Trust issue new statement on CCFC silence

The following message was issued to our members today in the wake of continuing uncertainty over the appointment of a new Cardiff City manager:

You will remember we wrote to you on June 4 expressing our concern about the absence of any information from the club on the progress in recruiting a new manager. Well, surprise surprise, there is no further information and the fanbase are still in the dark. Time is moving on, critical pre-season decisions need to be made in terms of the squad which cannot happen without a manager.

It is as long ago as April 19 that Omer Riza was relieved of his duties and May 3 was the final game of the season and it is June 10 that this communication is being written with still no sign of an appointment. As the ultimate power within the Club does Vincent Tan have a sense of urgency ?

The club may say that there is no reason to panic but it is fair to say that the fanbase view the situation with some concern and anger. That fact that there has been a deafening silence from the Club has not been helpful. No attempt to allay concerns and confirm that the ship is not heading for the iceberg.

We have been in frequent contact with the club and have urged them to put out a statement to update fans as to where we are but nothing has emerged. We are led to believe that the current state of inertia/indecision is purely down to the owner and his acolyte Ken Choo.

Looking at the news section on the club website it shows no reference to manager recruitment since the end of the season. In the meantime this information vacuum has been filled with rumour and speculation in the Press and Social Media but still nothing official. This situation is intolerable and only serves to demonstrate the contempt the owner holds the fanbase in.

We have no idea where we are in the process. Are the experts employed to assist in the job of finding a new manager still in the building? Are they continuing to advise ? We hope they are but we just don’t know.

We will continue to liaise with the club to try and urge them to improve communication as fans deserve to be treated better.

Mention has already been made in this communication of the news section on the club website. It is interesting to note that, on April 28, the club won an EFL Fan Engagement award as a club who “demonstrates how it specifically involves and liaises with supporters”.

In the light of the current debacle over communication in respect of the appointment of a new manager perhaps the club might consider handing the award back.

Trust Board

Some will say that's not enough , some will sat that statement goes too far

Either way in the absence of a buyer I fail to see what else can be done

As much as I have slated them in the past about them towing the line
Seems even they have a breaking point

A few personal shots fired at tan in that letter fair play

Could be an extra office up for rent at the ccs once tan reads this lol

Again...

I'm also critical of the way the Trust have been scared of criticising the club.

But this is a good statement by them and exactly the sort of things they should be saying.

Shows how bad things are when even they have reached their breaking point.

This is the ideal opportunity for all different groups to come together as one put all the personal differences aside stop the sniping and unite to try and force a change at our club

But neither they or the FAB would ever dare put in writing to Tan that they would support a protest or a March.

They will continue to 'liaise'? So they will continue to argue the point to a wall of silence?

It wasn’t long ago that your committee also canceled a protest due to an invite to a meeting from Dalman though.

That meeting has never materialised as far as I have heard.

Is there no possibility of the people leading each group to open up some form of communication between each other

Maybe they can explain there reasoning for not supporting the protests and give there own ideas on what kind of action they would be willing to get behind

Our club is hanging over the edge of the abyss I'm sure with a bit deliberation all groups could come up with a protest everyone could throw there weight behind, it's now or never

Its not the trust or FAB fault that the recent March wasn't as well attended as we all would have liked

That's the fault of the fans who wether you like it or not either cant be arsed or in some cases think that protests simply don't work

You are venting your stress at the wrong people here

But neither they or the FAB would ever dare put in writing to Tan that they would support a protest or a March.

If the trust can be criticised, sometimes rightly , then so can other groups

You cant have it both ways

These sort of silly scraps are never going to achieve anything

You seem to have decided to pick up on everything Jonny posts and take shots at him.

You have said that you didn't want to sign the petition. That's fine, every fan has the right to do whatever they want.

But constantly going after him is not helpful to anyone.

If you don't want to be part of things then you don't need to be and you have said why. You don't need to constantly pick him up on things that you've said time and time again though.

I’m not picking him up on ‘everything he says’

You’re right, I do have my gripes and I have explained why.

I’ll reiterate my point that if the protest committee can constantly take shots at the other groups and other supporters, then we are surly allowed to point out the other side of the coin.

Another F Worthless Statement:

Action Please

Even Tan will laugh at this

You have been lately actually.

Don't even know if you really believe it or are just playing devil's advocate.

Glad you're admitting that you're reiterating the same point time and time again. You've said it.

I’ve mentioned this, Ned; and for me lately it’s been the latter

Maybe the Trust could have mentioned the fact that over 10,000 fans have renewed their season tickets, so surely fans should be kept in the loop as they say as to what is going on.

The Club said at the time - The New Manager will be confirmed in the " Coming Weeks " - Not my words but there's ...
Sadly these " Weeks " - Have become months

Dalman said at the FAB meeting on the 12th of May he wanted a new manager in place by the end of that month.

Apparently they are having difficulty in negotiating a settlement fee with Sutton United in releasing Steve Morison from his contract, should all be sorted in the next 48 hrs.

Along with the promise of improved communications and a strategic review of the relegation season, which is deja vu as there was a promised review of the season we were technically relegated 2 seasons before. That worked then didnt it? If there ever was one.

Spin and repeated broken promises
