This guy is huge in the world of finance, even though he is not short of a few quid, he is not personally minted. He heads a hedge fund company and was involved in the dealings with mufc when the glaziers were negotiating for power.

I think this guy has been appointed to support and negociate the clubs short to long term debs ie, langstone.

Is he involved to find new investors??

"Mr Dalman is no stranger to corporate dramas"...

Welcome to Cardiff City FC then, the biggest drama of them all!

much more too come on this , here ewe go with the little titbits at a time , just get it all out in one go, but smart move by carl and annis..to keep the interest in the updates flowing..

was involved in the dealings with mufc when the glaziers were negotiating for power.

As far as I'm concerned that's far from a good thing. The Glazers have angered and shafted a hell of a lot of people with regards to the United takeover and look at that club now. Over half a billion worth of debt and struggling badly in the face of Middle Eastern superiority across the road.

Seems he was on the books of Crystal Palace in his younger days: "What's his background? Mr Dalman is a Turkish Cypriot who was on the books at Crystal Palace FC. However, he ultimately chose education (the London School of Economics) and finance over football..."

That's why I'm worried, could a possible legal battle with langstone put Cardiff City into possible administration?? I'm serious on this, this guy I brought in by corporation to do the deal, then move on. Hence why he has been director 6 times with different companies, all previous 6 have had either a takeover o have been involved with hedgefunds or investments from known sources.

Please tell us he's going to put in 10million in transfer kitty for jan

Put simply; he's not.

Well I've heard he is part of The Langston Consortium

I have been an avid supporter of TG and VT, however this appointment worries me.

Interesting development, will have to do some research on him when I have some time in order to give some sort of opinion on his appointment.

one way or the other i feel vincent will have full ownership of Cardiff City before the end of 2012

He gets things done on the finances side. Could mean that Tan is going in for the kill with Sam/Langstone or new owners may be in the offing. Either way uncertain times ahead.

No chance, he is corrupt and selling you down the river and I would be worried if I was you lot, he has no interest in football.

Which River???????? TAFF????????

recently left the hedge fund called Toscafund to concentrate on other roles

And you'd know that because?

Bit Petty of you, isn't it?

his interests in China have grown considerably recently so another with a Far East connection - hmmm - bit of a mover and shaker by the looks - maybe my first hunch was wrong about this geezer - gonna research some more

Aliens....don't think your far from the truth there.

Even if Tan is in it to make a few quid, we all know he is a shrewd businessman how can he make a profit from the sale as things stand, I think it's impossible.

He don't own enough of the sharehold to automatically control a total buyout, this would not only cost him easy 20-50 million in share sales but he will then have full ownership of this historic debt.

look at Everton, a top 8 premiership club, has a huge fan base, good business trades in Asia and Australia, has only 40 million debt, yet cannot find an investor, yes Goodison Park is dated but....we have a similar debt with very little assets.

I cannot foresee another control battle it's too ar down the line,I think Memet s on Baird to look at th langstone debt, simple as that, he will get a huge bond if he can get rid so to speak, if he can negotiate a buy of for say 15 million, this will make Cardiff pretty much debt free and then very attractive to investors.

At the moment, we are not worth more that 20-30 million max, without this debt.....40-60 million??

Interesting

His name is Mehmet Dalman (sorry Carl)

Tony, thank you, I posted this in a bit of a rush as I was going into a hospital to visit a friend and posted off my phone. I should have doubled checked before submitting

Schoolboy error

Will update with more news later

interesting article on him here - quite a few years old but ruthless fecker by the sound of things - http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2004/oct/02/7

was involved in the dealings with mufc when the glaziers were negotiating for power.

At the start of Man City's game tonight, Man Yew were level on points with them.

If that's your definition of "struggling badly"...

I've been told this guy, who is a close friend of the Glazers (Man Utd) has sold his shares in Man Utd to come on board at Cardiff City.

Apparently the guy is minted so this is very interesting news.

OK what's the link with Cardiff City? According to his profile he is into gas and oil exploration so we have to wonder what's under CCS

Well there was a lot of hot air when riddler was in charge but then again the ground still froze. Typical Riddler bullshit.

I was told after Christmas that some ex Man Utd shareholder was selling up to buy into Cardiff City, exciting times ahead I think Tony.


He actually sold his shares in man utd when the glazers came into the club.
I would assume he is going to play a major part because for the last month he was going through the due process with the football league before being announced.
he would hardly have done that if he was going to be a bit player.

Any Info on him Carl

Not sure I got the right guy but I think he has something to do with ENRC. Are they the ones who have something to do with Spurs?

Cheers Tony ....I'm searching for info online, but can't find a lot

Search Mehmet Dalman that is the name given on the Companies House website as the director appointed on the 10/1/2012

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehmet_Dalman

He seems to be an investment banker who purchased 20% share in Man Utd 2004 if it is the same Mehmet ?

the very same
