CCFC and the summer of 2013 so far.....

Wed Jul 10, 2013 2:48 pm

This is not a Red v's Blue or a post regarding the re branding of the club, but I have seen posts on here that I find amazing and somewhat well..... stupid.

For example, the new 'Croeso' Sponsorship for the Canton Stand. When we moved to the new stadium and stands were renamed, nobody battered an eyelid as people took is as a new start. But speaking to people and hearing songs in the stands, things don't really change. The Canton is the Canton and the Grange End will always be the Grange End.

But what has annoyed me is that the club agree for the Welsh Tourist Board to supply visible sponsorship as well as financial sponsorship, and some people seem to want to blame Tan as Welsh flags and the name has been renamed. Come on lads, we are Cardiff City, we have a director who has a 36% holding from Malaysia, he has his reasons for doing what he does, I appreciate that and also understand the fans on how the re-brand has effected them, but do us fans not understand that this club is being back financially? We are almost on a sound financial footing and yet every day is like Groundhog Day on AAMB because the same fans day in day out, find something to moan about.

Also Transfers this summer, we may miss out on Wanyama, and possibly Ince, yet people blame Malky saying he inapt to compete a transfer, and he is unable to convince a top premier league player to join CCFC. Fans need to understand, this is the Premier League, this happens every window to all club not just us, but I’m dead chuffed that Malky is not being bent over a barrel and not accepting demands from any player or agent over a move.

I truly believe in Malky and his team, the science and methodology in the backroom of our club is sheer brilliant, and Malky is a huge part of all this. What Malky, Kerslake, Terroso, Collinge and McBride and all the backroom staff do, is modern football at its absolute best.

Regardless of what people say about the agents and clubs not playing ball but Malky is brilliant at seeing talent and encouraging them to join our wonderful club, and I feel that Ince and a few brilliant youngsters People need to understand. Malky is heading for the top, and we are lucky he is here to develop this club, at the stage we are at. I don't care what anyone says, his voice, his sheer enthusiasm for what he does, and the love he has for Cardiff City is truly inspiring, he breeds motivation and confidence, and it’s hard once he has spoken to a player, for them to refuse or turn us down.

We are not buying players from Mansfield, or Luton Town, we are buying players from clubs in the Champions League and Europa League. It’s not easy, we are looking at and been linked to some of the best young talent in Europe. Come on the right back Mendy, he has just signed for Marseille. How can we compare to that yet we are there fighting for some of the best talent to make Cardiff City better as well as making us more marketable and attractive to new players.

As fans, let stop all this hoo har and infighting, and just enjoy it, we all know it’s going to me a massive task to remain in this league, but let’s not start battering the team should we have a bad start.

We are Cardiff City, we are not Real Madrid or Barcelona, it always won’t be easy or will we always have our own way…. Let’s stop the infighting and let us be unite and enjoy this season and what surprises it will bring.
