I noticed by all posts your a massive fan of Tan and a fan of Slade.

Interesting.

Tan needs to sort out Cardiff City,not his other 3 clubs,were the ones £130mill plus in debt.

Not at all. In fact I've posted before that I've wanted Slade out. This is positive news from the Tan camp, he's now won two league titles as a chairman, also a League Cup runner up. So for those who say he's clueless, he's doing something right.

'Uncle' Vincent Tan and Russell Slade watch as FK Sarajevo win league and secure Champions League football

WalesOnline

Saturday May 30th


Vincent Tan is the owner of a team in the Champions League - after FK Sarajevo became the champions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The club he bought in 2013, after first becoming a football owner with Cardiff City in 2010, claimed the Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League with a 3-1 victory over city rivals Zeljeznicar.

Tan and Bluebirds boss Russell Slade were both present for the occasion, posing for pictures with fans before the match, after being greeted at Sarajevo International Airport by president Edis Kusturica and director Dino Selimovic.

Wearing a replica FK Sarajevo shirt with Amidza - meaning 'Uncle' - emblazoned on the back, Tan enthusiastically applauded the team at full-time as they claimed a first league title for eight years.

Their triumph will see them enter the Champions League at the second qualifying round ahead of the group stage of the tournament proper in 2015/16.

It comes two years after Tan confirmed he would invest $2 million in the club and institute co-operation and possible player exchange between Sarajevo and Cardiff City.

At the time, Tan said: "Bosnia is full of talents. We have already concluded an agreement on cooperation between the two clubs. Cardiff City will also provide technical support in building an academy, we will play friendlies, exchange players and organise joint training camps."

It's just bringing a bit of positive light, as the KV Kortijk story was quick to be on here when it's just whats goes on in football, doesn't make me a fan of Slade or Tan at all, just think it should be a bit balanced. He's been clueless with us in some cases but through these experiences like today, it could mean we're run in a much better manner.

Its Cardiff City that need the positivity and love and attention :thumbright: :ayatollah: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

For me personally in my 43 consecutive years of following Cardiff City,Tan has given me some of the worst ever times.
I can not forgive him for stripping us of our identity and seeing City fan fight City fan.
Tan has taken the heart and soul from our club and that has hurt me beyond :cry:

Cannot believe I have just seen the words "Champions League" and "Russell Slade" in the same post!

Maybe if we're lucky Russell was there to be unveiled in the next few days as their new manager!!

Oh well, we can but hope.

It strikes me that the one thing that VT has done with his other clubs is to supply the funds (loans) and then leave them alone. Unfortunately, his football 'lesson' was learned on us and at our loss. As such, his main focus should be on putting things right with us, as we really should be looking forward to enjoying a third season in the PL, with an income of £120m and not £130m in debt. And did somebody really give him a shirt with 'Uncle' on the back? I feel sick.

But its difficult to isolate the worst times without balancing them against the massive positive in gaining Premier League status for the first time.

I definitely want home to go as the fans will remain divided and blinkered against him or for him while he stays.

However we cannot bury our heads in the sand and see it ALL as negative.

Wayne Also Tan even ruined our time in the Premier League.
I cant change how I feel, as he really has destroyed a lot of my passion for Cardiff City, I cant see that coming back till he has gone. Ive renewed for my 44th season, but thats through loyalty to the name Cardiff City :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluebird: :ayatollah:

Completely agree with everything annis is saying lots of people aren't renewing not because of Slade because we've had bad managers in the past Cork,Durban and all the others but he's done so much damage will never forgive him no idea why I renewed for next season it's definitely not for the football tan has to go but who else has the kind of money to pay off the shit he's got us into.
