Did I say the club was well run previously, can you please show where I said that. I was just stating a fact that the club under Tan as carried more debt than ever before


You said that the amount of debt we are carrying "is down to Tan" which is clearly wrong. We had millions of pounds of debt when Tan took over.

The sooner we can cut ties with that man, the better. Things have been a lot more positive with his limited involvement. I will never welcome him back... and I still want an apology from him for the rebrand and the total disrespect he showed the club and the fans.

The debt level was very low compared to the level it is at now. Surely you have to admit that, the figures don't lie

We might have been Cardiff City AFC in the Welsh league though!! Im not saying Tan is a saviour I'm just saying to justify your argument you have to balance the positive - the negative influence he's had. The rebrand was a terrible negative which is showed by this debate now!!! The way I look at it is I've forgiven the rebrand and I'm willing to give him my support based on his actions today and over the past year in admitting his mistakes and backing our Manager!! It's going to be an exciting year and I can't wait!!!

That was the real scare factor threatening to align us with the Welsh league. However and I strongly believe this is that would have never happened regardless of what solvency we went through. If Merthyr can keep their status I'm pretty sure we could have done.

Totally agree the Welsh league issue was just scare tactics that some people bought into. I would never have happened.

He's making up for his wrong doings, but probably more to recoup and level out his losses than his love for the club. He tore the soul from this club and spoke about that'5%' like we we were expendable. He was wrong. We were here before and we'll be here after he goes.

That being said the club is being run well and he's paying the debt off, so I'm happy with how he's doing things now and I'd prefer it if it stayed that way. he should stay in Malaysia and leave the club to the Dalman and choo.

No fucker will forgive him for what he did and I don't blame them but what irritates me most is him complaining Marshall not scoring enough goals. A f*cking goalkeeper like the clueless mug. Clearly doesn't know f*cking anything about the sport or the club and he knows damn well that the fans do not like him at all. He may as well just sell the club like many have said and f**k off home.

I personally will never forgive or forget what he done. He turned fans against each other and showed a total disrespect to the fans of our club.

The best solution for all parties is Tan to sell the club and cut all ties with the club.


Tan didn't turn fan against fan. Some bully boys who thought they were more Cardiff than any other fans decided to make threats and publicly back the red in maybe the hope of some sort of reward I'm guessing.

No joke Jules, I welcomed TG/Malaysia and I feel TG was very sincere regarding Cardiff City, he told us at the shareholders meeting while he was at Cardiff City we would always be BLUE and PROUD,then Tan arrived and TG was kicked out,Very Sad really, so No jokes,maybe it was to you Jules :roll: :roll: :roll:

His limited involvement still includes him putting a million a month into the club and writing off a few million pounds worth of debt....limited involvement ha ha

I no longer have any problem with Tan and would have no problem if he wanted to come to a game. He messed up big time with the rebrand however it's been rectified now.

I'm not someone to keep ooking backwards and am 100% happy the club is not going forward and being run in the correct manner now.

People always think the grass is greener and a new owner would some how make the club better, isn't the case a lot of the time.

He hasn't done anything criminal, but would I welcome him back....NO. That vindictive little man ripped the heart and soul from my beloved club. I for one, will never forgive him. Bluebird til I die.

he was prepared to drop the rebrand and not invest the 100 million.was then convinced by others that the original anti rebrand outbursts was knee jerk reaction and given the choice investment /possible sucess was wanted..and lets face it how many demanded their ST money back like the club offered.?..were crowds effected by the rebrand..?..and where were the imediate on going daily protests at the club..youd get more resistence if asda cafe took beans off the cafe menu is truth.
lots of people decided to take a stance AFTER he spent his loot

so it could be argued that our fans at the time were equally resposible, besides when he does leave the debt will either leave with him or not matter to the new owner...and it hasnt stopped us signing players.


Dogfound you are absolutely right but you are wasting your time. You can keep telling the truth until you are blue in the face but some, like Blue Ebbw, would rather wallow in their ignorant hatred. I do wonder whether such people were around when we were wondering from week to week whether the club would survive another, or when we were so badly funded that supporters had to finance the acquisition of players of the quality of Nogan,

Nomatter what the moaners may wish to believe Tan continues to bankroll this club and I would personally have
him back rather that listen to the continual moaning by such negative influences.



people always convieniently leave out the bits where there were not protests outside the ground from day one.. and ive seen plenty...a popular player gets sold or a manager gets sacked and suddenly theres a crowd with home nad banners on SSN..not here.

and how he did infact offer to not go ahead with the rebrand.
to mildly dislike him after taking his money is a bit rich...to hate him..wow.
had this rebrand happened with a backdrop of falling attendances..protests in the ground..protests daily outside the main stand...id begin to see this hatred thing.
i didnt want to play in red either.and hope if anything like that happened again ..WE would stop it..but on the evidence of this rebrand pple moan now more than they did when it could actuall been prevented ..PRIOR TO THE MONEY BEING INVESTED.

It's weird. I felt like part of a tiny minority opposing Tan and the rebrand at the time like a few of us on here.

I really get the feeling that it's unusual how many are openly anti rebrand now. I'm not pointing fingers at people in this thread but I really feel it doesn't add up. Brighton home was 95% red scarves.

Call me a tw*t but I feel many people went against Tan and the rebrand once we were relegation bound.

Your 100% right many did.

That night v Brighton, I walked out after 30 mins feeling sick , I even thought of never returning, but instead I thought NO, I am not going to let him/them destroy our identity/history and the next game 10 of us incl my oldest daughter and myself returned wearing BLUE in the Ninian Stand and we kept standing up singing "We are Cardiff City We Will Always Be Blue " We were looked at like we were aliens and away fans, as each game passed there eventually became about 100 of us,which grew to 400 odd. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird:


Sadly I know hundreds who never returned.

It's upto fans if they forget what's gone on in the past i understand people who cant forgive but then they are in the minority regarding tan, Personally wont clap wont boo him no reason to do either! All clubs go through bad owners at some point in their history with various ways they've run the club and are still doing so today! At least tan is making inroads into correcting financial mistakes made by him and if he's true to his word we will be financially solvent when or if he leaves what owner has done that for this club? :old:

That night against Brighton was the worst day ever following City. I wore a blue Cardiff scarf to the game and refused to take a red scarf. A steward told me if I was a fan I would take a scarf. It took all my will power not to retaliate. Luckily I was older and wiser when it happened

i think many on here are confusing a desperate push for promotion to "doing a good job" look the truth is, this is our last roll of the dice, if Warnock fails, and then leaves, tan wont put money into us, he will see that even with a good manager and players we failed. if lets say we finish mid table, and Warnock leaves, tan will then cut costs etc

i agree mate...10 of you rising to 400....there were others in different parts of the ground {a small minority it has to be said } who like myself always wore blue before,during and after the brighton game... but i will never hate Tan.
how on earth can you blame one man for you feeling alien in your home ground...when our fan base all to different degrees might have preffered Blue BUT accepted the Red with the investment.
i supose its easier to blame some Malaysian bloke than 20k faceless fans.

It was horrible. I'm not sure I'm over it yet though I respect Tan for giving us our colours back. I doubt I'll ever forgive him for the total disrespect he showed our club with the colour change. It was a horrible time for me personally and the first season (when we played in the premier league) that I never went to a single game even when living here on the other side of the world I'd come over for at least one game.

One of the saddest things was that more people who supported other clubs who I know were against the rebrand than those city fans I know. Out of those city fans I know who were anti red, most stopped going all together. That's Tans fault and, sadly, our fans fault for going along with it.

That night v Brighton, I walked out after 30 mins feeling sick , I even thought of never returning, but instead I thought NO, I am not going to let him/them destroy our identity/history and the next game 10 of us incl my oldest daughter and myself returned wearing BLUE in the Ninian Stand and we kept standing up singing "We are Cardiff City We Will Always Be Blue " We were looked at like we were aliens and away fans, as each game passed there eventually became about 100 of us,which grew to 400 odd. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird:


Sadly I know hundreds who never returned.


That night against Brighton was the worst day ever following City. I wore a blue Cardiff scarf to the game and refused to take a red scarf. A steward told me if I was a fan I would take a scarf. It took all my will power not to retaliate. Luckily I was older and wiser when it happened


Darren,
One of our worst days/ nights in the history of Cardiff City.

I really get the feeling that it's unusual how many are openly anti rebrand now. I'm not pointing fingers at people in this thread but I really feel it doesn't add up. Brighton home was 95% red scarves.

i agree mate...10 of you rising to 400....there were others in different parts of the ground {a small minority it has to be said } who like myself always wore blue before,during and after the brighton game... but i will never hate Tan.
how on earth can you blame one man for you feeling alien in your home ground...when our fan base all to different degrees might have preffered Blue BUT accepted the Red with the investment.
i supose its easier to blame some Malaysian bloke than 20k faceless fans.


Well said mate. Spot on.
