    We could do a lot worse than Tan and if he did sell we could be wishing he hadn't

    From Wales online

    WalesOnline has now seen the document referred to in the reports in the Daily Star. We can reveal:
    The 32-page brochure is titled 'Project Dragon' and is dated June 2017;
    Its opening lines of introduction state the “opportunity exists to invest in English football market through acquisition of Cardiff City Football Club, a professional football team playing in the EFL Championship”;
    It goes on to detail the steady rise of revenues at the top of the game in England, before outlining the “strong support of its major shareholder” and readiness of the club “to return to the top level of competition”;
    The document details the growth in Premier League revenues and states Championship clubs “offer a strategic route to invest in English football”;
    Under a heading of 'Investment Opportunity', it reiterates in its first bullet point that “opportunity exists to acquire Cardiff City Football Club”;
    It goes on to stress its in-place infrastructure, loyal fan base and how investment would enable the team to continue its development;
    The structure of the English football market is then detailed, before a focus on the club's organisation, its facilities, academy set-up and its historic achievements;
    It also provides an outline of the current state of the side, saying that Tan was behind efforts to return to the Premier League and the fresh impetus provided by manager Neil Warnock, as well as outlining recent signings – including last week's addition of Lee Tomlin from Bristol City;
    A financial outline of the club is given before an introduction to the city of Cardiff; and
    The document closes with an invitation on any enquiries to contact named WMG staff.

    That doesn't seem to fit particularly well with Mehmet D's 'strong refute' and 'it must be the "silly season" ' comments apparently from this morning.

    If the club want to sell, i can see how it would also want (need) to be guarded and cautious but still somehow put the club in the shop window.
    All without upsetting the apple-cart.

    Not easy TBF.

    But I hope, after all the recent healing that we don't go back to the club issuing plainly ridiculous statements and expecting fans to swallow it.
    There was too much of that in very dark days, and those times are surely gone.
