Paul Trollope's blunt response to Cardiff City fan who collared him in the car park waving a list of striker targets
By Jon Doel
Wednesday 7th Sept 2016
A die-hard Cardiff City fan presented manager Paul Trollope with a list of strikers he should have targeted during the transfer window - only to be asked if he had a spare £10 million!
The footage, captured by Callum Ellis of Adar Gleision , shows well known Bluebirds fan Dai Hunt approach Trollope in the days prior to the transfer window closing last week.
As Trollope arrives at the stadium, the fan waves a piece of paper containing a hand-written list of potential striker targets at the manager, saying: "Look at all these strikers. What about Peter Crouch? He would do well here."
Trollope replies with a blunt: "Yeh, have you got a spare 10 million quid mate?!"
Mr Hunt responds by saying: "No, but Tan is a billionaire."
As it turned out, of course, nobody had £10m to spare and the Bluebirds ended up signing Ricky Lambert from West Brom for an undisclosed fee.
If he can score the goals Cardiff desperately need, Mr Hunt and every other Cardiff fan will be more than happy with that.

Well handled by Trollope.

Dai Hunt should be banned from the stadium
He's an absolute a***hole
He's tried to manhandle a few players over the years

Yeah, but he always had a great rapport with Jorn Schwinkindorf!

It's probably the same list Trollope waved in front of Mr Tan, Hmmmm

Sits by me in the Canton, constantly pisses off every person within a 10 yard radius. Talks complete and utter shit. I had a season ticket the row behind him in the bob bank at Ninian and all. Guys an absolute cock

Hang on, so it's Dai Hunt who's pulling the strings in this 'transfer committee'?

Get him on the transfer committee.

hats off to him to be honest, most on here week in week out slag off our manager or whom ever is in charge (From slade to trollop) and any others, and what ever is said on here, he has the balls or whatever to tell them. who knows, the fact a fan confronted the manager about strikers might of been the push to show our club the fans are sick of what was happening.

I don't know Dai, he sounds passionate enough but I would think Trollope has more of an idea about the ins and outs of the transfer market than any of us fans (I hope so anyway). Lets see what happens with Ricky before we get on his back. You never know, he may be 'FAN' tastic! Sorry!

He maybe a nutter but he's our nutter. That said, I'm pleased that I dont dit anywhere near him. I've read that if you were to unravel his massive scarf, the woolen thread would reach the moon and back. Maybe that's how Dai travels down to the CCS from whatever planet that he lives on.

Ronnie, He tried to drag a player out of his car and Malky had to personally ban him from the area and a one match ban.
Last season he got moved from our area in the Ninian stand due to swearing and apparently racists comments?
But I have to say this , Dai is True Blue and Loyal to Cardiff City beyond belief

Yeah maybe dai was the reason tan decided to sign Lambert

Didn't he get into trouble for accosting Tom Heaton, (of all people!), some time back?

Yikes. Whatever lurks in there, he's never without it. I think he may have took the "bag for life" supermarket campaign a bit too literally.

He'd certainly be a voice on the committee! LOL
