" RIP THE SOUL OF CARDIFF CITY "

Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:58 am

Guys, I will say, I am hurting for you. Over the last couple of years I have been a frequent visitor to this splendid, passionate and definitely well informed site and appreciated the camaraderie along with the support most gave during our own turbulent time with the Faurlingate affair.

Just read the news this morning on BBC and to be frank it is only what I expected, we had the same with Briatore, he wanted everyone to back him or he would threaten to take his investment away and let the club die, and god knows how many times we were told that he saved us from bankruptcy. But this is what super rich owners can be like, if they don't get their way they threaten to throw their toys out of the pram. And your Malaysians are no different. One word can describe them and that is BULLIES. Sadly most will fall for their tactics but the fact is that you can make a stand. Stop buying the season tickets, don't buy the shirts, protest. 25,000 Cardiff City supporters will have more clout than a bunch of Malaysians who will try and sell your club in the Malaysian markets (still mainly supporting Liverpool, ManUre, Chel*** (blue kit, doesn't do them any harm), Arsenal etc.

Cardiff City will always be Cardiff City, of they think that the club can compete with the likes of the above then they really are deluded, at best what would beckon is a team in the mid to lower half of the PL, and believe me it will cost them much more than £1million a month to cover losses then.

For me, today the real Cardiff City has died and has been replaced by an imposter. God rest the soul of Cardiff City. :cry:

By doing this the malaysians have really put the pressure on themselves and malkay and our players to get us promoted...NEXT SEASON!!! Think for the most part, the fans who are willing to go along with the changes are now not hoping for promotion but expecting it! The pressure is now on our club to deliver. If things don't go well during the season ahead from the start then I can see the fans really showing there disapproval towards our owners. They have put themselves in the firing line BIG'TIME with this. They've just raised the expectation bar to a whole new level imo.

Thanks Stan.... It's much appreciated to know that there are still real football fans out there who think this whole rebranding thing is disgusting and shows a massive lack of respect to a club with over 100 years of history..... Please make sure supporters of other clubs know that we're not all like the puppets they are going to see in the media over the next few days, cheesily grinning while saying how wonderful it is supporting a club on the way to the Premiership, whilst at the same time not recognising a single thing about the team running out on the pitch.... Some of us do respect tradition and honour, and some of us even remember the passion this club USE to have....

It seems it's your passion that's on the wane. I still feel the same as it's still Cardiff City FC. Same team same stadium same fans same history. We keep the bluebird and play away in blue. Last time I looked the sky hadn't fallen down and there were bigger problems in the world to worry about. Who knows in a few years we could even change back but for now I'm prepared to see where these exciting times take us.

:cry: :shock: :cry:

I am still stunned,hurt and shocked by what has happened to our club, I will be there next season as usual, but bit by bit my club is no longer the club I have supportered for 40 yrs and never missed one season of renewing my season ticket, if the following season they strip any more of my club then I really don't know anymore. I am in Majorca and I have not met one fan from another club yet that agrees with what is happening to our club, they have all said your fans will surely stop this and I have sadly said, no we are the minority now. :cry: :cry:

Easy to say but if e Malaysians didn't want to invest any further what state would the club end up in? Surely not the championship with this current manager or squad? So what in your oppinion would happen if they walked away and called their debt in?

They could of put us in Administration but they would of lost 40 million. So they would not of done that. They could stop investing and they would loose all there money. Or they could try and get us promoted by backing Malky not with stupid money but let Malky do his job. and then they could recoup the money or get other investors. But they would not of walked or throw away 40 million in a strop. Billionaires don't do that. Red is for China's benefit, and that will be risky. Don't believe this has secured our survival as now anything can happen.

How dare you call me a plastic, 11 years a city season ticket holder I beg your pardon.

Any fan who calls any fan a plastic, soul seller, sell out is a disgrace as far as I'm concerned.
