cast in an unofficial referendum on self-rule. More on that and indeed

all Good evening. Cardiff City owner,

:00:00.:00:16.

Vincent Tan, has told BBC Wales he is willing to reconsider his

:00:17.:00:19.

decision to change the club's colours from blue to red - but only

:00:20.:00:23.

if they return to the Premier League. In an exclusive interview,

:00:24.:00:26.

the Malaysian businessman also said he has no plans to walk away from

:00:27.:00:31.

the club. Today, the Bluebirds bowed out of the Premier League at home to

:00:32.:00:35.

Chelsea. There was one team playing in blue

:00:36.:00:38.

at the Cardiff City Stadium today and one set of fans wishing it was

:00:39.:00:43.

theirs. Cardiff took on Chelsea in their final game in the top flight,

:00:44.:00:46.

with supporters once again showing their determination to bring back

:00:47.:00:51.

the Bluebirds. But owner Vincent Tan says he is determined to bring the

:00:52.:00:55.

club back to the Premier League. If that happens, he has told BBC Wales

:00:56.:00:58.

the club's colour could be reconsidered. I would like to focus

:00:59.:01:03.

on getting the club back to the Premier League and after that I will

:01:04.:01:07.

definitely agree to sit down and find a solution to this. Maybe we

:01:08.:01:19.

can have a compromise. I don't believe him, I think it is a ploy to

:01:20.:01:24.

keep us quiet. Well, they should do it now for the Championship. If the

:01:25.:01:28.

man is putting the money in, I think he calls the shots to a certain

:01:29.:01:31.

degree. Anything he can do to appease the fans regarding the red

:01:32.:01:35.

and blue situation is a good thing. He is just playing games, at the end

:01:36.:01:41.

of the day we want to be blue. The fans might not be convinced yet, but

:01:42.:01:45.

Tan says he wants to unite with them, offering to have a supporter

:01:46.:01:48.

join the board of directors. He is also considering turning a third of

:01:49.:01:52.

the ?150 million owed to him by the club into equity. I will not quit

:01:53.:01:59.

while we are in this situation. I believe a quitter never wins and a

:02:00.:02:05.

winner never quits. It is good to see that Vincent Tan is committed to

:02:06.:02:09.

the future of this club, but actually getting back into the

:02:10.:02:12.

Premier League is going to be very difficult. I think only five clubs

:02:13.:02:15.

have bounced straight back up in the last nine seasons. I think we need

:02:16.:02:19.

to stabilise on and off the pitch, unite the fans and engage with them,

:02:20.:02:23.

and ensure this club goes straight back up to the Premier League. A

:02:24.:02:26.

goal shared by both the supporters and Tan. They will also be hoping

:02:27.:02:30.

for an end to the drama surrounding the mid-season sacking of Malky

:02:31.:02:33.

Mackay. Earlier this week, the former manager halted his legal

:02:34.:02:36.

action and apologised over the issues that led to his dismissal.

:02:37.:02:40.

I'm pleased with the result and I'm also pleased that he has publicly

:02:41.:02:46.

apologised. I said before, one day some people will apologise to me for

:02:47.:02:54.

what they have done. I'm supposed to be the Bond villain, but actually

:02:55.:02:59.

I'm James Bond. As Cardiff's time at the top came to an end today, fans

:03:00.:03:03.

showed their support for the players. Vincent Tan hopes that

:03:04.:03:07.

support will be given to him in the future.

:03:08.:03:10.

A 28-year-old woman is being questioned on suspicion of arson and

:03:11.:03:14.

murder following the death of a man who had been rescued from a fire

:03:15.:03:17.

near Pontypridd. Emergency crews were called to the flat in Ynysybwl

:03:18.:03:21.

on Friday night. A rally was held in Cardiff earlier,

:03:22.:03:25.

as part of global efforts to try and ensure the safe return of more than

:03:26.:03:28.

two hundred schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria. Around fifty people turned

:03:29.:03:32.

up to support the Bring Back Our Girls campaign.

:03:33.:03:37.

Back to football, and Match of the Day follows this bulletin - so if

:03:38.:03:41.

you do not want to know how Cardiff and Swansea fared on the final day

:03:42.:03:45.

of the premiership, you know what to do. Despite holding the lead for

:03:46.:03:51.

much of the game, Cardiff lost 2-1 to Chelsea. Swansea City ended their

:03:52.:03:58.

season on a high though. They won 3-1 at Sunderland, finishing in 12th

:03:59.:04:00.

place in the table. Cricket, and Glamorgan were put into

:04:01.:04:04.

bat by Hampshire on the first day of their Division two County

:04:05.:04:07.

Championship match. They were all out for 224. Hampshire reached 119

for one at close of play. A look at the weather forecast now,

:04:11.:04:12.

with Sue Charles. Good evening. After a weekend that

:04:13.:04:17.

felt like autumn at times, there will be more spring-like weather

:04:18.:04:20.

this week. Sunny spells, some showers, and more settled from

:04:21.:04:22.

midweek onwards. Tonight, clear spells, scattered showers, winds

We will have updates in Breakfast News from 6AM tomorrow. But that is
