Wow quite a response!!
Trust's letter seemed entirely reasonable to me and in no way "self-serving". Pathetic response from the club.

Yeeessss finally something interesting.
:popcorn:
Is DML doing the press releases now?
'Small collective of individuals' - Ouch 😲
Announce even longer open letter in response
Thank god for this. I was worried it had been a bit too long without some controversy. I was starting to wonder if I was still supporting Cardiff City.
This is going to end with us back in red.
But some of the way it's written could be better,
As soon as someone says "We mean no disrespect but..." you know they mean disrespect.
Using words like "Yourself" out of context doesn't help to give the impression of any level of the professionalism espoused by those authors who describe themselves as professionals in business.. "When yourself assumed the ownership" It's bad english and words like 'myself' and 'yourself' are usually used incorrectly by people trying to hard to appear cleverer than they are. Me and You suffices.
Unprofessional!
This is fantastic. Good old Mehmet in Monaco has really got the hump it seems. Keith must have upset him with his latest accounts commentary.
Does the Trust still have an office at the stadium? If so, I doubt they’ll have one for long.
How dare anyone other than the official supporters club have an opinion. Know your place.
The organisation known as Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust was de-registered as a mutual organisation/Trust from the Financial Conduct Authority in 2016 and does not meet the Football Supporters Associations (FSA’s) basic minimum requirements. For these important reasons, Cardiff City Football Club does not recognise the Trust as an official entity.
News to me that paragraph, what’s a basic requirement?
The trust letter has got the response it deserved from the club. It was rambling and poorly put together with contradictory sections. If it is true that they are not an officially recognised organisation and do not meet the basic requirement of such a group anyway, then they shouldn't even have written the letter on ‘our’ behalf in the first place. The official supporters club should now take up the reigns of representing us fans to the club and get more involved. I am all for open dialogue and fan representation on boards etc but it must be done properly and courteously through the correct channels.
PS. Please buy lots of season tickets though.
What disappoints is not so much the Club's response, but the fact that you here absolutely nothing from the Directors for months and then they choose this to alert the supporters that they're still aware the Club exists. What other business or organization with a £50 million turnover would operate without anyone at the helm.

Shows that they can listen sometimes - even if it’s just to have a pop at the trust.
A "know thy place" response from "the Directors". A shadowy organisation if ever there was one. No room at the Director's table for anyone (or organisation) who doesn't agree with the way things are run. Or asks reasonable questions/makes observations about how the club is run.
The response is the perfect 10-year rebrand anniversary present from the club to the Trust. The fans matter about as much now as they did in 2012, it seems.
There's a few on this thread knocking one out over this already!
Who owns the statue out of interest?
If its not the club are they going to start charging the owners (the Trust?) an annual fee for using their land?
Wow, just Wow.
A response that answers a lot of questions just by the nature of it tbh, pathetic really.
And some still claim Tan is the best owner we've ever had...
Someone could make a few quid, setting up a handbag stall outside the stadium… or perhaps in Monaco! 🤣
I wonder if Tan has even read it.
Wales Online’s take on it (that photo must have been taken a while ago).

questions for me to for folks who know the Trust better they I :
How many are in the Trust .
Does the Trust publish its letters openly before writing to the club on my behalf ?
Is there an open consultation period /system to enable City fans to contribute /comment to ensure they are or speaking on behalf of the majority of supporters views , without joining the Trust ?
