    As long as it’s not Sam or some yank who doesn’t have a clue then so be it. Be hard to better Tan though.

    You be the judge of whether it is silly season or not 🤔🤔

    Tan: "player owner you say? Hmmm why didn't I think of this before? Mehmet!! Hold my belt"

    Being “ITK” must be a piece of cake. I’m sure clubs are almost always in some sort of talks about a takeover so reporting on it as breaking news is nothing special. If it goes through; “look at me I’ve got secret connections” if it doesn’t; “oh well talks broke down”.

    Unless someone can say something more substantial such as the nationality of the bidder, if it’s a consortium, expected price or timeframe, etc then I’d not take much notice of these rumours.

    Ffaceless consortium secretly backed by a Russian oligarch

    I'd quite miss Vinnie should he sell.

    His tash, which is reminiscent of Tom Selleck's in Magnum P.I., that cheeky smile of his and the eccentric way he fastens his trouser belt at chest level are some of his charming characteristics.

    If VT goes I think we should recognise his commitment , funding , promotions .

    The other website is reporting this story as well.

    Not even Bale is rich enough to buy Cardiff City as the debt will be past on to any new owner.

    Tan will have to right of his terrible running of ccfc if he ever wants to sell….no one’s going to give him £30 mill plus the £100 he wasted.
    Some you win, some you lose

    I’ll put the £100 in that’s he wasted, if that helps.

    Re: Takeover ?

    Wonder how much the club would even go for these days? 30 mill? I’m sure Bale could afford that and no doubt he would have partners anyway. This and Wales to win would just be too much to take in anyway….wales and cardiff…..just won’t happen

    Bale isn't rich enough to buy a football club. As in, yes he could afford it but you need throwaway money, you need to be able to kiss goodbye to £100 million without being too upset about it

    Yep! Perhaps I should have said "daft enough" instead of "rich enough". Personally I would be sorry to see Tan eventually go even though his stewardship of the club hasn't been that great but he has ploughed an enormous amount of money in the club with little thanks and no reward.

    Jenkins out west managed it on a shoestring, it can be done

    Bale buying a golf club? Possibly. Bale buying a football club? Surely not. Still struggling to get my head around the possibility of him playing for us - that’ll do for me.

    Not many investors make a profit from football clubs, the odd brit, but mostly Americans although they got their fingers burnt with Swansea so would we look that atractive to American Investors?

    I believe the Jacks investors have done very well out of the club.
