WELL ANOTHER WEEK WILL HAVE GONE AND ANOTHER

Thu Dec 03, 2009 8:03 am

Friday will be upon us and Peter Ridsdale keeps saying this week or by this Friday all will be signed, Come on Peter even I know Sam will sign, but you have to give him something in return. He wants to be remembered by his name on something etc. This is becoming more about PR and SH than about our club and its fans.

Why cant they find him some kind of role at the club because at the end of the day if it wasnt for sam we would not be where we are now in the league he did have his vaults but his heart was in the club

This all worries me as it also makes me think its about PR not Cardiff City.

How about his own brick on the "city Walk". :o

I think it's about 50 letter per brick. So what should should he have on it?

As long as the £50 for the brick gets knocked off the £10M !

Look if it helps i will ask my father in law if sam can park his car outside his gaff in Canton. :lol:

For £10m I suppose he could buy enough City Walk bricks to park his car on. Problem sorted!

No serious, sometimes you have to give to receive and thats how Sam is playing it. I am not saying he is right, but I wouldnt want to write £10 mill of for nothing back.

Doesn't seem too much to ask for, does it? In exchange for taking a £5million hit, Sam Hammam gets a parking space and honourary President or some such non-executive title!

PR needs to stop being petty.

In all honesty, give what Sam wants and it writes off £10 million.

It's not much too ask for!

Guys, I'm only joking with my City Walk posts. Just a bit of fun to lighten up what is a frustrating situation for us fans.

The club owes Sam a lot of money but also some gratitude for what he started. If Sam is willing to write off a lot of the money owed then maybe we can start to forgive and forget and if that means giving him some recognition then it seems fair.

If we come out of this with no debt to Langstone and the major threat to the club removed then in my eyes Sam may have redeemed himself and I would welcome him back to watch us play etc. For him to be an active part of the club though is something I couldn't stretch to, yet.

Forgetting all the politics and difficulties, the atmoshpere when Sam was around was a different class, a real passion that started with the chairman and spread to us all. We could do with a bit of that right now.

This is one aspect of Sams tenure that Ridsdale will never be able to replicate, no matter how much he tries to convince the supporters that he has now become a Cardiff fan!
I'm sure that Sam, wouldn't be happy with the atmosphere at the CCS, and would be pro-active in finding ways to improve it.

Sam was the best and the worst of our club in his time. Nobody can argue the Leeds atmosphere was the best atmosphere ever, only rivalled by the playoff final and maybe the FA Cup Final. However, his time has gone. I don't want his name physically associated with the club in a President role or whatever role.

I can understand Ridsdale refusing Hammam that role because it's just an arrogant request on Sam's behalf. Why does he want to have his name forever associated with our club in such a physical form? However, refusing such things as a car park space just seems petty by Ridsdale and for the sake of £10m he is just cutting off his nose to spite his face it seems.

Give him a car parking space and name the premier club restaurant after him, a few pictures dotted around - afterall he is part of our history.

Has he already got a seat for life in the directors box ? if not give him a premier seat.
