Guest lamort Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 They're also losing the nickname Bluebirds - imagine losing The Owls! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Oh it's happening, the home shirts are expected in the club shop in a few months. 100 million is a lot of money, but they could lose more in the long run £100m in world football terms could be spent very easily and very irresponsibly even with the best intentions. Depending on how the team is rebuilt it could take £20m just to get promotion to the Premier League and perhaps £30m to remain there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedOwl Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 question... an investor wants to invest a billion pounds into SWFC, buy Messi, Ronaldo etc but he said we had to wear Red shirts... away would still be blue shirts though what would you do??? I'd say no thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 just seen this on non swfc section guess most fans will just buy the away kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 They'll be changing the name next just you watch. Once the club takes the 30 pieces of silver the owners will know they can just offer more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Disgraceful. If the new owners really wanted a Welsh team that played in red and had a dragon on the badge and in the nickname and have been in existance for longer than Cardiff City, they could have just bought Wrexham.

DamnedOwl Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Football's got me by the balls, so it's not as if I can just turn my back on it, but I do genuinely find the amounts of money involved in the game these days truly repellent. I guess I haven't thought it through, but I sometimes just wish the whole game would financially implode, leaving us simple fans to rebuild our teams from the ground up.

H2Owl Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Would never accept it. I think United playing in red and white doesn't matter either. It's a part of our clubs heritage and tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 this ranks alongside MK franchise and absolute no no might as well call them another name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This puts the Club 9 Sports offer into perspective and highlights how desperate some people were at the time. It also highlights the absolute absurdity of the proposed Geoff Sheard deal. As a club and as fans we really have learned so much in the last five years about how football financing works.

Guest Thurgowland Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Unfortunatly looks like another nail is being hammered into the coffin of our beautiful game. If the chinese overseas investors were that set on having a team in red attire then surely Bournemouth would have been the best option. A south coast connurbation of around 400,000 people in the immediate area to win the affections of and also a damn sight cheaper option than Cardiff and alienating half of their fan base.

Let the mercenaries go overseas for big salaries and get players playing because they love the sport Edited June 6, 2012 by modboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba for instance- holding out for £250k per week when their 'only' offering him £150k to play in China. Two hundred and fifty grand A WEEK. It's totally ludacris. £50k per day- More than the majority of people earn in an entire year for kicking a football around for a couple of hours in the morning. Granted he has to deal with press but flip me. Edited June 6, 2012 by H2Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRGRIM Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 People need to realise that Cardiff have substantial debts, they are losing somewhere in the region of £1m a month. They need a cash injection just to continue operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I guess the equivalent case for us would be if we changed our home kit to something other than red or blue - say, yellow. I believe that the Football League has a fans charter. Hopefully, it will protect the fans' tradition and desires in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Isn't this all because the Chinese buyers insist red brings better luck? Thank f*ck these numpties aren't interested in our club - sound worse than the Venky's and their "didn't know we could get relegated" rubbish! Clueless.
