Has any owner of Cardiff City ever put cash where their mouth is to the extent of VT and TG?

Say what you like, but these boys are deadly serious!

Long may it continue eh? :D :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

No doubt about it.
It's come at a price though for some, not so much for others.

It has come at a price and I wish the lost fans would come back. The way I have got around this debt is the fact that before TG and VT arrived we were all but dead in the water...no bills were being paid and the tax man was looking to get heavy with us....probably meant administration or liquidation...our debts were huge then and no way we could pay them, can we pay the even bigger debt now....well probably not, so we are at the mercy of VT and TG.

Once you reach a certain amount of debt it becomes irrelevant...£50 million or £100 million....we could never afford either.

I don't know how this will all end, it may just be delaying the inevitable but you never know do you and as long as we are paying the important bills and playing with a chance of success there is always the hope that we can reduce the debts or that they can be turned into equity....before Tan came we were on the verge of going bust.

Exactly my thought Corky.
Let's spend his money, if he pulls out we are fcked if it's 30m, 50m or 100m.

You`ll never get some fans ackowldging this at all - Shame but they are doing the business with transfers - once Sam has been paid off once he brings the goalposts back in then we will see if the equity is true :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

THANK YOU TG and VT

Paul, if the team and Malkey start putting up some good displays on the pitch, and we are knocking on the door at the top of the table, the ground will stay filled.
There will be some new fans and some old ones returning.
You never know, some of the ones who said they turned their back on the club may return.
VT and TG obviously have some master plan to make it work somehow.
The main thing though is it has to be good on the pitch.
Got a good feeling about that though. ;) :ayatollah:

it adds its own pressure though.


After reaching the playoffs last season and now all this money thats been spent, we surely HAVE to get promoted. what will happen to Malky if we dont? or are struggling around november time?

Malky has totally been backed without a doubt, but at this moment the money has been lent to us on interest and our debt is near £100mill and rising and that needs sorting ASAP .

Malky will have to get us top 2 this season, without a doubt.

Paul, without the cash would deffo not get promotion and would be struggling in November for sure anyway.
Without any investment we are up the creek without the paddle for sure. Might as well enjoy the ride while we can. :ayatollah:

Re: TG AND VT

Malky has been backed a 100% that is for sure. But one thing that not many can argue against is it's promotion or nothing. No pressure then. Now the big question is we now have the squad with or without Bells but does Malky have the talents to do the Job ? But what concerns me is we have a attacking squad but Malkys tactics are very negative indeed. Whitts needs to be used as a attacking midfielder and he has to use the wingers he has including Conway. Sunday has to show a massive improvement in the performance as Huddersfield and BCFC was awfull.

I am glad for the investment, and in all my 45 years of support i have never seen spending on this scale at my club, however why did Tan have to upset so many long standing fans with the badge change and the colour red ? this has still never been properly explained to the fans, our history has just been dismissed on a whim.
The team MM is putting together would or should be promoted automatically wearing Blue, red or in pink with tu tu,s !!! the lucky red thing is utter rubbish, with this team any colour would be lucky.
The master plan is promotion this season and then Tan will sell a premiership club to an Asian consortium in China, hence the Dragon and the colour red, the chinese will love these two things as they will be unique to the premier league in the chinese,s eyes. :ayatollah: :old: :ayatollah:

i agree. What im saying is, with only a little investment and no expectation, we did rather well last season.

Now we almost have no choice but to get promoted.

This has now been done to death, we have changed the colour of one of our shirts, (i'm not happy about it) our history has not been changed, it.s still very much it tacked, we are still called cardiff city, we are still the bluebirds, we have still been to 3 fa cup finals, (winning one of them) we have still been to a league cup final, we have still won 22 welsh cups etc
