Cardiff City to appoint Simon Lim in place of chief executive Alan Whiteley
By Terry PhillipsSep 30 2012


Cardiff City’s Malaysian owners are to dispense with the services of chief executive Alan Whiteley, the man who pushed through the club’s controversial rebranding for them.

Whiteley had to present the public face of the Bluebirds and held a number of meetings with fans to try to convince them of the need for the team to play in red.

Just a few months on, it seems club owner Vincent Tan will bring in his own man, with fellow Malaysian Simon Lim taking over the key role.

Lim is already finance director of the Bluebirds, having taken over that job from Doug Lee recently.



The club have yet to make an announcement, but we understand Whiteley could retain his position on the board of directors.

The news comes as Malky Mackay’s team look to follow their brilliant Blackpool show by inking their name into the record books against Birmingham on Tuesday night.

Mackay’s men followed in the footsteps of the Bluebirds Class of 1959-60 when they made it four home league wins out of four at the beginning of a season.

They are ready to go one step further after beating Blackpool 3-0, which followed earlier triumphs in the Welsh capital against Huddersfield, Wolves and Leeds.

Two-goal ace Matt Connolly said: “We’ve got to keep this run going against Birmingham.”

None today mate - its been shit here today

So that was why VT was in Cardiff,but where was DTC? has he been sidelined and will we be looking for a new chairman too?

I thought his position was only "for the time being" when he came in.

Really sorry to see Allan Whitley removed, not good in opinion.

I also thought it was temporary

I may be wrong but did Carl say in an update Whitley was getting fed up of the role anyway and was only supposed to be doing it as a stop gap.

I don't think whitely is a CEO.

I know nothing about Lim so can't say what he brings to the club. I like the idea of one personal being in charge eg CEO and finance director but he has to be up to the job.

Having thought about this I think its for the better.

The handling of the rebranding was a travesty and he has to take some responsibility in that. Obviously his heart is in the right place but he along with the rest could have handled it better.

Lets just hope the new guy has his head screwed on.

As long as it is not Ridsdale, I'm not that bothered.
