I really hope it’s not a ruse to get season tickets sold.

Either of them would be great news.


Point 1 would be amazing news.
Point 2 would be bullshit.

Haven't read all of the comments as I'm in work but:

Does this have anything to do with a sale of the club?

Annis is buying the club & putting Wez in as DOF due their agreeing on the way forward all the time. This was agreed after one too many pints in Santa Ponsa while celebrating the Cardiff win on April 1st.

Either that or investment from outside group? But only guess work at moment its the only practical idea for this thread

100% Not

As this never came from Dalman or Tan

It was mentioned to me that there will be changes next year ' for better or for worse, and I hope its for the better'.

To this end, does this intimate that new buyers or investors have been found but are of unknown pedigree?

Jules,

I will never forget, he lied to you all and me personally.

That’s why I marched against him.

Cost me all My books in the Club shop, I was selling at least 800 a month, but I have pride and principles.

tangledupinblue wrote:Come on Annis give us a clue!

My wish list. Realistic
1. Red seats out, blue seats in
2. New badge, just the bluebird in a yellow/gold circle with 125 underneath for next season plus a return of the Welsh flag on the arms or back.
3. The gold and white stripe on the kit and fir the anniversary year no shirt sponsor (if we have to please not visit Malaysia)
4. Clean up the outside of the stadium and maybe paint the internal breeze block walls blue like at QPR
5. Better food, ales at fan friendly prices in the concourse.
6. Better CCFC presence , marketing annd and advertising around the suburbs, City centre and surrounding valleys and towns.
7. Less draconian stewarding
8. Better communication with fan groups and season ticket holders regarding our philosophy and future
9. If ST holders can’t make the game, offer them the option of making their ticket available for resale to generate more income
10. Do a Sam, get the plastics to swap their EPL shirts for a city shirt and a first ticket purchase at a discount. Get a club shop in town!


Unrealistic
1. Tan - Dalman sell to Sam
2. Bulut out, Bellamy / Osian and Dutch Ray in
3 . Jason Perry and Gabbidon as football advisors / more football and Cardiff men in the board room
4. Macron as new kit supplier
5. Rebuild Ninian Park pub on Jubilee Park
6. Get more Welsh players in
7. Fill two of the gaping stadium corners in with more seats
8. Move family stand away from the away fans, move Canton singers there, less segregation gap from the away fans like against Poland.
9. Whitts / Dwyer permenant tribute
10. Compulsory repetitive chant and bounce every game of Super Furry Animals “We don’t give a f**k about anybody else”
Because we don’t!

I’ve always been a dreamer.
:ayatollah: :ayatollah: :bluescarf: :bluebird: :occasion5: :ayatollah:

Haha, brilliant lists. All of the above please :thumbup:

I think this too mate. Annis's comment about work already going on behind the scenes can hint towards this.

Sullivan built his empire in the sex industry

Here we go again, how many "good news" stories from multiple sources have we had on this forum....

Sorry Annis if you know what is going on you should say it, why the smoke and mirrors. If this ends up not being more cash invested in the team and a decent manager then this is a non-issue.

Sorry Annis but fed up with summers of promises, transfer windows of promises, we'll back the manager etc.

I think it must be some sort of takeover and hence no manager decision or..... It's all bollocks again

I am in agreement to a certain extent going back to the old badge is tidy but not an earth moving decision even switching ends of the stadium
what we want is a team and a manager that can get promotion and become one of the big boys
but that will only happen with a big rebuild and the biggest injection of cash since tan took over at the start of his reign.

Re: BREAKING: “ BIG CHANGES AT CARDIFF CITY “

Tue Apr 02, 2024 6:16 pm

Unless there is a major cash injection or a full takeover, I can guarantee next summer will be the same as every other one over the last decade..uninspiring and disappointing!!

Moving ends won't cost significant money think Southampton are going it at moment for next season just case of notifying st fans in area to be used by away fans and relocate them... man u apparently do it every season to some extent... but on subject can anyone think of something that will have effect of OP? Other than investment or change ownership... been strange week for tans finances according to what's been said.

First I’ve given my word and I need to be respected for that.

2nd I have not promised good Summers before , the local media have and Dalman and his pa.

When I heard everything over the last couple of weeks it’s made me very hopeful of a new season to come that might be different and promising than past years, so yes I was allowed to say that as it sounds good for once
If you don’t want to read it, I’m not forcing anyone, I am trying my best to show we might have for the first time in years a good summer, not lies and bullshit.

Annis
happy to wait for the good news you bring as the last time i felt on top of the world as a cardiff fan was the day we played reading and got promoted at the city ground warnock bamba etc
and looking forward to playing the big boys and a packed stadium every home game that was the last time and its been really dull since with failed rebuilds etc and sh.t msnagers covid no crowds sala affair embargo' s dwindling fan base so everyone is sceptical
Be there for saturday though.
