Mon Jan 25, 2021 6:31 pm

The Club today held a meeting with the Different Supporters Clubs & the CCFC Trust.

Cardiff City Chairman Mehmet Dalman, Ken Choo, Wayne Nash & Supporters liaison Adam represented Cardiff City.

Also

The senior partner from the law firm (Capital Law) was also in attendance.


Great News: Cardiff City receive direct all £10 home match day online monies from fans(No sharing with EFL or other clubs) & virtually all the £10's the fans pay for away games :thumbright: :bluebird:



Just reading in Sky Sports Twitter ALL Revenue from clubs own streams stays with the clubs .

Why was it originally put out City were not making in it. They actually keep 100% of the money and rightly so :thumbright: :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:



Finances / Future / Court Cases / Managers / Players / Fans were All Discussed :bluebird: :bluebird:

Anything Dalman financially could not answer Ken Choo answered.




Ken Choo thanked the fans for paying their £10 to watch the games and said every little helps. He stated, "PLEASE CONTINUE" to watch.



Emiliano Sala Trust Fund

Dalman stated that the finalisation of the Fund was only a matter of weeks away.

Apparently Vincent Tan / CCFC are involved in 3 serious Court Cases, could cost Cardiff City £50million and the words the cases have turned nasty was used and City could lose all 3 cases.


Emiliano Sala case could end up costing CCFC up to £25mill

Michael Isaacs suing for £10mill for his 2% stake in CCFC.

Langston suing for up to £15mill for an agreement Tan signed with them and has not been resolved.

Tan had a offer to sell the club, but turned it down, hmmm.
They actually said it was a good offer as well.


Dalman received this question with a degree of impatience. He stated that VT had received offers to buy the club, one of which he considered to be generous but was turned down by VT.




Chairman Dalman and another CCFC representative had to go to France just before Xmas to make a statement to the Police over Emiliano Sala.




The senior partner from the law firm (Capital Law) acting for the club in the dispute between CCFC and Nantes was at the meeting and said that they were continuing to build up evidence in support of the club’s defence against the Nantes claim for Emiliano Sala transfer fee.





Vincent Tan Conversion of Debt to Equity

The issue of the five-year deadline for the promised conversion of debt to equity will be in February 2021. The meeting recognised that Tan had taken significant steps towards this goal had been made. However, Choo confirmed that no further conversions had been made since the last set of accounts.

They were asked about why there were not loads of CCFC flags everywhere over the seatings and all over the ground on match days and one supporters said its a disgrace and Newport County was better run for its supporters and organisation.

No proper fans engagement / not enough out to the fans, very disappointing said one fan.

The fans were told that the Club is losing £3mill a month at present.


When asked does that include incomes like, Advertisement/ Sponsors/ merchandise / Sky money and parachute payments, they were told No theyve not included them.

So the reply was then we are not losing £3mill a month, Dalman declined to answer.

The group of fans were told that Cardiff fans did not appreciate that the Committee had gone out and brought in young managers like Paul Trollope and Neil Harris, so we have tried that way.

The Committee tried for a young/modern big name and he turned us down saying "I want bigger things and a bigger club to manage."
"I am also more ambitious than Cardiff they were told, I can better myself."

So the fans were told we have now turned to the old style Mick McCarthy.

Big Mick McCarthy has told us that he feels the squad is full of quality,was impressed with it and impressed with the younger ones as well.
He does not know yet if he needs to improve it.

One fan said 5yrs ago Mr Dalman you promised a football man in the boardroom and still no one.

Dalman replied what would that achieve,

Fan said but that was your idea 5yrs ago.

Dalman was asked is Vincent Tan still committed to CCFC.

But he has had most of that back.

That sums up the board in my eyes. Do they think that there is only one young and modern manager out there? So because trollop and Harris were poor managers, that is them done with 'young' managers?

Sorry but this sounds like the same old bullshit from Dalman.

I've said before and others have said that he should have been a politician and it's true.

Reading this, nothing has changed my negative thoughts about how the club is run.

Was Sala insured? Poor guy, fu.. tragic that. That image of his dog in by front door will haunt me forever.

That’s what you get when you have a Tory poltiican wannabe on the board! The guy is Arrogant and has merely fuelled the fire!! Pleading poverty losing 3 million a month but they don’t account for the revenue from parachute payments etc! That stinks!! Where is that money going then mehmet!!! The whole; we tried young on Harris and Trollope and tried to get a good young manger who told us no! Lies; we all know you didn’t mehmet

Funny how they ignored the question.
I would like to see Cardiff City's most successful players around our seats so like Earnshaw, Hudson, McPhail, Chopra, Bothroyd, Whittingham, Kavenough, Ledley, Ramsey, Gunnarsson, Turner, Mason, Jerome, Thorne. And get cameras showing them during a match when the ball is out of play. I think something like this would be amazing visually for everyone watching.

Not just this I really want our goal nets white and blue to show off our team more at home. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Thought the £3 mill loss was far fetched. Why fail to mention the obvious income? Bizarre!

"I want bigger things and a bigger club...... more ambitious than the club"

A damning statement of what we've become.

Question: should we match a managers ambition if it is higher than the club's ambition?

Would be nice if the ones shelling out this year for a ST could have massive discount next year.
