I haven't posted much lately to be honest been more of a reader, But Just wanted to post some thoughts I have, which is regarding the current affairs at the club.
I Finally come to the conclusion that Vincent Tan is not what I wanted at my football club. I wanted the passion, the financial backing, the determination, and a good solid, stable backroom team to push the club forward. YES! we got all that, but now, we can see, and have been seeing slowly in the past, that this is all coming at a price, materialising as a rather large price if i'm honest. The cost to us fans, slowly but surely, is the fact that we are losing the club we associate ourselves with, Cardiff City the bluebirds, a team in Wales, The Capital of this land, a team in BLUE, a team we once loved and backed, no matter the division we were fighting in. Well, success is important to some people, and it is to me but not when sacrificing identity & history, and after much thought, and self debate and trying to convince myself otherwise, I would rather see the back of Mr Tan, Like I did with Hammam & Ridsdale. He is not they guy we thought he was, and I sincerely believe he and his entourage of franchise mercanaries care very little for what I and others consider to be a friendly and locally cultured footballing community. Vincent Tan can have his say for now, but I feel it won't be long before the following sheep will stop in their tracks, and one day, abruptly realise that the club they are following doesn't even recognise its own fans any longer. This may very well be my last season watching Cardiff City at the CCS, while I still have some identification left with the old lady. Each visit, brings a new unwanted surprise, and I personally feel, that I am losing my attachment with the club in its current state. You never know, things may change, after all, this is football. But not as we know it, or know Cardiff City Football Club.
I'm not asking anyone to agree with me, I'm just saying how I feel.
Good Luck to our top manager Malky Mackay is all I can say, he deserves more than this.

Merlin, whilst I am a Malky doubter, he deserved a fair chance to prove doubters like me wrong. Without his true staff unit I don't believe he is getting his fair crack at doing that and I suspect he'll be out before Christmas.
