However, that is only a sub plot to this particular farce. tan was the worst thing that has ever happened to this club. No one can ever convince me otherwise.

His 'passion' for the club was shown by the fact he only turned up to one match all season. He only reversed the appalling rebrand because of our pressure and commercial disaster. The sooner we get serious fan ownership, the better.

I'm not talking about red or dead mate ages before the red when we were in court with debts we couldn't pay facing being wound up. When you were waving Malaysian flags at Coventry wasn't it as you realised the severity of our finances.

He is right here though mate Tan did save us from liquidation. The initial 3 million (not rebrand) saved us from a very uncomfortable time. We had no income to rely on. Riddler had screwed us.

I would have rather have gone through and started lower down the leagues than that f*cking awful premier league season and everything that has followed and I don't expect you to understand that because you don't go. Anyone pro Tan is anti cardiff city in my eyes

Don't go now but did go. Got the bug in 1992 and went home and away regularly until I joined the RAF in 2001 then went less regularly until the season of the FA cup final. We may not have been allowed to start lower down.

Still don't understand why you don't go, I go less regularly as I'm in the raf too but still show my support - when I can home and away. but it's obvious our take on tan and cardiff city in general is quite different!
We could debate all night but the way I see it if i was eating from your hypothetical mcdonalds and it went down the shitter after a new owner come in; started to dish out plane boring burgers, employing idiots and came out talking to me like I was an expendable customer guess who I'd blame? Not the spotty fucker on the till...

i also believe the appalling fall in in the standard of football in 12 months plus the unbelievable appointment of the current manager has compounded the issue

Saying you'll forgive and forget is one thing. Its easy. Doing it is harder. Sorry but I can't. Tan needs to leave. He is a parasite.

The championship winning season was the last time I went. I didn't watch us live the whole time we were in the premiership. I work shift so get very few Saturday's off. It just happened. I haven't enjoyed it as much since moving to the CCS and I was put off by the whole FA Cup tickets shebang. That was pre Tan.
It is no doubt that Tan upset many with the rebrand. However in the grand scheme it was a small number as proven by the protests and they became greater when the product on the pitch deteriorated. We were all happy in red under Tan when beating Man City and you could not say we were lacking passion that day.
I personally think that it has a lot to do with the highs we achieved in getting to the premiership. Think about it. If you eat McDonald's your whole life, you are used to that. There might be the odd special burger they bring out that you enjoy but it's still McDonald's. If you then get a taste of premium steak for a bit if and when you go back to McDonald's you don't like it anymore. Now people don't want McDonald's they are using any excuse to not eat it. Tan is an easy target as is Slade.
The football is apparently dull. But, we have been there before with much worse players and standard of football. Of course they were the days when the crowds were only 2000 to 3000. The crowds picked up when we had a bit of success. If you like, when McDonald's had their special burgers on. That's why I think 4000 season tickets is probably about right. Those that have abandoned the club have every right to do so. However they should be truthful and say it's because they can't be arsed with the championship after the year in the premiership. It's not a shameful thing it's human nature. However to blame Tan for ripping the soul out of the club after the shit times we have faced is ridiculous. Especially as he's being hands off and criticised for this.
I await any replies actually explaining why rather than just he has.
nothing to do with championship,lets be honest after a few big names in prem the other 15 teams are no more than us.yep,i cheereed and felt good when we beat man city but that was a distraction from how many already felt.Last season and this i have felt nothing more than an inconvenience that cardiff city the company have to put up with...i feel like the slice of gurkin in the BIG MAC that no one really likes but put up with it...well ive had enough...

Sadly, Neil, 'blueminati' doesn't want to see the truth, as it doesn't suit his anti-club (and I mean club) agenda!
He is using Tan as a tool, like many others on here and cannot separate facts from fiction!
