Interesting Chris,
You never backed or said similar on how us fans thought our players and club were about the Jack game???
Always opposite, big change here now Vince has spoken what I’ve always said ?

It’s a real shame, that Sam and tan can’t work together because I think everyone would benefit from it.

I’ve stayed out of this but this is all clear.
Whoever sanctioned the Cheltenham trip should leave the club - be that the chairman, CEO, other board member or manager.
The club have clearly made no effort in making this game better to attend for City fans - whether that’s due to the bubble or the numbers we’re allowed to take.
There are definitely some big questions for a lot of people to answer.
Unfortunately, we’ll just get Dalman doing another cosy interview with Radio Wales and he’ll put out more spin.

Actually about 10 months ago Sam asked Dalman to ask Tan can they work together and Sam run the football side, Tan said NO he runs the football side.
Plus three times a £100 mill offer has been put to him, he wants £200 mill, unbelievable.

Annis, it's not about Vince but about what was said and the way it was said
I am not naive and I am aware our players (or most of them) failed to turn up for Part 2 of the Swansea 'derby' and the manner of the result hurt; we hardly put a glove on them, whilst they could/should have won by more
It pains me to say that, but it's true
I listened to what Vince had to say in the first few minutes and whilst much of it made sense, some of it was new to me and a little light was turned on in my head (so to speak) in a way I hadn't properly understood on Forum; particularly another 'Jolly Boys Outing' that reminded me of that Ipswich game under Dave Jones
I said I had changed my mind on (quote) "some" things and that is how I saw it
Where I differ from many, is that I always try to get a balanced view and try to see positives where they exist. It's in my nature as a person and (like you) as a life-long Bluebird but I have now reviewed much of what was written and with fresh information, I can broadly see why posters were so angry. It certainly seems our players (I'm still not sure about manager) simply weren't 'up for it' and the Swans certainly were
Sometimes, and you know I apologise when I overstep, I get frustrated by the constant negativity of some when not everything is 'bad' about our club and our supporters still turn out (as they did at Swansea) to get behind the XI on the pitch; and they deserve better than a token performance from those they have paid good money to watch
We have talked at length about the 'regime' and you know my thoughts are broadly in tune with your own and you know what I would like to happen, if it were possible
Notwithstanding that, I do try to take an overall view of any given game or situation and put out as many positives as I can gather. Sometimes, like this game, it is a balancing act with a 1lb weight on one end and a 10lb weight on the other end of the (proverbial) see-saw
I was disappointed, as I am with all defeats; and after 4 wins and a draw in the last 5, like you and all Bluebirds, I expected more
I hope that clears things up even a little bit...

Chris,
I probably went a bit over the top on you.
For that I was wrong.
But everyone needs to see what I have been saying for years this Regime is Rotten and does not care one bit about us fans or our club.
We have not moved forward under them and the fans mainly are more than unhappy.
They have PR people like Morgan saying I’ve spoken to Dalman and it’s all good etc etc more bullshit.
There are NO fans speaking out for our fans, Vince is the first, why because he sees how bad we really are behind the scenes.
I don’t want to hear anymore crap form the Regime, No more words just action.
I don’t want to hear more plans etc just do it.
Thanks for chatting earlier Chris.
We love our club, them at the Top do not, they and their PR men do not one bit.
It’s about them , not our club.

The clubs absence after this speak volume for the place.
No apology whatsoever says it all.
Ian,
The Hierarchy don’t give a shit.
Also I have you noticed the Hierarchy followers / usual suspects disappear when the truth comes out and since the defeat.
Yep but I will say I see people seeing the club for what it is after this. For me it all starts at the top and when you have an owner who does not give a shit then you are onto a hiding.
I really hope so, be good if they came on here and were honest.
We have a Regime and people under them who don’t care plus leaders of groups who are controlled by them and do their dirty work and spread bullshit.
Aye. I do feel sorry for those on the frontline who are in contact with the supporters themselves. When I approach one or two of them they look like they are going to shit themselves.
Because they are controlled by the Regime , everyone of them.

GrangeEndStar wrote:Vince absolutely nails last Saturday's derby fiasco with his comments at the start of this video. Nails it.
I echo everything he says. Swansea take it seriously. We don't. They win. We lose. Simple as that. And it's got to stop.
He also comments on the players not taking it seriously and having a "team bonding" day on the piss in Cheltenham when it really should have been at an army camp. He talks about our suicidal tactics and lack of any endeavor compared to the jerks and that he, like us all, now expect a complete shit show from our club every time we play Swansea. And it's been like it for years.
He says that the only reason we beat them at ours is that Duff simply didn't get the derby. And I agree. We weren't all that special. They just didn't turn up. For once. And now he's gone of course.
Also, Vince talks about how Swansea use operational shithousery as part of their game plan. We never get a full ticket allocation with bullshit excuses given. Yet Nash gives them theres. How this also means they can jam their their fans next to us to ramp up hostile atmosphere. Nash increases the no-mans land when they are at ours which is the complete reverse. Nash would be the first one I fired, he's a liability, on a power trip, hates our fans and in a job way beyond his groundsman pay grade. He is jell bent on killing any atmosphere when clubs like Arsenal and Burnley are looking for ways to increase it, as Artete has stayed it makes a measurable difference on team performance. How the f**k is Nash still in a job when he's doing the reverse of what a manager of a top PL club says needs to happen as it helps win games?
Our fans get it. So why doesn't our club get it? From the top down? As that's where it needs to come from.
Vince is also going to campaign for this game not to be a bubble. I'm also going to ask him, as a Fan Advisory Board member, to make our complete and unacceptable attitude and preparation to this derby a boardroom issue.
I've got a lot of time for Vince, do watch this video, his comments are at the start so you don't have to watch the whole thing. But this piss poor attitude to this particular fixture has to change and starting in preparation for the next one. It needs to be in our DNA, just as it is at Swansea and we cannot be second best any longer.
