I'm not a fan of Sam Hammam

But if Tan who is a very successful businessman believes the best deal was for Sam to get paid become life president and have a representative on the board then i will trust his judgement.
I have never been a fan of Sam Hammam from the start but if this Tan/Sam deal benefits Cardiff City and takes us to another level then bring it on..
All i care about is what is best for Cardiff City

Dont panic. Given that first interview, its obvious Sam is just on board to be Vincent Tans spokesman
and toe the company line of ''respect him or he'll leave'' - Hammam will wait a dignified period of time
and be gone forever and his 'man' on the board will be shunted sideways, then out, within twelve months

I care about what is best for Cardiff City as well , and have done for 51 seasons now , but do you really believe that VT has given SH this title (which he had already been given 7 years ago anyway when Ridsdale ousted him - check back on the reports at that time) to enjoy the "benefit" of his advice?

Or do you think it is far more likely that it was part of a ploy to substantially reduce the sum agreed to be paid to Langston? Neither Sam nor his nominee on the board will have any influence whatsoever over the running of the football club (thank god) and will just be used as a PR spokesman/"puppet" to get across a rehearsed set of views in the hope of increasing the popularity of individuals and to deflect current criticism levels. This has already started in his interview with Terry Phillips.

I Cannot for the life of me figure out why Sam Hammam, ''spokesman'' for Langston agreed to accept
a figure way below half of what would 'allegedly' have been due in 2016. The only rationale i can find
is that The High Court Judge put the fear of God into him when he said he believed Sam Hammam would
likely be exposed as the driving force behind the Consortium in a full court case. Who on earth walks
away from a 'guaranteed' extra £17m for the sake of a couple of years? What were the legal implications
for Hammam if it WAS discovered he'd been loaning money to the club himself??

I don't mind him coming back as-long as he has no influence on and off the pitch

I just hope this isnt yet another reason for a 'song and dance' on this forum.

Malky, sign someone so we have something 'on pitch' related to discuss

Don't worry he won't.
This was probably the best deal Sam could hope for.Done and dusted now,time to move on to matters on the field.
