Talking of Takeover's -Gareth Bale

[Pedro de la Rosa]

He's the face of a hedge fund. He won't be putting much in, he won't be able to afford to buy a football club

It’s disappointing, but he doesn’t owe Cardiff City anything. One of these people that has a loose link to the City but has never been a true fan (from what I can see)

Just cheaper, £20 million for Plymouth? The loon would demand 5 times that fir us due to all the money he’s wasted

It’s interesting how a poster slagging off GB gets it tight on here, yet you can call Tan a “Loon” and that’s seems acceptable.
Bale has been absolutely brilliant for Wales and Welsh football, and has rightly got cult status, but has done nothing for his hometown club ( which is his prerogative) On the other hand Tan has got us 2 promotions to the Premier League and steadied a ship that was floundering.at the time he took over.
I’m no Tan apologist and I’m the first to agree that he’s made some strange decisions as well.

Gareth Bale almost single handedly dragged us through to qualifying for Euro 2016 and gave me and my boys some tremendous memories watching Wales in France in the summer of 2016.

Vincent Tan did indeed bring us 2 promotions but outweighed by the 3 relegations! He split the fan base apart with the switch to red ( one of my sons and some good friends haven’t seen a City game since) and all feel good factor following Cardiff left at that point. Yes I enjoyed some of the early games under Warnock in our promotion season but for me Tan destroyed a lot of goodwill at Cardiff over his time in charge , there is now a huge disconnect with the fan base, almost bordering on contempt , and when he goes I will not look back on his period of owning the club with fond memories

Regardless of where you stand on Tan's part in some joyful times for Cardiff City, people very rarely love the owner in the same way as they love the players or manager. He could not have put a foot wrong during his time here and he'd still come nowhere near Gareth Bale for me, who's directly given me some of the best moments of my life. Astute financial management doesn't create the same emotion (if there had been any)

If you read my post again I’m agreeing with you..
Just don’t think the vitriol is required in either case.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Modric's 'investment' in the Jacks is little more than a tax avoidance scheme - same with Bale. Several high net-worth footballers have done the same..
