    1. Assam and Ehab both say it won't.

    2. He hasn't pumped his money in, he's allowed the club to build a debt three times the one we had when he took over.

    I wasn't at the game unfortunately, I was working. The boos came through on the radio quite loudly amd were commented on by both burnsy amd swanny.

    If I was at the game, o would not have joined in with the booing, just like o don't join in with the 1904 city till we die. However, I can see why people did boo, the 1904 singing was a protest against the name change. That isnt going to happen now. So why keep singing it? Why not sing something else thats not associated with the protest but refrences our history instead? Is it because certain sections of the fanbase want to sticl two fingers up at the guy who's given us more than we ever dreamed? Is it because certain fans desire to get one up on the guy who took a risk with his own money to save the club they claim to love?

    The name change ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. Why are you still protesting?

    If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.

    It's ****ing ridiculous that how pro or anti Allam you are is being used as a barometer for how "true" a supporter you are.

    1. How many shirts do Cardiff City sell in Asia?

    2. Assem Allam charges around £2.5m pa on those loans. He claims changing the name would earn £1m over the same period.

    He's not giving a gift he's running a business, I've absolutely no issue with that whatsoever, but lending the club money does not give him the right to deface an institution that has been at the heart of this city for 110 years.

    Don,t agree with the booing, if anything the pro's should start chanting Tigers, and the anti's City Till we die, but as Harry Hill said,....there's only one way to find out.....FIGHT!!!!

    I can understand fans who have always sung "City till I die" for years continuing to do so. However, we always used to chant "The Tigers" regularly every game, but that seems to have waned somewhat since the CTWD campaign grew. Deliberate policy, coincindence, or misunderstanding?

    You're right, we wouldn't. Because, in all likelihood, we wouldn't exist at all.

    This is the point that it's coming to, and it's all wrong, oh but it's ok because 'he started it'.

    Yup Certainly a frustrated Identity/ownership issue.

    for some, Heritage and identity isn't tied up in a name.

    for other less transigent types it is everything.

    Interesting debate though.

    FAO DMD.

    #2: Debt owed to whom exactly? Is it owed to an external financier as per Pearson and Bartlett or finance based materially on our current owner's wealth?

    There is a BIG difference and I find it hard to think you are ignorant enough to conflate an internally financed venture with an externally financed one genuinely.

    GET OVER YOURSELF. RUSCADOR WAS 22 YEARS AGO!!!!!.
