apart from taking a non league club the the prem
what did he do at Wimbledon ?
Lose them their ground so he could make a few million !
Wimbledon were league 4 when Sam arrived took them to Top flight football with home gates of 4,000 & away support of sometimes 20 fans, always in Top 10 and beat Liverpool FA Cup Final and was never ever relegated.
It went wrong for Wimbledon under new owners Norwegians.
I have been up there on many many occasions and the majority of fans love Sam still, just a few like you down here who don't.
Funny before Sam came to Cardiff our crowds were 3,000. Later on the main moaners were the new glory hunters, were you one of them Allan?
yes ive met Wimbledon fans that love him too.. and ones that blame him for anything and everything.. including selling that ground that was of little use to their club and which he not Wimbledon owned..
Exactly
they were playing at Selhurst Park in the top tier.. a new ground had been a topic for a number of years but not a new ground built on Plough Lane as it was not suitable...Sam sold 80% of Wimbledon and later sold Plough Lane. listen to some and they make it sound like he had sold the ground they played on..
I know this. if Sam had not come here the chances are id still be watching mid table 4th division football. there would be no CCS and none of us would know who Vincent Tan is... and as you hinted at in a previous post there really were not many of us that actually remember where we were and how hopeless it was..
Spot on and a very honest and true post
Cardiff City were League 4 in debt on the verge of bankruptcy, Ninian Park in a terrible state, crowds of 3,500 and NO one wanted us.
We had not had the Success Sam gave us, for for over 40 years at least.
I would say 85% of the fans at Cardiff City are there nowadays due to Sam Hammam taking over Cardiff City and taking us on an unbelievable journey.
Atmosphere was bouncing once Sam took over.
99% of the fans I have met who slate Sam were not there the season before Sam came when I ask them were they attending.
