admitting it. The big malaysia sign over the tunnels on your promotion night summed it up for me.
anyway good luck next season...Hope you can do Wales proud like the Swans have.
