Money

Quote "But have you noticed, none of the jacks actually ever give a clear answer about the businesses that their club cheated, and not once but twice.
They always say how carful they are and they don't spend lots of money but get good players, so if they don't spend money, where has it all gone? I reckon 2 years in the Prem equates to about $100 million into the clubs coffers. Where is it? In the Chairman's bank shoring up his other business that almost went under? I wonder where he got the cash to rescue that? Only asking.
And the matter of a free stadium is I think a case of unfair subsidy, and should be referred to the FA."

And have noticed that with all the repetition about screwing over local businesses ,can any of you actually say who and how much ,I asked the question on another thread and the question was ignored .Just asking

 

No you were referred to the national and local press that reported the issue of dividends and the unpaid debt to the likes of St Johns Ambulance and the local health authority. It is there in black and white if only you would care to see.

 

Well I find it interesting that so many posters keep quoting so and so were ripped off but no one can specify who and how much .Could it be an urban myth perhaps ?

 

You Jacks like your urban myths but surely even you lot are not going to pretend it didnt happen?

Some info in this article.

If this is true even a school was owed.

Never pretended it didn't happen but just someone to present a few facts would be nice. (and no the Guardian doesn't count).

 

And if only you would care to read 'St John Ambulance says its debt was recouped via advertising at the ground. The local council clearly did not hold a grudge because shortly afterwards it built the Liberty Stadium with £27m public money for the Swans and is delighted with the wider economic benefits brought to a recession-hit region'.

Oh my, looks like debts to a barrage creditors were settled 'Then there is the company voluntary arrangement (CVA), on which the club's great progress since 2002 has been built – debts to a barrage of creditors, amassed by the previous regime, were settled for 5p in the pound'.

So what bullshit you going to spout next? Did Tan pay the taxes that HMCR have ben after for the past few years?

 

A part of their clubs history they "choose" to forget.

 

Do you really think any Cardiff fan has a full list of your creditors?

Write to your club if your that interested and ask if its true about the school.

If so pay them back with interest.

 

Well some of you on here imply that you do, and how much is owed to them. Rather than posting the same rhetoric all the time, a few facts would be welcomed, as Bony has asked

 

Yes. We paid the revenue. Otherwise wed have been liquidated.

I dont where you 2 think your going with this.

You cant re-write history as much as youd like to.

 

But twice it happened if i remember correct , addmin twice?..........................i even threw a shirt button and a lolypop stick in the blanket for them at good old Ninian Park

 

All joking aside John our fans helped their club out.

 

You surprise me if you don't with so many experts on here .

 

A decent sum was raised for the jacks at the time, yes we argue, disagree and whinge about each other but at that time nobody at Cardiff City wanted to see the Jacks go to the wall.

The problem with most jacks now is they have only been supporting them since 2009 history to them starts there

 

It seems to me that you lot are jealous of our rise and are trying to find anything possible to discredit that fact, the club was smart enough to take out a cva to clear the debts and keep our history and identity, unlike you lot who have relied on a billionaire to bail you out and change who you are, you hate that but just haven't got the balls to admit it. So to try and make yourselves feel better you make assumptions without facts in an attempt to hide from the reality of whats happened to you.

 

To be honet with you if i were a Cardiff fan i would be more worried about how you are going to repay Tan the 7% on the money he is owed, which i suspect will come to a lot more than 271,000

 

Not worried about it at all Mabon.

 

the club was smart enough to take out a cva to clear the debts and keep our history and identity.

That one line shows your intelligence level

 

I dont like playing in red.

You cant rewite history.

Id rather play in red than see a local school ripped off.

 

Mabon as i wrote on another thread if VT left we are knackered anyway, we are basically in the same position we were 3 yrs ago.

Though at the moment he does seem to be keeping his word with the things he said he would do at the club.
