He said debt free in exchange for the rebrand which the fans leaders agreed to. All except Dave Sugarman.
Chris, I 100% never agreed and nor did 3 others.
But he had his Rebrand for 2 years, Debt Free was promised by Tan that it would happen with in months and it never.
Annis at the time you and Carl come back on the forum after the meeting held when he threatened to walk and asked everyone to calm down. Not blaming you as I don't know the circumstances of how it was put across at the meeting but defo happened.
I think only after the rebrand really kicked in did people start changing their mind. Dave Sugarnan was the only one who come out and public ally opposed it on the TV. I take no pleasure in saying that as I find him very arrogant (online anyway don't know him personally) but he was defo the only well known supporter / fans leader who made his resistance clear from the start.

I was not I walked out of the ground and sat in the Ninian Park Pub
Wez, you were not even supporting City during the rebrand years, so you don't really know what it was like, plus you don't go to away games, so you don't know really how the diehards feel, a fact

The Facts are Tan has run our club for 6 years and we are in a terrible state.
Other than the few on here who continually stick up for Tan, the majority of City fans do not support Tan.
His 12,500 Glory hunters where are they now?
And please someone explain why " SIX YEARS " Later we are still in a mess under this Regime?
I wish I could, views have been offered on this thread so who knows it is what it is. Why can't we move on in positive way??
There are a lot more than 12,500 glory boys. I think from the days when we were in div 4. But that football it happen in every club the higher and better you get the more people interested. Applies for pretty much every thing in life and 100% of the time in sports. Trick is to keep the upward trend or at least maintain a high standard.
I have a sneaky feeling we be in the prem next season.
I 100% will move on a positive way once our club is debt free as promised![]()
Don't you want the same?
When I watch my team, I am always positive and sang my heart out yesterday away at Huddersfield![]()

That's some pretty progressive thinking there. Spot on let's stagnate and and not try to move forward.
Wow this country needs more forward thinkers like you. Lmao. Unbelievable.

By discussing this we are moving forward, the debt is an on going saga which hasn't been resolved. Not discussing the debt means we are stagnating surely?
I agree with moving on from the rebrand, that's old news and something that has been resolved, I object to people constantly bringing that up but the debt is a different matter. Evidently the country does need more people like me to keep those that want to turn a blind eye to everything in check.

I was under the impression that this forum was set up to discuss any topics that may be of interest to City supporters, and I should think that the current massive debt is a reasonable point to be up for discussion. It won't vanish just because nobody mentions it, and could obviously have a major impact on which direction this club is likely to be heading in.

imagine the uproar if he'd come in 6 years ago and sold everything off! There'd be cries of no ambition, asset stripping, a club on the decline.
We all wanted the premier league and he delivered. 2 years of poor management of finances (promotion year and premier league year plus the close season after relegation) and we are in a lot more debt . But the debt is mainly to tan himself and not hmrc or anyone else that could close us down.
now he/ Dalaman and Choo are trying to fix the mistakes and we the supporters should support that, but yet we still have people crying for overpriced and overplayed players to be bought!
like I have said on previous threads, I don't like Tan, but at the moment we need him. It doesn't matter how rich your owner is, the championship has very strict ffp rules so he can't inject more than a certain ammount into the club per year, at the moment that money is paying our losses per year, the club are trying to resolve this.
Couldn't have said it better myself
You watch all the teams that are spending massive in the championship this season. If they don't go up, they will also be under an embargo next season.

As to this being brought up again, its ok when the media,the regime,Tans followers all keep blaming the past for the state of our club today. Well its been 6 years now and its about time the current regime accept the blame for our current state.
I wrote this up before todays game.

Wez, in 1927 we WON The FA Cup and a re still being lauded as the ONLY club ever to take it out of England!
Two years earlier we were also in the FA Cup Final and had come close (by 0.01 of a goal) to being Division One (nowadays Premier League) Champions!
We've had a good few years since Sam's takeover and even under Tan (in on-field success terms) but to call the last six years the (quote) "Most successful 6 years ever in our history" is a little wide of the mark!
As the advert (somewhat ironically) goes: "It was good, but it wasn't quite Carling!"
