Is it finally getting to him?

Fri Jul 19, 2013 2:20 pm

This really is a genuine question not in anyway another to bring up the old nutmeg.

Watching VTs interview last evening at U of W I am sure the Fans that refuse the red are actually getting to him.
This is only my observation

Watching him do his lap of honour on the Charlton promotion night, I very much doubt he is worried about a small % of descanters. It was more probably another reminder of how important he is to our success.

It's bigger than that & it's clearly getting to him. :thumbup:

I notice how you like to attack my posts, just to get a rise. The actions of an immature troll.

Here's what I think.

If tan wasn't bothered about those against the rebrand, he wouldn't have :-

*Given out red scarves for free to encourage the wearing of red.
*Tell fans that they shouldn't sing blue songs next season (at the supporters dinner)
*Bring up the rebrand every time he's interviewed.
*Try to threaten fans with him leaving every time someone rejects the red.

His interview is clearly at those who "disrespect" him.

Now instead of trolling, why not try and actually debate? :thumbup:

I ain't attacking I am being honest.

Yes he says all that.. brings up the rebrand because he is saying how successful it has become.

Threatens fans but that is only to scare them into changing their mind.

Sing blue songs in the ground, doubt he will hear them and actually give a s**t.

Giving out free red scarfs as a gift.

Tan is one cool guy it will take more thana few moans and growns to upset him, after all were still red and the balls clearly in hs court, the more we protest the more Red we get. We cannot win Vincent Tan and that's a fact.....

Re: Is it finally getting to him?

Fri Jul 19, 2013 3:21 pm

Tan's not scared at all, massive amount of TV revenue now, media usually ask Tan rebrand questions and he answers

Is he any more disliked than any other clubs chairman ?

The anti Tan (red) lobby on here probably have about 10:1 ratio superiority, but what do you get on here ? About 400 posters out of 22K season ticket holders..... Not really a significant voice.

He does want adulation, appreciation and the 5% must bug him. They can be replaced and will be as long as we are in the premier league. Before the usual cry of they won't be there if we get relegated, nor will Tan....In his plans he has sold us before that day....For a profit of course, but he does love us....

They won't be replaced because they continue to go, this is ultimately the problem with the whole anti-tan/red 'movement'.

A few unhappy faces means f-all to tan and the club whilst they continue to spend £££ each season and cheer on the team.

Even if those fans were to walk away they would easily be replaced. It's a win win situation for him - and he knows it.

He is talking the piss when he comes out with such comments about 'walking away' if pushed because he knows it will never happen (a significant protest movement).

You are right

The UK is a culture shock to Vincent Tan. Does anyone think his McDonald franchise in Malaysia was built
on workers rights and a 'fair days work for a fair days pay' - Its only 10 years ago that political opponents
to the Government over there were still being arrested and imprisoned without trial. Thats the culture
Tan was born and raised in. Power is everything. Democracy is still pretty much an infant over there. His
word is law over there. Money is everything, nothing else counts. His latest outburst proves he is pretty
naive regards the freedom of expression and right to protest in Britain. We may not like something over
here. We might put up with it, but f**k me we will be heard. We will not be ignored.

By coming out with his outrageous 5% claim, and his veiled threat (yet again) to leave, all he is doing is
fanning the flames. Had the stupid fucker just given us blue shorts and socks at home there would be no
Bluebirds Unite any more. The majority WOULD have said "well we've got as much as we're going to get"
and called it a day. Why... because it would have proved Tan was willing to listen. Instead, he has pretty
much given us all two fingers. My way or the highway.

We're a stubborn nation. Wales never really knuckled down even after hundreds and hundreds of years of
English oppression. no, im not being political - im just saying that the Welsh are and always have been
stubborn fuckers

The relationship between Tan and the fanbase is at an all time low now. Even the ones who have accepted
the red can see that Tan has no consideration for the fans. The cheap tacky badge and the awful ''We are
Premier League'' merchandise proves that

An olive branch? All Tan really needs to offer is a twig, but he cannot see the little people down below him

Re: Is it finally getting to him?

Tan is no different to any entreprener billionaire. It does not matter where you come from in the world money and power makes them all think the same. Anyone recall Robert Maxwell.

Fair enough. But Maxwell didnt give a f**k if the whole World hated him. My sister-in-law worked for
Richard Branson and was invited to a staff party on his Island all expenses paid but she was pregnant
and couldnt go. Tan seems to want to be somewhere in the middle. Respected and appreciated, we all
appreciate what he's done here but cannot respect the way he's turned his nose up at our history. Respect
is a two-way street

700 people at a BU meeting = Less than 5% of support

Handful of people asking for refunded ST last season = Less than 5% of support

Biggest of all though is the huge numbers of ST renewals seeing people like you who think the rebrand is "Ghastly" financially back it! :laughing6: :laughing6:

Priceless. :laughing6: :laughing6: :wave:

:sleepy2: you bring up the same boring arguments every time. Supporting the team, as I always will do. I trust that when you were fobbed off by Ridsdale (assuming you aren't a latecomer) you stopped going, because you wouldn't want to financially back it?

Either that or you're a massive hypocrite. :roll:

Re: Is it finally getting to him?

Fri Jul 19, 2013 6:29 pm

I bring up the same arguments because you never give me a straight reply instead you squirm like a little worm in a birds beak because deep down you know I am right, you can't walk away.

I don't like what Tan has done just like I didn't like what Ridsdale had done but I signed up both times in the knowledge that I was now backing their agenda, however flawed they are, I am half tempted to type it out again in basic English as I just know you won't be able to digest that without frothing at the mouth and completely missing the point.

I love Cardiff city more than I hate the rebrand, can you say the same Chuckles?

I've said the same all along you silly fool. :lol:

So you didn't agree with what Ridsdale did and still went, yet telling me that I don't like the rebrand & still going is hypocritical. :laughing6:

Knew I should have written twice. Stop making wholly inaccurate assumptions about me - Who does that sound like to you? Just another forum bully who can't handle the truth, get a job and see that life does not revolve around Cardiff City football club.

You definitely do not have a job judging by your character traits on here. You are probably a charming bloke away from the internet but you are an absolute tool on it. Anonymity? Isn't that something you swore blind by when you first joined up?

Are you pretending to be Barry Chuckles then sunshine? With that name and profile picture I think you are. Another own goal by the forum dunce. :laughing6:

Oh dear, you are wrong again. Getting into a habit of this, aren't you?

You're the "tool" on here. Belittling and prejudicing against different groups of people.

No, I don't claim to be Chuckle. I've never spoken in the style of Chuckle, whereas you claim to be an old
Man, claim to be there for so many years & post in the style of a 71 year old man.

Be anonymous all you like, but if you're going to mouth off and abuse people and throw insults around like you do (regularly prejudicing students, when you're probably one yourself) I'd say it makes you look a little silly.

I don't agree with your views & you don't agree with mine. That's the equity of forums, but whereas I can debate, you just like to turn to insults, which blows your 71 year old
Man story.

I'm afraid this is getting boring now.
I was once called childish for tit for tatting on here, it hurt but i took a step back and had to agree.
Any chance you two or even just one of you can be the bigger man and just step back and look at what you are writing.
yawn yawn. I'm sure you both have genuine reasons for or against this topic but in truth we can only assume what he's thinking and will only know through his actions of either staying or going.
I'm only mentioning this as i'm trying to scroll through all this crap desperately trying to find some fact or genuine news and updates. Cheers
