He is keeping the club afloat by paying the monethly bills and those bills are going to be greatly reduced if we go down. He will continue to keep us going from change from his back pocket only. We are stuck with him.

Bills "greatly reduced" will be fly shit compared to revenue losses due to TV rights etc. Peterborough's owner harps on about the difference (circa 70% less) when you drop down the L1.
If we go down, the biggest challenge will be financial, not on the pitch. In my opinion.

Tan wants £200 Mill for Cardiff city as he’s lost a lot of his own wealth due to his bad dealings elsewhere.
CARDIFF CITY CLUB VALUE :
Every time one says Tan should sell the Club at a figure (£50-100-200 million)…….one always assumes that the Club is 100% ‘debt free”!!
If the Club has a debt of £50 million and Tan is personally paid say £75 million ….. then really the buyer is paying £125 million !!!! (and not £75 million) .
There are of course many other important considerations including :
(1) How much is the Club losing per year with the employees and salaries and overheads etc ….. these the buyer will have to factor into his purchase price .
The Club would have quite a bit of wasted expenses on say players you are stuck with or Choo or wasted contracts….
(2) To build our stadium in today’s cost ….would cost well over £100 million .
The Club value is at over £80 million in the accounts .
However really and practically you can not have a Club if you don’t have a stadium ……so sometimes the practical value is valued at zero . So the value put on this is very subjective .
(3) there is of course the question of which division the Club is in?
(4) an extremely important consideration is the real value of the players .
(5) the question of how much new capital the buyer is intending to inject is also important . There are naturally many other considerations .
I know how much I would pay Tan for the Club ……but I am not saying .
What would you pay Tan ……if you had the money ?

The £250M that's been spent actually now represents 50% of his entire net worth following major overall Berjaya group losses. This is why he's stubbornly holding out for at least £200M and as the losses grow, perhaps more, it represents a lot to him in real terms. His family are not interested in the football business and his focus is on other projects such as Telco, Rail and gambling.
And he's just about to have his two clubs get relegated in synch all under his watch and with a part time CEO and Chairman.

Tan can wipe any debt of what he's owed at the time of the sale but if people think he would do that for 50 milliom there deluded , he owns/the club , the stadium , the stadium is worth well over 50 million as shown in accounts , someone is going to have to stump up some serious money well over 100 million for Tan to let go I think, hes 250 million plus in a hole atm but I'm not sure he really cares he's said he's going to give away his wealth any way , tan is not a normal businessman as we know . The way Tan will go is if we stay up and by a miracle we get promoted in the future , if we do go down he won't be going anywhere.

What value is that to someone if club can't pay the lease? Can't own the stadium or reposess it.. understand the principle but isit practical ?
