PATIENCE PAYS OFF FOR LANGSTON

23rd July 2013

TLG's (Dave Sugarman)latest post regarding Langston.

Written and posted by TLG.

In his infamous re-brand statement, which appeared on Cardiff City Football Club's official website in June 2012, Vincent Tan claimed that £10 million had been earmarked to settle the long-standing Langston loan notes debt.

Thirteen months further down the line, it seems that Langston's representatives have managed to add no less than 50% to that figure if last night's Walesonline reports are accurate. Not only that, but it appears that Sam Hammam now has a representative on the club's board in the shape of Michael Filiou, as well as having bagged himself an honorary position as Life President.

This news must come as a nasty shock to those who have persistently claimed that the Langston loan notes were legally unenforceable and Sam Hammam would never get a penny from the club while the mighty Vincent Tan was in charge.

It must also rankle with director Steve Borley who, during a message board spat with Carl 'Ankles' Curtis in February 2012, claimed that the Langston loan notes agreement wasn't worth the price of a "tripe supper." One can only assume that the butchers in Cyncoed must be making a killing at those prices.

Now that the Langston issue has finally been settled, the door is wide open for a stadium sponsorship deal, which is excellent timing given the club's recent arrival in the Premier League. So will Vincent Tan and his cronies take full advantage and arrange a lucrative deal with a major international sponsor, or will Cardiff City soon be playing at the Berjaya Stadium? We should find out soon enough.

Yawn

Minority Report

5 million extra due to promotion bonus.

Lets cut through the shit. Sam was Langston and was afraid of being exposed
in a full court case. So he took less than half the 'alleged' money owed sooner
than face a judge who had already intimated he thought Hammam would be
exposed in open court

Thank you

I stopped reading at "if Wales online reports are accurate"
First for everything I suppose.

i take it that "latest news" is either carl or annis using the other identity for a cheap shot at borley

Exactly! A complete misguided misinterpretation of the events of yesterday. What utter bollocks! Whoever has posted this as 'latest news' then grow a set of balls and tell us who you really are so we can see the agenda loud and clear

"Bagged himself a Life Presidents position''

The interview with him in the Echo tomorrow will be a classic read, i wonder if he'll tell
us he's sorry for his mistakes again...

OOPS, that was a loan not my money, my mistake!!
