    The rest of your post is duly noted.
    When you see how badly they run the club is it any surprise though? He just had to pay bulut off? Before that Morison and macarthy, he wastes millions in legal shit, crap managers when really a good manager would save him money and even get us promoted. Also, I don’t believe a word they say anymore, do you?

    Most clubs do the same cock ups though , ( how many clubs are in a worse financial position than us ) we are not alone in that regard, and as someone pointed out , at least these owners have done significant positive changes, such as the Llanrumney site, the stadium expansion, the new training ground etc etc

    Of course they have made ridiculous mistakes as well but if the club was challenging for promotion then I don’t think there would be hardly any concern with the off the field side of things. You will always get the usual shit stirring though, fans who like the sound of their own voices and don’t like to be called out.

    The £12m cash injection per season is well documented and probably keeps the club in existence.

    If the £12m cash injection per season was used wisely and we were challenging in the top half, it would be money well spent. As it is, he's wasting £12m a year on his own mistakes and watching his side hover over the League 1 trap door, yet you reckon we shouldn't be concerned?

    I don’t believe anything the current mob say unless there is documentary evidence to back up their claims and I’m certainly not alone with that line of thinking.

    Perhaps this claim was made some time in the past, but it would seem odd if they had to find exactly the same figure every year, wouldn’t it?

    Regardless, the money they have to find every year is needed to balance out the money they waste through their mismanagement every year. I can recall Dalman publicly claiming the club’s wage bill this season is one of the sixth biggest in the division. If that’s even close to being true then it demonstrates just how poorly the club is being run.

    Did he say this this season? He may have done. He did last season but I didn't know he'd said it again this season.

    I haven’t heard that line about Tan having to put a million or more in a month for a while, but, even if it is still the case, it’s hard to have too much sympathy when Tan is running the club in a manner which makes generating income so much harder - continually sacking managers and making poor choices when replacing only leads to sub standard results and performance and, although you’d like to think some of our summer signings would have some sell on value, it’s a bit of a novelty to see us recruiting such players.

    Regardless what money “the current mob” waste every year , as long as it’s not yours I wouldn’t worry about it.

    How many clubs waste money in the EFL pyramid season after season, probably 90% or so and rely heavily on ownership funds to keep them going. No doubt you will be eager to see activity in the current window and perhaps some youngsters in Llanrumney given an opportunity to have a pathway to the first team, which is the best approach to minimise inflated expectations and keep wage costs down and perhaps command transfer fees ( like the recent one involving York)

    It appears that you take things too seriously

    I don’t worry about it. It was you who brought up the subject of their financial input, not me. You seem concerned about what would happen if they weren’t involved. I’m not concerned. On the contrary, I’d be happy if they weren’t involved.

    I'd rather £12m [or whatever] was well spent. Bigger crowds, better football, better results..

    It’s not going to be well spent though is it? History has proved as much, yet he persists, maybe he likes losing money as he has so much?
    He needs to put someone who is good at managing a club in control like any astute businessman living 1000’s of miles away would do…..

    If it is a million a month then when was that figure first mentioned? A good few years ago?

    It maybe significantly more now or could be less. Who knows?

    And say when we sold mcguiness where does that money go? I know we don't sell many players (thanks to mick for bringing him in) but surely must have some impact and it can't just be a million a month for years?

    I have often wondered how much money a club clears when selling players. Presumably there are lawyer's costs, registration fees etc but is any tax of any description payable?

    Well, it must be if we have constantly overspent by £12 million a year since Covid. I guess those figures were during Covid, i bet he had to dig out his tourism empire even more. Revenge travel has eliminated his tourism losses and surprisingly good attendance at the football with a new cracking TV deal must have helped as well.

    I have no problem with him running us as a normal business without subsidising, but at least have a decent local team to run your £100 million business.
