Said it before and shall say it again....FICKLE FANS.

We're not as big as some people make us out to be. We have potential to be big, alot, but we ain't.

Onwards and upwards folks. Making you sick, but "in Tan I trust"


He trusted Malky to sign:

Mutch (£5m profit)
Mason (£2.5M profit)
Campbell (£300K profit)
Broke even on Medel, Theophile, Caulker etc.
So for an outlay of £3m ?? Malky got the club into the PL earning over £100m. But all you think of is one player who only played 1or 2 games due to injury. He was sold for a loss of maybe £1 or £2m.
Where is any evidence Malky ripped the club off? Tan the untrustworthy spent a fortune trying to prove it, but could not.

We lost more than 1m on Cornelius Ffs we bought him for 8 sold him for 3 and paid him over a million in wages in his 6 months with us. Plus agents fees and signing on fee that deal alone prob cost us 7m.
Kimbo 2.5m another you've left off your list. Can count the number of good games he had on one hand. He was on 1m a year for best part of 3 years. You don't just get given 100m it has to be used on the obscene wages we agreed to pay these players. Gary Medel 2.5m a year, Caulker 2m a year, Kenwynne Jones 2m a year, all big signing in fees no doubt, agent fees.etc

Bluebird since 1948 wrote:I believe we've lost 12,500 ST holders in two years because we got relegated from the PL, nothing to do with Tan. If Tan has put so many off then why in that premier league season and our promotion season did we have our highest attendances for years and years.

People are just using the excuse of Slade and Tan as an excuse not to go, they will be back when we go up. The hardcore like yourself will stay no matter what.


Funny how our best supported season under Tan was while we were red, relegation meant a lot of fans left.
