Vincent Tan v Sam Hammam case
This is about Tan signing over Life Presidency and many other things to Sam Hammam, instead of giving all the money that he was ordered to pay a few years ago and personally signed to it.
Can not go in to discussion with this before the case, but I 100% expect Tan to lose without a doubt in what I read and saw.

I know nothing of the case, but in my opinion this is the case that could shape Cardiff City over the next few years.
Sam wins? Then I hope we have seen the back of Tan and it will herald a Sam return. Not everyone's cup of tea, but you an be sure you'll want to go to games again whether we win,lose or draw. Also guaranteed we will be in the news for the right reasons, as we can start to look forward to exciting times.
Tan wins, and I will have to reluctantly accept that Sam will not return, and, more worryingly, in my opinion, we will see a continuation of stagnation, zero communication and more court cases.

If Sam returns I can safely safe there will be more unhappy fans than over the rebrand. Tan is by far the better owner and I do not trust Hammam one bit, especially over those dodgy looking Langston loans.

One thing worries or encourages me in equal measure on all of these cases is that it any of them were 100% cast iron either way the court would have given a summary judgment a long time ago (even the Sala CAS appeal would have taken a similar approach as I understand it, although I'm no expert on how the CAS operates). The civil courts do not let cases merrily proceed to expensive trials without there being a case to answer, it's very different to criminal courts.
So no matter who's side we're on there has to be a degree of uncertainty either way.

I can 100% say your totally wrong.
Tan is hated by everyone I know and I know thousands.
If Tan is so
Like why is our stadium more than half full?
You actually know NO facts, only media reports which are what Dalman etc what them to say.

Sorry, and I really don't want to argue on a point you and I have argued over before, but MJW isn't 100% wrong.
In your circles I have no doubt the vast majority of your friends/acquaintances will favour Sam's return.
However, there is a very big proportion (I won't say majority because there is no way of you or I knowing that) of the fanbase that don't want Sam anywhere near the finances of our club again.
You may well be correct in saying a lot of them will base their view on what is in the press and that could be challenged. But similarly, you can't expect people just to believe Sam and his supporters (including you) blindly when there is absolutely no evidence to indicate he would do anything different if he was given another chance.
I've been vocal on here about not wanting Sam back. That is purely based on what happened last time and a bit of knowledge I have on some of the financial issues that club faced at the end of Sam's tenure.
Now if Sam was to bring in other investors and, more importantly, put governance structures in place to avoid the pain of Black Friday, selling off all our top players, courts cases, etc., then I might change my tune but at the moment based on my knowledge and previous experience I'm a long way from changing !!!!!!!!
I actually think the club has done well not to turn into a Derby/Reading this season. But, my opposition to Sam is not because I want Tan to stay. If Tan doesn't back Morison with a reasonable level of investment in the summer then I would start to doubt his commitment and would want a change in ownership, however, any new owner would have to be someone with significant funds and be able to safeguard the actual future of our club just like Tan has done.
Whatever your views of Tan, we haven't had the financial extremes of previous owners. Those days were scary and people on here shouldn't forget how worrying they were. Many, many people don't want to go back to those days when the very future of our club was threatened because, believe me, that completely dwarfs any fear of relegation or missing out on a play-off position, etc.
Anyone blindly wishing for Sam to come back as owner without having the same concerns as I have outlined above is just as deluded as you think those anti-Sam posters are. Sam did wake us up as a club and took us to a place where promotion actually became possible, of that there is no doubt. But, similarly, the club would not have progressed as far as it did if Sam had stayed because, at the time, he didn't have the funds to do it. Despite borrowing from himself (Langston) and not being open on that until it came out in court.
I do get the feeling that we'll know a lot more about our future by the summer, but for now, I remain unconvinced that there are other, viable, options willing to take over from Tan.

I was livid with clemo and the riddler but this guy beats them all, absolutely no respect for this club, the people and the culture.
if it meant them going id have sam back, but he'd have to be backed by some decent money men otherwise he'd fail quite quickly too.

Sam's words "I'm good at spending others money"
If Sam comes back I wont step foot in the club till he's gone.
He borrowed money to buy us off a family member.
He borrowed money off Langstone..... Which question marks on too who owned Langstone.
We was minutes from going under and Ridsdale come in. He didn't give much thought about us then.
My opinion, Sam come back as owner it's the beginning of the end of the club.

Answer straight did he change our name?
Who changed our colour and badge ?
He asked our fans about badge and colour and Valley Rams told him to change badge to St.David’s.
I was fuming with him and never bought a single thing.

According to this, our crowds are bigger under Tan than Sam.
http://european-football-statistics.co. ... e/carc.htm
Our highest average attendance under Sam was 15,569. Our lowest average attendance under Tan is 16,463 and the current season we’re getting just over 18,000 on average.
