Reason why Tan will leave soon

Sun Dec 14, 2014 11:01 am

He's said he will leave if we are " rude and disrespectful." So if we really want our club back it means Tan being gone. I think it's time to get a bit disrespectful although many will hate to hear this,it's time to choose between Tan fc and Cardiff City fc. Which one do you want?

How can we be rude to hi when he is not bothering to turn up?

Banners etc maybe a bit more aggressive than "tan out" I'm sure word will still get to Tan that something has to be done. At the moment is just "we'll always be blue", will that really get to tan?

Don't think banners will do the trick while he stays away.

Not sure if it would work, or has any legs, but if enough of us protest outside of the FA HQ (it's at Wembly stadium) with banners indicating we want our Identity back, (and want the FA to try to help us) then I think that would get the publicity needed. Especially if the media are forewarned.
There may not be much the FA can do about it, but it sure will grab the attention of football fans everywhere.
The next away game nearest Wembley, every coach and independent travelling away fan should leave 4/5 hours early to be outside the offices for an hour of demonstrations.
Not sure if it would achieve much, but it would take the protests to another level.
Has any other club ever done this ?
Everything at club level has been tried.
What is there to lose?
We have already lost a club. :(

Thoughts ?

Good idea which hasn't been done,but a lot of fans have had enough now and I don't know how many would be willing to do this. One thing is for sue,next time tan is at a game I think he will have an ear full.

Boycott! Leave the stands and Tans pockets empty. Supporters groups need to be doing more. Yes fans feel as if it's their obligation to support Cardiff City every week as they have done for the last 20/30 years, but does it really feel like the CAFC - Bluebirds you grew up travelling to Ninian Park supporting.

I completely agree with you that this isn't the Cardiff city we knew but we can't boycott this season as we've already payed but next season I will be boycotting regardless of what league we are in.

It's been about six weeks since I walked away from Cardiff City (club and forum). I'm as appalled by the childish attitude of fans towards our predicament (both sides) as I am by what Vincent Tan has done. However I have concluded that it is Tan's actions that have brought out the pettiness of the fans so I removed my patronage.

Disrespecting Tan will never work in the fans favour as there are a large minority that will see it as the green light to be racist.

The only action is to walk away and not your "look at me, look at me, I walked out at 19:27 but watched from the bar and returned at half time" type of walk out. It has to be the sort where you don't turn up, you sacrifice your season ticket, never to return until the hierarchy is changed. It will soon show by way of matchday takings and the obvious attendance being much less that that which is announced.

However, I don't even expect this to work, not while there are thousands and thousands that are unaware that we even have a problem and then thousands more that see Cardiff City as the centre of their life and could not bear to give up the hours of drinking and time away from their family.

My personal stance is just that, personal. Good luck with all your plans to change things.

Why not write letters to the Malaysian press. There are newspapers on line that welcome write ups for printing. The newspapers out there print in both English and Malaysian. Google Malaysian newspapers.

All I will say is be very careful what you wish for when we still NEED his money

We don't have to like that FACT, but it is none the less a FACT and people need to wake up to that

I don't like what Tan has done to our club's identity or that he has 'dissed' the supporters (although many have hardly been particularly 'respectful' to him either, have they?)

However, I don't see him as being any worse than certain other Chairman/Owner we've had in the past and I certainly appreciated his money when it took us to the Premier League for the first time in my lifetime

Eventually, he WILL go, but it has to be under the RIGHT circumstances and right now is certainly NOT the right time

Some will agree, others will disagree, but when the realities of 'Modern Business Football' are taken into account, it is difficult to see where Cardiff City Football club could go without a major benefactor of Tan's ilk; and from past experiences it is difficult to see where a replacement will come from

Having Tan was a double-edged sword, but the stark realities were that without him (or initially TG) our beloved club would have folded a few short years ago and anyone who genuinely believes otherwise is hugely misguided

Common sense at last but remember common sense isn't really the way with some on this board :thumbup:

Re: Reason why Tan will leave soon

I understand people want him gone but I don't understand the logic in being rude and disrespectful as a way to get him out.
Unless we have a buyer or someone willing to buy the club from it then it's pointless.

Or do people want to be rude to tan then expect him to pass the club on for free to be nice to everyone having a go at him?
I think it's more likely he would dig his heels in and finish the club off just to have a go back.

Cant you see what he is trying to do now.

He is streamlining the club so the books will balance. That will make us more attractive.

I don't give a shit if he pays the bills.

Money is not as important as the clubs identity.

I'd rather be Portsmouth than us currently.

And BTWo our fans have every right to disrespect him. You don't bat an eye lid when we rip into the opposition players. Tan has a bit of money and he is the queen apparently.
