If bluebirds unite wants a compromise and some blue back then tidy, but if its full blue return then it's bad news for Ccfc in the long term.
The club is moving forward and going places now be sad to lose all that just because of a colour

They're going for a full return to blue as far as i know, and i disagree with everything else in this post.
I do think going for fully blue is the best route, I don't think VT leaving would be a bad thing now that we're in the Premier League, and if we do go backwards again over a colour it would be totally worth it in my opinion, we can always build to get up to the Premier League again, the right way this time. But as i said, i dont think it would come to that as now were there, i don't think we necessarily need VT.

So you don't think we necessarily need a billionaire? You know of any billionaires in waiting who could replace him and pay the transfer fees wages stadium expansion state of the art training ground etc? Let me know now id love to know maybe id change my opinion then?

Don't need big transfers, i'd rather be like most other clubs in the league who manage without a billionaire owner, either sign players on frees or affordable fees, and still have our identity in tact.
If that makes it harder to stay in/get back to the Premier League then so be it, at least we'll have done it the right way. Most other clubs in the league manager to survive without a billionaire owner and every other club manages to do so without discarding their identity/tradition, we should be able to do the same.

You ain't got no ambition but if identity and being blue is more important to trying to be the best we possibly can then that's up to you.

Yeah it's definitely more important mate, to me anyway, as a supporter i don't feel more passionately about the club if were in a higher division, i feel the same in any division, but i do feel more passionately about the club when they have the identity i grew up supporting, i know not everyone feels that way.![]()
Of course I would like to be in the Premier League too, but my point is that plenty of clubs have managed to get there without having a billionaire owner that rebrands the club, sure its harder without the billionaire yeah but far from impossible, i'd rather take my chances with a different owner personally and still have the identity in tact.

trouble is here bricky is that some fans call losing the blue home shirt losing its identity wheras most people i talk to see the identity as the name of the club and as long as they are watching cardiff city in cardiff city stadium in cardiff they can live with the shirt colour change albeit reluctantly in some cases.
thats the problem bluebirds unite have in my opinion wheras any hint of a name change and the opposition to tan would go through the roof

football fans want to identify with success and especially at this club where most fans have never seen the club at the highest level. The brighton free scarf take up was a huge shock to me and since that time its obvious the vast majority of fans ( season tickets sales show this IMO) have accepted the shirt colour in exchange for success.
I believe the majority of the fan base would love to see the club back in blue but not at the expense of alienating tan and thats the size of the task facing bluebirds unite.

Whilst we are grateful for the help and success that has been bought to the club, we ask that you reconsider the recent re-brand and allow us to celebrate Premiership success under our TRUE IDENTITY as Cardiff City Bluebirds.

Like I said, the only first hand encounters he gets with anti-rebrand opinion is hearing songs in the stadium and there haven't been too many of them, and he was at the Brighton game when the stadium was a sea of red.
Other than that he's surrounded by yes men who tell him what he wants to hear, so he has no real idea that people care this much. He thought his move would be accepted and he hasn't had any real reason to believe it isn't accepted - he proved this delusion when he said that it was only a tiny minority of fans were against the rebrand.
