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 ?

No. I would have prefered Tan to act with some respect and dignity. Instead of like a spoilt child.

Remember all those 'city fans directors' who were owed millions by the club!! These were the same people who said yes to the rebrand then got all their money back and left Tan as the escape goat then disappeared back into the shadows.

Like other posters have said, he made mistakes and will probably make more. If it was not for the rebrand he would be possibly hailed as one of the greatest owners we have ever had (remember Clemo, Kumars, the riddler and Scam hammam).

I detested the red and still don't like the squiggly thing on the badge!!!

Some people need to move on, or go to that other board and ply their toxic antiquated views.

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

He's doing nothing. And it seems to be working. As to whether he's learned anything, you'd have to ask him that. But I suspect he'd be loathe to admit that he did anything wrong in the first place.

He changed us back to blue because he was practically forced into it. And then came up with a ridiculous excuse in an attempt to save face. He's been running the club on the cheap and in absentia ever since.

He's never apologized. He barely even acknowledges the fans. And we still play with a Chinese ****ing dragon on our club crest and tacky "Visit Malaysia" signs all around the stadium and on the club jerseys. Oh, and the club still owes him a ****ing fortune.

Tacky 'Visit Malaysia?' Isn't all advertising tacky?

He's never apologised and barely recognises the fans? Man up ffs.

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?
