That is the most well written piece I have read. Superbly written blog and about as neutral as you could ever hope for, whichever side of the fence you sit on. :malky:

Cheers :thumbup:

Very much appreciated.

I have strong feelings on the rebrand but I'm aware that my Huff Post blog, is aimed at the wider 'football family,' so whilst I am very much pro blue, I try and be as objective - as my anti rebrand tendencies will allow...

Yep, spot on. :thumbup:

Huff Post want a series of blogs cataloging the clubs 'interesting' internal politics.

To the disappointment of many :lol: there will be more to come, as and when something relevant/controversial takes place off the pitch.

:lol:

Ironically, I'm sure that there are people who will do exactly that!

Even though I am anti rebrand, I'm very much aware that the politics that surround the subject are complex and taking a broad sweep of the brush ain't really the answer :thumbup:

Nothing wrong with being anti rebrand, but the way you've written that blog I suspect that you understand anti rebrand does not equal anti Tan.

Two different issues in my book. :malky:

Well written but you speak for very few.

I don't claim to speak for anybody but myself. :thumbup:

The blog points out that there are a lot of positives taking place at the club but these are offset by things that many feel are unpalatable, such as the rebrand and the return of Sam Hammam. Now, clearly there are degrees of discontent about those two events but I would suggest that more than 'very few' supporters would rather the rebrand hadn't taken place and the same applies to Sams return. Its all about opinions and those are mine :thumbup:

I've also made sure that I've pointed out in the article that for other fans, the rebrand has been a positive and that Hammam is viewed by some fans as a positive figure in Cardiff City's history.
