Cardiff City name change

The Malaysian owner of Cardiff has said that if Cardiff win promotion to the premiership there could be another rebranding of the club and has not ruled out changing the clubs name to Cardiff Dragons.

Up to May 2012 the club recorded losses of £13.6m with an overall recorded debt of £83.1m.

he also said he would not walk away if promotion was not secured.

"If the fans welcome me, I can stay for a long time," he said, promising a further £25m to manager Malky Mackay for new players should they go up.

"But if I find they are not welcoming and rude, then maybe I will find a new buyer and go off. But if I were to sell, I'd make sure I would leave it in good hands."

That sounds to me that if he gets bored with it all he will just up and go and they could end up going the way of Portsmouth.

 

With a bit of luck! Fed up of these teams trying to spend their way to the Premiership. Really hope these and Leicester fail to go up although can't see it happening

 

that was my biggest fear about Wednesdays take over i was dreading someone coming a long and changing the name to Sheffield North End, or something

 

South Yorkshire Super Duper Owls.

 

Sheffield Hillsborough Internatzionale Thistle or S.H.I.T for short

 

Re: Won't happen

....primarily because the league won't allow it. Vincent Tan is blisfully unaware of many things concerning football - much like the Venkys at Blackburn not knowing about relegation. He's since retracted the statement btw - and the highly edited statement in the original post is lazy "journalism", entirely out of context and based on the editors interpretation when picking out selected bits of the interview.

 

tweat me like a god or else I'll cwy and pout and stamp my foot and take my ball home!

 

Saying that the FL allowed Wimbledon to become MK Dons ok that also coincided with a move

 

I didn't know Young Nudger had taken over there.

 

Name changes are permitted. There's plenty of precedent.

Over a century ago Everton changed their name to Liverpool. The original Everton moved from anfield to goodison park, the new club was called Everton football club and athletes ground limited - which would have been Everton athletic to differentiate them from t'other Everton. They changed it to Liverpool.

In Scotland until recently, rangers were Glasgow rangers, they are now 'the rangers football club'.

And in England there's probably loads of other cases but Stevenage dropped 'Borough' from their name in 2010.

If the man wants to change the name he will. He might have retracted it - but he also completely dropped plans to change their kit to red when the fans kicked off. And then did it anyway after threatening to piss off if they didn't have it.
