Terrible scenes at Cardiff, hope we don't see anything like that at the KC. Danger of points deductions and children traumatised and unable to sleep due to putch invaders preventing a lap of honour. And a flare let off on the pitch, people could have choked to death or being trampled in the rush to escape from its fumes.
Hope they all don't get banning orders.
In the extremely unlikely event of us ever winning promotion to the PL I wonder if our owners would actually be at the game?

Just wish we could have a putch at City and get rid of the ALLAMS OUT !!!!

shows what can happen if an owner changes.

Only Burton, who were relegated, Bolton and Millwall had a lower possession rate. Nobody played fewer passes, nobody completed fewer passes and nobody played fewer passes in the opposition half. Nobody won more aerial duels, nobody had more efforts on goal from set pieces, only Bolton committed more fouls. In short a Premier League fan unfamiliar with Cardiff should not prepare to like them.

The question now is whether Cardiff can translate this success to the top flight. Their style of play should not be a problem in that respect: it is not a million miles away from Burnley’s, whose achievements Warnock has said he would like to emulate.

For now, though, this is a good enough achievement. As an image to sum up how extraordinary this promotion is, consider the sight of Vincent Tan, formerly one of the most hated owners in football, being carried shoulder high by Cardiff fans after the 0-0 draw with Reading that confirmed their promotion on Sunday. Cardiff in the Premier League could well be rather fun.

Early in his tenure Mr Tan messed up in a huge way, red kit for the historical blue, dragons for bluebirds, only hooligan fans against him etc ...... as you say, look at him now. I bet no-one tells him how to run his business either!

I seem to remember reading a while back that Tan changed his attitude because he was told some home truths by his mother that he was doing things at Cardiff in the wrong way. Seems we maybe should all listen to what our mothers tell us more often.

I note Tan was actually chaired onto and around the pitch by his hired muscle - not the ecstatic fans. A minor difference but still one that needed mentioning.

Seems Warno was recommended by Sam 'Wimbledon' Hamman, so just like the Allams he's got lucky on someone else's decisions.

Not sure if Tan will ever understand owt about how to run a football club, or just alternate between bad decisions and luck like the Allams did.

However at least he had the nous or lack of monstrous ego to change a bad call re the red shirts.

We should be so lucky, instead of these malevolent bunglers who have hijacked our club.

The one thing Tan has got right is to employ an experienced businessman to be his chairman, and an experienced CEO to be his CEO. And he delegates to those experts.

A concept that I doubt Ehab Allam could even grasp, let alone put in place.

The Allams don't trust anyone from the 'football world' - they believe hey are all corrupt, hence they do it all themselves.

Hence why we are going to Hell in a handcart.

Nice to hear an owner admit he was wrong, not a hope in hell of the Allam's coming out and admitting it.

I just wish people did it more in football, we all make mistakes and get things wrong (I do it on here weekly) it takes a bigger man to admit when he was wrong. After watching that the owner gained a lot more respect from me.

I fully agree, this is something the Allam's have never learnt, that admitting a mistake is not a face losing situation if it is done in the right way. Unfortunately in Egypt face saving is all important, and it seems the old man has passed this trait onto his son.

You are right, I have spent a fair amount of time doing business over the years in Middle East countries, particularly Egypt, so know this trait well. This is something that worried me from day one of the Allam's reign, I always felt it would feature somewhere in their saga.
