We really have had some shady people over the years running our club, then in steps Tan a real business man who I'm grateful for saving us if we really did need it. I'd like to think we were a club on the up though new stadium, training facilities, 20000+ crowds etc but some how with his lack of experience of British football and culture he's really made some huge mistakes which will take a long time or may never be put right it makes it hard to like him in any way. Now it seems he's uninterested or he's really trying to do it on a shoe string.

I don't like Tan but to be fair you can't really blame him for taking a backseat: he got 'let down' by Malky while the fans shouted racial abuse and chanted in their thousands that he was a *ank*r. If I were him, with the sort of cash he's got in reserve, I'd be inclined to sell any assets and drive the club into the ground just for the hell of it, so perhaps we've been let off lightly. Having said this I won't be sorry if he never shows his face at CCS again.
On the positive side, the football has generally been much more entertaining over the last month or so (in spite of some results) and Tan and co. do seem to have a plan in place for reducing the wage bill and getting the club back on an even keel following over two years of absolute wasteful mayhem in the transfer market. Though I feel many fans on this message board will leap on the chance to blame Tan for Malky's and Ole's ineptness in the transfer market (in Malky's case was it just ineptness? - I don't think we'll ever know).

He trusted the wrong people in the likes of Malky sadly. A disease to the club

Tan has his professional pride to deal with.

The project Cardiff city has been a disaster for him. Most likely his biggest lost ever. Adding to that he still wants to make it in the football world he cannot just walk away leaving us in a mess. Besides he said he would leave us in good stead if he went.

To me his thinking is to make us an independent club living by our means. I don't think anyone will disagree with that considering what has gone on over the last 2 seasons. I feel once he has got us in that position he will then start planning his exit. I do believe he will have to wipe off his debt for this to happen.

Your right I do Blame Tan for everything as he decides everything a FACT :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

Debt to Equity was agreed to be done with in months of the Rebrand, Ive proved this time and time again and I attended all the meetings with Tans representives incl Allan Whitley CEO.



Why are people still defending Tan? And why does Malky always come up?

Tan is the reason. Tan is the disease. Tan is not CCFC.


Spot on - Tan, and him alone is responsible for the mess the club are in. He fucked up, and in the process managed to convince those with low intelligence levels that his red revolution was a good idea.

As far as malky Mackay is concerned, he will continue to be blamed for everything from the Plaque, not seeing the iceberg on the titanic and the Volkswagen emmsions scandal by Tan and his moronic followers.

Tan you're a tw*t - f**k off and take your red retards with you.

Why is Malky responsible for plaque? Is he a dentist now?

It's something called auto correct on a phone.... But let's be fair - surely it isn't sugary drinks causing dental issues...... It's malkys fault.

PS. This afternoon, someone in Stockholm missed a flight to Dublin, local reports say it was malky Mackay to blame.
