Thank you for your involvement and investment in our club. Thank you for also listening to the genuine concerns of many city fans aboout your rebranding ideas. I applaud your ambition and imagination in trying to widen Cardiff's appeal to a worldwide market. It is however extremely unfortunate that your proposals were leaked resulting in the debacle of the last few days. It is also embarrassing that you have had to suffer such unacceptable abuse from a small minority of City fans. Their behaviour has brought great shame on our club.
There have been many passionate views about your proposals but for a large section of traditionalists like myself the colour blue and the bluebird crest are deeply engrained in our football culture. If these were replaced I have no doubt that many Cardiff fans would feel a great sense of loss and alienation. Football in this country is very tribal and involves great emotional sentiment. This however should never be used as an excuse for violent or racist abuse of any kind.
Cardiff City is not a charity and no one should expect any owners to continue to fund enormous losses. If Cardiff is no longer viable in it's current form and further investment is not fortchcoming, I trust that you will act in the best interests of Cardiff to preserve the football club and provide it with a future even if this is not in premier league.

Please ignore the few racist fools that follow this club. Anyone who truly cares for Cardiff City knows a Malaysian and Welsh partnership is the way forward. I will admit I was very against the red, but please know it was a knee jerk reaction and one of shock which I fully regret. At no point did I ever want Tan and TG to walk away.. Our very survival hinges on their next decision.

I have the upmost respect for both VT & TG. It warmed my heart to see them so happy with Malky after winning against crystal palace cup match, I felt so lucky we'd gained the most perfect owners.
There are bad eggs at every club, they are a cancer. But in the Malaysians I trust. In Malky, I trust ,in the likes of vince I trust. In Cardiff city we trust. #Malaysia #wales

For me the badge was the main point....if you didnt want the red home kit dont buy it buy the blue away one then the owners would see what we like.....all that aside the racist abuse by a small number of small minded people has really let their club down....just hope that Mr Tan can see that we the majority are supportive and extremely thankful for what they have done for our club and hopefully what they can help us achieve in the future
