Cardiff City's controversial owner Vincent Tan is considering allowing a fans representative to have a place on the clubs board, according to the Morning Star.

The relationship between the Malaysian businessman and the Cardiff City supporters has been fractious, but the club's decision to bring back the blue shirts has certainly raised optimism that the two parties can finally see eye to eye.

Tan's sudden change of heart became even more evident yesterday, as it was revealed he is "open" to allowing a Cardiff City supporter representative on the board in the coming months.

As reported by the Morning Star, Cardiff City chairman Mehmet Dalman said: "We have already made some bridges and I think this decision (returning the kit colour to blue) will help us us get there much faster.

“I have started meeting with the fans’ group or representatives before every board meeting for them to tell us our views. I’ve got closer to the fans at games and I’d like Vincent to do that because I think he’d actually find it’s a wonderful world.”

Cardiff City Supporters Trust have welcomed the news. after they requested more dialogue between themselves and the club's hierarchy. They are looking forward to a "new era" in the Welsh capital.

A statement from the trust reads: "We are meeting club executives next month and hope that this will mark the beginning of a new era. Mr Tan has mooted the idea of a supporter representative on the club’s board.

“We have seen what a success having a Supporter Trust director on the board has been at Swansea City and we would like to see a democratically elected representative on Cardiff City’s board.”
