Time to make a stand - take back the club and make a change

I posted this a few weeks ago clearly seeing what was to develop. I know a lot of people have been taking their frustrations out on me recently, all part of the job.

But I shall leave you alone for the night as you cant be feeling too good, but I ask you to read this and think long and hard, now really is your chance

.......................................................


This is a post laced with the aroma of coffee and strong smelling salts rather than a sharp tongue.

It is quite ironic that in a few shirt weeks you will be back in the same place where you guys allowed Tan to start this crazy path of rebranding and wild spending. You will still be clad in red, your fan base will still be split, your debts will have tripled and your attendances shrunk (judging by renewals of only 12,000).

So was it worth it? Surely the answer to that is no. But why couldnt you see what most other non city fans saw?

I think this is down to a fans attitude unique to your club. There is an insatiable appetite to be seen as a big club, best team in wales etc etc and this attitude and kudos craving has seen you mortgage your club and herritage on a whim for short term glamour.

You need a complete overhaul. Players, chairman, fans outlook, club ethos - everything needs to change. First of all this "big club" bollocks that has been spouted for so long needs to go as it is your main weakness. As soon as someone comes in and panders to that then you are sold and will give them the keys to the club (see Hammam, Riddler and Tan for details). Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.... Fool me three times and questions really need to be asked about your sanity.

You need to be comfotable in your own skin. A modest club from south wales with a small hardcore following and a largely irrelevant past in terms of footballing pedigree. This may be hard for many to accept but its true, and this pretence and desire to be something else is killing your club from within.

You need to build slowly, develop the club and live within your means - and then in turn grow within your means. This boom or bust gambling with money the club cannot afford is just nonsense and will get you nowhere. You need to be self sufficient and success needs to be steady and sustainable.

This is your opportunity for a turning point and a change - can you do it is the question.

Ill probably come in for abuse as usual but it will be interesting to bump this in a couple of seasons time. As CantonMagic and various incarnations of Roathie - again all I can say is ive tried to twll you whats what. You can lead the horse to water but you cant make it drink.

Good luck.

The first line is laughable.

You are talking about football. You are not a f*cking philosopher.

He wouldn't leave now and he won't change the club back to red. Simple as.

Just ignore the thread it will eventually makes it way off the page and we wont have to listen to his inane drivel

The Ryan's out in force with their angry vendetta

The post is spot on and you could learn a lot young Cal.

Now is when he is most vulnerable.

He is faced with a major decision to stay and gamble or sell up and break even.

My brother was employed as a youth coach in the USA for a year, I did some research into how much Barcelona'a youth academy 'La Masia' costs to run yearly....It is in the region of £5 million...1/6 of what was spent on Garbage this season. Food for thought

No angry vendetta at all Adam

Nothing to learn at all, it's awfully easy to judge and write a semi-literate article on a message board.

This will be my last post don't want to contribute to your ego

Was that an intentional typo?

At least get my name right Cals, these stabs in the dark between you and your dad will allow you to write your own book of baby names soon

You can learn a lot from it, you have the same naivety as your father. I suspect you have read it many a time just like dear old Mart (in between thieving) but just wont admit it.

Personal jibes don't suit you Adam, I would have thought your so called intellect could sway my mind

Right, I'm off got better things to do than obsess on a messageboard for 12 hours a day

Which part was a jibe Callum?

Are you denying anything ive said then? If so what bit?

You were wrong the first time, your dad called me Phillip for a while too. Have another go...

The time is right, sometime between now and the end of the season. But what can we do? We can't speak to him, he doesn't want to budge on anything, and the marches we have are impressive but just brushed aside and unacknowledged as if nothing happened. It's difficult to be motivated when there is little record of success.

First things first you need to understand you will not get your club back under Tan.

Just that fact alone means tan must go for progress in that department.

Knowing that then you have to see that the "protest" was awful. It wasnt even aimed at Tan.

Were you there? Should have introduced yourself mate

Were you in world war 2?

No me neither, know what happened though.

Irrelevant. I was at the protest so know what happened. You weren't, so can't really comment.

My grandfather was in world war 2 aswell.

Doesnt mean we can no longer comment. It was not directed at tan, it was clear in the brief of the organisers.

That's true, it was a colour march and not anti-Tan. I guess there needs to be some further discussion and clarification of the aims we want to achieve going forward.
