Isn't Tan given us exactly what we've asked for?
Isn't this what we've been saying to Tan? Turn us back to blue, we don't care about your money or what league we play in.Well Tan in my opinion is doing exactly that. Massive wage cuts and a big cost cutting exercise and unfortunately this is what happens.
A lot of people said they would renew if we went back to blue regardless of the league we were in.
Now in my opinion Tan is doing this out of spite in a big "feck you" to us all. If Tan isn't doing this out of spite then we have piss poor luck in choosing managers. It's clear to all on the board at Cardiff that Slade isn't up to it so to keep him only confirms Tan's spite.

Here's a crazy theory for you: maybe those who are appointing the managers don't know what they're doing.

I concur with that theory. Glen Rodent surely has some knowledge of we have entrusted him??

I've been told by someone I trust that Roeder had nothing to do with Slade's appointment.

Re: Isn't Tan given us exactly what we've asked for?
Well, it was always possible that the Tan era would end disastrously. If you recall, the first time he announced a return to blue (May 2010) he told everyone he would take his ball home as well. I think that may have offered us an inkling that Tan could do whatever he wanted.
I don't think he is doing this out of spite. I think he is doing it because he knows that the team has little or no chance of getting back to the £70m payouts for abject failure in the Sky Super Friday amd Monday league. I think he realises that spending has to be controlled, and that income has to be maximised (if not the PL millions, then he needs bums on seats - returning to blue makes economic sense in this scenario) if the club are to meet the FFP requirements.
The unfortunate thing is, there is zero football knowledge on board. This is highlighted in the appointment of a man that was about to get the sack at a League 1 club. In a bizarre case of negotiation, Cardiff ended up paying Orient compensation for a man they didn't want. It's decisions like that that will cost Cardiff - not cost cutting. If there was an element of shrewdness at the club, they could still be a force in the division without spending millions and millions on players. But, with the people at the club, this is not going to happen.

Agree. Tan doesn't care enough about us to do this out of spite. He's working out how to stop losing such a shit-load of money. Which is fair enough really.

Tan had his chance and he ****ed it up. I think he's starting to realise that it's not as easy or straightforward as he thought it was.

Anyway, he has spectacularly called our bluff, NQAT. To think that some (well, one) wanted the rebrand to be conditional on 20,000 ST sales too.... jesus wept. I'd be surprised if it was half that.

Tan is still utterly clueless and ought get out of football and stick to things in which he has more experience, or easier for his lackeys to manage for him.

I doubt he has any feelings for him either way. He's just a troll.

Re: Isn't Tan given us exactly what we've asked for?
Must be a consistent troll as certain posters been dredging up my posts from months ago pointing out the stupidity of going back to blue and forcing Tan to put the club back in the crap it was before he got involved.
Many posters on here hate being reminded that the current shambles is what they voted for.

Heading straight to league 1 should make him a fortune back. Amazing how countless teams like the jacks, burnely, Leicester, Derby, Bournemouth can do well on sensible budgets not cardiff city though eh?

Leicester have spent a fortune over the past few years. And they're not doing particularly well.
