Cardiff to remove Sam Hammam representative Filiou from board

Cardiff City are set to remove Sam Hammam's representative from the club's board of directors.

BBC Wales Sport has learned that Michael Filliou is set to be voted off the board at a future EGM.

Filliou joined the board in 2013 after Cardiff and creditors Langston announced an "amicable resolution" to their long standing debt issue.

In February, Hammam confirmed owner Vincent Tan and Cardiff were being sued over nearly £6m owed to Langston.
Club chairman Mehmet Dalman wants to know the identity of the corporation before paying £5.75m plus interest, which was initially due on 30 January 2015.
The original debt of £24m was in the form of loan notes issued by The Langston Corporation when Hammam was at the helm of the club.
As part of the deal, Hammam became life president and his representative Filiou took a seat on the board.
The intention to remove Filiou is seen as another move in the continuing battle between Hammam and Tan.
Hammam has been widely seen as Langston's representative.
Twenty eight days notice is required to call an EGM and Cardiff are set to begin that process on Wednesday.

Wish this whole debacle would just come to an end. It's been embarrassing for a while now.

Totally agree Steve.

Rich man wants money from richer man.
whats embarrasing in comparison to all the other shit ae have put up with lately ?
Im a sam fan and hope he remains part of the future of the club

I really don't see how this is embarrassing. To whom exactly ? Although Hammam rejuvenated us when he arrived on the scene who can forget the fire sale involving Kavanagh and later, Gabbidon and Collins. Even Tan hasn't taken us to the brink. Not yet anyway.

At the EGM I will be interested to hear the reasons for the removal.

If it is for not carrying out his duties as a director properly , then I think the actions of a few more directors need to be explained at the same time.

If it is for making no contribution to Cardiff City Football Club , then I can think of a few Malaysian directors of the Holding company who (in the stated opinion of the Chairman) make no contribution to the benefit of the club whatsoever.

Isn't it a conflict of intrest with the up and coming court case ??

Personnally I hope Sam does'nt get another penny out of the club or Tan, Considering it was 'his' money he was putting in, he's had enough back

What if it's for leaking information?

Would he be party to any information in his role?

Part of the contract to settle the Langston loan notes,is that Sam Hamman has a Director on the board until all paid off. Hmmm interesting?

It's oblivious the club are not going to pay Sam off in full anytime soon ,what's the point of having one of Sam's guys on the board ?

Wez, I agree its pointless having Sams Director on the board,but its in a signed document by Tan agreeing to it,until all monies have been paid.

So I see things hopefully finally coming to a closure
