Hi mate,

Just wondering that now the kit has changed, will there be a significant bonding between Tan and certain Chinese business men? you mentioned this in one of your updates...

Would make sense with the whole " we have to play in red" theme.

I believe this is the reason why we have turned red, cant see any other reason for it.

turning red will make are club appealing to chinese investors.

This is what Carl had to say about Kenny Huang.

"Vincent Tan has 350 retail outlets in Asia, it's not a bad start for anyone who wishes to sell a product that he has heavily invested in.

But it is not about shirt sales, it is about commercial opportunity's that Vincent Tan believes he can open us for this club.

Does anyone remember Jian-hua Huang?

He is commonly known as Kenny Huang and he was the name at the forefront of proposed takeover of Liverpool Football Club a few years ago but pulled out. Well Kenny Huang has attended the CCS last season and watched one of our games, Huang is interested and has held talks with Vincent Tan about becoming involved at Cardiff City. Anyone guess what Kenny Huang's preference of colour is?

When dealing with Huang, the club would not be dealing with just one man but a group of his business associates that head up many of China's state owned company's. This is not something that would happen overnight but you can see what type of investor the club are hoping to attract and the amount of backing this club could have in the future if all goes well.

This club could possibly have access to not just millions but billions of pounds to take this club to the very top, so let's hope that everything works out for the best of this club and we do indeed see the type of investment that is being spoken"


So Kenny Huang has actually been to watch a match of ours, and have had investment talks with Vincent Tan.

To bring him into the club, is the reason why we have gone red in my opinion.
