Sam Hammam 'you're not welcome'

Cardiff City tell Sam Hammam 'you're not welcome' and plan to strip former owner of life presidency.

Bluebirds bosses don't want Hammam at the Cardiff City Stadium

Hammam, who was in charge at the Welsh club from 2000 to 2006, was made life president in 2013 by current owner Vincent Tan, but the Bluebirds now want to sever all links with the Lebanese businessman.

The move comes despite it emerging that a recent agreement states that Hammam should be afforded the same treatment and privileges as the club owner when he attends any Cardiff match.

Hammam and Tan have been at loggerheads of late over of the repayment of a historic £24m debt to the Langston group.

Now Vincent Tan has to figure out how to remove Hammam from his life presidency.

That was finally resolved ahead of a High Court case recently when it was finally revealed that Hammam was indeed the man behind the Panamanian-based company.

The club paid £5m last Friday to Langston as a final settlement and will pay a further £1.75m if the Bluebirds are promoted back to the Premier League, but part of that deal also stated that Hammam should be treated like a life president if he attends a Bluebirds match.

But the club’s hierarchy are unhappy with that situation and the general feeling is that Hammam is not actually welcome at future Bluebirds’ games, now the Langston case has been settled.

How very odd, says a lot about Hammam that he would request that type of clause. If I was Tan I wouldn't let him in either.

Taking the fans for fools,Hamman screwed us and we all know it even if some won't admit it.I'd like to see him walk around the pitch once more.My guess is that it would be worth a few hundred to him after they've counted up all the coins thrown at him.

Personally, so long as Sam has no 'real' input and his 'representative' is not on the Board, I wouldn't object to him being allowed to remain in his gifted (by Vincent Tan) position as "Life" President!

The line needs to be drawn somewhere and (to me) the agreed settlement of the Langston issue was it. Time to move on without anymore bitterness on either side!

A new era approaches for the club and dragging up this particular element of the past is futile, IMHO!

I agree that the line needs to be drawn and the settlement with Langston was it.

No need for Hammam to have anything further to do with the club. He's yesterday's man who should have nothing else to do with the club.

Well, as much as I dislike the financial implications of the Langston situation, I still appreciate how Sam was the man who originally galvanised City fans into a single unit as the club rose through the Divisions

So, for that reason, it wouldn't bother me if he was wants/is allowed to remain in an non-influential capacity

Sorry Langston has been a bloody millstone around our necks for years ,Sam hamman is a lier and a leach ,the club are right to say he's not welcome

Any good work he did was wiped out when he almost brought the club to its knees, f**k him.

Not welcome at all!
