    Hi, heard about the plans for rebrainding the club that the board had thought up, and after opposition from supporters group have since scrapped. This left me intrigued to know, are you happy with your owners and the way your club is being run or are they another example of foreign investors who do not have the clubs best interests at heart?

    I am very happy with our investors, they have kept Cardiff City afloat over the last few years.

    tbh saints dude,none of us know what the fk 2 think.........we got taken on a journey with sam the scam,he appeared at the time 2 be spending his money but unknown 2us he was putting us deeper and deeper into 2 dept with and just used us for a bit of fun for himself.


    these boys who control us now may well do the same thing again or maybe they wont but what i do know is if these fellars are of similar ilk of sam then we are fkd good and proper because the dept would be 2 great and unlike glagow rangers football club we aint got no fans with that kind of money 2 get us out of the 5h1t..........we cardiff city football club are in the hands of the money men and only time will tell what our future holds................................i was always told never trust a stranger baring gifts,trouble is when you got fk all you got nothing 2 lose but 2 take the gift on offer even if it is a poisened chalice

    Absolutely delighted with the way they have morphed into the "club" scene. Nothing but praise for their honesty and diligence in trying to get this club into a position where we are financially creditable, then the "me me" brigade decides theres no one taking an interest in them and try to spoil the harmony. T£££ers in my opinion, but there again its always going to be that "the empty vessel makes the most noise" and thats were I would like them to be: "All at sea without a rudder" T£££ERS. :cry: BABIES

    What disappoints me is the way the media constantly draw attention to where the investors are from. Who gives a **** if they're from Malaysia? They are providing jobs and generating revenue in Wales - that's what's important.

    korean yeah we had that with LG`S and now we just have a empty modern factory which cost us millions 2 build...........but like you say it doesnt matter where you come from in my opinion, cos burberry and laura ashley have done the same things 2 the welsh people,they just used us as cheap labour until a cheaper people come along.


    if the malaysians are true then we shall get rewards.............if they aint then we wont have a club......simple as that really...........<ok>

    There's enough cynical visitors picking holes in them on here, the last thing we need is our own kind turning on them.

    What most of us realise, is that without them coming on board when Ridsdale had played all his cards (even the ones up his sleeve), we would be a division lower at best, and more than likey extinct.

    From what we can see of the current uproar, it's seems fair to say that they've pushed a little too hard for huge changes at the club without realising the depth of feeling it would release amongst supporters.

    In my opinion, that may be their only mistake so far. It wouldn't take much for all concerned to back off from their original stances, reconsider their positions, and take this club forward as planned.

    Some very interesting points on here... Is it that you guys are happy at the way the Investors are managing the club or is it more of a case of being happy as long as their wallet is open?

    its in the clubs interests to have its debt cleared and have tens of millions of investment, not loans as other foreign investors like doing.

    they might be getting a bad press from people who think they've just come in and forced this idea upon us but cardiff fans know the bigger picture tbh <ok>

    SWANSMAN - I'll take that post as a reasonable enquiry and not as a dig at CCFC supporters in general.

    Whatever the future holds regarding our attitude to "open wallets", we sure as hell need one now - otherwise we would never have the opportunity to be so circumspect about our choices later on.

    Some of your fellow jack posters are coming across here with such sanctimonious claptrap about the so-called "choices" at this point in time, that they're either completely out of touch with reality like Dai, or just on wumming missions.

    We don't want to go down the admin/CVA route chosen by others as an expedient way out of this, but it seems to avoid that, we need that "open wallet" right now. The Malaysians had virtually offered that in the short term with ongoing support in the future.

    The price they asked (colours/emblem change) appears way too much for some, but seems reasonable to others who nonetheless disliked the ultimatum style of their approach.

    We shall wait and see next week as to the next episode of the saga.

    why did they not clear the debt on day one if they want to make cardiff a force to be reckon with....No they had other plans they did not want you to know about. Never trust foreigners who want what you have got.as they wont do it for the goodness of their hearts and thats a fact.....

    No1Superswan...be what your name suggests, show more interest in your team and stop trying to wind people up. Yes business people usually invest in business interests, good management strategy to work with your stakeholders in developing the business, its getting people to become familiar with your organisations objectives, makes life a lot easier if everyone understands them...guess thats what Huw is doing with your lot right now? Oh forgot your not really interested are you until things start to go wrong, and thats the difference my friend, we have a management team who really are managing and understanding their stakeholders needs, even when things go wrong. Your lesson in basic management is over, next week I,ll chat to you around your basic management, like getting up on time, going to work and how to structure a balanced reply to an answer. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    no wind up by me or my fellow jacks. Its not our fault that whoever runs cardiff can never do it properly....if you had real down to earth proper owners then maybe you could be beating the likes of liverpool on the last day and gaining another £1.5 million to add to what we already got for the season....loads of money us jacks and no turmoil with another premiership season in the bag..<ok> thats how you do it....take note..<ok>
