With respect, Lee, the problem with posts from perennial anti-Tan-at-all-cost posters like yourself, is that there is no balancing of the good, bad and indifferent from both parties
Sam was no saint but (as I discussed this morning) but he was undoubtedly the best thing to happen to this club for many a year and almost pulled it off
Equally, Vincent Tan was (via TG) the man who was there for us after the event and no matter what his faults, you simply have to have an (even grudging) appreciation of that
For me, it would add substantial weight to your currently one-eyed views that sometimes make you out to be intransigent, which I know you are not

Chris I lived couple hundred yards from plough lane when sam was there and whilst he had his followers like here there was plenty who hated the circus surrounding him...... and subsequent events kind of epitomizes the view here? Fans Loved the success but left a sour taste in mouth over their ground ....we musnt forget he borrowed money for ccfc from Langston who is his own company...... and subsequently is suing club for that money..... do people actually want a person like that back at our club? Want tan gone but can anyone blame tan for not selling club to a person with dubious history?

Allan, I appreciate all that and state 'Sam was no saint' and 'Sam would probably admit...'
My point is that no one is all good and/or all bad (Sam, Tan or anyone)
Lee is consistent but flawed in his approach and I refer to the Ryan Reynolds thread he created as evidence of the desperate lengths he would seemingly go to trash Vincent Tan 'at all costs'
It's easy to criticise Vincent Tan for all the mistakes and problems he has created but there simply has to be a balance between the polar ends of truth and making the crime(s) fit
I'm a Sam fan. As a long-standing supporter before his arrival, I was party to and accepting of his time at our club. In essence, like thousands of others, I was part of his 'Bluebird Revolution'
I accepted it, I embraced it, I was gutted when it ultimately fell apart. I met Sam on a number of occasions and found him to be very personable. He certainly knew how to say the right things and build a very good rapport
My issue here is simply to highlight a negative agenda that seemingly shows no boundaries in its determination to pant the blackest picture
The simple truth will usually suffice but (as with others on here on many subjects) making it up to suit the agenda is simply not on and I'm consistent in that assertion
It's a shame, as it takes away from the real debate

I accept I have sometimes one eyed views, and accept that I am anti Tan at all costs.
It's interesting, that we all wonder how someone can have a different viewpoint to our own when we feel so strongly about something. I 100% accept as much as I support one and loathe the other that there are those who think the opposite with equal tenacity as me. If it's good for me it's good for them, and that is fair for all.
I knew what I enjoyed once upon a time at the club, and I now feel so disheartened I'll lash out at those who I feel COULD change it but don't.
It will massively surprise you that for a number of years when Tan took over I was a big fan of his. He started to lose my support when, in my opinion, he didn't approach either Premiership year in a manner that was required. It suddenly became his project that he would lead, and he wouldn't let anyone else make any decisions. For a foreign Businessman with no knowledge of top flight football this frightened me.
There is TALK of meddling, nothing ever confirmed. If you really want to know I think Tan got TOO involved and tried to use the club as his toy. The Red seasons prove this. He had too much influence in the end over signings,possibly tactics too.
I mean even Dalman himself said a few days ago that Tan has the final say over tactics!!!!
By the way.

.I had to look up the word intransigent!

Allan loved Tan even during tearing our identity to pieces and our pride etc etc etc
Sam did none of this and took us on when we were noting and made us feel proud again![]()
Sam made mistakes , he is a human being , but Sam only did good for our club and still loved us and if Tan was not so pig ignorant we could have Sam on board and be going places again with Our Souls believing again .
Our stadium would be bouncing again![]()
But Allan will love Dictators and for me Allan is and I will say absolutely clueless and I never saw Allan before the Sam days so yes he is more than clueless, had no idea his bad the old days were.

Yes as he is Suing due to Tan writing up a new agreement and personally signing it, sadly on behalf of our club.
Sealed by the High Courts.
If you had a signed agreement and money / something was owed to to you, answer straight Allan would you not pursue it?
I can tell you 100% I would and Tan would and 99.9% of the world would.
ALLAN NEVER ANSWERS MINE?? / JUST DOES HIS QUICK POSTS WITH NO FACTS / ALWAYS THE OPPOSITE / AND NEVER HONEST.
