Wow. Why, has Tan had a change of heart, or has his heart failed and he's no longer with us?

In a pile of football shirts
And a change to the club badge to show a prominent bluebird emblem as the dominant image.

Cardiff have gone back to their blue kit

It has been announced this afternoon that Cardiff City Football Club will play in a blue home kit for the remainder of the 2014/15 season. The decision to switch colours has been approved by The Football League.

Wow. Presumably that's just a switch to one of their "away" kits then.

Times must be bad if Tan has bent over to that request. Perhaps the 4,000 crowd for their last FA Cup tie persuaded him that fans won't always follow blindly.

Sounds like they will be swapping their Home and Away kits around for the rest of the season, also re-designing the badge so the Bluebird takes prominence again. The statement from Tan on the Cardiff website is fantastic, it basically comes down to "My Mum told me to do it"

The Christmas and New Year period has given me time to reflect on the events of the last year. Spending time with my family had a profound effect upon me. My mother, Madam Low Siew Beng, a devout Buddhist, who attended Cardiff City Football Club to watch them play, spoke to me on the importance of togetherness, unity and happiness.

Cardiff City Football Club is important to me and I wish to see it united and happy. With the guidance, blessing and influence of my mother, I asked my Chairman, Mehmet Dalman and Chief Executive Officer, Ken Choo for their advice and to consult with a good cross-section of the fan base.

This meeting took place last night, when some seventy representatives of our supporters were present. My thanks and gratitude to those who gave up their evening and time to be there. I am informed that this was a very productive and frank exchange of views, but all with the same objective to strengthen our Club. These views were also added to by a large number of emails that were sent to the Club over the last 24 hours from our wider supporter base.

To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, “Let us never compromise out of fear. But let us never fear to compromise.”

My wish is to unite and make the Club successful and in order to achieve this I fully support the Board’s decision to implement the following changes:

1. Starting from Saturday, 10 January 2015 and until the end of this season, our home kit shall be Blue. Our Away Kit shall be Red. I would like to thank the Football League for their approval to facilitate my request.

2. For the 2015/16 season, Cardiff City’s home kit colour shall be Blue. Our Away Kit colour shall be Red.

3. The Club badge will be redesigned to reflect the dominance of the Bluebird, while celebrating the proud history and heritage of the Club. I also wish to incorporate elements representative of my culture and beliefs, which I hope are respected.

4. As the Chairman has explained, the debt to equity resolution is not straightforward. We will deal with this in due course, with all decisions made in the best interest of the Club.

5. For the 2015/16 Season, Non Price Freeze Season Tickets will be reduced and Price Freeze Season Tickets shall be adjusted accordingly to match these prices.

I very much hope these steps will bring unity, success and happiness to our Club.

The challenge ahead for us is enormous and I truly believe we will overcome these obstacles as a united Club. I believe with divine blessings, Cardiff City Football Club will achieve great success.

Warm regards

A Buddha on the badge then? Flair!

This is the bit I can't get over. No. Your "beliefs" won't be respected. Why should your culture make it anywhere near the badge of a football club?

Just shows if the fans had had the balls to stand up to him originally this would never have happened.
