Well he's certainly in charge of it right now, when the preparations for that window are being made. :thumbup:

The same billionaire that has no football experience, thinks red is lucky & believes the rebrand was a good idea? :lol: I will trust Malky's opinion over yours... & it seems he's pretty angry. :sleepy2: :sleepy2: :sleepy2:


Are we spending in January then because you seem to know ? Last I heard tan said we had overspent but obviously you know for a fact there is money available for transfers .
Have you seen the figures since rebrand over when we were blue to say if it has been succesfull financially . Because that's what matters in buisness , MONEY , and cardiff city is a buisness . If takings are up the rebrand is succesful whether we like it or not it's about making money and keeping the club going and in that respect tan has been very succesful .

Have you talked to malkey then about this ? I havnt seen a quote from him ?

well you seem to think all our preparations for the next transfer window has ground to some sort of halt based on losing Moody

weve still got our scouting network

we arent recruiting atmo head of recruitment is a bit of a stupid job atmo its our scouting teams doing the hard graft atmo and they will need someone to liase with at home im pretty sure a 23 year old even with no footballing experience can handle that

Re: " MALKY MACKAY "

For those saying wear red or blue are missing Annis' point. We need to show Tan that we are against his regime. Tan's biggest belief is the colour change. The thing that will hurt him the most is a stadium of blue. There us no better way of protesting other than a mass walk out by voting with your feet, but those days are gone.
To those 'worried' about what Tan would think needn't panic, we are Premier League now and not even Mad Tan could alter that fact, well at least for this season! If he carries on we'll soon be Championship again.
We need to show our support for the best manager this club has seen for ages, we need to be united in showing Tan that we are blue, we need to show Tan that WE are Cardiff City and no matter what it is us who will always be here week in week out. He said it himself that if he is made to feel unwelcome he will leave. He will recoup his money and sell up to the next man.
Get behind Malky, get behind the team, get into Tan.

Hear our fight, hear our roar.

Up the City.

Spot on :ayatollah: :ayatollah:


Agree to a point but the weakness in the anti-Red campaign was that it split support.

The vital thing in the Malky issue that will hopefully be different is that virtually every City fan will be against it, as soon as you bring the Red and Blue into this you run the risk of diluting the argument and support.

Let's concentrate on the sole issue of keeping Malky and registering our discontent against VTs decisions that affect him, then you will really see the power we can generate :ayatollah:




Tan split the support not fans who just want our identity back

Good decisions? We were bankrolled by some loon. Malky is the reason we are in the premiership, helped by Tan's money. He didn't make any decisions.

Tans 'business decisions ' have been very suspect.
Failed to consolidate our custom by driving a big fat wedge through the support resulting in massive loss of sales on merchandising.... If he hadn't meddled we could have been looking at almost unlimited local sales of kits, leisure wear , etc etc
He took his eye off the Ball and focused on building a new market in the Far East for our club BEFORE consolidating the roots of the club, the lifeblood!

preparations for recruitment will be in the way of scouting and scouting only and since you dont think our scouting will be affected by Moody leaving, can you explain what exactly will be affected in our preparations for recruitment im genuinely confused.

Ok read this slowly

Vincent tan came into the club when we were pretty fucked financially ! Fact
He paid off the taxman
He paid off other creditors
He paid off the noose around our necks for years langstone .
He hired and this is important MALKY MACKAY
He allowed malky to install a back room staff
he gave malky funds to build a championship winning squad
He upgraded the stadium to premier league level
He gave malky massive funds to keep us in the premier league

FACT - without vincent tan there would be no malkey mackay at Cardiff !
FACT - without Vincent tans money we would not be a premier league team at this moment in time
FACT - Vincent tans decisions have been the catalyst for our success
FACT - Vincent tan is a prick but without him it's very possible we may not even have a club to be talking about now and for that the man deserves some credit .

You can't have it all ways !

what?

merchandise and shirt sales have gone through the roof

we sell out our stadium every home game

so how has Tan struggled with merchandise sales

and how has he not consolidated home support? since until we increase capacity we cant fit anymore people in

The inevitable growth of support has seen new fans come in who are following the premiership dream...they were always going to jump on the bandwagon and will be the first to jump off if we got relegated.
To consolidate is to reenforce what you already have, something he plainly hasn't done when existing fans have 1) not renewed season tickets 2) still go to games but do not spend money on refreshments / in club shop..

How many people who wear football shirts to our games DO NOT wear red? Many thousands!
They would have bought the new home kit, along with other merchandising had Tan not made the ridiculously irrational decision to change the clubs colours. I personally would normally have spent 400 on season ticket, 200 on first team shirts for the family, a few hundred on merchandising and with Christmas around the corner , god knows how much more on presents from the club shop.

sorry but a wedge through our support is not what you posted

you said Tan didnt consolidate, has he sold less tickets? jumping on the premier league dream is a cop out fact is its here and for whatever reason people have bought into it and have bought a truck load of merchandise

people can wear what they want at football, as for your football shirt argument, not everybody wears the current kit I see a variety of different shirts at games some old some recent, there are a lot more blue options than red ones. You could just as easily argue people where blue because they have always worn that blue shirt rather than a silent protest.

You think he has consolidated the existing support? Looks like a big fat split down the middle to me friend :thumbright:
Mate there haven't been 'unprecedented' sales, not unless you are taking the words of Mr Tan ( upon high) as gospel . The very clear point I ( thought I had) made is that there was scope here to really take off as a club with sales that would have gone through the roof, but that opportunity was lost , owing to ridiculous strategies that have alienated and segregated our support ..
There we are, we are not going to agree on this clearly. Have a good day :thumbright:

The very clear point I ( thought I had) made is that there was scope here to really take off as a club with sales that would have gone through the roof, but that opportunity was lost , owing to ridiculous strategies that have alienated and segregated our support ..
There we are, we are not going to agree on this clearly. Have a good day :thumbright:


have a good one yourself :thumbup:

Failed to consolidate our custom by driving a big fat wedge through the support resulting in massive loss of sales on merchandising.... If he hadn't meddled we could have been looking at almost unlimited local sales of kits, leisure wear , etc etc
He took his eye off the Ball and focused on building a new market in the Far East for our club BEFORE consolidating the roots of the club, the lifeblood!


what?

merchandise and shirt sales have gone through the roof

we sell out our stadium every home game

so how has Tan struggled with merchandise sales

and how has he not consolidated home support? since until we increase capacity we cant fit anymore people in


The inevitable growth of support has seen new fans come in who are following the premiership dream...they were always going to jump on the bandwagon and will be the first to jump off if we got relegated.
To consolidate is to reenforce what you already have, something he plainly hasn't done when existing fans have 1) not renewed season tickets 2) still go to games but do not spend money on refreshments / in club shop..

How many people who wear football shirts to our games DO NOT wear red? Many thousands!
They would have bought the new home kit, along with other merchandising had Tan not made the ridiculously irrational decision to change the clubs colours. I personally would normally have spent 400 on season ticket, 200 on first team shirts for the family, a few hundred on merchandising and with Christmas around the corner , god knows how much more on presents from the club shop. There are thousands like me friend. Do you disagree that his unfathomable decision to change the club colours has driven a wedge through our support?
