Just had an email from the Trust - questions invited for a meeting with Vinnie boy tomorrow.

No other info.


Trust reps and Cardiff Supporters club meeting Vincent Tan and with others 2morrow,Trust members can email questions by 5pm.

Sounds very positive

As long as it's just those groups it shouldn't be too bad. I fear for some of the questions that would get asked otherwise.

Wow is this the real Mr Tan? To be fair to him he is making amends with the fans now, hopefully debt to equity will be 1 of the main topics and also Mr Slade,

Representatives from Cardiff City Supporters' Trust have been invited by the club to hold talks with the Malaysian billionaire, who will travel to the Welsh capital as part of his visit.

Tan's plans on converting debt to equity and his long-term commitment to the club are sure to be top of the agenda, while the future of manager Russell Slade is another burning issue.

Slade’s contract is up in the summer and the manager recently insisted he is yet to open negotiations about the possibility of signing a new one.

We understand that within the club the decision has been taken to review the situation possibly next month or perhaps even as late as the end of the campaign.

Mehmet Dalman and Vincent Tan are key players at Cardiff City

Tan is, however, expected to make a significant financial announcement in the coming weeks in terms of debt conversion.

Slade’s Bluebirds are currently five-points off the Championship play-off places and the Bluebirds’ hierarchy are said to be keen to see how things pan out this term before tying themselves to a commitment or otherwise when it comes to the manager.

Fans can send their questions for Tan to the Trust at help@ccfctrust.org

An apology, even if he shifts blame on others it would be accepted. Rebrand sucked the life out of the club, hence supporter apathy to what has been results wise, an ok season

Agree.
Terrible and well documented mistakes were made. It's time to move on.

Add my agreement also.

ThomasC attitude is typical of what is holding this club back. If apologises are required then the supporters can start by saying sorry for the awful personal abuse directed at Tan at the meeting tomorrow.

The bigger picture is Cardiff City Football Club and always has been. It helps no one by bleating on about 'personal' hurt when the club's future is at risk. The rebrand is now a notable historical mistake which has been put right. Time to grow up and put the club first.

Well said Tony.

Can somebody just stress that the fans are on Tans side from now on, and just make him realize despite what's happened in the past he IS wanted by the fans. We want him to push this club forward and although it sounds ambitious and far-fetched, we want to be the best team in English football. If you tell him that, he might be that ambitious too...

Hard to disagree, tbh!

I thought my response would provoke a tirade of abuse but its heartening to see what seems to be long overdue willingness to draw a line under the whole thing.

I am with Sneggy on this and i fully appriciate Vinny for what he has done, but a simple statement like "In hindsight the rebrand was a mistake, it was made with good intentions. For that I apologise but we all most put this behind us and look to the future…….." would be more than enough to draw a line through that era.

are these the right people to meet up with ?
i would much rather him meet up with season ticket holders and fans that watch the club home and away throughout the season every game.
i get it some if the trust do but it seems its allways the same people.
why doesnt he meet a load of season ticket holders thats going to Charlton on weekend, wether that be the trust or not ? it may open his eyes to a different view on issues not the same old in the click people

If you say so, why is it that Cardiff within touching distance of playoffs have the almost the worst attendances in the entire league?

Maybe you could send an an email to the missing thousands with your blueprint for change. Swear St them and tell them to move on, see how it goes

I get what your saying G but by the same token I wouldn't want some of the absolute idiots that post on here anywhere near that meeting.Its time for all those who are genuinely concerned to have a constructive attitude towards the future of this football club.I'm sort of hoping that the foreseeable future with Tan can mutually benefit all that want to see success for the club.Some people just can't get through the day without someone or something to hate,all clubs have them but these people should not be allowed to ruin the club for the majority.

Are you people for real? Tan binned our identity, destroyed our fanbase, ruined the Club financially with terrible decisions and built a white elephant stand. In short, he made just about every blunder he could make while showing utter contempt for you and you still want to let bygones be bygones? If he's not gonna make the Club debt free as he duped you into believing he would, run him out of town and take the consequences. Don't you have any pride and dignity at all?

Can somebody just stress that the fans are on Tans side from now on, and just make him realize despite what's happened in the past he IS wanted by the fans. We want him to push this club forward and although it sounds ambitious and far-fetched, we want to be the best team in English football. If you tell him that, he might be that ambitious too...

Who appointed you the fans spokesman.
I'm not on Tans side now or the foreseeable future.
He ISN'T wanted by me.
And I don't want him to plough millions upon millions more into the club to put us even further in debt to try and reach a far fetched dream of being the best team in the Premier League.

But that's my opinion.

Rome wasn't built in a day and things are starting to turn slowly. The financial position is being addressed (£13m of debt written off) the stand will come into its own on promotion and the rebrand was reversed over 12 months ago.

Nothing whatsoever can be gained from simply hating another human being for making mistakes. Tan seems to have learnt lessons and is now taking positive steps to put us back on the front foot. I put Cardiff City first and frankly I have got no time whatsoever for the hurt feelings of pathetic fans with no ability to forgive.

The Voice of Reason be fucked.Last time I looked Sam Hamman is the only one with something to smile about.Our fanbase is at a historical average,financial outlook is better than before he became involved.Its really easy to be scathing about the debt when your answer is about spending someone elses money.

Do us a favour Mr Multi,be Brave enough to express this garbage with your true ID-Thankfully posting this outdated drivel on here is as close as you'll get to infuencing this meeting

Fans don't hold the club back, the club management do that.

Grow up and put the club first? Dear me

Why is it so hard to put the club first? If you are truly a fan then you want what is best for CCFC. During the rebrand we saw hundreds of posts about fans who would prefer City in League 1 in Blue rather than the Premiership in red. They now have City in blue in a league above (the Championship) yet they have all gone missing or moan and sulk about Tan, stewards the weather anything rather than getting behind the team.

Management do carry the blame for mistakes but they have attempted to put some of them right starting with the reverting to blue from red. Fans can't just stand by and point the finger else where as they have a responsibilities as well. The away support is brilliant but at home we are pathetic. Management don't sit in the stands we do and its time to stop sulking and start supporting the team.

Do you seriously want Tan to throw another 50 million or more on the pile in another attempt to try and make it to the prem and keep us there? And more again the following season if we manage to stay up the first season.

Not even Tan can stomach a home game, I do agree away support is where its at

Supporters have no responsibilities, i dont understand the point your making, I grew up watching the mid nineties Cardiff City. I have to be totally honest, the club needs to play premiership football now ad the CCS is too boring a stadium for anything less than that

If Tan pays the debt to equity, he's a prick
Turn us back to blue, he's a prick
Paid off the Langston debt still a prick
Saved us from administration still an even bigger prick!
What else do you want him to do? We need a truce once and for all for the good for our club, to look for a hopefully brighter future!
Yes the man has made a massive mistake in the past by the rebranding but he is trying to get back on the fans side now and looking to do the best for us fans and now the club! Let's just stop the Tan hating for now and wait and see what happens next!

Tan only wants to to make a profit, doesn't give a shit about you, the fan.

I thought he made that perfectly clear. Short memories
