He made a mistake. who hasn't. the story is that he was lied to by his underlings and I don't think it's up for us to say "that's definitely not true" unless we have proof of that.
either way. yes, he made a mistake, he put it right. It is the grown up thing to do to show your respect and if not thanking him form "making us blue" (as it was his change in the first place) then thanking him for realising his mistake and rectifying it...
he has enough money to make us suffer if he really wanted to. He did the grown up thing and sucked up his ego and pride and went back on what he said.
Time for us to suck up our ego and pride as well, and try and move on.
Haven't those among us who frantically took part in the communal sucking of his cock when the 'red or dead' thing came out learned your lessons? Ffs have a bit of pride in yourself!

What do mean by 'get him to make a push towards debt for equity'?
He's said he will, and shouldn't need an ego-boosting chant in order to make it official.

Absolutely no chance from me. Some of us might be happy to worship Tan as a hero now, but I will personally not forgive Tan so easily for the torture he has put me through. People like Dalman and Choo are the proper heroes for getting that egotistical dictator to eventually see sense and undo the damage he caused to our club for the past 2 and a half seasons.
Well you could look at it a different way. If you truly believe he took us for a ride, why not reverse the process and suck up to him in order to take as much of his fortune as you can to make our team and club better.
Can't you even see it from that angle.
If anyone hasn't learnt a lesson from all of this, its posters that still think they can gain anything for Cardiff City by continuing with the negativity towards Tan.
But I'm not going to be negative to Tan. I'm not going to boo him or sing anti Tan songs now we're back in blue. All I said in my post was I will still refuse to cheer for him. The OP's suggestion of singing a song to glorify Tan wrecking our club for the past 2 and a half seasons and then correcting his mistake is absolutely ridiculous imo. It certainly doesn't make him a hero in my eyes anyway.

You have to view all his reticence against the backdrop of mass insults. Think back to some of the things that were suggested and even carried out; songs, name calling, writing to newspapers here and in his own country, writing to the clubs sponsors, boycotts, refusing merchandise and generally being nasty to him in every way possible.
I'll ask the question again.......
What would you have done. I bet you wouldn't have carried on investing in the club and team like he did.
Looking back now my thoughts are thank god he didn't give up on us like most owners would have done. We'd be blue now and sunk.

So singing a song to say "you're one of us now. We're moving forward" is sycophantic? Letting him know we are willing to move forward as one is "communal sucking of his cock"?
I DO have pride in myself. My pride stems from the fact that I know I can forgive and move on, instead of acting like a petulant child as some are on here.
Was it Tan spouting red or dead? or did Tan simply say "it's red or I put my money elsewhere"?

Do you really feel that he is 'one of us'? Seriously?
He's a businessman who decided to 'invest' in our club ( though there has been NO investment, in the same way SH didn't actually 'invest' anything over and above his initial 2.5 million input). To gain respect you must first give respect. Tan showed nothing but disrespect to our support, though at least he's reversed his earlier stupid decision to rebrand us!

He is the owner. Like it or hate it, that's a fact. He IS a businessman, of course he is, nobody is denying that.
You say "To gain respect you must first give respect" surely that works both ways??!

You are evidently driven by a pro Tan agenda. If memory serves me, he received all sorts of negativity when he announced the rebrand, one or two shithouses thought they'd issue racist threats, which was disgusting and rightly investigated by the police. But your pathetic attempt to tar everyone who hated the rebrand with the same brush as that is disposable.
When tan first came to cardiff he was met with Malaysian flags and overwhelming friendliness, in case you forgot

It wasn't just one or two though... there were a number, on here, over social media, everywhere. Not everybody (nd I never said everybody, so I don't know where you go that from)
I do remember that we welcomed him with malaysian flags, but as is so often the case the few spoiled things for the lot of us.
If everybody had acted with a calm head instead of those who decided to go down the wrong path, he may have seen sense earlier.
I'm not saying Tan is blameless. He shouldn't have changed our colours, and he should have listened and seen what it meant to us... but to say I'm pro Tan just because I would prefer for our club to heal itself and move on seems a little absurd to me. Just because I'm not saying how much of a wanker I think he is or that I want him out doesn't mean I'm taking part on ay communal cock sucking. I can just see that what our club needs right now is to heal itself, instead of keeping up this split between fans and owner.

Get a grip on what? All I've been saying is that we need to move forward as one instead of continuing to try and ostracize the owner.
I'm not saying we need to be singing "Tan is a legend" or anything similar, but we need to show him (and the rest of the bloody world) that we're not children and that we can suck it up and move on.
