Is social media the best way to protest?

Sat May 11, 2024 9:55 am

I'm not good on social media and don't go on there much, but I do know that it's a very good way to communicate with the world.

So could social media be the best way to get Tan to sell up? He hates bad press as we eventually saw with the rebrand, so how do we get it trending on social media that we want him to sell?

Is anyone on here able to start this off?

I was thinking bigger. I know there's already plenty on social media but we need to think bigger to get the TV media noticing what's trending.

Instagram and Twatter might be the best platforms for a viral Tan Out message.

I think you need a lot of people to get behind it. Unfortunately we don’t command those number I would imagine.

That's great. If someone who knows how, can get it going then we can post it on this and other forums, Annis can put it on his Tan Out Facebook page and others who have similar pages can do the same. Everyone who has a social media account on any platform can post it.

Ideally it needs everyone to do it within a few days so it gets noticed.

Yes it certainly needs numbers and a lot of organising but not impossible for someone who has the knowledge and platforms at their disposal.

So the protest is about the owner of a mid-second tier club finishing the season mid-table in the second tier?

We could start #Entitled

I get Tan is in a conundrum.
The only time I thought he panicked was when the thought of relegation to L1 was a serious proposition. He got a serious manager in and decent loans.

He must have gamed this out and he needs to find the silver bullet which is promotion, without having to do what Hull did and still fail. This is why Bulut made sense, doing something different as we couldn't win the arms race because he doesn't want to play that game anymore.

Bulut has demonstrated effectiveness. We all would have taken 12th, but that isn't good enough for next season it has to be 4th ~ 8th and Tan needs to see how Bulut is going to achieve that without getting into the arms race of major signings.

I doubt any at the club have the stomach for another manager hunt, so i reckon Erol is playing a bit of hardball with a bloke who has to win.
So i don't see why a lot of fans are getting their knickers in a twist.

No the protest is not about finishing 12th in the championship. It's about an owner who disrespected our historic blue, rebranded our beloved club, made empty promises about being debt free, borrowed money from others at an extortionate interest rate, employed 2 part timers on stupid wages to run the club from London, employed a painter and decorator as our CEO, employed cheap manager after cheap manager, made promises he never intended or didn't know how to keep, put the club through court case after court case and still is, won't sell the club to someone because his pride won't let him and wants £200 million to sell a club which is probably valued less than half of that.

That's who the protest is about, just in case you've been living on the moon for the last 12 years.

And the years preceding that 12 years were amazing were they?
No loans then?
No court cases?
No broken promises?
And don’t forget we invited him in, bit like lost boys when they invited the head vampire into their house which made them powerless.

Absolutely not but those owners are history and many were protested against.

This is about where we are as a club under the current owner.

Don’t get me wrong I want him gone as well. I belive there’s very few people like you that are will to do anything.

Have you tried to set a meeting up somewhere get an action group together, judge what people want don’t want. Then make a plan. Because I don’t know of any groups taking organised and planned action with a clear end goal.

I think the club will soon see how the fans are feeling with the season ticket sales.11 of us go to all the home games and all had season tickets but only 3 of us have renewed for next season! Everyone i speak to say's they've had enough of the club.

And that’s the problem, people give up. You should never give up on your club.

Sorry for the delay, I am painting a bedroom and between coats, I have practiced watching paint dry this season, so it got me in the mood ;) :lol:

I pay £380 a year, I pay double that to Sky and i don't care how they run their business behind the scenes either.

Tan is losing tens of millions one way or another, I moan at the tenner for not having a digital card which barely works for me this season. I don't moan at the food or beer as i don't buy it.

Tan loses tens of millions if we were relegated but makes multiples more if promoted. I think he is trying to do a Luton, Ipswich or even Cardiff (warnock). I don't think he is bleeding us dry, he just needs to sort out the local administration as they are shocking, but thats not a protest that the fans group or whatever they are called

We could start #Entitled

I get Tan is in a conundrum.
The only time I thought he panicked was when the thought of relegation to L1 was a serious proposition. He got a serious manager in and decent loans.

He must have gamed this out and he needs to find the silver bullet which is promotion, without having to do what Hull did and still fail. This is why Bulut made sense, doing something different as we couldn't win the arms race because he doesn't want to play that game anymore.

Bulut has demonstrated effectiveness. We all would have taken 12th, but that isn't good enough for next season it has to be 4th ~ 8th and Tan needs to see how Bulut is going to achieve that without getting into the arms race of major signings.

I doubt any at the club have the stomach for another manager hunt, so i reckon Erol is playing a bit of hardball with a bloke who has to win.
So i don't see why a lot of fans are getting their knickers in a twist.

No the protest is not about finishing 12th in the championship. It's about an owner who disrespected our historic blue, rebranded our beloved club, made empty promises about being debt free, borrowed money from others at an extortionate interest rate, employed 2 part timers on stupid wages to run the club from London, employed a painter and decorator as our CEO, employed cheap manager after cheap manager, made promises he never intended or didn't know how to keep, put the club through court case after court case and still is, won't sell the club to someone because his pride won't let him and wants £200 million to sell a club which is probably valued less than half of that.

That's who the protest is about, just in case you've been living on the moon for the last 12 years.


And the years preceding that 12 years were amazing were they?
No loans then?
No court cases?
No broken promises?
And don’t forget we invited him in, bit like lost boys when they invited the head vampire into their house which made them powerless.


Sorry for the delay, I am painting a bedroom and between coats, I have practiced watching paint dry this season, so it got me in the mood ;) :lol:

I pay £380 a year, I pay double that to Sky and i don't care how they run their business behind the scenes either.

Tan is losing tens of millions one way or another, I moan at the tenner for not having a digital card which barely works for me this season. I don't moan at the food or beer as i don't buy it.

Tan loses tens of millions if we were relegated but makes multiples more if promoted. I think he is trying to do a Luton, Ipswich or even Cardiff (warnock). I don't think he is bleeding us dry, he just needs to sort out the local administration as they are shocking, but thats not a protest that the fans group or whatever they are called

Are you comparing supporting Cardiff your sky subscription?

I subscribe to sky and also don't give a sh1t how they run the company unless it effects me financially. But I do care how my beloved Cardiff is being run, it seems you don't!


Get something going then Mike.
Instead of expecting someone else to, you come up with some good ideas but you don’t seem to want to follow through.

I put on my OP that I didn't know how to set things up on social media and asked if anyone could help.......


This reminds of dragons den, when the company owners want to give 1% of the company for the dragons to do all the work and make it successful while they put minimum effort in.

I accept you asked for help, but help with what you got plan, you haven’t even done any research with a poll, or a questionnaire on here to judge the lay of the land. It’s seems you want tan gone (agreed) but you want one of us to do it. You have to make a start yourself. It’s like me saying let’s get rid of Costa coffe as it’s ruining local my independent coffee shop, but you lot will have to do it I’ve just come up with the idea.

I don’t disagree with on your aim. But you need to kick things off if you really believe in them.

I think there's enough to get it started and a summer to organise something. Many fans are sheep (me included!) and if they think Tan OUT will improve our clu they'll follow.

f**k me , Tans got us all bickering and infighting not for the first or last time. add that to the list of reasons why we want the hapless dictator gone,

Re: Is social media the best way to protest?

Sun May 12, 2024 10:57 am

You got to think about how a social media campaign to force Tan out would affect prospective bidders. Chances are they'll be some sort of hedge fund, investment company seems to be the way must clubs are going. Not a local businessmen/ fan there doesn't seem to be many billionaires investing as a bit of fun anymore. These companies could be put of by the threat of negative publicity if things don't go our way.
