Interesting debate on aamb yesterday about possible takeover

http://www.cardiffcityforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=152368

Seems Sam up to his old tricks then?

Maybe Day is right and tan will now look to run us on a par with other championship clubs re wage bill etc.....

Wouldn't have thought he is any rush to sell but who knows?

As for this takeover by a consortium led by Sam- as Karl pilkington would say- Bullshit!

Vincent or Sam. Hobson's choice

It still makes no sense.

D@ya speaks a lot of sense in that

Certainly more plausible than sam heading a consortium to buy him out!

Especially when he said Tan has a long term plan. I doubt he thinks about us at all !

I'd rather concentrate on what you did, which is use a phrase totally out of context because you don't know its meaning.

You think Sam or Vincent presents a real choice for us fans? I don't.

Clearly if there was a choice between Tan and Hammam (which I don't believe for a second, incidentally), then it would not be an example of Hobson's choice, as you suggested. A dilemma it may be, but Hobson's choice it is not.

As a 'choice' it would be closer to 'Morton's fork' IMO

Hammam did appear to at least have a human side.

You are talking about a choice between what you regard as two undesirable alternatives, which is a dilemma as opposed to Hobson's choice. But you can argue the merits of your gibberish with yourself for the rest of the day as I have tasks to perform, so I'll bid you good morning.

If you accept hammam and tan are cut from the same cloth then there is no choice.

You are all blowing hot air
Tan is into us for over £100M
Who is going to give him that at the moment
Sadly for the foreseeable future we are stuffed

(By the way, I would suggest that stating that someone else's opinion is 'gibberish' doesn't win an argument.)

I've just been educated a bit more... http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif

first of, Scam or Tan ..... Its a tough choice, lets be honest, I would be tempted to choose Tan, afterall he has some Money, Scam seems to not want to spend any of his money, he has form and i wouldnt think has changed, though i suspect other people would love to have Scam back, ***** we know would, i suspect TLG would aswell, more walks on the beach and ice creams with 69'sAs for the rumour, its all b0llocks, Scam has been on the phone and got the rumour mill working, just to undermine Tan a little more, the guy knows how to spread the poison, i bet he is still bitter about being driven out without the windfall from the stadium project

http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif very good

This is my guess and it's only a guess. Nuclearblue is likely to be ***** mate, ***** asks him to post things on his forum, keeping his board traffic up.

In all honesty why would anyone want to buy City at the moment? Let alone two different parties.

Assuming you actually have one, I wouldn't give up the day job and attempt to become a detective if I were you, Bluey. You'd make a desperately poor one.

When will they get the message.

I know its pantomime season, but fairy godmothers do not really exist caRl. No one is going to wave a magic wand, clear the debt and get shot of Vindictive Tan.

Why have we got some US money men interested in our club? Ultimately they hope to take out more than they have put in. Until one of us, or one of you, discover Howard Hughes has left us half a billion quid, we are just going to be investment opportunities.

http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif it always makes me chuckle when i get the chance to wheel the joke out http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/wink.gif

From what I understand we have a consortium of people who overlook the disjointed fan base, the history of trouble around the club and the fact that we have not made a profit for several years and are actually losing money month on month. Despite this, they will still invest. Not only that but they will change our colour, change our badge and swap the canton end around so that we can goad away fans to create a better atmosphere.

The only thing we are missing from the **** fantasy world is a half time ice cream with their bezzie mate.
