That Malky was never ever involved in Fraud and that our club is more divided at the top, than it is with our fans and that really is a prob.

Give the guy some credit. He's publically stated he'll talk to the fans about a compromise on the kit. Give him a chance to back down gracefully. Being magnanimous in victory is a wise thing (sort of thing your mate would say but it's true). The kit is probably sorted and ordered for next season so no one could reasonably expect him to change it now.
Why spread bollocks and poison when a more positive approach would probably pay dividends?
p.s.
when people who can't put their hands on £150 (obviously not you) slag Mr Tan for only putting in another £50 million equity I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

The only thing Tan (and Dalman) definitely got wrong was appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Although I do not place any blame on OGS for our relegation, as no one can be entirely blamed for it, I do feel Tan and Dalman should have appointed a manager with Premier League experience, like Palace did with Pulis, which may have given us more hope of survival. Neither Mackay or Solskjær had the experience of managing in the top flight of English football and therefore we were always facing an uphill battle.

Well I know malky spunked all of our transfer money in the summer.
I know he wouldn't of kept us up his average points per game at the start of the season wasn't enough to keep us up. It's also well known that teams he manages start to dip in form badly towards the end of the season.
I also know that the more people try using the malky is innocent an shouldn't of been sacked by our evil owner card the bigger the split between the fans is going to get.
Everybody wants to be back to blue but to keep banging on about malky an all the crazy bullshit rumours about tan isn't going to help anybody.

He has only recently been out of work...waiting for the settlement. Just because he did not get the Norwich job means sod all. Unless you create things. like you do to sustain your grievance.

It was Tans doing in sacking Mackay and the buck stops with him.


Yep, our season was doomed as soon as our bafoon owner starting chirping up in dec time . We won 12 points under his new managerial appointment . Great intervention tan .

Coco, have NO DOUBT that Cardiff City FC were hours away from Administration (and possible closure) just before TG and then VT got involved. That is a FACT that only someone with a specific agenda can try to deny

I don't claim to have too many 'contacts' within the club or the football world, but where negative corporate insolvency issues are concerned that is a slightly different matter. Sometimes, it really is a case (often more by default than design) of who you know

What has happened since is that Vincent Tan has (like it or not) put the club in a better fiscal position where external organisations (like bankers, the ILR and others) are concerned and the time us "fans" really have to worry is IF he decided to walk away with little or no notice and with no viable purchaser. I am sure someone more learned in the fiscal world (like the much respected Keith Morgan) can explain that in more detail

Luckily, despite rhetoric to the contrary by Tan and fans alike, he is not about to "walk away" and wants to finish the job he started. It may (or may not) be a matter of principle, but is will hopefully be to the long-term benefit of Cardiff City FC and by default its supporters

The short-term 'battles' with Tan over the Red/Blue issue are important (and the continued wearing of BLUE in the stadium IS having an effect ;) ) but should not override the importance of having a club to support long-term, i.e. after Tan has left

He has already indicated his willingness "to talk to grassroots supporters" and that indicates (but only time will tell) that he is at least prepared to listen. Fans should afford him that courtesy at least, because not to do so plays far more into his hands than ours, as I'm sure you will agree :thumbup:

Re: ' WILL VINCENT TAN ADMIT HE WAS WRONG ? '

Sun May 25, 2014 10:01 am

I don't think VT needs to admit he was wrong to sack MM but I do believe he needs to look long and hard at the way in which he sacked the man and the affect the long and drawn out process had on the team.

Looking back I believe you would find it hard to find a fan who thought that the transfer business done by the club last summer was anything other than disappointing. Spending weeks waiting for Ince to even come and speak to the club, never mind bidding a rediculous £8m for a player into the last year of his contract, was as clear an example of the quality, professionalism and standard of the business being done. Spending weeks chasing Wanyama then Capoue only then to make a late move for Medel again paying well over the odds raises serious question marks over both MM and IM. But all of that is nothing to the unbelieveable deal done in signing Cornelius and it's that deal, in my opinion, that ultimately done for both of them. VT gave these men £35m to prepare a squad capable of surviving in the PL last season and they failed and failed miserably.

But VT does need to accept that he failed to deal with this whole situation and I believe if he had sacked both MM and IM sooner we would have stood a better chance of staying in the PL. I have been told that the working relationship between owner and manager broke down when something was written, in a text or email, by a member of the backrrom staff which offended VT. I have no idea what was written by I understand that MM, whilst not agreeing with what was written, didn't come down hard on the person who did and that's what ruined the working relationship with VT.

All this happened in August and it beggars belief that it took until December to deal with the problem and sack MM which was, in my opinion, the only possible outcome. That's what VT got wrong and he should admit to that but he spent months trying to get MM to resign and when he couldn't doing his best to undermine the manager without any thought of the effect on the team.

After he did eventually sack MM he spent months getting an agreement that would ensure there was a "Public Apology" and that was so improtant to the man, so important that less than 10 seconds into his end of season rant he was asking that the fans ask thier "Hero" why he had apologised. Strange that he couldn't say why as he was tied down by a legal agreement not to disclose details. In my opinion the apology was more important to VT than staying in the PL.

But he did at least achieve more than relegation last season and that was he has reunited the fansbase in opposition to his whimsical rebrand and the sight of ALL four sides of the stadium waving "Blue & White" scarfs and singing "We'll always be Blue" before our last against Chelsea was stunning.

If you wanted an example of how not to run a football club then, in my opinion, VT is the poster boy for any advertising campaign.

As mistakes go do they come any bigger.
