Put simply Annis Tan has used the money to run the football club. Even after all those payments from Sky etc. he has still had to dip into his own pocket to keep us afloat, including £15m to settle Langston debts and more millions to pay off the mess Ridsdale left behind.
You muddy the waters well but when all the smoke and mirrors are taken away the club accounts prove beyond doubt that VT has put 10's of millions of pounds into this club. He certainly hasn't taken money out which was the standard practise before he arrived (e.g. Riddler/PMG)
Tan is guilty of a stupid mistake with the rebrand he is also guilty of wasting millions of pounds on bad deals. However, he has taken full responsibility for that and will have fully paid the tab when we become debt free.
I think he has the best interests of the club at heart and when you compare him to say Coventry's owners then we should be thankful if a little annoyed that things could have been oh so much better.

I have noticed that it tends to be the same people who sing Tan's praises who predicted us to be getting automatic promotion this season, who thought Trollope was the man do do that, and who thought Lambert would get the goals to fire us to the Premier League. Some people will see absolutely no wrong with Tan, while some will never see him as anything other than bad. I have read on here that Tan is a man of his word, and an honorable man, and he may well be. That is why some are convinced that he will leave this club entirely debt free. If he is a man of his word, why do people think we can get automatic promotion next season when he made it clear that he would not make money available if we went back to blue. Surely you can't just believe Mr Tan when he says something we like, but ignore anything he says that we don't like. I am keeping an open mind, and even though I stopped going when we played in red, am not a person to hold a grudge. I will wait and see what happens because I have heard plenty of similar things said in the past which turned out to be nothing more than a public relations excercise.

Nobody can question your support for CCFC Annis as your record speaks for itself. However, many can question your motives and whether you are overreacting when it comes to Tan. Your claim he is a 'dictator' doesn't hold up to scrutiny as he gave a choice on the rebrand (admittedly not a good one) but a choice altogether. He also reversed that decision.
Also I think it is reasonable to state that someone who puts in over £100m has got the right to some say on how it is spent, whether wisely or not.
Universally it is now agreed that the rebrand was a terrible idea but Tan has paid for that out of his own pocket, he hasn't run off and hid like the former owners of other clubs like Portsmouth have.
Personally I think some of the things you say are spot on. We have had too many bad deals over the past few years and that needs to be addressed. Also we need more investment into the academy so we produce our own rather than pay a fortune to hirer scrap car versions of players like Lambert.
That said you lose it when you start talking about despising Tan. He is far from the worst owner we have had and is light years better than the last lot Riddler/PMG who milked this club for everything they could grab. I understand you have fallen out with former friends over the rebrand, but your inability to bridge those disputes are a failing on your/their part and not the fault of Tan, who is simply being used as an excuse to dump the blame on.

I know I over react sometimes about Tan and despise is prob over the top.
I do it because a certain few arselick Tan and never admit Tan has made loads of awful decisions.
Yes Tan put money in to our club, but at a cost to our pride/passion and identity which is what your club is about. He has also continued for 7 years making costly mistakes and a few on here never are honest enough to acknowledge this.
After over 7 years, we are in the mess because of how Tan has himself run our club and that is the truth.
Hopefully we are finally moving forward on and of the pitch![]()

Anyone that doesn't believe Tan has made huge mistakes since he has been here needs helpI think most people could make a pretty long list of mistakes but then he has also done good things for the club. Some people look for any reason or anything to twist to have a dig at Tan which isn't helpful for the club in my opinoon.
Yes Tan is paying for the mess he made but also remember he has paid for the mess of previous owners ie Ridsdale and "Langston".
Plenty of positivity feeling around the club at the moment I don't think we need to look for negatives just to have a go at Tan.

So if we don't bow to dictators and his followers we are not City fans, what a pathetic bunch of glory hunters some so called fans are and the ones like yourself def are.
Every Cardiff City fan should be able to express their opinion/belief about players/managers/owners![]()

Nobody can question your support for CCFC Annis as your record speaks for itself. However, many can question your motives and whether you are overreacting when it comes to Tan. Your claim he is a 'dictator' doesn't hold up to scrutiny as he gave a choice on the rebrand (admittedly not a good one) but a choice altogether. He also reversed that decision.
Also I think it is reasonable to state that someone who puts in over £100m has got the right to some say on how it is spent, whether wisely or not.
Universally it is now agreed that the rebrand was a terrible idea but Tan has paid for that out of his own pocket, he hasn't run off and hid like the former owners of other clubs like Portsmouth have.
Personally I think some of the things you say are spot on. We have had too many bad deals over the past few years and that needs to be addressed. Also we need more investment into the academy so we produce our own rather than pay a fortune to hirer scrap car versions of players like Lambert.
That said you lose it when you start talking about despising Tan. He is far from the worst owner we have had and is light years better than the last lot Riddler/PMG who milked this club for everything they could grab. I understand you have fallen out with former friends over the rebrand, but your inability to bridge those disputes are a failing on your/their part and not the fault of Tan, who is simply being used as an excuse to dump the blame on.
Thanks Tony![]()
I know I over react sometimes about Tan and despise is prob over the top.
I do it because a certain few arselick Tan and never admit Tan has made loads of awful decisions.
Yes Tan put money in to our club, but at a cost to our pride/passion and identity which is what your club is about. He has also continued for 7 years making costly mistakes and a few on here never are honest enough to acknowledge this.
After over 7 years, we are in the mess because of how Tan has himself run our club and that is the truth.
Hopefully we are finally moving forward on and of the pitch![]()

Anyone that doesn't believe Tan has made huge mistakes since he has been here needs helpI think most people could make a pretty long list of mistakes but then he has also done good things for the club. Some people look for any reason or anything to twist to have a dig at Tan which isn't helpful for the club in my opinoon.
Yes Tan is paying for the mess he made but also remember he has paid for the mess of previous owners ie Ridsdale and "Langston".
Plenty of positivity feeling around the club at the moment I don't think we need to look for negatives just to have a go at Tan.
Im going to get a private Doctor for Wez
