Mr Tan, you are a businessman first and foremost....

You must see what is happening to your investment (my club) even though you view it from afar.
It is completely 'rudderless' and has had no real guidance for many years. The people who you have put in charge have done very little (if anything) other than alienate the fans of this great, capital city club.
Yes, we,ve had some good times but unfortunately we have not taken stock or reinvested when needed.
Your investment is tired and is about to collapse in on itself if not over the next few weeks, it will continue to do so throughout next season, wherever we are.
The club will continue to haemorrage money and more so as we are certain to drop through the divisions. It needs proper investment, prefferably with a leader at the helm (chairman and DoF)who will be seen at the stadium on a regular basis; someone who shows care for the club and its fans. Do the right thing for yourself and the thousands of followers of the club and put the club up for sale at a reasonable price. The millions that you will lose out on by dropping your asking price, will be gradually clawwed back by the money that you will be saving on a monthly basis.
I'm not one of the most vocal fans on this forum and at 62 I've seen plenty of dross in my time supporting this club since 1976, but I care so much about the club that I and my dad before me, love(d).
Don't let it die Mr Tan, 'do the right thing'. :bluebird:

This kind of post gets rewritten every few months. All very true but TAN DOESN’T CARE! As a fanbase we are wasting our breath trying to talk sense to this man when it comes to Cardiff City.

The only way we move forward is for Tan to sell but we need him to be willing to do that and to have a buyer. Until then we are powerless.

When people on this blog talk about Tan, they really miss the point. In Malaysian culture he is considered untouchable. His workers bow down to him. This does not transfer to Wales where is considered a clown because of his apparent mis-management. What we all fail to grasp is that WE offended him and his honor by not embracing the red jersey that he wanted. He really doesn't care about the money. He needs us to grovel and scrape, apologize profusely to him, his family, his ancestors, his pets, his servants and all of the many workers in his organization. Then, and only then, MIGHT he decide to sell his ownership in the club.

His ego vanity or pride is not worth losing £200m for no matter your culture? Relegation and its a lot worse he can basically right the money off! Shiek Muhammad maybe he can lose £200m without flinching not sure that's case with tan.
