    Ok so he was at Leeds and we all know what happened there. Big money spent etc.

    Now he's at Cardiff. They are in trouble as well. Big players i.e Jimmy Floyd and God(Robbie Fowler) don't come cheap.

    Would you let him manage your childs piggy bank??

    No he's not a muppet (who wouldn't like to treat a football team as the ultimate game of Champo), but whoever let him become chairman is.

    i dont understand how he was allowed back in...if it happened in the business world he wouldnt be permitted to become a CEO for 10 years.

    read Broken Dreams, it goes into more detail about what a muppet the guy was at Leeds.

    May be of interest to those who dislike Venables as much as I do as well.

    Sam Hamman is the guy behind the bank that Cardiff owe money too. Why is he now demanding the money to be repaid when it is alledged that the money is not due for another few years !! Especially with his close ties to the club:confused:

    The bank demanding the money, something to do with the planning permission of the new ground.
