In a (very) small minority here.

Wed May 09, 2012 9:51 am

By the looks of 99% of the posts I'm going to be in a very small minority but is there anyone else that's fairly content with the proposals? £100 million to change the kit colour (basically wear an away kit at home and home kit away?), badge change - been there before and a nickname change. I'm fairly sure the fans, opposition fans etc will still refer to the club as the Bluebirds, I can't see how that can change, 'officially' we might be something new but that isn't going to make much of a difference unless I'm missing something obvious? When the players run out for the first time in August the crowd will still bellow 'Bluebirds, Bluebirds'.

The badge does irk me a little, having got rid of the St David's Cross design I was more than happy with (old) new current one but I'm pretty sure I'll get over that in no time at all.

Playing in Red/Black? Well the comprimise is a blue away kit. As somone who never buys a kit anymore it doesnt matter, watching a team in red/black rather than blue does'nt change the team they are. We've played in yellow, white, black in recent season (albeit away from Ninian/CCS) We'll still wear blue regularly.

Providing we're still called Cardiff City I'm ready to get behind the team next season. This £100 million will help us greatly in our endeavours to get into the Premier League. If the proposals can be negotiated then great, but if not, onwards and upwards with Tan and co it is.

Despite your rambling post you are still selling out without a fight. Shame on you.

A share issue? They already have 70% of the shares with a value nowhere near £100 million, whoever told you that is clueless.

Re: In a (very) small minority here.

Wed May 09, 2012 10:00 am

they do not have 70% as the last share issue never happened, if you read the accounts.

Despite your straight to the point post I'm not selling anything, the sooner fans realise the club is a business and it's owned by someone who wants to change the image etc the better. Let's all have a protest and buy a scarf etc. It isn't going to work. Whats important to me is success on the pitch not the shade of rouge we play in next year.

It isnt in the accounts, the accounts for this year hasnt been released. They have converted what they have put in so far into shares which now makes them 70% shareholders. (about £20 million)

They will loan us a further £100 million, £8 million will go into shares making Tan 100% owner and making us in debt by £92 million + interest... allowing hi to do what ever Malaysian based fun ideas he has we are his guinea pig and UK branch of Malaysian commerce.

Although that still needs confirming part of the suggested £92 million is towards players (a presumption by me). I very much doubt Tan will want his 'play thing' to have a 35k stadium in the Championship year in year out. He'll want promotion asap and using some of that £92 million will certainly help.

Is the money a loan? Not sure (don't know) about the share bit of 70%.
But didn't Abramavich at Chelsea have to write off a load of debt owed to him to comply with League regulations?

Are you really that desperate for Premier League football? I'd rather be mid table in League 1 with our history intact....this 100 million is just a figure thats been plucked out of the air to try and keep us quiet....I don't believe it for a second.

Hi Tommy, in a word...yes. It looks like its going to be Tan's way or no way. So I'm with him. Don't get me wrong I'd prefer things to stay as they are but the decisions have been made - hopefully there will be some sensible negotitations but I'm backing the club.
