If we go back to Blue our best players will be sold of and replaced by let's say lower league quality players. But there was always going to be a price to pay and for me it is going to be worth it to play in our rightful kit.
And I have to say I'm disappointed with this so called love in with Vinny and his Mummy. Do you honestly believe he turned us back to blue because of his dear old Mam ? Nah it was a very good spin on it and very clever of Vinny. Let's make me look the good guy because of my Mummy. Come on guys he turned us back because he didn't have a choice. I am not saying to abuse him I'm not, just please realise why Vinny turned us back and it ain't got sod all to do with his mam.

Would prefer to sell players for decent money and trim wage bill if we can get the club to not need money off Tan every month.

Spot on.

The ditching of the fake franchise identity that Cardiff City had for three years has got to be worth it in the eyes of all genuine fans even If it means free transfers and lower league players and even lower league players so be it.

I also agree with you about some fans having a bit of a love in with Tan at the moment. Vincent Tan may have reversed a disastrous decision but the problem was entirely of his own making. He still needs to go asap in my opinion.

To heal the wound completely I feel Tan needs to go.

A balance book and a happy fan base will help this along. Hopefully we can consolidate our Championship position making us a bit more attractive to a new buyer.

all good and well, but I think it would be good to get some positivity about the place at the moment. It's been 18 plus months of gloom and whinge. Like it or not people are gonna be happy he reversed HIS rebrand. Let them praise him the more positive chants we have, the better the atmosphere. I'm a massive believer in the 12th man theory and I think it helped a lot yesterday. For that reason, long may it continue. quote="Bakedalasker"]

It's got nothing to do with bitterness. I even went to the game yesterday after boycotting for 2.5 years. I think the club living within its means and being less reliant of Tan is a good thing, don't you? And yes, no apologies from me for wanting Tan, a man who caused such divides, to leave as soon as possible.

Nukes I remember there being posts (not necessarily from you) where it was said VT didn't need to change us back even if crowds were low as he is so wealthy. Now it's being said he had to change back.

We can't have it both ways to suit our arguments. We are always doing that.

The cost cutting and player sales started way before returning to blue. Tan was going down this avenue regardless

Agreed nukes and it does not bother me one bit if we end up with a team lesser on paaper as long as they battle. The moment he employed slade i knew we was cost cutting and it started well before the return to blue also but let people think it was a fans decision.
In truth it was changed because RED was not working and would have got worse on any kind of return of MONEY thats the bottom line. eitherway im glad we back blue and will be supporting the team but i wont be knocking 50 off the wrist over tan like some :thumbup:

No it was the FA Cup game and talk of a League game and season ticket sales. Tan wanted now to do it a different way. He threw money at it and that did not work. So he wants to do it AKA the Burnley way. Start from scratch but he wants us to be self sufficient but he needs the fans to do it to stay. Now he had it planned before how it was going to go down before the meeting that is why it was so easy and it was ochastrated by Tans yes men Dalman and Choo.

I think there are a number of factors behind the decision to reverse the re-brand decision and whilst his mother may have spoken to him in my opinion the decision is almost totally a business one.

VT wants out and to get the maximum possible amount for the club he needs to have a good number of season tickets sold, he also needs to balance the books as quickly as possible hence selling any player that will bring good money in (including Marshall) whilst signing players for a fraction and paying them a fraction of what we have been doing over the last couple of seasons.

In my opinion this "Consultation Meeting" with fans was what I call PR masterbation as the fans came out believing they had been listened to, which to a point they had been, but the decision to reverse the re-brand had already been taken before the meeting had taken place.

All the talk about having a board meeting the following day, reporting back to VT and making an announcement less than 1 hour later that included thanking the Football League for giving the reversal thier approval and they expect fans to believe it. How does it all go Hmmmmmm. In my opinion the decision was made before the invitations to the meeting were ever sent out.

I'm not saying for a second the decision isn't right because it needed to happen but ALL of this happened less than 7 days after that shocking attendance against Colchester. In my opinion VT was desperate to come out of this looking the good guy and thanks to the PR masterbation he has, but why has no one picked up on the statement only confirming our home kit would be Blue this season and next. What happens after that :? Why not confirm that the re-brand is reversed FULLSTOP.

In my opinion VT doesn't see himself being here after next season and given ALL that has gone on I think that would be a good thing. Hopefully the talk of a buyout has some legs and VT can walk away and the new owners can get on rebuilding the club.

And after 4 years of VT there is a rebuilding job required.

I'm delighted that the rebrand has been booted into touch at Cardiff City. I'm also delighted that the club are starting to balance the books. I make no apologies for wanting to see the back of Tan though. It will be very hard for the club to really move forward while he is still the owner.

If that makes me a moaner, then so be it.

Good post :thumbup:


Very good post.

Thursday was the meeting, Friday the announcement then Saturday we are playing blue. I can't see the FA agreeing to us playing blue that quick. This would have to be arranged well in advance.

Personally I don't care if it was organised is advance or overnight. My concern as mentioned by CB is what about next season? Does this apply to the next campaign because I cannot see it. I think it is going to be best we all wait for next season kits announcement before we renew/start renewing again.

I am not saying to abuse him I'm not, just please realise why Vinny turned us back and it ain't got sod all to do with his mam.


The cost cutting and player sales started way before returning to blue. Tan was going down this avenue regardless


absolutely correct


Yep, balanced book and possible 20,000 STs. Looking good for a sale.


I really don't think so. Realistically, Tan is not going to be able to sell the club for the price he needs, (around £140m as I cant see him settling for a loss) until we return to the premier league and have survived for at least a year. No matter how good the P+L looks in the championship, the value of the club all comes down to the balance sheet and projected future earnings (just by selling 20k Season tickets for next season this wont make the club worth £140m). "Balancing the books" as you put is is not going to improve our financial position, only prevent us from running into more debt to tan by ensuring he doesn't need to keep pumping more money into the club every month just to keep us running.

I think Tan has finally now learned that throwing money at the situation wont guarantee success in football and I believe he is finally going to try and go about it the right way and willing to stick it out until we get to the premier league. After all he can bide his time to get his money back - he's not exactly short of cash. That why he will never take a loss by selling us while we are in the championship

I have been longing for the club for years to be run self sufficiently and hopefully this is the route we are heading towards, however this cannot just be done overnight.

Change like the weather on here, it was only last week that everyone ITK was telling how Tan would never dream of changing us back :lol: over his dead body,would it happen, he is a dictator who is spiteful and now wants to punish Cardiff fans for disrespecting him :laughing6:
Let's be honest Nukes, like the rest of us, no one knows what Tan is about. What I will say, is that I think his Xmas day speech had a lot to do with it. I thought the whole mum story was BS, but when I mentioned the whole saga to my Mrs, she pointed out that what if his mother had taken him to task over deliberately trying to antagonise us supporters, maybe after seeing that she did in fact pose him questions as why he was actually continuing with the rebrand, bad Karma and all that :thumbup:

With respect anyone with half a brain could see tan was already cutting costs two months ago

Didn't take a brain surgeon to work that out when we appointed a manager on £120k a year when our last one was on £2m plus bonuses
