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.
£30m sounds like a bprelative bargain, what's the catch?
I'd give £30 to buy the club....
Diabolical 'Every club, everywhere is up for sale' shocker
Before that, I'd never clicked on a link to that foul rag (didn't even know it was still available), so thanks for that!
" I do not fall in love with my businesses.”
Even moreso when he has lost tens of millions and has had very little kudos as a reward along the way.
It's surprising he lasted this long.
I don't believe it even if they claim to have seen a brochure. I have no doubt that Tan would sell for the right amount of money as he sees it but I just can't see him peddling us right now having backed Warnock this summer. That being said you could also surmise that giving Warnock funds to buy intelligently could be seen by Tan as almost certainly protecting the club from being relegated this season keeping the potential sale value up.
At least a 5 pager on **** by this time tomorrow.
Bit of a weird exclusive for the Star of all papers to get, find it hard to believe for all the same reasons as Gabb above.
