I do think it's time for him to move on.
I can't see him being able to back lamouchi in the summer with the current transfer restrictions in place

It is Vincent Tan's BUSINESS and he can run it how he likes. If it is run poorly it will lose money but it is Tan's money to lose.
If he wants to sell, he sets the price and he can hold out for whatever he wants.
We need to get to grips with these facts or go stir crazy.
Its all well and good saying he should get out. But you need a replacement and there isn't anyone meeting the price.
All you can do is remove your patronage. All walk and he may get the hint but do that and the team lose support. Fans do not make good customers, we expect too much of a say and those days have gone unless we can raise a couple of hundred million.

so people are saying Tan is keeping us going, but loans are coming in from an unknown person, and other people, are they allowed to remain unnamed loaning money to clubs ? is this a way tan can sell the club ? someone loans millions and gets given shares in return and then assumes ownership without a fit and proper test ?
when people say he's turning debt into equity ? what does that actually mean, does that mean the club becomes more valuble as there's more equity ?
and just an observation, i think this is why Dalman never bought Charlton, you cannot have a controlling interest in two clubs who play in the same competition, so he couldn't have debts owed to him by cardiff and own charlton, and he can make alot more money buy keeping his loans to the club going.
and if there are any potential buyers, is all these loans to other parties a pro or negative when buying a club ?

Obviously there are loads of other expenses but my figures above assumes an income of zero. What the hell is going on?!

Think you need to look at the accounts in detail before commenting.
