I'm just responding to someone else's thread. I don't really think the timing is at all relevant. Nor do I think there's any bitter or twisted about what I wrote. It's just a few facts. As for having time on my hands because I'm not going to the the game on Sunday, I don't think that will come in to play until Sunday. And as I am going out to watch the game, I probably won't have that much more time than you. Maybe a bit less even. I don't know far from the ground you live. It's going to take me about an hour to get there. But as it's a 7:30am kick off here, I'll probably spend some time thinking about it on Saturday. I'll definitely have time to spare after the game. I'll basically have the whole day in front of me.
If you have evidence that Tan has learned from his mistakes, I'd love to hear about it. Maybe you don't think he made any mistakes.
Regardless, the whole affair pretty much summed up Tan's running of the club at the time which thankfully is in the past now. He's reined himself in and allowed others more knowledgeable about the game to take the limelight and the results speak for themselves. So credit wheres its due.
There are many challenges still in front of us but hopefully by Sunday evening we will be in a much stronger position to deal with them in the coming years. I still dont know what the end game is with Tan, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
But Cardiff City is Tan, he owns 90%+ of the shares in the club so he owes himself millions. As the debt is on the books we should be paying him interest on it but so far as I recall I've never seen any information or any informed source say he has ever taken the interest out.
Seems odd for someone only in it for the money doesn't it? But then of course with the interest he'd end up owing himslf even more money!
I hope Tan stays at the club for a very long time.
The days of being run by gangsters, and fraudsters who had us in and out of the courts fighting off the taxman, and employing casuals as bodyguards are over for now. Long may it continue.
As much as the colour change pissed a few off, it was readily embraced by the majority. Each individual who parts with hard earned cash to go down the City, is entitled to their opinion.
I kept going and supporting the team, but never bought or wore anything to do with the red. With in no time, we were back in blue and it looks like we’ll go back up in blue. Happy days. If some fans feel they still can’t forgive and forget, then they are only biting off their noses to spite their face.
Much worse things happen in life, than your team changing their colours.
Was there much of an uproar when we changed from our original colours to blue ?
For goodness sake wake up to the fact that to VT it's just a business. He's said so himself and promotion will help him get a return on his investment. Of course he'll join in celebrations etc but he has no long term interest in our club no more than others have had in the past.
Well done to him if his management gets us to the prem, but like all businesses he is in it to make a profit
What the **** has "manning up" got to do with anything? I don't care for Tan, I don't think this season is "down to him" and I have no desire to show my appreciation for the ****ing owner of the club. The same way I have no desire to celebrate a royal wedding.
This is a ****ing football messageboard, someone else brought up Tan and I responded. You think I waste any of my time in the real world thinking about whether or not Vincent ****ing Tan deserves to be appreciated.
Tan is in this for himself not for you. Why the **** would you want to thank him?
