ALAN WHITLEY

I notice his name is popping up a lot as an egg chaser and someone we need rid of? is there any reason for this.
When he was at Eversheds Solicitors (a while ago now) all he would talk about was Cardiff City and never mention the egg once. Someone posted up his profile in another thread and his past is all football as well (rather than egg) AND IS A CITY FAN.

I think it was Annis or Carl that also said before he brought TG and co to the table.
So im left wondering what he has done said to now be one of the bad guys on the board?

It wont let me edit but I do know his name is Alan Whiteley before anyone picks it up

anyone feeling kinda lonely here now

Isn't he just a representative of P.M.G on the board?

Correct. Big City fan.

I used to play alongside Alan for Bryntirion FC - Thoroughly decent chap and a big city fan

Correct. Big City fan.

What do you mean ya chopsy c**t?

i couldnt give a f**k about the politics.

Isn't he just a representative of P.M.G on the board?

No, he's one of the largest shareholders in is own right.

I believe though he is a 'friend' of Guy.

I also belive

a. He has earnt money of the club
b. He has put in a lot of work for the club
c. He's got the clubs interests at heart.

Sorry Tim, I was under the impression that he was just looking out for P.M.G's interests? Hence his placement on the board?


Can you update me on what he actually does for the club? Not a dig just a question. His name only creeps up when were in the shit.

As you were so nice to me last time, Whitely is successful senior partner of his own legal firm and I believe also has involvement in a finance consultancy business. He is a major shareholder at CCFC and I understand highly involved in the deal to bring the Malaysians in. And as I said before a city fan. I suspect his name comes up when we are in a mess as he gets involved in the legal side of things.

Sorry mate, I don't know any more than that.

I wouldnt know what specifically he does but no doubt its the legal work, he is one of the top in his field and what he doesnt know he would have the top contacts to find out.

Cheers 2blue2handle


It was just a question.

Yeah I know mate
I only know him and of him slightly and that he is a big city fan.

So I wondered why Annis and Carl refer to him as someone very much on the outside and an egg chaser. Im guessing he was part of the board to Shaft/get rid of Sam but other than that I dont see why he has been thrown in the egg bracket

i hear his name mentioned but know nothing about the guy myself.

sorry i cant answer your question

How and why?

Im still no the wiser....

Does he work for M & A Solicitors?

If so they appear as the club's legal representatives on all the paperwork lodged at Companies House.

You have to admire anyone who could sell a Peters Pie for £75m

Those Premier Pies are top-notch though.
