TAN PULLS OUT OF TRUST/SUPPORTERS CLUB MEETING

Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust tonight expressed its dismay that a scheduled meeting tomorrow involving owner Vincent Tan and the Trust and Cardiff City Supporters’ Club has been called off.

Chairman Tim Hartley said: “We are very disappointed that this meeting has been postponed at a time of great instability at the club. We’ve been told that Mr Tan will meet the Trust when the new manager is appointed and we now look forward to that meeting.

“Given the recent off the field debacle, we believe it is more important than ever that Mr Tan engages with supporter groups and the fans generally. This meeting provided Mr Tan with an immediate opportunity to start building bridges with fans and that opportunity has been missed.

“There are many questions the fans still want answered, around corporate governance and transparency, the club’s financial future and the rebranding. We will put these to Mr Tan at our rearranged meeting which needs to be held as soon as possible.”

For the second time, The Trust refused to back our protests once again against Tan as he had promised them tea and biscuits. Sorry but Tan has played u like fools like he did last Summer, regarding the Rebrand.

Tan disrespects supporters by not keeping to their pre arranged meeting -
the same meeting the trust had to pre write down there questions -to give tan plenty of time in advance to answer - which ever ones he so wished too answer at meeting
but it seems he has better things to do like finding space in the stadium for further free Malaysian adverts than explaining the past happenings and the future of our club or sorry his club !

not sticking up for Tan here, but i think it makes more sence to meet the trust when the new manager is in place.

Why's that then?

because appionting a new manager is his priority right now..... and if im correct the questions for Tan were pre-agreed with no deviations, im guessing Malky would have been in some of those questions ??

WRONG.... in his own words that's slimeball Mehmet and Lim job.

Regards the pre arranged questions, then they already answered.

I doubt the billionaire businessman wanted to meet them pen pushing plums and this gave perfect excuse.

Yeh dream on do you honestly think he would leave the hiring to them, without getting involved ?

Me dream on ??? your the numpty thinking them plums you have as a trust could make a difference

f**k me what does it take for you to wake up and smell the coffee.

i will spell it out for you .

YOUR CLUB YOU KNOW AS CARDIFF CITY IS WELL AND TRUELY FUCKED. ITS NOW A FULL BLOWN MALAYSIAN FRANCHISE

Why tery to insult me ? i was just giving my opinion. Did i say the trust would make a difference????????????

i wasn't insulting you personally, I apolgise if it came across that way. you stated i was " dreaming"

Im not trying to argue with you but dreaming is hardly insulting is it ? im not trying to say the trust will make any difference , i dont even know who are on the trust , Is Corky on there as he's a real good guy . My point is, no point in meeting up when most of the questions were probably about Malky and getting a new manager in is the main thing right now is'nt it ?

to be honest that post makes things a lot clearer.

The trust is run by a few pen pushing plums with no spunk. Corky started it off with good intention but no longer.

If the plums were going to bang on about questions thinking they could be involved in management choices then they were full on ripe plums.

The reality is fella , a small minority group, tied up in red tape with a very small membership and so far have achieved very little.

to Tanpon its rather like a bit of sand grit in your shoe.

I don't care if Tan didn't meet the trust or whoever because i'd rather him be putting the time into getting a new manager in to be honest.

not sticking up for Tan here, but i think it makes more sence to meet the trust when the new manager is in place.

I agree

Totally! If he is sorting out a new manager then I'd much rather him spend his time doing that

I agree

Seconded.

Whys that then Magners and dont go changing your tune this time !

Blue, Red, Blue, Tan In, Tan Out more U turns than a F1 car

I change my mind when I want.

I try, but don't always do that good a job

Have any of you ever wondered why we were such ripe fruit for someone like Tan? Our fan base is an absolute joke. Even on things we agree on we can't agree!
We have so many factions in our fan base and so many people who want to feel important, it clouds everyone's views on everything. For what it's worth, I don't think the trust were left with any choice but to boycott the protest having been given guarantees off tan that he would meet them. Actually meeting Tan would surely be more constructive than standing outside the stadium singing a few songs!
Tan has once again let them down and been dishonoured his own word. If Tan has got pressing matters that have caused him to call off the meeting then he should rearrange the meeting for the soonest date possible. (Again though I won't hold my breath)

Agree with the above but the meeting was cancelled until the new manager is in place

if that is true Steve then I don't know what the fuss is about as long as he doesn't find a new excuse after that!

Of course it's impotant that he starts proper dialogue with fans and the trust is probably the best place to start, but it is understandable that he can't see them tomorrow, as he has a new Manager to appoint and future plans to thrash out.

It's not just a case of picking a name out, it's trying to build a good rapport and set out a business plan with the new Manager for the rest of this season on and of course the many seasons beyond. It is vitality important they get this right and get off to a positive start, the trust should understand he would have to cancel it,following today's events.

This decision is massive, they really need to get it right !!!

Never let the truth stand in the way of a good old agenda

No point in a meeting with the trust at the moment,to much going on.
I'm sure once things settle down the trust will have their meeting,i heard Hartleys relieved he's been shitting himself since the meeting was announced.

More important things to do

if the figure being quoted is correct. 300 families, 700 people in total, those figures are who the trust represent. how important is this meeting?....i do agree totally about factions,and we deffo have way too many people on ego trips.
and there you have the problem... if you were tan who is worth talking too?

No supprise there really. Some even clung on to the hope he would turn up trying to defend tan on here over what went on with malky , yet this makes them look clowns now, when in truth all of us knew he wouldn't show like every other time over the last two years odd of arranged meetings with the trust.

This constitutes a breach of Trust in my opinion. I really have formed the wrong opinion of the formerly nice. cuddly Mr Sugar Daddy Tan

That's why I wont put a bean into the trust - they have no say or power

The trust are toothless, end of

i think tan looks at the trust. and like most city fans is, who are they and what do they do

Spineless f*cking c**t, meet the trust and give us f*cking answers and f*cking truth you high trousered Malaysian c**t!!

Why doesn't everyone join the trust? Then you would run the thing not the people you Slag off. Join up. Vote to reduce membership charge. Have an official voice. Make a difference. I'm not a member by the way. I'm in the People's Front of Judeah.

You can't blame him on that front why waste time on that small minority , less than 1 percent of the fan base even after what 4 years of set up ?

Couldn't get a hard on with a Viagra pill that set of plums.

Totally agree, but at least they are trying, and I beg the question why are supporters reluctant to join the trust ? this club needs a untied fan base because at the moment Tan is getting his way by dividing and conquering, the fans must get to the point that unity is strength

I agree. A strong trust wow be great. I just wish there was less fans politics. It would be pretty easy to make the trust represent the majority of fans if the majority of fans joined the trust. Simple. It should be just a quid to join though.

Maybe they can have a January sale/introductory offer, with a 4 year price freeze
