" hard -nosed & successful businessman & sadly I do not feel compromise is in his nature or vocabulary"

HELLO SMELL THE ROSES MATE, THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!!



...... and you of course , are prepared to pay any price for that success !? Including The Tanipulator's pseudo-democracy , vote for whatever you want fans - but only on the ballot paper I provide !! No , Tan doesn't have to delve into democracy at all !!!! But , please don't then use such tactics to claim black shorts is really what the fans wanted !! Why I wonder , didn't the colour blue appear as an option !!?? Why - because unsurprisingly , I suspect as you do in the matter !

Tan will not even consider compromise with the current " yes boss , no boss , three shades of red boss " attitude prevalent in some fans ! There is no recipe for success here as I see it , but by the efforts of BLUEBIRDS UNITE and individual fans / groups voicing concerns over the rebrand - a rebrand far from finished in my opinion , we might just enjoy that success without selling our souls !

TAN OUT !

If you want your blue kit back just stop buying the red one,they will soon want to get the fans back on line when they start to lose money.

Sven, redordead et al

You have completely missed a big picture here, and that is dignity.
Proper begging bowl welsh you appear. (Where is my grant money)

If someone saved my mortgage and kept my roof. It would be amazing although I would want to know their conditions and be willing to meet on conditions where appropriate.
But that certainly doesn't enslave me to anything they wish to do after the fact.

He is a dictator by actions and is treating the dynamic of his new business (The existing fans) with contempt.

We role over like a puppy and have our belly tickled.
And by doing this we have shown no backbone and will not earn respect from him or anyone.

He has been here a couple of seasons and has split fans and many will not return.
A massive thanks for the investment Although decisions since have been contentious to say the least. If Tan or anyone wanted a drastic change a compromise through dialogue would be agreed by the majority of fans who understand that football is now a business.

He and others think going red with a dragon badge is good although how Will this affect us Should we do a Wolves?????
How many will be with him then?

If we gratiously accept a drastic change of our history to new colour and new badge -without consultation What next?

Will he want to move stadium to bristol? or Dublin with Sam?
It is his club after all.....

Bollox it is

Now wake up and see the picture boys.

Its you who can't see the bigger picture,your selfish attitude i.e blue at any cost is ridiculous.Look how far we've come since Tan saved us.rebranding aside he's the best thing to happen to City for a long time as I'm sure you'll agree,and you go on about dignity,well dignity whoever he is isn't paying the bills Tan is.I think we all want the blue back but that's going to be a marathon not a sprint, so for now lets just enjoy being in the premier league,a place where we wouldn't be if were not for Tan.

Why some fans voted Black shorts over White shorts is beyond me.

Contempt?? :? :o

What about the contempt you and others are showing him after he ploughed £100m to clear historical (and traditional :lol: ) debt and took us to The Premier League :oops:

Seems to me that you lack far more words than 'compromise' and they appear to include words such as 'appreciation, gratitude, understanding (of our position before he came in) and flexibility ;)

You might argue in return that he (VT) lacks similar wording too but I would respond to that by simply asking "What would you genuinely do if you ploughed that money in and believed you could benefit financially in the money markets by being seen in a colour that (and it may be alien to us) is deemed 'lucky' and therefore 'marketable'? :?:

One or two on here appear to believe I am anti-blue. That is NOT the case. However, I am a realist and I can see where Tan is coming from even if I don't particularly want it to happen. It is called 'progression' and it is something OUR club has needed for many years. To my mind, if the price of progress is a change of shirt colour in order to gain from foreign investment then that, I admit, is fine by me

I would, however, fully support either of both the following:

1: Blue shorts (and maybe piping on the shirt) plus

2: A return of the Bluebird as a mainstay of the badge

Either (or preferably both) of these would be a VERY GOOD compromise from Tan and would show he is interested in what fans want whilst keeping his Far Eastern (red) plans intact ;)

But what I cannot support is a disgruntled group of maverick fans that don't have the 'future' interests of Cardiff City FC at heart and appear intent on alienating the very person (like him or loathe him) that has delivered on the dream; albeit in a slightly uncomfortable way ;) :ayatollah:


so if tan came in and give yr black and white spaniel a life saving operation you could nt a ford and you were
massivley grateful would u still feel the same if he then said i wanna give him floppy ears and color him dark
brown would you be an ungrateful c**t if you said 'not happy'

if tan gave you the gift of life when you were at deaths door but said all i want in return is for you to change your blue eyes red would you turn him down?


My dog analogy werent the best my fault, i dont care a f**k about dogs so try this clever arse: your vintage rolls royce
that you have had for years is goin to be repossessed some geezer comes in says dont worry il buy it and itl still be like
yours i wont move it you can still go sit in it and drive it now and then. but after he buys it he paints it red instead of
the blue colour you had waxed and polished for years AND changes the RR spirit of esctacy badge for a Skoda one. still happy?

A rolls even with a skoda badge is better than nothing.
