I think it would take a more hands type of person or group to achieve long-term results. Tan may have fancied another go, but his business empire in Malaysia has taken a hit, so it makes sense for him to seek an exit. There are a few other things, but I can't mention them on here.

No genuine offers would be my guess.

Re: Takeover soon?

Hopefully. Mentioned in the other thread but Tan has left the club to rot in recent seasons and if we can move on as soon as possible then that would be ideal.

Who do you think is paying the wages and other bills? Genuine question

The club, who are consistently operating at a loss, so he then covers them losses. Who do you blame for all the money wasted in recent years? Genuine question.

In the most recent years - Tan, Dalman, Choo, Warnock, Harris, McCarthy. But to say that the man who's putting in millions a year has "left the club to rot" is patently ridiculous

Well quite. I remember the pre Tan days when Cardiff City lurched from one financial crisis to another. Tan got it badly wrong over the change to red strips but otherwise he has imo been a very good owner. Be careful what you wish for.

Which all falls on Tan and his lack of getting proper football people on board and not a couple of chancers that to the best of my knowledge have next to no football experience and several other interests to be seeing too as well as Cardiff City.

It is within his interests to cover the losses if he ever wants to recoup anything, but the club has been a shambles off the pitch and an absolute amatuer organisation under his watch for many years so call it what you like but it has clearly not been a priority for him for a long time, can phrase that how you like but the point remains.

Re: Takeover soon?

We're ready for a change IMO and if it happens I'm ready to look upon it optimistically. There's no reason to believe the new owners won't be far better than the current one. Let's embrace change positively.

No, now you're conflating a couple of different points. I'm not saying the club's been run well, which of course is ultimately his responsibility, but this dramatic "he's left it to rot" attitude (and you're not the only one with it) is complete nonsense.

Although if he'd have left the club to rot we wouldn't have lost 4-0 to Swansea because there wouldn't have been a club to play them so maybe he really is the bad guy

Re: Takeover soon?

As lovely as it would be to have someone come in and splash the cash I look at so many other championship clubs who have done it and struggle after only for the owners to lose interest.

I’ve got no issue with Tan, a lot worse owners about.

I can't read the article

Hoping that any buyer or invester isn't Sam Hammam or anyone linked to that boil on the clubs arse..
I still have a feeling it will be an asian based buyer or consortium.

Each to their own but if you don’t think leaving a couple of chancers in charge for the past 5 years is on him and doing absolutely nothing to change it isn’t “leaving the club to rot” and want to describe it differently then that’s fair enough.

I don’t have much interest in going back and forth all evening but I just wish fans didn’t have such an inferiority complex about the club and what it could be if it was ran properly and had a proper set up.

Catchment area and stadium is there, we just need a bit of belief and a proper modern football structure in place, but at the moments we are way behind.

Re: Takeover soon?

Agreed but not to the extent that we have,

Do you know that for a fact we lose more than all the other clubs? 2 clubs this season have fallen foul of FFP, if rumours are to be believed another 4 or 5 will next season too. Considering FFP is based on losses over time I struggle to believe we’re the worst in the league.
