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.

Is DML doing the press releases now?
with any luck it'll tide us over until we start announcing signings in a month or soQuote:

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!
Yes, it's pathetic.Quote:

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.

News to me that paragraph, what’s a basic requirement?
I idea. I wonder if CCSC comply?Quote:

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.
Yes, very much a political answer!!Quote:

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.
There’s a few who haven’t been back since we ditched the red :hehe:Quote:
