A less than generous person could be well cheesed off over who will be invited to Thursday's meeting at CCS. I'm sure such a person could rattle off a few, high profile, fan's leaders who could be there doing what they do best. Having had the misfotune to see some in action I would shudder to think what their involvement could possibly bring to a future meeting.
The central issue for Tan is this: is there really any need for a meeting at all? This is the third year of his ludicrous rebrand which has all but brought the Club to it's knees. Fan's were not consulted over the rebrand, whatever the revisionist Tan states. It was a take it or leave it deal despite the Club forlornly saying it was not, 'a red or dead,' deal. In fact it has turned into, 'a red and dead,' situation just three years on. The debt to equity carrot still has not taken place, the training complex has been ditched and we are a small matter of £170m+ in debt at a rate of 7% interest per year. To go away with City theses days is to view 99.9% wearing blue whilst perhaps 85% ish do so at home.
This less than charitable person would also say: Tan has raped the history and identity of the Club, ripped the heart out of it, turned fan against fan and the CCS is now like a morgue on match days.
Chaos, sadly, is not only confined to off field matters. The last two managerial appointments have resulted in a shambolic state of affairs. We have gone back years in months. Only a strong manager, who will stand up to Tan, who has managed in the top two divisions will do and bring order once more to the playing side.
Any fairminded and knowledgeable person will know the rebrand has been an unmitigated disaster and our traditional kit and crest must be restored. Will Tan do this? Sadly a fudged result will only plunge the Club into a chasm it probably will not recover from. Can Tan extricate himself and Club from the dire situation both find themselves in? We all have built up a picture of Tan's business methods since 2012 here at City. There seems to be very little glimmer of hope for the future if we base it on the past. As stated earlier any fairminded and knowledgeable person would know what to do without having to hold a meeting. Will Tan?
