As no-one seems to know Tan's motive for payrolling, and at great expense, a Championship club that has been nowhere near the Premier League for several seasons, it's impossible to know if he has any motive for continuing, especially as he isn't really a football fan.
He wants to recoup his money doesn't he, no chance unless he gets the right people at the top that understand football.Quote:

Whichever way it plays out I cannot see Sam who loves the club Hammam giving up his kebab stall in downtown Beirut to raise the £200 million Tan wants.
Incidentally where does this nonsense, mainly on the other board, about Sam being a football man come from?. I remember the night at Cwmaman Institute when Sam introduced his “ own special signing “ none other than Leon Jeanne and we know where he ended up!!
Didn't wba go for 40 million - so less than that for us??Quote:

I recall a long time ago when he first took over he was asked if he might sell and he said it wouldn't happen because his daughters had told him if he did they'd never speak to him again.Quote:

I would love to know how many posters have been banned from there. I was a poster for 10 years and ***** banned me because he claimed I had posted an offensive post towards him. The damming line used was "put your big boy pants on."Quote:

I read a book by Kiaran McGuire the football finace expert. There was a chapter valuing football clubs. Admittedly there are several ways to value a football club but the most basic is turnover x 1.5. Our turnover in the last accounts was £24m therefore 24 x 1.5 = £36mQuote:

I don't post a lot on this board either - tends to be in spurts and take regular breaks when I can for my own sanity 😂👍
Sam is a football man.Quote:

Sam can be critcised for many things but giving leon a chance isnt one of them.
Hammam might like football, so do I , and millions of others but he is a shyster and crook who although he “ loves the club “ couldn’t wait to sue the club and left it minutes before going into administration to sign off his turgid interest in the club. His denial of not being anything to do with Langston and only revealed in court was comical but could have had serious consequences for the City. Thanks to Russell Goodway and Cardiff Council for being aware of his nefarious designs and denying him his demands upon them . Something that Wimbledon wasn’t alive to.Quote:

This so called football man saw Cardiff City purely as a way to him making money and nothing else!!
I found that example weird as well, remember as a kid reading about the ability Jean had.Quote:

I don't know if that is true but the place is the defintion of an echo chamber. :thumbup:Quote:
