We're not a joke club though. we have a joker as owner, true. We were a joke club when barely 2000 would turn up and our 'executive boxes' were a pile of breeze blocks left untouched for a decade at the back of a stand. I'd argue that the media coverage has actually reflected the club in a good light in terms of status, standing, support, and the manager - it's just Tan they're having a go at. Anyway, as you say we all have a range of views, all the better for that.

The days you refer to we were in the lower leagues, we are now in what is described as the best league in the world and as a club should act accordingly.
Dress it up any way you want, for a premier league club to behave like this is a joke !!

You think executive boxes make a club serious and respectab;e? Atitudes like this have made CCFC the empty vessel I alluded to. Tan and far too many of the red brigade have ruined a proud and passionate culture that once formed solid foundations for something that really did resemble a proper football club. You can all keep it, but deep down you know it's shit.

I love Cardiff City. My first job was selling programmes at the club when I was a fifteen-year-old boy. I now live in China and only get to see games at Christmas when I come home, so what I am about to propose will really hurt me but I think it’s the only thing that we can do.

This is the best time in the history of the club to be a Cardiff fan yet we are being mocked far and wide. Mr. Tan must understand that we are extremely grateful for his investment in both the club and in our community. However, we also need him to understand our collective frustration. As we have seen with many clubs who’ve gone bankrupt or had to take on massive debts at the expense of new owners, songs, scarves, message board comments and even protests achieve nothing.

I therefore propose that every Cardiff fan foregoes their ticket on Boxing Day. A stadium with only away fans will make a united statement that will resonate around the world.

I understand that some people will fear that there is no way of being sure who, come the day will join me in my absence. To make things fair, I propose that unless we get 10,000 names and emails on the below document, we all attend and resign ourselves to what may come. If however, we can get 10,000 Bluebirds to pledge to being united in our absence then let’s carry out our inaction and send a message to the world.

If we succeed, I suggest that we carry on not attending until Mr. Tan states his public support for probably the greatest manager our club has even known.

I love my club, as I’m sure you do too. Only together can we save it.

I'm not trying to be difficult it's a genuine question

Not very long ago the alternative would have been the club going bust, but now Tan is into the club for too much money to just walk away, so hopefully the alternative is for him to sell. As long as we stay up the club will still be an attractive business for someone, we just have to hope they're better than Tan.
