I said in an earlier thread that the guy know what he's doing and glad to see him here.

You don't make money throwing it about, being shrewd and sensible is where it's at.

Can we now reinstate our former Head of IT ....you know the one that was used as a scapegoat by the Diddler???

I'm already impressed by TG's manner. He's obviously well educated but i think he's got an amiable nature to him which is rare.
Let's hope everybody at the club gets behind him but more importantly he needs the fans on his side. I think that with the growing atmosphere and expectation at OUR club we can convey the passion that we all feel for Cardiff City FC.
Is it just me or am i seeing more and more "old boys" in the stands and i think they are generating good vibes with the passion that has obviously never left them, this is being generated to the newer and younger fans that will ultimately be there when we are long gone....good on em. There is definately a feel good factor at the club again right now and although we all know that we can get carried away i think it's time to be patient as a business man will not plan for short term success but build on what he has and this may take time. I would be more than happy if TG came out and said he had a 5 year plan to get us in the premiere league because that is achievable and realistic. I want us to be there next year of course but don't we all haha.

C'mon you Mighty bluebirds

Is Vincent Tan fully entrusting the stewardship of the club to TG?

If so, he must be an honorable man indeed if VT trusts him with £5.4m of his money.

He has, but I am sure he is keeping a close eye on everything through TG, Vincent Tan cant be every where and it was TG who persuaded him to get involved with us.

Correct Steve Borley and Gethin Jenkins will be running Our Club for now on behalf of TG/Vincent Tan and the Rest of the Share holders :ayatollah:

How often does TG plan to be in Cardiff? :ayatollah:

Re: "BIG SAVINGS ALREADY and SHREWD"

Sat May 29, 2010 10:19 am

My only concern is that this Gethin Jenkins is not a football man and does not have the contacts in the football world. How easy will it be for him to conduct our affairs in the transfer market if he does not know other clubs reps and agents? Could it be possible that Sam Hamman can help the club on this side of things as he has vast experience in the transfer market?

There are still one or two still there in certain depts, especially THe DVD Girl.

No But Serious, We now have a New Chief Executive Gethin Jenkins on approx £60,000 a year with No flash car, doing Riddlers job.
There is No need to Replace The Riddlers Chums as the staff are already at the club, All the Riddler did was push the original staff aside and make new titles lol.

With TG at the Helm I can See Our club being Run like a proper Business :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
