Isn't Tan given us exactly what we've asked for?

Isn't this what we've been saying to Tan? Turn us back to blue, we don't care about your money or what league we play in.Well Tan in my opinion is doing exactly that. Massive wage cuts and a big cost cutting exercise and unfortunately this is what happens.

A lot of people said they would renew if we went back to blue regardless of the league we were in.

Now in my opinion Tan is doing this out of spite in a big "feck you" to us all. If Tan isn't doing this out of spite then we have piss poor luck in choosing managers. It's clear to all on the board at Cardiff that Slade isn't up to it so to keep him only confirms Tan's spite.

Here's a crazy theory for you: maybe those who are appointing the managers don't know what they're doing.

I concur with that theory. Glen Rodent surely has some knowledge of we have entrusted him??

I've been told by someone I trust that Roeder had nothing to do with Slade's appointment.

Not football men, they like their playing Championship Manager on Pc, heres a thought im going play Football manager 2015, buy all rejects Slade has and see how I do, cant do any worse !!

Well, it was always possible that the Tan era would end disastrously. If you recall, the first time he announced a return to blue (May 2010) he told everyone he would take his ball home as well. I think that may have offered us an inkling that Tan could do whatever he wanted.

I don't think he is doing this out of spite. I think he is doing it because he knows that the team has little or no chance of getting back to the £70m payouts for abject failure in the Sky Super Friday amd Monday league. I think he realises that spending has to be controlled, and that income has to be maximised (if not the PL millions, then he needs bums on seats - returning to blue makes economic sense in this scenario) if the club are to meet the FFP requirements.

The unfortunate thing is, there is zero football knowledge on board. This is highlighted in the appointment of a man that was about to get the sack at a League 1 club. In a bizarre case of negotiation, Cardiff ended up paying Orient compensation for a man they didn't want. It's decisions like that that will cost Cardiff - not cost cutting. If there was an element of shrewdness at the club, they could still be a force in the division without spending millions and millions on players. But, with the people at the club, this is not going to happen.

Agree. Tan doesn't care enough about us to do this out of spite. He's working out how to stop losing such a shit-load of money. Which is fair enough really.

Dalman himself, in his recent interview, stated that Roeder never had a role at the club.

Tan had his chance and he ****ed it up. I think he's starting to realise that it's not as easy or straightforward as he thought it was.

Anyway, he has spectacularly called our bluff, NQAT. To think that some (well, one) wanted the rebrand to be conditional on 20,000 ST sales too.... jesus wept. I'd be surprised if it was half that.

[The Lone Gunman]

If you recall, the first time he announced a return to blue (May 2010)

Eh?

He's talking about the Emperor's first re-brand u-turn - the one that had people writing letters begging Vinny to stay and Gwyn Davies declaring unconditional love for him.

Very few of us had heard of Slade. How would Tan have know about him? Another poor adviser I believe. Who was it this time?

Quite. Which is why I questioned the 2010 reference.

exactly, its easy to say " Oh Tan said Slade was his choice " hardly anyone on here knew who he was, so how did someone who knows fook all about football and lives the other side of the world know him

In fact, I can't imagine anyone who genuinely likes Tan.

Tan is still utterly clueless and ought get out of football and stick to things in which he has more experience, or easier for his lackeys to manage for him.

I'd be surprised if Tan even knew who Leyton Orient were or which division they were in.

When he goes, there will be a queue of potential coaches, no matter which league you're in.

Is that racist?

It was probably the "Orient" bit which appealed to him.

No, because it's probably true,they also have two, yes two, red dragons on their badge.
