' Vincent Tan puts £20 million in '

Updated 19:36
I stand corrected on the following,regarding the building of the New Upper Stand, I might be wrong it might not be all grants, i am told there has been some, but i have since been told Tan did lend a lot of the money for it to be built.

I believe Vincent Tan put/lent Cardiff City more money in May/June 2014 in the region of £20 mill.

But what I dont know is what for?

We are getting massive parachute payments

The New Ninian Upper Stand was paid by grants

We know Tan wants at least £8 mill back for Caulker,£10 mill for Medel and has turned down loan offers.

We know he wants Kenwyne Jones of the books £37,500 a week

Was the £20 million for Ole's war chest to take us back up?

Are we trying to sell Marshall to recoup some money?

As I have said before Langston has now been virtually paid in full the £24 mill, just over a mill left to pay as its paid monthly.
Once paid Sam/Langstons Director then leaves the board.

Tan while we were in the Premier League was still putting in/lending the Club £2/£3 mill a month, its unbelievable when you think about all the money we received for being up there

Tv money gets paid in installments so he would have to put money in for cash flow annis but I bet he will get it back we would of turned over around 100 million last season if we sell some players this summer our balance sheet should look much better than a year ago

just a thought
could he be trying to keep our debt in line with what we are owed
therefore when that money comes in we could be debt free hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
it would also include any money coming in from player sales
this might help with the financial fair play rules
THOUGHTS

I seriously can't remember the last time our balance improved so fingers crossed you're right. Is VT perhaps 'tidying up' before trying to sell us.

I don't know the reason why VT has had to put a further £20+ into the club over the last 2 months but if he has then there must be a reason for him doing it.

One reason could be that further installment payments are due on transfers that the club has made over the last couple of seasons. Nowadays most clubs pay for transfers by installments just like Barcelona with the Suarez deal so that could be one of the reasons.

Another has to involve the completion on the Ninian Stand extension which I believe will cost between £10 - £12m, an investment promised by VT at the time of his re-brand. I've not heard a single word until today about any of these costs receiving any form of grant let alone being paid by grant. If any monies will be received in grant form I would think the bulk would be received after completition.

Another promise VT made was to sort out the Langston situation which it appears has been done albiet at a cost of £24m which let's face it has given SH a real get out of jail card. But at the very least VT has honoured his promise to resolve the issue even if we now owe him and not SH.

By the end of this transfer window the club should be well in the "Black" in regards transfer dealings which together with the £23m PL parachute payments should help ensure the club returns another profit, I understand the accounts will show a profit for last season, for this coming season.

What we now need from VT is for him to accept that his re-brand has not been accepted by the majority of the fanbase and he gets his "compromise" head on a sorts the issue out.

We need unity between everyone with owner, team and fans ALL singing from the same hymn sheet to help maximise our chances of success on the pitch next season.

Excellent post Castleblue (as always)

Best post I've read for a while. Nice one, mate.

have to agree with of that castleblue

what ever reason think its safe to say tan as a plan, which has probably been in place a long time? there is no chance of him losing money to any degree or just pulling out, so we will just have to wait and see what happens in future. leave money matters to him as nothing us fans can do to alter things! we need to just concentrate on regaining blue back.

Its the modern game. Its not my money so I'm not that bothered.

If Mr Tan wants to keep putting that amount of money into the club then its fine by me.

It's called cash flow.

It's called cash flow.

Thats quite a flow!

Good post castle, totally agree

What does I believe mean Annis?

Simply answer this then

Where as it all gone then

-- every month --- no one in there right mind would keep chucking money in --- especialy after being relegated
if no long term return plan


malky gone for wasting millions -
so why they still at the club milking millions each month ?


the club just getting deeper into debut


VT : should be a legend for all his money contribution to the club - how silly to mess about with colour and badge

bath away yesterday was three sides of ground ll blue --- why are people at the club saying colour and badge does not matter ? when it clearly does

to much tick for tack but never going to beat home fans of any club of there traditions football is a game and passion for the people and not for business although run correctly big clubs do make millions but still look after their fans


smaller clubs with certain millionaires will not now or ever will beat fan power

I've heard only 500 k was Grant rest by the club /tan ,if tan has paid for all the signings ,expansion and put money in for wages then Cardiff city must be in over 100 million profit this season a lot of people forget that we generated massive amounts ts last season.

I hope so. I so really hope so!!

Regarding the building of the New Upper Stand, I might be wrong it might not be all grants, i am told there has been some, but i have since been told Tan did lend a lot of the money for it to be built.

annis problem is no one seems to know level of money owed to tan with any degree of acuracy, if its not part of original statement it must mean what is owed to him is far higher than original quoted! not that i am worried as its obviously gone behond that stage now with size of debt. tan is here for the forseable future thats for sure!

What does I believe mean Annis?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hmmm it means I believe but yes he has lent us another £20mill.

So you mean it's been made up in your head.
