There is a very interesting post/thread on ****/CCF from a Sarajevo fan. The main point is to ask for advice about contacting Tan to explain the concerns of many Sarajevo fans about how the club is being run, and 'broken promises' about investment. But as a thumbnail sketch on the state of one of Tan's other clubs it is well worth a read:

Hello everyone,
First I want to apologize because my english is not perfect but I believe you will understand me.
I've registered on this forum to hear you opinion about situation in my club because as you know Vincent Tan is owner of FK Sarajevo also same as of Cardiff City FC.
Vincent Tan bought most of our club because he can not be 100% owner based on rules of our country. After he came here, everything was perfect. We had debts of around 3 mil euros, and he payed them off. He invested money to build academy, and he said people from Cardiff City will be here to teach our kids, and later we could sell them to your club or send them on loan to his other clubs. That did not happen, but academy is there. Results of academy are 2 players in our first eleven and one of biggest talents in europe, Nedim Hadzic. As we heard he is going to be sold to Benfica.
He invested more money in our club and we were able to loan Matej Delac from Chelsea FC, Mate Jajalo from FC Koln. We signed Milan Stepanov, player who used to be central back of FC Porto for few years. We brought Ikande who was youngster of AC Milan.
We won one Cup and we became champions two years ago.
But we were surprised that Vincent Tan was in this city only two times. He sent some Malesian people here to keep control, but that did not happen. In fact, people from our country took control over club, finances and everything. They started to steal money and we had "war" with them. Two of most important persons in that time were Dino Selimovic and Abdulah Ibrakovic. They resigned from their positions under pressure of us (fans).
We tought things will be better, but than people from our board came and said WE DO NOT HAVE MONEY FOR SIGNINGS. That can not be truth, because as we know, we have deal with Vincent Tan that every year he is going to invest 4mil, and we sold 3 players in total of around 3mil euros.
Point of this what I am writing here is to see, is there any way that we (fans) can reach someone close to Vincent Tan or something like that, and present him how do WE feel, because we do not believe our board is sending him right reports.
Probably for you guys, these amounts are funny, because you sell and buy players for lot of more money, but salaries here for football players are around 2 or 3k euros.
By the way, as supporter of FK Sarajevo (our color is maroon and our arch rivals has blue colors), I support you and your demands of getting your color and club back to you,
Thank you for reading this and I hope you will give me some smart advices what we could do as supporters
Best regards
Ultrajvosa

He has better English than everyone else on that board.
I always find posts such as these hard to believe coming from that board, considering how much ***** hates Tan its preaching to the converted and just a little too convenient, especially as ***** has had a bit of an anti Tan rant over the last few days.
How come fans of his other clubs always seem to find and make posts on his board instead of this one, and as such I'll take anything written here with a pinch of salt.
You have to ask how old this note is...." I support you and your demands of getting your color and club back to you"
But how would a fan of Sarajevo necessarily know there was that much of a difference.
If they were just looking for a Cardiff City board to post on its always on there and it nearly always follows the general feel of *****.
Its not the first time a post which is vaguely anti Tan has appeared from the ether over there and it just leaves me feeling highly dubious of its origin.
A club in a lot of debt. He clears the debt.
They become champions.
They sell a few players for a pittance by european standards, and sustain themselves via free transfers. As seen here: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premi...saison_id/2016
And they are currently four points from top of their league group:

I smell porkies. Or if not, delusion. Not that I know that much.

I may be gullible but that post read as genuine to me. If it is made up there has been some homework done to come up with the details included. So if it is a hoax I'd give it a Sol Bamba-esque 8/10 for effort.
It also appears to me to be pro Tan, not anti.
I'm not surprised that someone from outside should land on **** rather than this board if wanting to talk to Cardiff fans. I think I'm right in saying that it comes up first on searches (either based on alphabetical order or hits) and as TOBW says, for all its many faults, it does still focus more than this board on Cardiff City and football in general.
That said this board scores highest on diversity of opinions and content, on humour, on informed and intelligent comment, on crediting sources and on charity work with the feeble minded of Leeds and Bristol.

Slightly different take on that guy leaving.
It may be 100% genuine, its just I have my doubts as I can see enough in there to be considered anti Tan and fitting into *****'s mind-set, which can be seen through his response and the mental twitter header he has attached too it.
FOOTBALL FANS NOT HAPPY WITH VINCENT TAN YET AGAIN
If its searched alphabetically then fair enough, but the majority of posts have such click baity headers as to not really know what they are about and the rest are about other teams away attendances. For someone whose first language isn't English the difference may not be as obvious.
Hazdic to benfica claim checks out.

Any chance we can hijack this deal?

Some decent finishes there but doesn't look overly blessed with pace and seems to out muscle other players- not sure he's got the build to do that too often in the championship.
Reminds me of a young Etien Velikonja.
I would like to thank Mr Tan for his continued support in times which ain't easy ,feel he has learned a lot and is trying,why do people look at that other board, is it voyeurism,infatuation,boredom,depression ?
