Cardiff City Football Club are in a financial mess - but they are not yet prepared to spell out the truth to their customers - the fans.
Cardiff City Supporters Trust,which has 700-plus members, is now trying to gather enough support from shareholders to force an extraordinary meeting of the club's shareholders.
But they shouldn't have to. It should be called now - not in six or eight weeks.
The arrogant way the club's board has treated its fans is frankly appalling.
It seems that trading standards may also get involved after complaints from supporters over the club's failure to meet its pledge of bringing in new players - if fans bought their season tickets early.
Many fans would have bought the tickets early if the club explained its financial position - but instead it misled them.
Now Peter Ridsdale and his board hang on in at Cardiff City for one reason - to see if they can sell the club and pocket a nice pay-out as shareholders.
Let's hope the situation is sorted, including payment of the tax bill, so Cardiff do not end up in the same mess as Leeds United.
