If the leading bid for City is linked to Gary Otto (of Sutton Utd) then this is a good insight into the gent. Its a 50 minute interview he gave a year ago on a Sutton Utd podcast.Quote:

He’s the frontman for this consortium isn’t he?Quote:

Thanks Steve, it sounds like he’s learned a lot at Sutton and he was introducing a lot of the sort of things a lot of fans have wanted to see at City in recent years.Quote:

Perhap he'll bring Steve Morison with him. :hide:
I Bet Bale is involved
A good read that. Random interesting fact the name Otto is of German origin and generally means "wealth" or "prosperity" :sherlock:Quote:

Regarding Otto and from what little information there is out there, it does seem he is very hands on and happy to get into the detail of the day-to-day operations which would be a breath of fresh air given the carefree delegated approach the club has had to endure for 13+ years. :thumbup:
Isn't there a slight doubt about him? If you read his biorgaphy he has tried to get involved with a number of clubs including Leeds and failed each time. He eventually suceeded at Sutton of all places and even then I'm not sure he has full control.Quote:

Latest rumour, Jonny Owen involved and new owners meeting fans on Friday.
The Trust is the fans organisation that has been chasing the club to issue a formal statement dealing with all these rumours, claims and media reports. We have published our communications with the club board, their response and the fact that we have told them that the response received wasn`t good enough. We will continue to press for a proper formal response.Quote:

However, unless and until the club clarifies the position on the record, claims wil continue to arise and develop
When do we reckon this Otto guy notices this social media talk and comes out to say shame, ja no it's bollocks fok off.
Knowing Cardiff City, sooner rather than later.Quote:
