Sorry but Tan needs to go, he’s lost interest, was wanting to dodge paying for Sala and that backfired big time. Yes he took us to the Prem but he signed off on a lot of bad transfers and blames managers….. unfortunately the players can lack passion and put in a dismal display and it’s the manager who is sacrificed…. Now Tan needs to step up and accept accountability for his, Dalman and Choos poor running of our club. Accept he’s not going to get what he wants for the club and sell it for the best deal possible to somebody who will invest. Otherwise we’re going to end up back in League 2 before we know it because of all the transfer embargo rules, constant change of manager and players not wanting to come to Cardiff anymore

I agree he should sell up ,if he's not going to invest more , but the one offer on the table as I understand is for 40 million which let's be honest is low put it in prospective Derby County were sold for 80 million and Coventry with out a stadium ownership for 35 million plus taking on there debt so is there real buyers bids on the table? Was told tan wants 100 million so unless someone comes up with that then amount then he aint going anywhere .

I do think the time is right for a change.

However, whilst I take the word of those saying there are prospective buyers waiting, what we don’t know is how much they are offering.

If they’re offering £30m for example, in my eyes that’s just not realistic.

I do agree that Tan has to start thinking about this because if we do get relegated he will get a fraction of what he is looking for.

Maybe his best/final investment now is to get a rated manager in to save us from Div 1 and then assess what he can realistically expect to get for the club.

The right manager will get this squad safe in pretty short order in my view.

Just read Wez’s post.

If one of the 3 offers is £40m then that simply is a joke and therefore we’re already down to two offers !!

The Derby and Coventry figures certainly gives an idea of the ball park figures.

Exactly what we don't want to get in to is that Tan sells his shares but still the club new owners owe him the debt ie langstone situation.

Re: TAN OUT : What is clear is that it is not only the p

Tue Jan 17, 2023 9:46 am

I stand corrected Derby were sold out of administration for 22 million for the record they had 8 players on there books , and Mel Morris agreed to sell the stadium for 22 million recently writing off 59 million . So in total 44 million but that was a club in administration so sold cheap. Maybe some buyers think that will happen to cardiff but I can't see tan letting his 250 million investment going for 22 million

“ A CRISIS IN THE CAPITAL “





The fans are calling for protests to start:




Tuesday 17th January 2023


From an outside perspective, it is sheer chaos. From top to bottom, Cardiff City
    is riddled with issues and zero sense of direction or ambition whatsoever. We’ve asked the fans for their views of the club and what needs to be done to bring change.

    Travis has followed the club for all of his life. “...just an absolute mess, the club is being run by clowns. Every Cardiff fan dreading the next appointment. We’re not an attractive club for someone to manage anymore.”

    Stu says “You can go back further than that (2010). The finance of the club have been an issue for years. 2 stints in the Prem, we should be on an even footing. But we’ve pissed away millions over the years. Add in the rebrand and many more things…”

    Founder of Alternative Wales, Ryan March had plenty to say… “Cardiff has never been the sanest of clubs but the last 10 years have really taken the piss. Post-rebrand I think Tan and co have overseen a managed decline. They were lucky that Warnock hit gold and got us promoted, they didn't have the foresight to capitalise on it and build on it. They knew Warnock wasn't going to stick around forever and they should've had a plan in place as soon as he walked away, they didn't and since then they've mad bad decision after bad decision on the playing side of things. But I think their biggest crime is the apathy that they've caused across the fan base. We should be protesting at the state of the club but people have just stopped caring. People haven't come back after the pandemic, because why should they? In these difficult times, why should fans keep putting their hand in the their pocket to watch a football club that is being run by people who don't care. Why should we care when they don't? They'll put another manager in charge in the coming weeks and hope they happen upon another Warnock, or it even could be Warnock himself and hope he can replicate what he did in 2017. There's no plan, there never has been. We're treading water but sinking at the same time. And the way things are going the club is only going one way, it's just a matter of time. What a sad state of affairs.”

    Sloper Road Blues, a fan page dedicated to the city also had a lot to say about the club. “The issues surrounding the club at the moment is the lack of engagement between the club and the fans. This has been non existent for years, we have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes from the Debt we are in to their ambitions for this football club. The easy solution for this would be to hold regular open Meetings which are very easily done! Then we would have an idea of what is going on and there would be a clearer picture of the whole situation! But the board don’t want any sort of communication it seems. Some more issues surrounding the club are the lack of football brain on the board, year after year we are either recycling assistant managers or hiring managers for cheap! We want a long term project!…Well we thought we was going to get a long term project when Morison was appointed manager and overhauled the squad massively in the summer, The board let him sign 17 players then sacking him 11 games later…Where’s the sense in that? Players take time to gel. We’ve asked about a potential DOF but Tan and the board very quickly shut that down due to it “Interfering” to much, But surely that’s the whole point of a DOF? if a DOF was in place during the Warnock era we wouldn’t of splashed millions on the players he signed. That’s only some of the issues that we’ve got with the board! I could on for ages so I’m going to leave it to the others to explain the other matters. The atmosphere down the CCS these days is non existent, From the music being played before the game to the noise generated by the crowd. The Canton stand has become a library in recent years, Yes this may be because of the state of the club and rightly so but the canton stand has become the family stand in a sense, Parents moaning if you start swearing and people just folding their arms when chants get started. A lot of Abuse has been thrown at the drummers behind the Canton stand but in my opinion without them drums no chants would get started. There was talk about a potential singing section being introduced “Adar Glas” but that was quickly shut down when fans started to moan about the idea! Fans were abusing the person for trying to create a actual atmosphere. But looking back at the idea now it more than likely would of made a huge difference!”

    These are just a handful of fans’ views but they all share the same principals. Cardiff City is rotten to the core and those fans who follow the side wherever they go are getting sick of everything going on

    I have never been a Tan basher or a follower of Sam Both have done is some good and both have caused many issues What i do know regime only last for a certain period and the period for Tan has come to its natural end now ( or even a few years back )
    We now need a new regime that is looking to take us forward Even if it is to sell in future for a big profit The club will have to be successful for that to happen.
    Thank you Tan for the two years in the premiership that in my 50 years of watching city I started to doubt would ever happen Thank you to Sam for waking up this club to move forward from the gloom of the 80s and 90s One could not come without the other.
    Time to move but let’s not split the supporters as that will lose us more than we would ever gain from it

    Yep, we have to be sure this is an improvement not jumping to another regime that doesn’t have the funds/appetite for the longer term investment now required.

    Can’t help feeling that if Tan had been able to put up with Morison for a bit longer we may not be talking in such “crisis” terms !!

    Tan.. yes, probably is time for him to move on,you say there are people waiting , why haven’t they made themselves known publicly.
    As for Tan, yes , he made a mistake in the Red/Blue.. however, he has backed the managers that he has appointed.. and got his hands burnt financially.. the month to month costs at the moment are sky high, yet , he is still meeting them.. no threat of having to sell our best players…

    Most fans I speak too are not against Tan, more of the opinion that if he has come to a stalemate then time to try and sell, but no dislike… I think it depends which areas you get your opinions from..people I speak to are 36plus..

    These are not the Clemo,Kumar days… think people should stop and think for what they wish for.

    In the meantime for the rest of the season. it would be great if as a fan base we could stand together , support the team and see where we end up.

    I think Tan has made plenty of mistakes e.g.thought the decosion to sack SM was terrible. If he was sacked because of personality issues, then someone eg Dalman should have been tasked with managing and warning him etc.
    I won’t outline all his faults as so many others get great pleasure in continuallt doing it!

    But he has also put millions and millions into the club (wheras it seems Sam Hamman wanted to line his own pockets at the clubs expense). Tan has also overseen more “success” than any of the previous Chairman together.
    Yet Some on here have continually slagged him off at every turn.

    Having watched City over 50 years I am firmly with Wez etc in thinking now is not a time to incite the fans and divide them.

    Possibly the worst time to protest seeing the position we are in, we need the fans behind the team not protesting in the stands.
