Would an informal statement from tan be enough?

[Guest]

Actions speak louder than words as they say and it’s obvious that in recent years we haven’t seen Tan at the ground whilst perhaps other things have become higher on the list of priorities.

Tan is obviously still keeping the club afloat despite our recent downward spiral.

Some people have stated that they want tan gone and others are happy with what he has done for the club.

Would regularly communication from Tan help the relationship between the fans and the owner? I mean I’m not saying he posts something on here but say once a month there’s a word from the owner about his intentions and to give reassurance that he is still interested in Cardiff City fc.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say you are a WUM account.

Prove me wrong and Mike can permanently ban my account. I am that convinced.

I am not a wind up merchant I promise! I mean it - we never hear anything from Tan at all apart from the other day regarding him paying for supporters travel back to Rotherham.

What I am trying to say is perhaps more communication to the average fan on a regular basis would be a good things - but it has to be clear and transparent.
And no I am not a Wum and I’m not Tan either!

What’s a WUM account?

Personally I just think some will never like Tan if he speaks or not, even if he’s making perfect sense (which is rare) they will twist things around to have a dig. Actions speak louder than words, I couldn’t care less if he comes to games or not really.

Tan's unpopularity probably rises every time he speaks out because he says some idiotic thingsand knows nothing about football or how a club should be run. He's better off staying silent.

I personally don't care what he says as long as he acknowledges mistakes and learns from them, improving as he goes.

I felt we needed a football man on the board almost from the outset and feel that one is needed now as much as it has ever been.

We can throw out the old 'foreign owner, different culture, they do things differently etc' about all we like but compare how he has done things with the Wrexham lot. It is worlds apart. One lot realise that they know nothing about football and have employed people accordingly. The other know nothing about football but they sure as hell aren't going to admit that any time soon.

WUM wind up merchant.
I can see what you’re saying - it’s a no win whatever he does really. I wonder though if this would be a slow burner and not something that we could expect people to warm to immediately but if over time = what he says = what is happening = trust built up etc.

I do think much more communication is required. This guy is extremely wealthy and if our club had someone taking care of the football side of things in the background we could be up there with other teams like Bournemouth, wolves etc etc.

I do agree we need someone behind the scene who runs the football side of things other than a manager. But the thing is why can’t this be communicated as to why it hasn’t happened? Perhaps there’s a reason but with no communication we don’t know what is going on. I know there have been fan consultations previously but as far as I am aware they haven’t all gone smoothly.

To be honest I'm not sure what they can really say to reassure fans at the moment.

They made a mistake in appointing Morison, oversaw a squad rebuild with him that has been sub par for the Championship, compounded that with another cheap and inexperienced option. They then bring in Lamouchi which looks a much better appointment on paper but with another mistake, paying the first Sala installment late, have seen Lamouchi tasked with rescuing us with one hand tied behind his back. Even if we stay up they've got us tied down by this embargo. Not sure Tan could paint a rosey picture with that to be honest.

Only time they come out and say anything it is always along the lines of 'be grateful and be careful what you wish for'. The lack of self awareness as to how badly they are running the club is laughable.

I think Tan wants the final say and also doesn't trust many people in football.

The flip side of that is if you've had the wool pulled over your eyes more than a jumper enthusiast then can you afford not to get experienced people in?
I think the proof is in the pudding. Too many people on our board simply don't know how to do the footballing side of the business at a level required by a Championship club.

I honestly think we will continue to make glaring mistakes in League 1 too. Nothing suggests to me that relegation will be a fresh start and a base to build from. Not with the same people playing at running a football club on a tighter budget.

Re: Would an informal statement from tan be enough?

Tan has to be the issue.


If he didn't trust Malky, that's his fault.

If he let Warnock school him, it's his fault.

He's the one overseeing everything, so by a simple process of elimination he is the obvious problem isn't he!

I'm not really in the Tan out brigade, I'm not really for him either, I was just happy the club didn't go bust.

But slowly, he is acting more and more ridiculous and a lot of the issues he is facing are of his own doing.

Perhaps it's time he did a bit of self reflection, looked deep inside his soul and did the right thing and passed us on to someone who gives a ****.

Tan is like the controlling husband who won't give his wife a divorce.
