Bad feeling among fans. I think Cardiff fans would have been mature enough to accept relegation from the top flight. There were protests before the game against Man City, the first home game of the season. Who should be to blame for that?

Tan toppled the first domino and is responsible for the state of the club now.
So, you blame Tan alone for, say, the Cornelius signing, the appointment of Ole, the boring style of play adopted by one of our recent managers and the complete absence of players from our Academy making first team debuts since Declan John nearly three and a half years ago?

I agree Tan is to blame for an awful lot of what went wrong after summer 2012, but I don't see how a case can be made against him for the last two criteria I mention in particular. I would say it would be "bizarre" to claim that he was to blame for Slade's boring football and the lack of young, home grown talent coming into the first team - using your logic, Tan will be entirely responsible if the improvement seen in the first team since Warnock arrived is maintained and if we suddenly start bringing in youngsters who prosper in the first team.
