I Think The Pantomime Villain Tan Won't Sell

I don't think Vincent Tan is going to sell the club in the near future. He's had several good bids and has said no to all of them (as far as I know).

I think he will see how we start the season. If we have a flying start, then I think he will keep the club hoping for promotion, bumper crowds and potentially higher club valuation.

If we have a shite start then I think we have a chance of getting rid of Tan for good.

I got back from the pub and put my ranting onto YouTube. It would be great to get a few views lads.

I'd be surprised that's the case.
Everything is set up for a sale.
Wage budget cut massively. No incoming apart from a loan (with an option to buy next season).
Branding on the stadium changing (which is his sponsorship).

The fact they've not addressed the rumours too.

I don’t get the Cardiff not worth 50 million. But then Cardiff is worth what people are willing to pay. Wasn’t offers agreed?
It just contradicts itself so turned it off after that.

Agreed, and surprised if this is given much credence’. It could/should have gone on an existing thread that addresses the same thoughts

Agreed! L

Excuse the pun, but the ‘signs’ are there!

This has already been a strange summer, and the stuff going on/not going on in the background would be confusing, if it were not for the purpose of a sale

More news (of sorts) after Mehmet and Steve meet the Heads of Departments, and then the official Supporters Groups tomorrow

Im not saying it will be the case, but hopefully, it will be a Christian Horner moment!

And just remember, the club (nee Tan) does not need to announce any sale to anyone outside the club first, as we are not on the Stock Market, where the rules are different

the only thing I’d say is he sold the Belgium team and even announced it, only to do a U-Turn.

I hope it all goes through, it’ll be a massive boost for us if he does sell up

That’s the big worry; but the info and signs are there for a positive outcome

Every home game we must make it clear with tan out chants it's that simple not one chant and that's it if the used car salesmen or any of them are actually in the directors box aim it towards them it's the only way for us to get it out in the open to them. I've bought extra tickets just to be close to the directors box for this reason come Saturday even though I got a season ticket elsewhere because I'm done with it all and the twats at the club

Who is the guy in the video?
Anyone I should know?

I don’t know what will happen but if nothing happens then all these rumours of the South African take over will be all lies and the interest on top.

The narrative seems to have changed because we ain’t heard nothing since so the people saying we was having new owners will go quiet and have gone quiet as of late.. really disappointed and will be even more so as I genuinely believed it all and at this moment it’s was all guess work.

Lied by who Dando???


I am many other have confirmed that we have 3 Separate Consortiums trying to buy us, including Media Wales Confirming the South Africans.

Dalman and Keith Morgan even Denied Bales Bid, so he went public.

Have you ever heard Dalman tell us the truth???

Tan has lied from day one.

People who have dragged our club through the Dirt, bullshitted the fans and Steipped is of our identity.


I will also state Tan could if sold us on numerous occasions over the years, but for some reason at the last moment he changes his mind.

Everything I seen on social media, just because Bale has come out and said he has bid or budded a few times doesn’t mean it’s true, you can’t rule out the fact he is telling lies himself and he may be interested but not submitted a bid which I think is the exact case.

Well all the stuff I seen off various social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc at this moment depending on what comes out tomorrow is all lies and speculation.

I don’t believe for one second he has last minute changed his mind, I firmly believe no bids have been submitted and that is just interest at this point.

The lack of coverage of all this rumour of various people sending bids from media outlets is all you need to know, if there was legitimate bids it would be in the public domain from the media.. you can’t believe a club can keep a takeover under wraps look at the other clubs that been taken over last few years it gets leaked straight away, fact.

Can you explain why there are 3 board members meeting heads dept... media... and all 3 fan groups? Its not simply to say tans not selling nor to say had 3 bids ... so love to know what you think it could possibly be?

Like most business men he wants his buck . Has he invested in us ? and should he try get the best deal? Are the real questions.

I started the view its to announce takeover when no one else was thinking of it....I am a logical person and it's only logical answer? All others I've heared can be done via a statement no need for 3 board members to meet managers press and fans.... but have made provision its tan we are talking about so could be anything! not seen a convincing alternative.

I’m along the same lines. Hopefully to announce bids received and are being considered. I have been flip flopping last few days. lol.

Can easily put out statement saying had 3 bids and being considered ? This is what I mean people not putting a good argument as to what the meetings are about that cannot be done with a statement ? Just go to heads dept meeting in my experience this is to announce redundancies that's already been addressed usually its because a major change is imminent .. and no need to meet press or meet fans... the only thing hard to argue against is takeover... like said no one as put in a logical or counter argument that stands up to scrutiny... I may be putting neck out but cannot see behond this other than tans unpredictability

We will end up like Sheffield Wednesday if Tan stays.

I’m actually surprised at your post, but it is your prerogative to hold that view, no matter how wide of the mark you are!

Things will be a little/lot clearer after these meetings tomorrow, and we will have some substance (positive or negative) to talk about

IF, at any time, it transpires that my (IMHO) impeccable source(s) have got it wrong, I will hold my hands up and apologise

I don’t believe that will happen, so that only leaves you and the others who believe ‘nothing is happening’ to apologise, if it is you that are wrong

I stand by my words and we’ll see what transpires tomorrow and in the near future!

We will end up like Sheffield Wednesday if Tan stays.

What not paying staff efl sanctions Inc embargos ? Players paying for own hotel rooms! If you had said relegation I would agree that's possible.

We will end up like Sheffield Wednesday if Tan stays.

We already been like them back in the really bad days. Maybe your to young to remember and only recall the premier league years. But we used to be in a right mess for years.

Wide of mark because dalman said no bids were made when you know Bale made bid publically ? Who was lying dalman or Bale?
If dalman said no bids which is clearly a lie what else did he lie about? S Africa maybe??

Dalman said "no official bids". What the difference between official and Bales media comments I don't know. Dalman is an expert in playing words.

Apparently can only be an official bid if parties making bid show their financial statements from banks .....buisnesses .... ect ect guess sending letter of intent to offer 40m or whatever bales was doesn’t constitute a bid.

That’s very interesting, Allan. But I guess there’s always a way round things with this type of thing!
