But the club would not be in his ownership for too long if they were playing to a near-empty stadium. Sadly, not enough fans wishing to make that sacrifice ( but I recognise any, or no action, is an individuals choice).paulie8290 said:

Guarantee that statement would be 100% reversed if it was made to EnglandOnline.
Made purely for the locals and very diplomatic.

He'd fill it with kids and comps in the short term, and reduce the playing budget to compensatehoof_it_up_to_benty said:

To those who thinking having an empty ground would force Roland to change his asking price and conditions, are fooling themselves. It would make no difference. If you look at Blackpool where fans boycotted and they had occasions when there where more away fans at their ground, it made no difference. What got the Oystons out was a legal battle over money, between so called business men. Or look at Coventry, fans shunned games at Northampton and will again at Birmingham I would guess and it will make no difference to the hedge fund company SISU, who still own the football club and that must be nearly 10 years now.5

Boycotting will make it easy for Roland to justify selling the ground and land for a plastic bowl somewhere off a dual carriage way.4

Indeed, he's a sly old dog.Airman Brown said:
Yes, the great RD media operation which recently put a CARD statement in full on the club website, referred to fans as "soft terrorists", demanded publicly that the EFL bought the club and routinely publishes statements that fall apart factually within hours has delivered another Machiavellian triumph via a Welsh website. In other news, the moon landings have been exposed as fake just weeks before the 50th anniversary of the first one...TellyTubby said:
So it was Roland that leaked this news when he knew it was going nowhere. He's playing fans like a fiddle.TellyTubby said:Calm down everyone and just think about how excited CL was this time last year.
It's new season ticket application time again. That's the reason this has come out now and how many bought them last year cos they thought Roland was going?0 -

His 'top of the page' posts have turned into an absolute shambles.6 -
Nothing coming from Cawley which is strange.1

If this gent is the "banker" that was rumored to be in the background then he has been about for a good few months. He will be aware that Rolands ego didn't visit planet Earth very often.He could have purchased a DD from one of the previous interested parties and his own experts do a gap analysis on it,therefore not starting at ground zero.
Options open to the gent from Cardiff:
*Stay there
*Leave football
*Leave and join as the majority partner in CAFC with what ever there is left of the Aussies
*Leave and be the total owner of CAFC
One statement he HASN'T put out "there is NO truth in the rumour that I'm leaving Cardiff.There is NO truth in the rumour im attempting to buy CAFC"
Sadly I feel that the Rat will be here at the start of this season,and we will face a very very tough future

I know this has been covered ad nauseam but if we were down to 5 thousand at the beginning of last season because of mass boycotting then Cullen, Bielik and the goal scoring Wembley hero Purrington wouldn't have been brought in and Taylor would've chose Sunderland instead of cafc.PeterGage said:

The boycotting on a mass scale may have seen Duchatelet depart earlier But I'm convinced we would be starting from League 2 as some of the guys said was a price worth paying back all those years ago on that cold night in Woolwich to see the back of RD. That nightmare scenario could still be the outcome despite the fans answering Lee Bowyers clarion call and coming out in our numbers to help get Cafc promoted.
Now back to the non sale of Charlton.3 - Sponsored links:

Ignoring the non-denial denial, the very fact he gave that interview tells me he’s not even close.
If we were a matter of days away why give an interview at all and potentially back yourself in to a corner?
This still has a very long way to go.3 -
Boycotting would only work if you had owners who couldn't afford to live with their losses from football - RD is obviously not in this category.soapboxsam said:

A "statement of definite intent to remain at Cardiff" would look something like this:addick05 said:sam3110 said:To me it reads more like a I"can't say anything about it so I'm going to say what Cardiff wants to hear for now" statement.
Doesn't mean it's dead, just means he's a diplomatic person who realises everything he says from now on will be under intense scrutiny so until he becomes our owner (if that happens at all) he is 100% committed to the people that currently employ him
Seriously?If that's not a statement of definite intent to remain at Cardiff I don't know what is.
It isn't going to happen. We're doomed, doomed, doomed.
"I can confirm that I intend to remain at Cardiff. While there has been speculation linking me to an investment in another club, I can confirm I have no interest whatsoever in doing so. I will not be investing in any other club and remain fully focused on Cardiff City".
And probably wouldn't include the phrase: "Right at this moment in time...".

"Sadly I feel that the Rat will be here at the start of this season, and we will face a very very tough future."
My feelings exactly. Been saying this for weeks (I know I'm not the only one.) Was looking forward to August but now I'm almost dreading it.
