I disagree, I reckon it’s all but done and they’ve stuck this out now so they have the bonus of being great communicatorsQuote:

Agreed, City fans that I know who are fairly relaxed about the goings on behind the scenes, have really started to lose patience with Tan and CoQuote:

It seems as if they view this appointment as some sort of re-birth or turning point in the club's future, when all we needed is an experienced manager to get the club into the play offs [at minimum] next season, and to help put the squad together. It's indicative from fans' comments such as 'he'll be OK but I would happier with x', that supporters know that any one of several could do the job with the right players. Not Cardiff City though, they have to over-analyse, over-think everything - much in the same way they say they're now going about player recruitment. When this Svengali arrives and City struggle mid table I wonder if he'll be sent on his way - then again someone this good and crucial to the club's success is not going to have a 12 month contract. Clowns, utter clowns..
Yeah. The Trust and all fan groups should just declare total non confidence in the idiots stop meeting them and start organised protests whatever they are until they start running the club probably.
(And when I say protests I don't necessarily mean yelling Tan Out - with no idea who would come in - outside the ground when hes miles away. Boycotts , ST refunds alongside visible protests)

I read it more as though he was going to hire a hitmanQuote:

William it's not even pre season. No city football interest or transfer rumours.
The club have no manager and haven't for what feels like most of the last year.
What do you want people to be discussing on a Cardiff city forum?
The last six months have been a fracking disaster. They stuck with Riza and missed out on fifteen or more decent Managers, got relegated, and waited another seven weeks to appoint an inexperienced academy coach. It's ridiculous, fingers crossed we get lucky and he is one of the 10% of gambles that come good.Quote:

You can have an opinion on anything you like. Opinions are like arseholes. Everybody has one.Quote:

Like totally boycott games by going to the CCS every home game, but not going into the ground itself and protesting outside peacefully for the duration of the game that we want Tan and the board out. That would soon gather a momentum of coverage everywhere.. personally I would be up for that kind of protest.
But my guess is, the majority of the supporters that go can’t be arsed to do something like that, and just like the majority on this board will just carry on moaning and groaning about it.
If the new manager gets off to a good start and we have a successful season, all the moaning and groaning about Tan and the board will disappear till the next bad period. That’s the fickleness of football supporters world wide.
Ps, my credentials in boxing and my amateur experience would probably mean that at the age of 61, I’d still be able to hit you so hard, it would disturb a couple of your ancestors 😂
I'm not paid 500k a year though, like some of our Directors are. I'd also do a better job, as like Bob says, I'd get people who know what they were doing to run the club.Quote:
