I’m not trying to prove any point. What are you talking about?
Re: Vincent Tan to give half his wealth to charity after he dies...
The club has been in decline since the moment promotion was achieved in May 2018. VT appeared to have learned nothing from relegation in our previous Premier League season.
The shambles of a team sent out on Monday and completely outplayed 5-0 by the division’s bottom but one side represented the net £50m spend of Neil Warnock, an appalling indictment of both him and the ridiculous transfer committee.
At the fans meeting a couple of months ago the Chairman Dalman freely admitted the club had no strategy, as if making it up as you go along is acceptable for a Championship football club. The same guy whose main focus over summer 2019 was ditching Cardiff and attempting to buy Charlton Athletic.
Until VT acknowledges the need to recruit serious football knowledge and experience onto the board and into the most senior positions at the club then we are destined to continue to fail to achieve anywhere near the potential of this club.

Me too. Your 'talking with a bloke in the ground on red scarves night' story is entirely plausible. Who wouldn't believe a tale like that? You never posted before 2016, but just started looking in during 2013 to have good old chuckle at fools like me. Sure you did. And you've been getting upset by... sorry, I mean you've been having a good old chuckle at fools like me ever since. Sure you have. And you never wore a red Cardiff City shirt. And you don't have a weird fetish about old Malaysian men who wear their trousers around their tits.
Glad we've cleared that up.

You are, you just don’t realise it. Some fans feel things a lot more passionately than others, it pissed me and thousands of others off at the time. I like to forgive and forget but ccfc isn’t my life, it is for some folks.

You're making shit comparisons. That seems to me like you're trying to make a point, prove a point was wrong.

Then that’s quite naive and sad isn’t it?

Absolutely not.

Is this a safe place for me to say I really liked the original Riverside AFC quarters?

Shit comparisons in your opinion.
I’m sure TLG will admit he was a mug for caring so much and investing too much passion in the City in the 1st place. They are my team, and always will be while they are around, but they don’t rule my life, neither should they rule anyone else's. It’s only a game.

Of course it is. Grown men spitting the dummy out, because of a colour change.

Football doesn't work that way. You can't expect everyone else to see it like you do. As for TLG, i know him well, he hardly missed a game, but football was only one aspect to his character. When i've spoken to him both pre and post rebrand, CCFC was never the main topic of conversation. I do think that some people get the wrong end of the stick when it comes to his character. :thumbup:

Fair play, I walked into that! Though, yes, the chocolate (much better for branding than simply, brown) and amber! Black shorts, not so much.

Exactly, Bartley Wilson gave f*ck all to charity, poor bugger had f*ck all to give.....he gave it all to Riverside, Riverside Albion & Cardiff City. Oversaw at least three ground moves and a colour rebrand as well.
