I had a hissy fit?
You stopped supporting the club and wouldn't return until Tan was gone which was then updated to when the team went back to blue but wouldn't give Tan any money and went on friends free tickets but then got a season ticket.
Somebody has had a mare here. I on the other hand stopped posting here for a bit.
As U turns go they are on different planets. Remember that when having a dig at mine.
That is the crux of everything.
You can read exactly what I said about Tan and his rebrand back in 2012 here:

Back then, I vowed that I wouldn't support the team while it played in Tan's red shirts, and I didn't. Not once. City returned to blue in January 2015. My first game post-rebrand was away at Fulham in August 2016.
In 2012, I vowed that I wouldn't put another penny into the club while Tan was the owner, and I maintained that stance for a decade. However, following the advent of Covid-19, I decided that the time was right to get myself another season ticket last summer and I'm totally comfortable with that. I did everything within my powers to oppose the rebrand and Tan's ownership, but times have changed, as has the kit.
Let me ask you a couple of questions: apart from your endless stream of tedious posts on this message board, what have you ever actually done to oppose Vincent Tan's ownership of Cardiff City? And what do you hope to achieve by posting the same things on here every time the team loses?
So after saying you wouldn't put another penny into the club while Tan was here you then did? Thanks for clarifying.
Have a go at my flounce or whatever you and JR names it all you like. It is small fry compared to yours.
That is all.
No answers to my questions? No surprise.
I haven't got to answer anything.
Why does anybody post anything though? Do they think anybody saying the strikers are crap will wake them up and start a scoring spree?
My posting is as futile as the next man, regardless of their inflated idea of their self importance.
I'm not sure why you post half of what you do and don't care either.
Don't like mine then click ignore.
A top manager/director of football would tell him, Choo and Dalman to keep their nose out, so that won't work.
You could try, though. I'm fairly certain the answers would be more amusing than most of what you post.
So come on then, you are obviously deeply opposed to Tan. You want him out of the club. You tell everybody that on a very regular basis. So what have you ever done to actively oppose Tan's ownership of CCFC?
Think this is a large part of it.

A Director of Football may take away some of his control.
Even if this is the case though it is craziness to put that over the health and success of the club.
I could try but I won't.
As I said earlier, what does any message posted here achieve. Not a great deal.
There has been no active protest march or show of discontent outside of the odd banner which are taken by the stewards. I hope the opposition does get more vocal. I am not of the view that just because an owner has bought the club he can run it into the ground. This lot are going a long way to doing it. I truly believe they will make the same mistakes in League 1 as they are now.
So the answer is nothing. Despite the hours upon hours you've spent on here moaning about Vincent Tan, you've never done anything at all to actively oppose his ownership of club.
I'm glad that's been established. It puts your posts into their proper context.
You both want the same things ultimately lads. New Year new me and all that, let’s all at least try to get along.
As I say I wish my posts reach the levels of importance that you think yours do.
I doubt there will be any action unless people care enough about a group of blokes running the club into the ground.
I might boycott for a bit then come back. Not sure yet.
You evidently don't care enough, as you do nothing.
Bit pointless a march or boycott on your own I think.
Think people might turn if we get relegated. A bit late by that point though. Might already be.
Not sure how bad things can get before some fans think it is time to act.
Getting rid of Morison and not giving him time to get the best out of the new signings has proven costly
Do you believe such things organise themselves?
I'm not overly convinced we wouldn't be in a very similar position with Morison.
Agree with that mate. I honestly felt we were close to clicking, we’ve gone backwards under Hudson
City were one point above the relegation zone when Morison was sacked. Two points above the relegation zone now.
Morison is a major reason we are in this mess. He signed 17 players, and yet Whyte and Harris are starting on a regular basis. He made a royal mess of this summer's transfer window. People say the team is better than last season's as if it is fact, I'm pretty sure that isn't true.
In retrospect, it's interesting to look at the opposition during Morison's ten games, during which the side picked up eleven points. After 26 games, the highest ranked of them is Middlesbrough, who are eighth. We all believed the Norwich result was a big one, but it turns out they're not very good and have been beaten nine times already.
Indeed. Today's starting line-up included Sang, Ng, Wintle, Ralls, Whyte and Harris, none of whom were Morison signings.
Lol. There's nothing good to get out of most of the new signings. That's the problem.
And to be fair that was a smash and grab, if we had played them any other time rather than 1st game of the season i'd say we wouldn't have been so lucky.
