So, despite all the assurances that it wouldn't happen following fan's outcries when the proposed changes were leaked a few weeks back, it's been confirmed that Cardiff will play in red next season (blue away shirts) and the club crest will change to be a red dragon with a bluebird shoved in at the bottom.

The £100 million investment promised is sorely needed for a club haemorrhaging £1 million a month but considering that already includes the £40 million invested so far I wonder how much will be left over after the costs of the rebrand and making over a stadium we've only had a couple of seasons to paint everything red?

Fans are split and the (former?) Bluebirds forums are like war zones.

Thought I'd put this up as a poll to see what people would feel if it was their own club in this position. Is it the pragmatic choice to ensure a future for the club or should football be about more than just money?
