I do think we are seeing the end of Tans reign

Fri Jun 20, 2025 7:12 pm

.... and for me, it is long long overdue. Ever since I was Barclay1 lve seen the havoc and devastation he was causing and the heartache it was causing the fans.

The picture we are seeing is that this managerial crisis we are having and the internal arguing isn't about BBM. It's about Tan and his dictatorial reign.

When he goes we will see a great weight lifted and while I don't see that it will need much of a push to finally rid ourselves, I do Believe NOW is the time to all strike together.

Let me pass on my own opinion...

We need a double down on the pressure, the anti Tan rhetoric. IMO, Tan etc al lost us Bale 1st time round, he's lost us Ramsey, he's lost us Sam H, and no doubt plenty of other suitors.

Again just my opinion but if we're not careful he will sell us not to a forward thinking group with CCFC at its heart, but some Dud group just because 'its my ball and I decide who plays' and only those I like Ill sell to....

Tan will sell....he will be gone. I believe we will all be happy but he still has the opportunity to turn the knife once more based on who he sells to..... Does he give us final hope or does he kill us??

One last push, and he is gone.Now is the time to voice your opinion.

Apart from Bale there are a number of interested parties.

Agreed time to turn it up a notch and with bales name out there I think it may persuade a lot more people to join the cause this is our big chance to put the hammer down and drive the dictator out once and for all

I'm not being funny to the post originator but, how old are you?
I 100% disagree with the way Vincent Tan is running our club at the moment. He is losing millions of £s of his own money propping up our club because of his interfering ignorance. Some of our fans have very short memories. Let me remind you of a few. The Kumar brothers. Sam Hammam( I will probably be savaged for this) were probably the worst owners we have ever had.I hope Gareth Bale and his consortium take over and give us a fresh start.

I'm not sure your point, and I see you are technically agreeing with me. I'm not getting into a who is worse owner suffice to say Tan ruined and created havoc, split the fans based, has zero knowledge of football, is dismissive of our culture, takes 100% control of team selection, tactics, signings.


My opinion.

As for how old I am, I'll let that comment pass.

What I'm saying is we have have had far worse owners than Vincent Tan. That's why I asked your age.

Have We?

The Despicable Rebrand alone which lasted 4 years just that alone makes Tan the Worst ever owner

Well said Jonny
I think he is gonna kill us , take us to the cleaners . Hate to be negative but I strongly feel there’s worse to come , and I don’t believe he would be happy to sell us to the likes of bale , he’d rather see us drown

There are always a few who make excuses for Tan.

Shame on them.

I think it's possible, but he's probably hoping he'll have a chance of promotion and a big win in the courts, but if the offer is genuine and of fair value, I think his family could persuade him to call it a day.

Let’s just pray he sees sense and sells. It’s clearly behind him after 15 years of mainly failure which has cost him a fortune if what he says is true. Mainly all his doing and his decisions put him there though, time to give it up Vincent? Less you like losing millions a month (allegedly)

Great post Jonny with you all the way, let’s push on, pile the pressure on the worst owner we have ever had

But….

I just hate this gut feeling i have which is that Tan will dig his heels in and stand firm. He’s a sad strange stubborn and deaf to advice individual who does not like to be told what to do, I will pop open the champagne and will be on the ceiling if the bale takeover or any for that matter happens. Particularly Bale. I just can’t see him budging He’s conditioned me to his ways and bad news. I despise him for that and what he’s done to our club, us fans, and I think he will get worse. Which means we must go for the jugular and rise up. This news going big will create more awareness and exposure and might go some way towards improving the unity in our club we need as the fence sitters and Tan supporters may finally realise what kind of man we really do have running our club. A tyrant. The true director of football we have always craved.

13 years of his tyranny have done this to me.

Yes, I think he is finally winding up his controlling interest in the city. His daughters have major roles in Beryaja, his eldest son is involved with HR Owen. It has been said that none of his family is interested in the Cardiff, so I can see him selling control but retaining a "I told you so" interest.

I believe the propaganda. I think he watches every game, believes he knows his stuff, and I don't think he can easily give that up.

He has said in the past that he would leave the club in good hands when he eventually sells but then again he also said debt free. It seems Annis is right when he says he lies

I'm not sticking up for Tan, I want him gone too, but we have had some terrible owners.

I'm not a tan lover by any stretch of the imagination but the OP is in my opinion flawed.
on one hand your saying that we should continue the anti tan bombardment on here and other sites (I do tend to agree that this is something that is needed) yet on the other hand you're worried about tan only selling to a buyer who will take the club on a downward spiral to spite the fans that opposed the infamous rebrand. now my point is that it's a delicate balance then of putting pressure on the dictator but not enough to upset him enough to seel us down the river as a last parting FO to us all.

Your final sentence sums it up perfectly. Tan is the type of person who has to be seen to have gained some sort of honour and hounding him out will only make our situation worse. He has to be given a way out so as not to lose face. Losing another 12 million next year is chicken feed to what he has lost already so he will bide his time, hope we can get promoted and recoup more of his money than he will get now.
