Vincent Tan to give half his wealth to charity after he dies...

[dml1954]

For those people who don't like Mr Tan, it would be interesting to find out what they think of all the previous owners from the 70’s onwards, including people like Rick Wright, Samesh Kumar, Sam Hammam etc. Prior to Mr Tan taking over, there had been a long line of people who had promised the earth and to plough millions of pounds of their own money into the club but had abjectly failed to deliver on their promises and accordingly run the club to the brink of bankruptcy on a number of occasions. No doubt the Tan haters would be immeasurably more happy with one of those people still in charge but the club would probably no longer exist if they were. Criticising, insulting and belittling a man who has backed the club over a period of ten years and ploughed at least £200m of his own money into it is disrespectful in the extreme. Some people have very short memories.

Don’t think anyone really hates VT do they? I don’t. He seems morally decent and has ploughed a lot of money into the club, I’d love to know how much he’s put in and how much he has got back but it’s such a murky world it seems impossible. He still doesn’t know how to run a club well though, I’m not sure how many CEO he has hd but none appear to have got us anywhere near sustainable.....

I don't like Tan, and its got f all to do with previous owners as my dislikeness of him isn't measured on them. I actually disliked him before the red as well

Interesting claim. So exactly who was in this long line of people who promised the earth and promised to plough millions of pounds of their own money into the club?

This should be good....

Clive Sullivan, whose registered office was a piss drenched phone box in Welling. On that evidence, DML is on the money
