Tan was approachable,listens,chats and answers everything and has quick answers, he was not the type of person certain people had said he would be.
You can actually have a joke with him and he has an excellent sense of humour.
I brought our identity up to him on 3 occasions,he never once brushed me off, in fact Tan himself on two other occasions brought it back up to me.
No we wont change his mind regarding his love for Red and its not about making money its more about his own beliefs, but I honestly belief those that stay Blue, but respect him,will gain a lot of Respect back from him for not just rolling over.
Tan gave myself respect and in turn there was mutual Respect, but I do not believe or will ever believe Tan is right about the Rebrand, without a doubt in my mind he is wrong and I will never change on that.

Im confident in Tan's business prowess and I'm fully expecting him to balance the books at our club after the Langston issue is finally resolved. On the flip side I totally respect any City fans who chooses to remain loyal to our traditional colours.
Mutual respect

Gavin, There is no point shouting at the man or other persons,belittling or being aggressive gets you no where, best thing to do in my opinion is respect each others opinions and hopefully get yours to be remembered.
Years ago I might of took the other approach, but thankfully Ive grown up, took me long enough

That's fair enough.
I have always maintained that respectful dialogue is the ONLY way to approach this subject and ever get a chance to return to blue.
Personally i think Tan could be the greatest thing to ever happen to this club and even this City! I do wish he didn't change to red or meddle with what some hold dear to them, but i also believe he deserves the biggest credit for our promotion this season. I know without a shadow of a doubt that despite malky doing a superb job this season, there is no way he would have done it if he had peterboro's budget.
I'm glad you are willing to speak to Tan cordially and with respect and who knows, the more he learns about the passions and traditions of our game he may even one day do a u-turn.
