Time for protests to pick up in intensity.
When we haven’t got a home game for more than three months?Quote:

Pretty sure Everton did it over the summer months, and they didn't even get relegated.Quote:

You know we need a buyer for him to sell?Quote:

However I don't think there is any realistic interest in buying him out. I would love to be proved wrong.
thankyou to all the lads who keep the banter going and keep it interesting here, ill be honest as i said before, ive not watched a live game while the prick of a clown was in charge... i called for his head long long ago
long time bluebirds can remember even worse times than this, we been there there and done it
looking forward to winning ways and cheering again, it gives everyone a lift, its been so drab and negative for far too long
going to be a topsy turvy summer id have thought, players who think they are better than L1 will no doubt look to leave as cuts in outgoings will be drastic... my advise for those, thanks for nothing and piss off, there are plenty of young talent in lower teams who are just coming through and looking to progress way beyond us, lets hope we get a 15-20 goal a season little gem who can become a hero
as for the club **** you, it makes the prem league years seem like nothing now, id sooner be back in ninian cheering eddie may and the lads on
Yes, I do think it will be extremely easy to find a buyer interested, but the issue is Tan will price them out of it. Which is why we've got to be as openly hostile to him as possible now.Quote:

Other entertainers frequently include Cardiff as a part of their schedule when doing touring dates. There is massive upside to investing in Cardiff if done correctly and intelligently, we had a Champions League final held here after all.
We are on par with a team like Bolton as it currently stands. For a capital city, it's pathetic and given where the city is otherwise, we are under-performing on a monumental level. The pressure must be unloaded full-bore once the Sala trial is over, because he is (and I do not say this lightly) a cancer on this club.
It's how Cardiff city fans rollQuote:

Can't disagree with that ; the only problem is I reckon Tan takes very little interest in his football club nowadays and is more concerned with seeing the Sala case to it's conclusion.Quote:

If there was why haven't they made themselves known? It would certainly help.

Agree. The capital city stuff is complete bollox.Quote:

I don't know the exact details because everyone involved has been hush-hush. It's not the kind of thing that companies would openly talk about unless in advanced talks, but allegedly, there were about 2-3 consortiums interested, including one American one last summer that Tan priced out.Quote:

There are no excuses. The reason we've lost so much support and so many in the city would rather support big 6 clubs is because of the relationship between the ownership and the fans. Should that improve, the fan support would improve.
Could switch from protests outside the ground to a season ticket boycott.Quote:
