Some shady, some disinterested others off the wall and a couple without a pot to piss in. For my money Tan (rebrand aside) Bob Grogan and maybe TG are the best of the bunch. Any older fans agree ?
An Interesting but dangerous topic! I'm also an older fan, and remember Bob Grogan having such an affinity for the club.
TG was a perfect gentleman, and I wished he could have stayed longer.
For me without a shadow of any doubt it's Marmite Sam, and I am happy to use that term as, like the current incumbent, splits opinion.
Sam raised the profile, grabbed the interest and attention, didn't just support the club as a fan, but fell in love with it, and all that rubbed off on everyone involved at the time.
He started the journey that led us to the Premier League, that led to the new stadium, that led to the return of numbers through the turnstiles. It was because of him that players wanted to come to CARDIFF CITY.
He brought the first sustained success I had known at our club, and turned us from an ailing, failing nothing of a club to a club the City could be proud of.
I won't talk about the current ownership, but for me if Sam were to return to the club he loved, we can kick on again.
