MY VIEW: "IF I WAS VINCENT TAN"

Nicely put Annis and it would be great if he did back NW however whilst I was reading this there was only one sentence going through my mind.

"I hate your guts and I will never forgive you and will rejoice when your gone but get your feckin money out anyway."

Not the opinion your looking for I guess but when you hold these views its hard to believe any genuine objectivity in the above.

No I am not a Tan fan and never will be, but I am always honest about everything I write.
You have to look it in an honest way

Martin, I am looking at it in two ways, Business for Vincent Tan & Success for Cardiff City

As if Tan will take notice of any fan regarding running his businesses.

Tan main objective is to get as much return as he can from Cardiff City FC. So far he has made a right cock up of it but at least he is appearing to be sorting it out. Tan comes over as one of those business men who wants it his own way so listens to no one until it gets so bad he has to listen. The rebrand and selection of managers is proof of that.

Anyway back to the subject. I'm not a fan of the January window being an opportunity for clubs of our status to improve things. History has shown that and I'm struggling to think who made a huge impact on us over the last decade thanks to the window. Frazer Campbell comes to mind but he was a gamble and the price of £300k was why we gave him a go. Anyone out there of any interest will cost a bomb in January of which Tan will be very reluctant to open the purses. Our best bet will be the knowledge of Warnock finding someone to see us through on the cheap and that will not be easy.

I agree with this. Hugely inflated prices will mean if we sign anyone it will be another cheap/free or possibly a loan signing.

MY VIEW: "IF I WAS VINCENT TAN"

Remember it's just my view as a football fan



IF I WAS VINCENT TAN : On 2nd January after the QPR game more than half the season is gone and the transfer window re-opens... If (and only if) on that date we are still "IN THE MIX" I would back Warnock, who I trust, and open the floodgates financially - ONE LAST TIME - in order to have my best and final shot at the Premiere League.... "IN THE MIX" means that we have more than 50% chance of promotion...

For this reason I will commit myself to Warnock RIGHT NOW that come 31st October after the Ipswich game (when a third of the season is gone) and IF we are IN THE MIX - to start preparing and identifying the players we need when the transfer window re-opens.... The magic word is "IN THE MIX". End October we prepare and early January we act !!

Will we be up to this challage? Or will it be the beginning of the end of the Tan era?







My reason for taking this chance is because I have invested a massive amount of money in the club and have no intention of investing more.

So- if we don't get promoted this season I know that my investment may be in danger - because I will face one of 3 choices , the sweetest of which will be very bitter :

(1) I will again back Warnock financially. This I will not do because the cost of running the club - which is already losing a lot- will become prohivitive now that the parachute payments are finished.

(2) I will sell the club. This means a massive write-off as the absolute maximum I will get is £30 million


(3) I will sell our best players , to balance the books. This would mean that our our immediate promotion future is written off.




Now how do we identify the 50% chance of promotion ? .... The answer is that this will only be done on 2nd January 2018.

However, just by way of example.... If on Jan 2nd we are where we are now (or thereabouts) then: .... (a) we will have a 33% chance of automatic promotion being 1 of 6 clubs vying for the 2 automatic spots...(b)otherwise we will have an 80% chance for making the play-offs but then we will only have a quarter of that for promotion - meaning 20%.... (c) add the two together we have 53% chance of promotion.

This means 'go for it' !.... Naturally the possibility of getting promoted with no investment and without being IN THE MIX is also there.... Anxious and expectant times for us fans and for Tan!! What do you think?





Opinions

Annis nothing 100% clear on my end but sounds like you're on the nose. NW had a budget for the summer and will have another in Jan, the size of which depends on our league position.

Cheers Thomas, just giving my opinion and options open to Vincent Tan

I think he'll back NW, I don't like Tan much either. I'd like to move on but it's tough. I do feel like the board and Tan trust Warnock enough and will back him
