Tan's attitude is very poor
He might be an extremely wealthy person who owns the club and has put a lot of money in but right now surely he should show some visible public sense of caring and stewardship or go?
Just leaving things as they are and letting the club sink as we are doing is completely irresponsible and he is sticking 2 fingers up to the club and the fans.
Make no mistake, we are going down and getting back again will be very very difficult.
Many of us can remember happy times and tough times but frankly the Tan years have been in a different space in terms of being just horrible.
I watched the Wrexham game on tv yesterday and really felt envious of their situation.
Why is it so?

The grass is always greener. Tan has massively flaws but certainly backs the club financially even if some of the money is wasted/ can be debated.Originally Posted by Pearcey3
We had Scam Hammam for years, best years of me supporting the club but it was also built on fake news, lies and deception.
Vincent Tan's family don't like football, and don't understand why he invests so much time and money into it. I suspect we'll soon find out due to Tan's appalling mismanagement of us.
The slow revenge for the return to blue!!
We'll never know of course but I wonder what would have happened had the fanbase united and told him where to go in 2012
Tan needs to pay to get someone decent to run the club, and a proper manager, probably save him millions that he wastes every year, he can’t see it though? He has no vision….
Totally agree.
Investing in a top manager isn't just about winning, it's about saving money. Good signings + success on the pitch = huge financial benefits that easily outweigh a higher salary. The manager is the most crucial investment a club can make.
And yet for a long long time the club, or Tan, have treated it like an inconvenience. It still baffles me, I just don't understand it.
I don't believe his approach with managers is anything to do with saving money on the salary.
if there was a proven manager who could guarantee us promotion then I have no doubt that Tan would be happy to pay for it. unfortunately they don't exist.
proven managers are sacked all the time, the average length of a managerial job in the league is about 18 months I think, most of them experienced.
Often managers who have been effective suddenly one day aren't, even at the same club, so we can't be in the situation where everything revolves around the manager.
This doesn't make Vincent Tan any better of an owner.
Like saying you have no right to complain as you're on the verge of the play offs in League One compared to the likes of Bury, Macclesfield etc who have all gone out of business.
This "careful what you wish for" nonsense is what has got us into this mess. The **** should've been forced out the club years ago
You are possibly right it could be more stupidity than money, but of course you stand a better chance if you appoint an actual Manager not a coach, Hudson. Morison, Rizla, everyone knew they were going to be shit and McCarthy. TLG has listed where they all are, there were so many Managers looking for work this season and he picks Rizla?
The only time he got it right was with Warnock, we all knew what he was capable of, and he came and exceeded most expectations at that time.
He might have to start looking for a League One specialist promotion winning Manager.

there's an argument that our total wasting of the premier league money and parachute payments under Warnock is a bigger failure than it would be if we were relegated under Riza.
Doesn't feel that way for the fans, but from a business point of view it was far more damaging
The Tan Out protests showed some proportion of the fans don't want him there, and when he is there gets abused.
We can't even get Cardiff based fans with season tickets to attend, do you blame him for not being there?
In a perfect world your idea is absolutely the correct way to go. However, Tan has had his fingers burnt many times over the years and I can understand why he is wary of trusting another 'football expert'
Warnock f*cked the club, financially, definitely and up to his neck in the one incident that’s shaped the club over the last few years.
Fine margins, Sala refuses that flight and history changes.
Understanding it doesn't mitigate the fact that he is totally wrong and, unsuited to the club
Who's fault is it that Warnock was allowed to do what he wanted?
It’s heartbreaking to watch, especially when you see clubs like Wrexham building something with real spirit and vision. We deserve better than this silence
If you went down that road, every manager/coach in football would be blameless and nothing would be their fault.
He owns us. He doesn't rent the club he literally owns us, so how do you 'force' him out? If you think a protest is going to bother him I have some very disappointing news for you.
P.S Vincent Tan is quite clearly a much better owner than Dai Yongge, you are lying to yourself if you believe otherwise.
Does every manager/coach sign players primarily from dodgy agents they have a long standing relationship with, even to the point of having their kids collecting a paycheck from the club?
I'm no fan of Vincent Tan, quite the opposite, but you can understand maybe why he's a little reluctant to put a football man in charge when the last time he did exactly that the football man pissed the entire Premiership kitty and parachute payment up the wall on utter dross and there's more than a few questions about whether it was all above board. We can't really make the argument both ways.
To a point you can understand his caution but any organisation worth it's salt doesn't abdicate accountability and give total autonomy especially one who has an outright owner - surely there are checks and balances in play to ensure things were done appropriately - the problem may have been no-one had football knowledge to challenge or counter Warnock - a little like an NHS surgeon having a debate about buying new life saving equipment with a hospital administrator - only one winner I would suspect
There is a middle ground that doesn't give total control to a football man or a cheap inexperienced option such as riza Hudson etc ( I would argue the catalogue of sacked managers isn't cheap as we must have been paying up contracts for 4 or 5 of them at the same time the rate we went through them - multiple people being paid for one person to do the job)
Which ever way you cut it there has been piss poor decision making for a long time and the only people ousted have been managers - they need to look higher up otherwise the pattern will continue as the hierarchy seems to excruciating slow learners
