Particularly when you see Sheffield Wednesday went for 28 million, it does appear that Tan is overvaluing us massively

I would like to see new owners but I think last summer was the time and I don't see him selling up at the moment. On a positive note things that I'd like to see and are possibilities

1. Drop the Sala stuff, it was just a tragic accident and he should have been insured that's on Choo/Dalman
2. Give the manager a half decent budget. I don't think it's sensible to break the bank and we have a good young team but give BBM whatever he needs
3. I think he'd get a lot of credit if he changed the badge back to either just a Bluebird or the old crest, it's stupid we aren't Malaysian so why have we got a Malaysian dragon

I see your points but let’s get it right that Sala wasn’t a ‘tragic accident’, it was a planned flight arranged by a banned and nefarious individual and his family, which resulted in an unqualified pilot flying a dodgy plane at night with ‘warning signs’ before they even took off!

I have no real view on whether Tan should/should not pursue his claim further, as it’s not my money he’s spending to do it and I don’t think it would be diverted to the transfer coffers otherwise

It was so easily avoided though, and if the only positive outcome is that future situations are dealt with more professionally, it will be something! :ayatollah:

I agree plus we offered him a flight the day before but he chose not to come on that commercial flight.

I'm not a religious man but i pray him and his parasite clowns sell up and leave. Fans seem to forget what they have done to the club when we are doing good which is down to BBM , although I can assure you there will be tan out chants and protest talk if we are down the bottom end and it runs sour next season . That's how mad fans are :lol: :ayatollah:

Looking at most of the posts it seems most fans are in agreement about tan going, but will accept he is here to stay and hope he backs bbm.
Its looking very likely he has met bbm and they have agreed to carry on ,there has been no signs of any disgruntlement like we had with Erol bulet with signings etc, but it's all guess work on my part, we hear nothing no statements goals etc.

A new owners might be on everyone's lips and tan out if he told bbm to get shot of wintle if you want another player.
