Plain and simple.

It lasted another half a season after relegation.

Oddly enough, it took poor results and seriously dwindling crowds before he changed his mind. He was onto his third manager by that point.

its amazing that 10 years on it still effects people even though they profess they dont care about the club anymore :shrug:

10 years, might be time to move on and let it go :shrug: life's too short

It's also amazing that you're always all over any threads that mention the re-brand like a rash.

Might be time to move on and let it go.

You could never disappoint me as I never have any expectations where you're concerned. The bar isn't low, it's on the floor.

I thought you might be pissed. In that respect. Throwing dead cats and all that.

Nice to have some of that rapier "wit" back ( its been a few years ), much better than the sad bitterness that normally emits from your posts :thumbup:

You can throw them where you want, when you want as far as I'm concerned. It's just that usually I can understand what you're trying to say. Tonight I haven't got a clue.

You regard my posts as 'sad' and 'bitter' merely because they usually don't tally with your views.

I regard your posts as idiotic because they generally are.

Shit period in our history but personally I don't think anyone was wrong or right whatever they decided to do in terms of going/not going - it was a personal decision

The chap who wrote that post sadly isn’t with us any more. Huge city fan, used to run supporters coaches.

If that is the case then I grew up with him in Canton (although for house sale purposes people call it pontcanna now) and went home and away with him and a couple of close friends during the 80s

Such a nice bloke and a music connoisseur

Massive city and Wales fan

A while back in this tread you ask me about letting go in what respect. You knew exactly what I meant but you just put the question to keep the narrative going.
Many times you have explained to all and sundry that cardiff city means fa to you anymore yet you are on this thread .....well all I can say is it does mean something and its still hurting you just admit and move on.

I still don't know what you mean. What does 'letting go' and 'moving on' mean as far as you're concerned? Does it mean forgiving Vincent Tan and those who helped usher in his re-brand? Does it mean stop attending matches? Does it mean throw myself into it again? I honestly don't know what you're trying to say.

As for it still hurting, those feelings have long since passed. The re-brand was a spectacular failure. It was a huge learning curve for me personally, but it doesn't hurt in the slightest. On the contrary, the Emperor did me a favour in many respects. Life during the last ten years would have been very different if he hadn't embarked upon his vanity project.
