only now reading this topic and would have to back Dalman all the way on this issue. The large majority of our fans only watch our home games, although we've had some improved results away from home, the football witnessed at the CCS has been diabolical. Let's hope Dalman can talk some sense in to Tan to remove this joker.

I believe he has,but I dont believe the fans should here all this from our chairman whilst Slade is below managing our team





Annis, correct me if I am wrong, but haven't similar words been attributed to Mehmet Dalman in the recent past??

I seem to recall that he was allegedly critical of Slade around Christmas??

You know my feelings. Slade 100% out for me! He cannot take this club (not owner) where it wants/needs to be!

I don't blame him (Slade) for 'hanging on in there' for the money he is on, but if Dalman is really convinced he isn't the man for Cardiff City, then get the Forest game over and cut him loose!

He won't exactly walk away a pauper and he'll have a great club to put on his CV in readiness for his next job! :thumbup:



Chris, I believe so and I have been told this before.

I am with you all the way,Slade could help ruin our club.





Thanks, Annis :thumbup:

Sadly, you're right and I think he must have as big an ego as Tan if he genuinely believes his own hype! :oops:

He probably shouldn't have said that today, but he's the one of the only people in the club I have time for.

Whenever I've met him, he's been completely honest and doesn't feed bullshit like most of them.



I agree.

Without Dalman we would have been more royally screwed.

I am amazed he's sticking it out and is one of the only people at the club I have any respect for other than the long-suffering ground and admin staff,

he's sticking it out as he has millions of his own money invested also word on the street is that he has been trying to get finances together to buy more in to the club

Anis i presume slade and tan are aware of these comments? And that means dalman or slades position are untenable so one as to go surely? :shock:


Slade will go once this season is done, he will be paid off thanked and be told to say the right thing. :thumbup:

His background is banking and finance Ian he once owned 20% of the shares of Manchester United.he is tied up with other ventures with tan.
The day we got relegated from the premier he told tan to change us back to blue so he obviously has more of an idea about the fan base than the dictator.
Can't really see why he still stays at the club though unless he is trying to find a way out for tan

Warburton would be an absolutely perfect choice, given where we now are and what we now need to do - and to what he can deliver 'on a budget'. Ticks all the boxes and available in the summer.

Some very good insights on Warburton and Slade in the very fine tome which is entitled 'The Nowhere Men' and which is a must read for any football fan. Read it and weep. :o http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Nowhere-Men ... 1780891075

Cheers Steve,

It is coming over that his relationship with Tan goes a long way back and it would not surprise me if he is looking for a way out for Tan. I just get the impression if he finds someone or a group to end Tans nightmare he could end up staying himself to pull the strings.

As at 31 May 2014 Mehmet Dalman had put £7.5m into the club by way of unsecured loans through a company (Torman Finance Inc) in which he is a director. It`s not a question of being ITK either , as it was disclosed in the published accounts

Cheers Keith, Steve and I stand totally corrected :thumbright: :thumbright:

It means Dalman is a man of his word, he told me he was investing in City and he has :thumbright: :thumbright:

Keith, Is it converted in to shares or has he lent us the money at 8% interest?

Now all he has to do is get rid of Slade :lol:
