I believe him when he said he will do that this past week, to have a debt free club will be much easier for him to sell the club.

A debt free club is what we've all wanted for many a year if it happens that is a great thing for ccfc.
Can't help feeling if tan had been honest and didn't rebrand the club then things may be different we all live by our own actions and tan has to live by his but in saying that his actions have ruined the club for many people in lots of different ways and the consequence of that is fans feel detached from ccfc bitter about tans dealings no amount of money can repair that for many.
For me hated the rebrand beyond dought glad city have the blue back glad we have a bluebird again on the badge glad tans at last sorting the debt out but on the debt the jury is out we will see.
The lasting problem other than the debt is city as a club is broken can it be fixed .
?
The answer for many is only if tan goes if only tan had done things different were could we be now who knows it's where we are now that counts.

The "within days" statement was as a result of Sam & Tan planning to sit down together and get it sorted. The "within 2 months" statement came about as talks obviously showed that the two parties were miles apart. There were a few on here that were aware of this and let us know.
The rest is history with the relationship breaking down to a level that it went to court. This is why it turned into a 30 month debacle and not a "within days" fait a compli. Both sides would not budge on either payment or advising who Langston were.
But were are there now. Just £40 million to go but a hell of a lot healthier than we have been for many a year.

You cannot make the suggestion that promises have not been kept in the past without looking at the reasons the promises weren't kept.

If all the mistakes are corrected and the debt is paid off, I still feel it is a long road ahead to repairing the wounds created but we would be at least on the right road to recovering a bad situation.

So therefore by the same token you cannot argue that the £68m had been converted because it hasn't yet.

Mike, at this moment theirs are promises not actioned.
I hope they turn into action and are fully actioned.
Then and only then will Tan will have kept his promise.

Throughout his time as owner of the club he has promised to do this "When the time is right" and in that respect the meaning being when the Sam Hamman debt was sorted out. Notice here that I refer to SH and not Langston as it would be unreasonable for VT to carryout converting his debt to equity because as a shareholder that act would have placed him behind SH in any liquidation situation.
Now that "The luckiest man in the world" has his money back the situation exist where it is reasonable for VT to make a massive debt to equity conversion. I for one thank him from the bottom of my heart as in a single stroke he has done more for this club than any previous owner has in the 52 years I have been watching the Bluebirds.
At the time of the rebrand he promised many things including making the club "Virtually" debt free, whatever than means, but in his original statement regarding the rebrand once this debt to equity is done only the training ground will remain outstanding and that is currently going through the planning process.
I'm no accountant but I believe following this debt to equity conversion the assets of the business are higher than the liabilities so doesn't that mean the balance sheet will show the business to be "Debt Free". That maybe a simple way to look at this but I would love CCFCSINCE62 to give me his view on this.
If I'm right surely VT has actually already kept his promise.

I don't know Carl, but I can't see where he is club bashing. As far as I can see he has just stated some obvious facts. We all hope that Tan's announcement comes to fruition, but as the poster says. we've been here plenty of times before only to be let down. Understandable to treat anything that comes out of the club with caution.
