Malaysians To The Rescue & Bye Bye Peter? (Is it too good to be true?)

Last week, Cardiff City Football Club appeared to be at death’s door with no way out. Could it possibly be true that salvation may be close?

Rumours appear to be gathering pace that the Malaysians are ready to make their move and oversee some sweeping changes.

The rumor mill has it that following successful talks with Steve Borley in Malaysia last week, real action and intent will roll out this week and will feature;

Data Chan Tien Ghee (T.G.) will fly into U.K. to spend at least 3 days finalising a deal later this week.

Vincent Tan, a multi-millionaire, will be backing T.G. which is exciting news.

They will invest significant money by the end of the week, £6M has been the widely touted figure.

They believe promotion is still acheieveable this season and will be backing Dave Jones.

However they are not back Peter Ridsdale and want his departure as soon as possible. Whether still in situ or not by the weekend, The Malaysians do not wish him to be at Sunday’s home game with Watford – a real show of change.

Steve Borley will be asked to run the club until the end of the season which he has agreed which has to include talks with creditors, concluding agreements and payments over winding up orders and more.

What’s uncertain from these rumours are whether the Malaysians are backing the short-term only or here for the ride but fears that the club could hit the floors within days and not meet its next wage bill could certainly be overcome by this news.

Potentially, this is all good news, every bit of it very welcome. Please let it be true and not more agony for Bluebird followers worldwide.
