Steve Borley...

[olderblue]

I think Steve Borley is an honourable man. He has supported our club through thick and thin, and has frequently put his health and his money on the line. He may have made some bad decisions, but I think every one of them was what he believed was in the best interests of the club.

I also don't like the attacks on Scott young, who has been a great servant of the club over a number of years. Maybe he isn't a great coach, but once again I think he is doing his very best. (Which sadly may not be good enough.)

I don't think either men like whats happening at the club, however they have to be more diplomatic (in public at least) than we need to be.

Does he still attend on match day? looked like there was no bugger in the Directors box against Watford

Judas.

I thought there was only 1 Judas, however I have seen tens of thousands turn up for Red Dragon games, why single out Borley? What he has done is no better or worse than those that endorse the franchise by financially and/ or emotionally supporting it.

Whoever you are you should shut up. You're a WUM.

Listen sonny.If i had not bought my ST for last season on the price freeze then Tan would have sold my seat for a lot more than i paid for it.Therefore i deprived Tan of revenue.Season ticket for next season.?

TAN

Can you really blame someone for protecting an investment, whilst he's well off its not like he's able to just write his money off. Unfortunately some things do have to come before football.

I have always said that he was good enough to see us through the times when no fooker wanted to know us, so for him to not rock the boat, its hardly surprising and most would do the same

I always feel bad that Barry Macauliff gets grief on here, do people expect someone to rock the boat so they lose their job? Especially something like working in football which is a very difficult industry to get certain positions in.

Let's not forget the integral part be played in forcing through the whole rebrand, arguably for his own financial benefit.

At least he seems to have learnt not to get involved in twitter and message board bickering.

With all the anger being sent in the way of Vincent Tan, and to a lower extent Russell Slade, he seems to have got himself off the hook.

Maybe as a director he knew the true position of the club...

How about we stop attacking each other, and focus on the real enemy TAN. UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL.

And that is a shame for all concerned.

I agree with a lot of what you say but there's being diplomatic and then there is going completely OTT to defend the rebrand and belittling long term supporters who had a different viewpoint. He was best to say nothing at all or at least stick to "the rebrand was necessary to save the club" line.

Why? It's only football after all. Maybe watching football is what most of us want to do and really we shouldn't concern ourselves too much with matters beyond our control.

Really? There are plenty of examples of one director knowing about the workings of a company that the chairman or CEO weren't privy to. Being a civil servant I wouldn't expect you to be too familiar with corporate governance other than what you have read in a book. Perhaps you are outside of your comfort zone here but don't really appreciate it. It certainly appears that way.

Corporate governance? What has that got to do with Cardiff City Football Club?

Yup, that must be it. TG and Whiteley were out of the loop. Borley knew best. And got weighed in, remarkably enough.

It's like shelling peas

Spot on, Steve lost a lot of respect from a lot of supporters for the way he behaved at the time. It won't be forgotten.

Cheer up grumpy.

Same with you then, you don't produce a thing, just make your living from other peoples hard work and endeavour. What skills do you have that make a difference to society and the economy?

Corporate governance? What has that got to do with Cardiff City Football Club?

Atleast that would be productive.

Indeed. But not like corporate governance.

Mind you, some of it is now comedy gold. It was recalled on Twitter only yesterday when the red seats were first rumoured in the new stand that Borley tweeted he didn't care what colour they would be as someone would always be sat on them in games so nobody would see them.

That would imply he has another one.

Is there really any need to adopt such an attitude, Feedback? You are an intelligent person and you do not need to resort to schoolboy insults. Why not just argue your point reasonably if you think you have a good case. People don't seem to realise that insulting other posters does not necessarily strengthen their own case.

Yeah, but, he's right about civil servants though.

You have a point. However without accountants and tax advisors hmrc wouldn't have any idea about what taxes are due and we would see the collapse of public services.
