So how did the CEO let it happen, and if he didn't know it was happening, then what the f**k was he doing?
Only one man and one owner to blame.

This is the same owner that came in when no one else would and saved us from liquidation, I know liquidation and administration is part of the inbreds make up and history, but not here in the capital. At the time not only did I and many others see it as the best option, but the only one.
If we had blocked him at those early days, and he walked away, Malky, Moodie and everyone else employed would have been dust anyway. along with the club.
Read my posts if you want a true picture, my view is consistent with my earliest posts, then was n't the time to protest, when he was sucked in and up to his neck was and is the time, he can't just walk away, is investment has got us to this stage, if he wants a return, either he sorts it out and listens to proper advice, or he sells us to someone who will listen or have the knowledge and nuance required.

No! not what I said, but getting used to that. What I said at the Muni meeting is"why protest now, give it six months and if we find out he's shafted us, then protest, and I'll be first over the wall" well he may not have shafted us, but he's having a go at messing things up.

after the play off final defeat he could have easily said i dont fancy this, we'd have been playing with pompey in league 2 at best right now for sure. maybe people think thats ok and maybe it is, 3 leagues below the jacks. Doesnt bare thinking about. At rebrand time we were basically blackmailed, he splashed out 10 million or so on players and took us up.

Please do not continue to deny it and force me to search the site and produce the evidence.
I would ask again if you now consider Tan fully committed and if so what are the details of giving Tan what for.

Go on go on go on, dig it up for me!!!, may well have said to those planning to demonstrate to keep their powder dry and demonstrate when he was to far sucked in, as for me I have made it clear from day one, the colour thing did not affect me as much as others and my sense of belonging had little to do with colour, so never personally felt the need to demonstrate on that issue.
However I have said and it still stands, if we find he's shafted us, then I will be well up for demonstrating, he may be messing things up, but don't think he's doing it to deliberately shaft us, just doing it in ignorance and stubbornness rather than setting out to harm us, because it will affect his finances, we lose and he losses, just hope he sees sense or fucks off.

So being 3 leagues below us is a cause for greater concern than having a bit of pride and dignity?
So administration isnt how you do things in the capital? But arse licking, crawling and begging is? Give me administration agreed with your creditors over this in the national paper.
Lifelong Bluebirds fan Gwyn Davies, a 6ft 6in and 20st former judo international, was in tears following a special meeting with club officials.“Every Cardiff City fan must show our Malaysian investors, Vincent Tan in particular, that we want him to stay with us and that we love him,” said Davies.
Pathetic.

And to the poster above, you had every chance for your say. Do I have to bring out the statement from TG and Tan retracting the rebrand ideas and saying how you will continue with blue? It is widely known that the rebrand happened because everybody could see the premiership getting further away so then asked Tan for it and went grovelling cap in hand for a foreigner to ruin your club for some more cash.... Hence my point.
Gwyn and his valley mates did their utmost to ensure there was no opposition to this rebrand and ridiculed and threatened people who actively wanted their blue back. And now has the audacity to complain about Tan![]()
As fans you all had a duty to stand up and be counted, a few fans did, and the rest allowed it to happen with the lure of the premier league proving too big. Im afraid those people have no right to complain what so ever, you were told what would happen.
TLG and co are the real heroes of Cardiff City, paid the ultimate price to protect the club they love and were let down in the biggest possible way by the majority.

So many claims and accusations, but don't you think after all this time, there would have been proof of at least one alleged threat supposedly made by me.
And are you really claiming your club never went into admin, if that's the case you should ask them for those deducted points back, heaven knows you could do with them now.
And as for Langston, it was nothing like a CVA so try and keep some semblance of truth and facts.
And on the night in question of the seven or so bullies as some allege, four of them are born and bred Cardiff lads, not good looking enough to live up the valleys, they failed the pretty test.
And well within my rights as any fan to complain about Tan's actions relating to present events, nothing wrong with complaining, if as a fan you feel it's to protect the club as an entity, never had a problem with people complaining, it's understandable, lot's of people were against it, but luckily the majority didn't want to cause on field disruption or cause damage to the club.

If everyone stayed away like the real heroes, then Tan may well have walked away and taken his investment, and the heroes could have watched the club they love go out of business, is that what they describe as tough love.
