It was a shock last month when news emerged that Cardiff City were taken to court by the tax man to face a winding up order. The club were given 70 days to clear an undisclosed debt.
Chairman Peter Ridsdale, although annoyed that news in the public domain has got into the public domain (!!), was quick to assure supporters agreement had already been reached with HMRC but it created an air of suspicion and also came as a surprise to the potential Malaysian investors.
Late last night, there were more worried fans as Cardiff City were listed in the London High Court this morning to face another winding up order ... however, it turned out to be great news as the hearing was to dismiss the previous order.
In a short statement this afternoon, the club confirmed, "that the High Court today formally dismissed the winding up order that had previously been brought by HMRC. This was as a result of amicable discussions between the Club and HMRC. We are grateful for their co-operation and support".
Reasons to be cheerful then
