Blue then Red

As someone who has no issues playing in Red as I strongly believe in the potential business advantages it can bring, I would be very happy indeed if the £100m investment did go ahead as VT originally planned.

I do however feel that its more and more likely that we will be playing in Blue next year as I can't see the Malaysians doing another about turn particularly on the back of the statement they issued. I would however fully expect us to then be playing in red from the 2013-2014 season.

I wouldn't be surprised if the £100m investment is then phased over a longer period with an initial investment made Year 1 and then a further investment made when promotion to the Premiership has been achieved hopefully in Year 2 along the lines below:-

Season 2012-2013

- Home strip to be Blue
- Away strip to be Red
- Badge to be predominantly a Dragon but also containing a Bluebird
- Investment made by VT although not the full £100m
- Langstone debt repaid and all debts turned into equity
- Malky to be given funds to get the team in the Premiership

Season 2013-2014

- Home strip to be Red
- Away strip to be Blue
- Badge to be predominantly a Dragon but also containing a Bluebird
- Additional investment to be made by VT or possibly new investors maybe from China
- Stadium upgrade completed in readiness for Premiership campaign
- Training facilities completed

The 100m investment will not happen, but I'm just hearing, nothing official

Could be ghosts?

Good post, sounds like a decent attempt as what could happen.
Fair play.

sounds shit, we're the bluebirds not the dragons

We could be called oh mighty hawks and our fans would bend over for the Malaysians and take it

Agreed, as long as there is a club to support.
There is no other option without the investment. (unless you have a few quid?)

Ha, unfortunately I do not, i am not trying to sound ignorant with you, I, like all others on this forum is just simply posting what they think, some just need to be brought back down to earth just that little bit

I have to be honest here, I have not seen anyone getting carried away with whats to be invested.
Most (well a lot of) the amount to be invested has already been put into the club anyway, but will be turned into equity. So no-one is under the illusion that the club will be awash with cash.

I actually don't want them to invest massive sums in a short time.

It would be far better to build slowly and consolidate.

QPR have spent a fortune and just stayed up while Norwich have done it more slowly and finished mid table.

I'm confident Malky won't do anything stupid.
