ToBW

[Kris]

Reminds me of the character in Dream Academys Life in a Northern Town.
"He sat on the stoney ground, and he took a cigarette out, and everyone else, came round, to listen".
Whilst I enjoy most of his blogs, the majority of responses from fellow posters, seem almost "desciple' like.
The latest one didn't strike any chords with me.
A fighting performance against a piss poor Villa side, is not gonna get my juices flowing.
His references about Malky, and the so called gory days, with just a fleeting reference of the dates, and no mention of Jones seems typical.
We played some of the best football ever seen from a City team under DJ, and were a whisker away from winning the FA cup, and promotion to the premier league, with a lesser budget, and IN BLUE.
I do like most of Bobs Write ups and blogs, but this one seems as premature as a schoolboy looking through the window of a strip club.

I found his latest blog bizarre regarding comments made about Tan.

Sorry, but you're going to have to help me here, was what I said about Tan "bizarre" because I said he wasn't to blame for all that has gone wrong at the club since May 2012 or because I thought he was to blame for any of it?

Yes.

He is the one at the top. His decisions permeate down. Mackay overspent? Tan should have controlled that.

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.
