CTWD offer support to Cardiff fans

“City Till We Die” (CTWD) would like to offer our sympathy and support for the fans of Cardiff City FC following the latest antics of their owner, Vincent Tan.

Reports broke last night that Cardiff City’s manager Malky Mackay has been given a “quit or be fired” ultimatum by the Malaysian owner. This follows the well-publicised changing of the club’s long-standing colours and the strange episode in which their Head of Recruitment, Iain Moody, was removed from his position and replaced with a young man with no experience in football.

While CTWD continue to oppose Hull City owner Dr. Allam’s plans to change the name of our football club, we appreciate the backing Dr. Allam has given to our manager, Steve Bruce, to ensure that success is achieved on the field of play.

CTWD support the team passionately and Steve Bruce has given us a team to be proud of and we thank him and Dr. Allam for that.

We feel, as do most impartial outsiders, that Malky Mackay has delivered the same thing at the Cardiff City Stadium. Against a back drop discontent, he produced a promotion winning team from scratch and has strengthened it wisely, achieving some memorable results in the top flight.

CTWD wholeheartedly support Cardiff City fans in their continued struggle to convince Vincent Tan that their team should play in their traditional blue shirts – matching their nickname of “The Bluebirds”.

The help, sympathy and exposure CTWD have received from the “football family” in the UK and beyond has been uplifting and encouraging. We’d like to ask that all of our supporters in the media and the fans of Hull City AFC who continue to campaign to retain the club’s name offer the same support to Cardiff City’s fans at a time of such great disappointment.

We also call on all football fans to support our collective cause and protect of the heritage of proud, historic football clubs. If you tolerate this then your club could be next.

I'm not sure I agree with this.... Will CTWD be offering their support to West Ham supporters when they sack Big Sam??

Tan is no different to Abramovich in terms of his ruthlessness.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather them get relegated because of the antics of their owner rather than ours. **** em.
 
Using Cardiff's plight to push your own agenda is ever so slightly distasteful. As was pointed out to me earlier, I don't recall any Hull City fans supporting Cardiff when the shirt change thing was first foisted upon them, in fact, there was much piss taking.

I also don't remember any Hull City fans being supportive of the Liverpool fans protesting against their owners, or the Man Utd protesters or the Wimbledon ones. Yet, now, all fans are meant to pull together. Doesn't sound very cynical at all does it?

A one liner maybe, but a CTWD press release banging on about Dr Allam seems a bit off, although its funny to see you referring to him as Dr. That's not cynical either.
 
Looks like Mackay will be out today.


But Suarez has been fantastic once again, he can't really be blamed too much for today.
 
KInda shows just how frigging awesome Bruce Jnr was in our game. You'd think the other managers would employ similar tactics against them as we did too.
 
Liverpool are hammering every team that enters anfield
Lately

Cardiff had no chance before a ball was kicked

This is wrong on every level. Retract this or my membership goes in the bin.

This dispute at Cardiff is over football management matters and is their business; any comment should be by posters in the threads, not official a statement by our CTWD campaign group.

Some of us have already said that we think MM out of order in publicly asking for more players in Jan when he radically overspent in the summer. His comments were clearly meant to be antagonistic towards Tan (who I have no time for) and he achieved the predictable reaction from Tan (to get away with comp) and your foolish and pompous reaction that I would never have predicted.
Retract the statement, it is cringeworthy in it's ingratiating manner towards AA, it is not representative of your membership and it outside of your campaign remit.

I am shocked at the foolishness of this outpouring. :emoticon-0149-no: <doh>
