All I ask at this stage is rally round to support this club and help us undo 5years of the previous setting. We have to do this together whether as a fan, shareholder, employee and so on.
We have the resolve and I want the fans to have the resolve to. We need all the support we can get."

I can confirm this, It's pretty much what TG told me today...let's get behind them 100%

You've got to laugh at the situation or you'd cry.

Is this becoming the biggest conspiracy theory at the club ever or will it come true?

Sam hit a brick wall in dealing with the council over building a new stadium. Whilst he was there it would never happen.

He brings in PR who stabs him in the back giving the look of pure hatred between them and the appearance that they were definately on opposite sides.

Just enough effort is put in by Langston in renegotiating their debt so that the club stays alive. And keeps getting the minimal investment it needs.

The stadium gets built and PR makes monumental cock ups so that he has to leave. But before he's does he makes a massive mistake (not) in not getting a Langston agreement signed. this paves the way for Sam to walk back into the club a major shareholder with the stadium built. You couldn't make it up. :D

If Langston's £24 mil has never been paid then i reckon since sam has left player sales must be well above that total , so where has ALL that money gone then ?? And did Riddler really f**k up the contract with Sam so he can just walk back in , I bet PMG must be tamping whilst the Malaysians are rubbing their hands togethor ............... no wonder they only wanted 30 odd % of the shares , clever guys !!!! :ayatollah:

So, this great news you keep mentioning is the return of Sam Hammam?

God help us.

Surely if the club want some funds, let more shares be offered to fans? They didn't sell £1.7mil of shares am I correct?

I'm sure fans would love to say they have shares in their own club?

As Carl mentioned, this will take time and think we will come through it but the fans need to stick together on this. Try and bring new fans in and do what they do best and support the team that wear the blue shirt of CCFC

Assuming it's true and that's not a dig at Carl or Annis, it's a black day for Cardiff City if we have to find £10m from somewhere this year or see the Langston debt go back to £24m. Sam coming back into the boardroom to sit with Guy and Hall will only destabilise the Club further at a time when we hoped that the Malaysians were going to bring things back under control.

Those who are rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of their hero Sam returning to get his revenge on Guy and the others who tucked him up, should stop and think for moment. Whether you love him or loathe him, this increase in our mountain of debt (if true) is disastrous for the Malaysians and Cardiff City and that's all I care about.

Let's wait and see.

we have all made mistakes in our life and am sure we would envy the chance to change them.

let he who is without sin cast the the first stone at her "john 8.7"

I am reading the Echo now.

Just a meeting within the next 10 days between Sam and TG, oh and guess who else will be there? PR

Annis gets an honourable mention, seems you are the catalyst for all this. :D

Yesterday in the very thread I told how Langston must be paid £10 million by the end of the year or it reverts back to £24 million I will explain how and why.

1. There has been 3 agreements with Langston, the first of which was an unsecured loan of £24 million taken out by Sam but not against the club, when the council were in talks with the club over the land for the new stadium they told the club that it could afford a debt of £24 million an dto work it on it.

2. That is why the 2nd agreement came into place, it was £15 million and then £9 million for stadium naming rights, this was done to satisfy the council but the amount remained at £24 million for Langston, whether the 2nd agreement is legally binding is a matter for the courts because of certain actions.

3. The 3rd agreement is the latest one that we all know has been written down to £10 million but due to the incompetence of our previous chairman this agreement has never been signed off, it was agreed but never signed, so that leaves Langston in the driving seat, they could have at any time called in the £24 million but they have remained patient for the good of the club. So it will be £24 million at the end of the year and not increasing to £11 million, then £12 million and so on, this will become public knowledge.

Yesterday I told how we must pay Sunderland £1.5 million for the remainder of the deal, it was reported differently by our then Chairman Peter Ridsdale but today the press backed up my claims exactly.

Today I received a message from TG after he read my Club in Crisis post and I am pleased at his response, here is Tg's message :

"We came through when the club needed the support most. And now you can imagine that we are wading thru 5years of a previous regime.
It is not an easy task. We are 36per cent and have put in 6m pounds as promised.
All I ask at this stage is rally round to support this club and help us undo 5years of the previous setting. We have to do this together whether as a fan, shareholder, employee and so on.
We have the resolve and I want the fans to have the resolve to. We need all the support we can get."
Best regards,
Tg

So I have asked many times for everyone to be patient and there TG is asking to for the fans support and resolve, these malaysians are in it for the long haul let's support them.

Tomorrow, the solution will become more apparent, in tomorrow's Echo there will be big headlines on Sam Hammam and the possibility of his return to Cardiff City, I would welcome Sam's return because Sam cares for our club, Sam knows football and how to succeed in it.
