I am struggling more than ever with my tolerance of Tan, and I hate it. Some are saying in the last 24 hours they are done. He almost lost me with the rebrand, I have wanted him out of our club from that day on, he aint losing me now but man......

No man is bigger or better than our club, we have had darker days, but his effect on our club in terms of fun, identity, enjoyment, entertainment, appreciation, ambition, consistency, oneness and match day experience ( in what is becoming an ever increasing soulless stadium for away teams and fans to rub their hands together), is MASSIVE. IN OUR ANNIVERSARY YEAR

If I can stay loyal through a vile rebrand, the revolving door of Tans poor managerial choices and poor style of football and losing my match day buddies, then I can stay loyal through this. But I am really struggling, my young son motivates me to go more than what's on show on and off the pitch. Hès a 15-year-old with the City bug big time just like me. If I didn't have him, yesterday's news might have tipped me over the edge.

Its just not enjoyable, in many other ways other than the football. The draconian stewarding, Wayne Nash behind this and the refusal to swap the family and canton stands, (a success at Stokes ground recently) being out sung by a few hundred away fans, seeing the red seats and the wiggly worm, even seeing Malaysia on our shirt for the last 12 seasons, even some of my favourite boozers long gone in Grangetown and Canton . These things have become bigger than they need to be because of the repetitive cycle of poor brand of football, no ambition, poor recruitment of managers and players, no plan, no dialogue being treated as customers but with no customer service, interfered with historic tradition, imposing his culture and beliefs in narcissistic fashion, broken promises, zero communication or cooperation, horrendous decision making, and the one time he allowed himself to be influenced we get Dalmans mate who turned out to be one of the worst managers I have seen us have, rumours of interference in the dressing room the list is absolutely endless.

Yesterday's appointment is really testing me, Riza has my support for now, the players like him and will take him over the dreadful Bulut any day, but is totally the wrong choice and yet again reeks of no ambition given the available candidates without a club, he has already been caught out with tactical naivety, and inexperience, we are in a relegation battle and we turn to a man whose only previous is with seven games at Orient with one win, as the man to dig us out of the trenches, but none of this is on him, all his Christmases have come at once and will be more than happy to be a yes man, he has found himself in charge of capital city football club not long out of the EPL when two years ago he was playing for Hertford Town in the Southern Football League!

A lot of this is also on Bulut, his players who he coached the shit out of, it will take a top experienced manager to turn his damage around, I hope Riza proves me wrong I really do, but I now really fear relegation big time.

Plus I have lost friends in double figures who were part of my match day experience before Tan took over. Dwindled away during his dictatorship. Amazing times, much debauchery and fun, it's all gone. I am the only one left of that group who still goes (2 sadly passed away). Tans effect is the sole reason for them.

Ill be there, but man I am finding it hard. And It's all one man, his dreadful running of our beloved club that means so much to us, and he doesn't give a flying f**k, he is deaf to our voices. It is VINCENT TAN FC, his country emblazened on our shirt, his dragon on our badge, his advertising all over the stadium, his way or the highway, no consultation, consideration or cooperation. Other clubs have bad owners, Ill take the Pepsi challenge with them with this dictator any day.

Sorry that was so long. It means so much, CCFC means so much, I'll be there :ayatollah: JUST!
TAN OUT!

A lot feel the same sadly but we have an opportunity to protest regardless of whether we pick up and win all our games till the swansea game,
and its the owner and board we are aiming at and even the players would know that.
