Having said that I try hard not to stray into politics on this board.
I don't like modern football and my politics being left wing make it very uneasy that the team I support is propped up by an extremely rich capitalist .
His rebrand was shocking
Some of his subordinates managerial appointments have been dreadful , some good 👍
It is what it is
If I won 300 million on the lottery tomorrow and it was enough to buy him out I would
We are not the only club to have had a colourful past with regard to chairman
Brighton had a shocker
Sheffield Wednesday
Newcastle under mike ashley
Newport County with that American idiot
West Ham
Bury
Villa
Until football genuinely changes we are stuck with this sort of thing
If my aunty had bollocks she would be my uncle
Hopefully for 6 months MM can steady the ship and either he's the right man for the job or the club appoint a younger face
But maybe they won't
It is what it is

I think your heart is in the right place but you must realise that Cardiff City FC is a business run by a very successful businessman. We would all like the the romantic notion of an owner with oodles of cash that regularly consulted the fans before any major decisions are made but it is never going to happen.
This 'crappy football' you're talking about has led to 2 major cup finals and 2 promotions to the Premier League in the last 12 years. I think even the most difficult to please fans would consider that value for money and that is a massive understatement.
Long term, who knows, Tan may come around to your way of thinking but I wouldn't bet on it.
Do we need a relegation from this division to start the new beginning and wipe everything we and the players know.
Start fresh from the top, and rebuild the team and its direction.
Its ingrained to lump it forward in everyone of these players.
Morrison is a good defender but the times I scream at him everytime he and the rest of our players just hoof the ball to nobody from one end of the pitch to the other, really gets on my tits.
You have to be joking right ?
Relegation would likely herald a fallow period that we last experienced in the 90's and hopefully will not experience again for a long time to come.
The only way for our football to change is for it to evolve slowly. It won't happen overnight and we certainly don't need a relegation to kick start the change. The acquisition of a couple of ball playing midfielders would be a move in the right direction though.
In answer to the "this is the world we live in" ....
I know. However, if anyone says " Tan's changed, he apologised." ......well, they know where to go.
Secondly, just because you are oozing money, it doesn't mean you can't consult the members of the club you own.
Thirdly, when did Cardiff City become just a company ? Because I remember it feeling a little bit different to a company when I was growing up. It was a place and people.......
Anyway, how can it be just a company like B&Q or something when the marketing keeps on telling me I'm part of something ? #CITYASONE #B&QASONE
If it is a company why th **** would I spend money watching a Mick McCarthy team when I can watch a Jurgen Klopp or a Pep team . Surely this would fly in the face of this logic that a football club is just a company providing entertainment.
....some of you Tan advocates/it's just a company peddlers probably have the audacity to call liverpool supporting south walians "plastics". Seems they were right all along.
Despite all the discussion on here Tan owns the club and he can do what he wants. It's his money, he owns the club and can appoint anyone he wants to the manager. You simply cannot consult everybody.
If you went to an employer and told him how he should be running his company after he had invested millions in to it you'd soon be told where to go. Whilst we may not like what has happened we cannot change it.
Consultation with the Trust and the Supporters Club does exist but they cannot be involved in decisions like this only on issues such as the care of fans etc.
Personally I am happy with the appointment of McCarthy, he certainly won't take any **** from players. He has managed Sunderland and Wolves in the PL and been an international manager with Ireland. He will be organised and get things sorted. He is, in my opinion, like a much better Warnock, only nicer!! Who do we expect to have, Guardiola?
