Malaysian businessman and property magnate Dato Chan Tien Ghee - known to all at the club at T.G. - has returned to Kuala Lumpur after a visit, watching two Cardiff City matches and three days of talks with Bluebirds supremo Peter Ridsdale whose is unusually tight-lipped at presenting telling South Wales Echo only that the talks "went well, that's all there is to say at the moment".
He could certainly not possibly have picked a better time to visit and is reported to have been thrilled watching City demolish Derby 6-1 last Tuesday when he went on to meet the players and he was also in London at the weekend watching them trounce Watford 4-0.
Ridders and the club are desperate for financial shake up and restructure, there are even rumours of a possible cashflow problem after more money had to be poured into the new stadium development, last season's play-off failure, the failure to get stadium naming rights and other anticipated commerical opportunites to expected levels in the recession and even not being able to sell Ross McCormack or Joe Ledley in the recent transfer window for differing reasons.
Therefore any investment is to be welcomed and will be actively persued, T.G. certainly seems as if he can offer potential. Two visits by Risdale to the Far East and now T.G.'s visit here suggests things are developing nicely but time will tell what, if anything, it all means.
