Agree with most of that Phill. But the 'fit and proper person' test is just that. These Asian money men may not know what they are doing; they may not care about tradition or history; they may be holding a gun to Cardiff's head. But none of that means they're not fit or proper.
Looks like they have strange pitch invasions to look foreward to next season ! [video=youtube_share;UqBJgVp7rTI]http://youtu.be/UqBJgVp7rTI[/video] The ting tongs have many feeder clubs lined up for the reds next season but wont love them long time !

So it sounds as if it's not going ahead then, just heard on the radio. So they knackered and the Malay s are going to walk bankruptcy beckons
Good on them if they do reject the heretic ting tong ! they will survive as a club one way or another even if its in the league of wales ? At the mo it all seems to be going pete tong for them though !!
From BBC website; The chairman, known as TG, said in a letter to fans on Thursday that there was never any plan to change the club's name, but confirmed that there had been discussions about the crest and home colours. Mr Ghee said it was "unfortunate" the proposals were leaked before being finalised by the board. "In the light of the vociferous opposition by a number of the fans to the proposals being considered... we will not proceed with the proposed change of colour and logo” But he said they were intended to boost the club's marketability and "demonstrate the symbolic fusion of Welsh and Asian cultures", and were not meant as a "slight" on traditions. "This would have been a springboard for the successful commercialisation and promotion of the club and its brand, driving international revenues and allowing us to fund transfers and success locally, thereby giving the club the best chance of competing at the higher reaches of competition," he said. "This was not meant as a slight in any way shape or form on the club's traditions or history which we recognise are the lifeblood of any club. "It was intended as a positive change to allow us to adapt and embrace the future. "Notwithstanding a number of rumours there were no further plans to turn the stadium red or make other radical changes." He also spelled out the club's financial situation: "It is clear to all concerned that the club simply cannot continue to function and exist in its current state, effectively losing large amounts of money each month, while acquiring more and more debt." "We have continued along this path until the end of the current season, but the club inevitably now faces bold and real world decisions should we want to see the club survive. As romantic and simplistic a notion as it may seem, maintaining our current course without growth or change, is not, and cannot be, an option".
the point is what has changing the clubs identity got to do with success???? nothing.....they have been there three years now and they still play bog standard lower league football and they should have backed Dave Jones in bringing in players he wanted for the chance of success. while they are lower league then they will have minimal marketing success in malaysia, there are premiership teams who have asian owners already there and they are no better off. premiership is huge in malaysia and you can bet we have more following than any lower league club because of our premiership status, A change of home shirt and even more so the logo will not bring success and only what you do on the pitch in 46 games will......
They in fact have been there 2 years, and unless they get what they want they will leave the franchise shortly
