Tan gets booed at and abused

Wow - three people boo him whilst 15K applaud him

Fair and balanced I suppose

At least 40-50 were boing him by us.

If I was a mathematician I'd calculate that as a % of the the crowd. I'm not so I won't Suffice to say it's very small !!

Not everyone was applauding but there were very few boos, FACT, no matter what side of the fence you are on.

Why does he deserve to be applauded? For giving us something he took away?

I booed him in the ground, and a lot around me did the same.

Same people booing him that demand multi million pound players

Double standards and hypocrisy at the highest level

It was an eye opener for me. Goes to prove that the majority on this board seem to be the minority of the City fans that attend the games every week.

was sat in the canton when he walked around and was shocked with his reception, but very pleased by the attitude of the bluebird faithful, not everyone believes what is written on this board!!

It's a long hard road that we are on, but it'll be easier if we are all heading the same way!!!

UNITY!!!!!!!!

I think some have egg on their faces after today

Wez, Thousands upon thousands dont go any that for says it all.

EMPTY SEATS ALL AROUND.

Crowds not that much lower than last championship season in reality annis

And hat was a promotion chasing season from almost day 1

Look at the average season under dave jones and in reality crowds are near as they were then

I'm sorry, but you can't tell me thousands upon thousands don't go to the games because of Vincent Tan!

The facts are unfortunately there for all to see! Regardless of our own personal views,

Premier league in red = full stadium

Mid table championship in blue = half empty stadium

How can you argue that?

The facts are Our club has been stripped,divided and its soul taken away.
Many thousands of had enough,at the way Tan has run our club.
Watch the sales of season tickets for next season.

Also clubs dont lose this many in just one relegation, we have less fans actually attending now than 4 years ago,thats your facts.

attendances is all down to way we play apathy by supporters and economics and no premier!!!! if people think that loseing 8 0r 9k fans is down to tan rebrand alone which is whats being said? well they have a one sided view of things!

Everything he has done has been business - not personal

Yep the RED shirt made him millions

I didn't say it was good buisiness...

So what did he do that made money then, thats what business is about is it not

I don't know what point your trying to make so I'm gonna breeze past that.

Going back to the point of my original post - anyone who boos tan, as things stand, is only shooting themselves in the foot. Nothing to be gained from it, potentially a lot to lose.

Tan only changed his mind because he had no choice, regarding the rebrand. Slade was arguing a fortnight before that it was affecting the team and both Dalman and Choo came on board as a result of fan pressure. No red shirts or merch was being sold. It was a commercial disaster. Tan had no choice but to do a u turn. I'm not thanking him , I'm congratulating our fan power. He's a lying, corrupt by as businessman.

Why does he deserve to be applauded? For giving us something he took away?

I booed him in the ground, and a lot around me did the same.

Basically because we gave him dogs abuse when he changed the colour so he was given a bit of support for changing it back.

I cannot even believe to understand why someone would give him hell for changing us to red and then continue to give him shit for changing us back to blue.

Its like booing the team after a win because you still remember they lost last week.

Ok, here's something for you to think about.

A man steals your car, but three years later gives it back to you.

Do you thank him?

Depends if he bought the fuker in the first place

Decision was made way before that around the time solskjaer left and if I'm correct even before this season started

Tan needed a way to save face the dialogue with fans was just that

He will go within 2 years. Great!

I hope he leaves the club in good shape financially then. After that I really don't care.

But the club is not yours it's his so he hasn't stolen anything from you. Football is just an entertainment business if you don't like what your getting or who owns it just boycott it and go somewhere else.

Surely attendances aren't down, if sure we were being preached at that if we changed our shirt colour back to blue, thousands would return and season tickets would fly out, wot a load of shite some spout. If we were top of the prem, in Euro cup quarter finals, we could be playing in pink shirts and you wouldn't be able to get a seat for love or money, results bring crowds plain and simple.

Wasn't at the game but I would never clap the c**t, don't think I would have booed him either but why should I thank him for loading us with debt and ripping the club apart until he had no choice but to turn back. Happy to try and move on but don't think I'll ever be able to clap him or sing his name.

Totally agree. Success and the crowds are up. It's always been the way at our club.

I hope he leaves the club in good shape financially then. After that I really don't care.

Dream on. He'll take as much as he can salvage financially out of the club and then it'll go through. A new owner will step in and the club will be reborn as a phoenix club. No businessman in their right mind is going to purchase all of the debt when they can step in once the club has hit the financial brick wall and pick it up for a pittance. Someone in the mould of Ken Bates will come in, purchase the club for next to nothing and then aim to sell it off a good number of years later for profit. Thats the way I see it going. Unless of course, the next owner is someone like Sam Hammam who purchases the club via a consortium for peanuts as I believe he'd stick around rather than sell on. Sorry, but people thinking Tan is going to leave the club in a good financial situation are deluding themselves. With losses elsewhere on his business portfolio, Tan will be looking to salvage as much as he can. Tan will be looking to better his own financial situation rather than the clubs. I do not believe the debt to equity will happen in the slightest.

Hopefully he leaves us better than Sam or Ridsdale left us.

It was an eye opener for me. Goes to prove that the majority on this board seem to be the minority of the City fans that attend the games every week.

was sat in the canton when he walked around and was shocked with his reception, but very pleased by the attitude of the bluebird faithful, not everyone believes what is written on this board!!

It's a long hard road that we are on, but it'll be easier if we are all heading the same way!!!

UNITY!!!!!!!!

I think some have egg on their faces after today

Wez, Thousands upon thousands dont go any that for says it all.

EMPTY SEATS ALL AROUND.

Crowds not that much lower than last championship season in reality annis

And hat was a promotion chasing season from almost day 1

Look at the average season under dave jones and in reality crowds are near as they were then

Average attendance promotion season 2012/13 was 22,998. In the previous season it was 22,129 so hardly went up at all.
In the Premier League season , the average went up to 27,440.

The average will be down this sesason from 2012/13 and 2011/12 (haven`t looked sat the actual figures yet but we have not averaged anything like 22,000). More importantly , which I think is the point Annis is trying to make , is that the people physically attending the games (rather than being counted in as season ticket holders)is well down. This was a key factor in pursuading VT to reverse the rebrand.

Just had a quick look on the official club website.

For the 17 home league games so far this season , the average attendance has been 21,110.

and it will be significantly lower next season.


I'll be surprised if we average over 17k

So much for "once he gives us our blue back we'll all pull in the same direction and support the boys". I know the footballs crap but this thread just proves all that give us our blue back and we'll move forward shit was just that. Soon be back to the solid 10k who used to shout themselves horse even when we were crap, everyone else just move on.

You think it's bad now? Wait till the new badge is released! This forum will be in meltdown. Trouble with a lot on this forum, if there is a tiny hole in anything to do with our clubs owners/ management, they'll be sure to tear it into a grand canyon!

But I suppose the hit count on here would drop massively if we all were pulling in the same direction.

I never booed him,i never clapped either,there were a mixture by me
