Vincent Tan: Cardiff City could be debt-free in 'days'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-23362625

Mr Tan said his total investment in the club so far would be about £120m.

"We are, I think, days away from an agreement."

Mr Tan said if the deal could be done, he could "convert all my loans to equity and make the club financially much more secure and hopefully debt-free".

He added: "That's my goal - to make the club debt-free, so that the club won't be under any threat and after that we just have to manage it prudently, run it like a business."


It was mentioned that he would convert his debt to equity at the time of the rebrand "deal".

It was mentioned a year later in this interview that the club could be debt free in days...

Yet STILL, 2 years on, this club is in more debt that ever & VT has admitted that he has no plans to actually stick to his word and make this club debt free....

So sadly, for me, those who say that the fans are hypocritical for protesting, I'm afraid, are not correct. Tan hasn't stuck to his word, so why should supporters?

So don't worry! It's not your debt!

As long as you keep paying your own mortgage and debts that's all you need to do!

Get off his back. He didn't say how many days :laughing6:

Never believed this would happen. Just never seemed right with the numbers. However he did say it as Alex has shown so he is obliged to keep to his word.

Of course it could still happen but how long do we wait? I've already made my judgement on the guy and he is not one to be trusted.

Not at all Nukes...

He Stated Facts?
That have been stated many times before.
My bullshit?
What calling him out on what is nothing about Tan but about him.
As he said himself "Some have accused me of making up these quotes... so there's one reason to post these quotes."

What he should've said was to all those who have questioned me about Tan here's what I'm taking about...

But he didn't did he...

You on the sauce this evening?

Annis we know what Tan is and What he has done.
His days of fooling the Fanbase are over.

Why do we need reminding ?

Judging by some comments, some DO need reminding... Hence the reason for the post.

Don't know why you're so upset. :laughing6:
