Vincent Tan is flying into London at the end of this week, there is a strong possibility that the Cardiff City owner will make an appearance at The Valley on Saturday when City face Charlton Athletic.

If Vincent Tan does indeed attend the game on Saturday it will be only his second appearance of the season, the first was the away game versus QPR which was live on Sky and dubbed the Malaysian Derby.

The main purpose for Tan's visit to London is to hold a face to face meeting with manager Russell Slade.

The reason behind this meeting between the owner and manager or the need for it to be done face to face and not over the phone or via video link is unknown.

I have been told about the meeting from a very good source but not told the reasons behind it.

No doubt fans will speculate what the meeting is about but as I have said I simply don't know except that there is indeed a meeting planned between the two to take place next week.

I also have it on good authority that Russell Slade has been offered at least two jobs in recent weeks and there are chairmen from other clubs who recognise that Slade has done and is doing a good job at Cardiff City under the circumstances he is working.

I would imagine that once the meeting has taken place City fans will hear all about it.


Vincent Tan sacks Slade.

Vinny dangles a carrot at the special one.

Mourihno takes over until the end of the season on a massive promotion bonus.

Bellamy comes in as his number 2.

Bellamy then takes over next season. :thumbup:

Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan flies into UK this week ahead of significant financial announcement

By Steve Tucker

Monday 8th Feb 2016

Tan will be at Cardiff's game on Saturday but it is understood a new deal for manager Russell Slade is not on the agenda despite his contract expiring at the end of the season

Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan will jet into the UK for a surprise visit this weekend and will watch the Bluebirds in action at Charlton.

But it is understood the future of manager Russell Slade will NOT be on the agenda despite the fact his current contract expires at the end of the season.

Tan's visit, however, is expected to be followed by a significant announcement in the coming weeks when he is likely to convert more of his debt to equity.

The Malaysian billionaire will fly in on Thursday and will be at The Valley to watch his side take on Charlton as Russell Slade’s men look to keep in the Championship play-off hunt.

The club though insist the visit merely coincides with a business trip Tan is making to London anyway .
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Slade's future, talks with the manager over a new deal are not thought to be planned, although Tan is expected to meet with Slade during his stay.

In terms of the forthcoming financial announcement, reports suggest Tan is currently owed around £150m in the form of loans he has put into the club since taking charge. He has already converted around £13m of that into equity and more is now set to follow.

It remains unclear the amount Tan will now convert into shares. In the past he had spoken about turning all his input into the club into equity to make the club debt free, but with the amount growing he has since said that would not be feasible at this time.

Tan recently reached agreement to finally settle with the club’s biggest and oldest creditor Langston, the Bluebirds agreeing to make a final payment of around £5m to settle the original £24m in loan notes taken out way back in 2003. Langston will be paid more when the club is promoted back to the Premier League.

How nice of tan to actually take some interest in ccfc.. Hasn't been bothered to watch ccfc at all since he got other toys to play with disgusting really!! I won't be going back down till he's gone.. he's showed a lack of respect to ccfc history and made us a laughing stock with a no one like slade and the way the club is run is a joke no one with real football experience. All those empty seats are because he treated us as a marketing tool for Malaysia and not the football club of Cardiff.

he will certainly earn some respect off me if he cuts the debt more, even tho he is a huge part on why the debt has happened in the 1st place. even more so if he anounces Slade has done his bit and brings in a more experianced manager in till end of season with Bellamy learning his trade next to him ready for next seasons go at it.
is all lost this season yet ? possibly not if theres a fresh input in the lead role
