FAO 'The Tan out' brigade

Still doesn't change what I think about him though

VT: Ask me if I care?

Yes, he does

The face of disappointment

Are you not happy that Tan Saved our club, so fans like you and me can go to watch week in week out

Where did you get that idea?

He is a controversial figure, and a businessman at the end of the day. The rebranding does rankle with me still, but this is a commendable move.

Jon just stop being a pr*ck and just give him credit for the promises he stuck to so far. You don't have to change your opinion.

f**k off, how am I being a prick? I'm just stating that it doesn't change what I think about him

So based on everything he has done, good and bad, what is your opinion of him?

Whilst the rebrand is a totally unnecessary disappointment to me, there is no doubt that Tan has done some fantastic things for this football club.

Whilst the rebrand, for me, will always cast a shadow over his tenure of the club, it can't totally cover the very good things he has done for CCFC.

Though some seem to think that CCFC are now a debt free club. This is untrue & will remain untrue until he converts the debt to shares.

As I mentioned in a thread on the weekend, this man has done more for our football club in a short space of time than anyone else in living memory, and as Walesonline have just reported, the Langston debt is about to be a thing of the past.

VT has lived up to his promises so far, and I have no doubt the debt to equity swap will be forthcoming shortly.

As passionate as you feel about the clubs colours surely there must be some part of you that sees the positive steps the Tan is taking to put our club in the most secure state it has ever been in!

As a said on the weekend, credit were its due!

Thank you very much Mr Vincent Tan

Spot on Gav,

Cheers Vince for keeping your word.

Agree with this

A sensible response from someone with strong feelings about whats gone on, respect to you Alex

That's it in a nutshell, it's just the kit colour, if that is sorted Tan will be a GOD to City fans

Gavin, I feel anyone who is ignoring all the good that Tan has done for this club is just burying their head in the sand. As I said, I'm well known for my views regarding the rebrand, but judging him JUST on one thing would be unfair on Tan.

We all have our thoughts about Tan but we should not forget what he has done for our club, once he makes up debt free the only bad point will be playing in red.

I for one will take this in my stride, debt free to me is more important than colour however I know there are many who feel differently.

I hope with the season coming closer that we can put our thought to that and Red or Blue stop this name calling (I know I've been part of that) and rejoice at what CARDIFF CITY have done in the last few years.

Just remember we are ALL Bluebirds.

I share these views, I'll never approve of the red, but most of everything else Tan has done has to be applauded, if he turns the debt to equity as promised, I take my hat off to him

Still doesn't change what I think about him though

Of course he is happy our club has been saved. Who as a fan wouldn't be happy?

Obviously Tan cares or he wouldn't of made that public attack on people who are against the rebrand.

As we have said on many hundreds of occasions, we appreciate what he has done for us in the form of saving us but the fact he threw our identity away stops a lot of our fans from appreciating him as much as we probably should...

I support the club obviously but I don't and never will support the rebrand.

If Tan doesn't change his mind about the rebrand then we can just goodbye to him as he has said "too much negativity for too long isn't good and you can find yourself a new owner" - He has saved us now, we don't have any more debt so if he doesn't back down on his rebrand then cheerio Tanio....

I wouldn't be disheartened if he was the leave. I don't want him to leave however, I want him to change us back to blue. I would love to return to the days where all fans can agree with each other but until the blue comes back then will never happen.

Great news. Thankyou very much mr tan! A man of your word, and I for one am very grateful to you, for what you have done for our club

Here, here. Take a leaf out of Chuckles book Jon.

Although I'm thankful for him sorting the debt out I still hate him for rebranding us.

I completely agree with Chuckles.

This is brilliant news.

I'm blue like the majority no doubt are, but he's put his money where his mouth is - so let's all (Blue and Red) unite behind him!

Gavin,

Tan has agreed in the deal with Langston to do the debt to equity, so it should happen very soon.

I'm sorry but what he has done is just make us a laughing stock in football. Yes, he saved us from the brink but there was absolutely no need to make us more marketable in Malaysia. And people saying he's kept his word have a different memory to me. Wasn't it about this time last year they promised that we would not play in red and we would keep the badge?

Where is that quote from Tan, im not being funny asking that, id just like to see it again, as I cant remember it all that well.

At the time Tan wanted to make us more marketable in Asia we were losing 1.2 million a month, something had to be done to stop the losses, and that was a tactic he thought to employ, someone had to get a grip on the finances and try to balance the books. You say there was 'no need to make us more marketable' thats a crazy statement IMO

Yeah he also said he'd be happy to leave if the fans couldn't accept the Red.

Good post Gavin thank you Tan for saving our club

Back in blue (with white and a bit of yellow) we will be at some point. VT has delivered on so much. When we are back in blue he could be SuperTan.

He's aiming to make us more marketable in China - that is his plan.

Top post. Should be a sticky! People can dwell and hate the reds... But hopefully they can accept the reality (playing in red) and move on (we aint going back to blue) and just support the club 100% without being negative. Time to celebrate and be positive.
