cheers carl cracking update!!!

just wondering if sam hamman had anything interesting to say last night??

Sam and I speak regularly and they are always an hour or more conversations, Sam is still a fan and has love for the club, he has not lost that. To speak with him like I would chat with friends at a pub is incredible and his knowledge of football is still immense.

Anyone got any footage of that ex southend player on trial against Llanelli!!

The wages were paid to the players on the 31st August ( the new payment date ) and they were not paid by the Malaysians directly but were paid by Steve Borley and Alan Whitely ( as they were last month too ). In July Borley and Whitely each paid an equal share but this month Borley paid the lion's share. Paul Guy and Michael Isaacs did not contribute for any of the months. The directors were asked by the Malaysians to cover the wages for a short period and the majority of July's wages has been paid back to Borley and Whitely, there is income coming in from Malaysia tomorrow and next week which will settle both men's short term loans.

There is significant funds coming in from Malaysia tomorrow and Tuesday which will settle the wages and other matters.

Peter Ridsdale will be meeting TG in the next few weeks and an agreement should be reached to settle the outstanding monies to him. PR is owed approx £750k and was asked to accept £500k for early settlement, after some too'ing and fro'ing PR accepted, but last week he was offered a lower figure again to settle the monies, £350k alledgedly. PR has contacted TG and alledgedly threatened to issue a winding up order against the whole company if he did not receive his money of £500k by Tuesday 31st August. Ridsdale has not received a penny as yet and has not issued a writ but has been promised a meeting. Alan Flintcroft is owed £200k approx and Gareth Davies £100k.

PMG were due a payment of £2million on Wednesday September 1st, they have accepted they will have to wait some time to receive their money, as yet PMG have not received a penny of the £2million.

Langstone were due their monthly payment on Tuesday 31st August and they were told they would not receive their money until today, Langston have accepted the delay.

The Malaysians have made great strides in the last few months, settled football creditors, settled HMRC, paid off many small creditors but there is still a hell of a long way to go, who knows what their long term plan is, at the moment they are not jumping into the situation head on but are talking with creditors to reduce the debt to the club and at the same time providing the club with the necessary amounts to keep it working.

Liverpool Chief Executive Christian Purslow was recommended to the board by a director when Ridsdale was stepping down and Purslow, I understand, was keen to come and talk with City but we appointed a new CEO and Purslow then went onto Liverpool some weeks later.

The reserve match against Llanelli featured Francis Laurent, who ended his time at Southend in May over contract issues, I can confirm that it was Francis who played yesterday ( apologises if has been confirmed elsewhere ) and the player has now been interviewed by Terry Phillips. Laurent is not overly confident, despite his impressive run out, of being signed by the club because of the quality of players we have available but it is not ruled out.

Chris Riggott played in the game and to be honest the report I have received is not too favourable on Riggott but this was the first time this particular source had seen him train or play, but it is obvious that DJ is keen to give Riggott a chance to prove himself, simply by the amount of time he has given him.

Callum Davenport did not play in the game despite him failing to gain a contract and Leeds and his spell of training there came to an end on Tuesday.

awesome update fair play carl. lets just rock and roll with season i say

Update appreciated, but a bit depressing to hear we still owe so much. I just wish we could settle the debts once and for all, and not have this worry constantly over our heads.

That said, DJ is playing a blinder and the Malaysians are backing us all to the hilt.

Another great update Carl....and all appreciated.

Agree with the Dave Jones comments. Personally, I am a supporter and believe he will deliver....but only time will tell, eh?? Great start so far, though and (ref. Gerrard et al) I suppose the end will justify the means....


Keep up the good work....it is appreciated

Many thanks Carl

CHEERS CARL !!

Hopefully a defender will come in soon.

Isaacs and Guy not contributing hmmm, that tells a story in itself

yeah plus Borley and White - lie " loaning " CCFC money whereas the Malaysians are actually putting cash in and investing for no return does make you wonder if things are about to change ? New broom and all that !

Thanks for the update Carl , always appreciated

Carl,

Any update on Pauls questions below.

Moley


Thanks again for the update Carl, it's much appreciated.

Just wanted to see if you had any info on two points:

1) In regards to the potential Investors - has anything more developed on this front?
2) Players contracts - do you know if any progress has been made on this front now the transfer window has closed?

Thanks again,

with regards to investment the malaysians are going to go it alone for the forseeable future but i would not rule out them bringing in seperate sponsors for the stadium and kit etc as they try to build our profile in malaysia( this is the reason they agreed to fund the bellamy deal)
the contract talks have begun with the players involved.

Excellent update much appreciated just hope the Riddler gets screwed in the same way that he screwed our Club (allegedly )

Great update Carl and due to that I'm seriously thinking about cancelling my daily delivery of the SW Echo because you tell me far more than that rag ever does.

Thanks Carl, I really think you are worthy of a song in Canton now

My god that yorkshire fat b*stard is still trying to bleed our club, he is a greedy man I still get angry every time his name is mentioned he has stolen millions out of Cardiff City and still trying to get more , he is a disgrace

Just thought I'd mention here that my (kinda) uncle is Steve Borley

Update appreciated, but a bit depressing to hear we still owe so much. I just wish we could settle the debts once and for all, and not have this worry constantly over our heads.

I think we can all be certain that TG and 'Vinnie' are well capable of coming in and clearing
our debts in one foul swoop. But its also obvious they do not intend paying back 100% of the
debt (after all, its inherited debt and f**k all to do with them really). Ridsdale is a perfect
example, he's allegedly owed 750k - TG has no intention of letting him walk away with that
much of his money. The same can be said of PMG who are trying to hold the club to ransom
whilst contributing f**k all. Hopefully, Sam Hammam will show his true colours and will
bend over backwards to help TG (and the club) over the Langstone debt... He had made big
mistakes here, but lets not forget that PMG, the council and Ridsdale stitched him up proper
so I suspect his high court stuff was more an attack back at them than at Cardiff City FC.

I no longer worry about our debt

CHEERS Carl

Should the mascot for the bailout be a condom? I think it's a perfect mascot that reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.
