HE TO FAR INTO US TO LOSE OUT NOW

Thu Oct 10, 2013 12:12 pm

Can't work out the timing of the shit hitting the fan and Tan announcing he plans to own 98% of the shares?????????????

From the very start when signs were looking strained shall we say, the calls for protest, boycotts etc could well have led to him saying f**k this who needs the hassle, and he could have walked away, possibly with his fingers slightly burnt, but lesson learnt, and we'd have been in the shit.

However now, it wouldn't be his fingers but his whole body that get's burnt, he got far too much invested and tied up in the club to walk away, yeh he could sell it, and that may well be a good thing depending on who steps in, but at least we are in a position where we are at least sell able, and almost attractive to investors.

Perhaps this is part of his plan and possibly why he wants 98% of the shares, but if that is the case and he makes money and we get a new owner, then so be it, it will be far from the worse position we were in only a few years back.

He can no longer bury his head in the sand and allow the positives of good results and promotion to help him. The rebrand was painful, and we all know if results hadn't gone our way, the fences would have been down, he rode his luck and got away with it to some degree,yes he played his part in that success, but if he feels it's down to him and him alone, then he going to have a surprise, yeh, he supported Malky, but if he thinks he can simply replace him and carry on making progress, then personally I think that is madness.

He could well quote events at Southampton, and to some extent he'd be right, I love Malky as a real man, great manager and good honest bloke and would hate to see him leave, but we must all accept that if he was lucky enough to replace him and climb even higher, then Malky would become a distant memory like Nigel Adkins was at Saints.

However, if he does replace him, there will be ructions, and that period until possible success may not come quick enough, if at all, then what does he do.

I think the noose is tightening, unfortunately I don't think any of us can second guess what he may do next, and that includes people that would claim to know him as well. :roll:

Waiting and praying for Malky to come out and make some sense of it all and put things right, in Malky we trust. If VT as got any sens at all, he will get him on side and get him now. :malky:

Well as we know what we can do to help malky.

Constantly sing songs about him. If I went I'd love to, but for work commitments I haven't been to a game this season (bloody kills me).

I urge every cardiff fan who goes to the games to constantly sing and chant about malky. After all...he is our Scottish messiah.

He's asked Malky to resign and he's appointed some 23 year old nodding dog as Malky's right hand man.

The guy is utterly classless and clueless. TAN OUT.

There are far more parallels with Blackburn than Southampton unfortunately

Time to get him out. He is a ticking time bomb and the more he gets involved and poisons our club the worse it will be to clean up the damage.

I think he's realised he's bought a pig in a poke. To all those pro reds who kept saying look at all the money he has made he has the Midas touch. These big shots lose money aswell. Look at Branson with Cola . Look at Tata. Even the rich and clever banks went bust . Not sure what will happen next. What do you reckon Barnett?

You've never been able to work anything out, so no point starting now Gwyn.

Your actually responsible for a large portion of blame with your antics over the last 18 months. No point looking back and going over old points but your actions haven't been good and your vision blinkered.

Honestly past caring pal. The club has become a joke and a circus act with a grade A clown pulling the strings in my opinion. I've just lost faith to be honest. Whilst we turn one page in the book and move on to the next chapter others are ripping pages out to ruin the great story that it should be that we all enjoy being a part of.

To me, the sooner he is gone now the better and fan ownership is the answer even if that means playing in a much lower league so be it.

Tan has divided and conquered us on his way to the top. Fans split, the likes of Borley cant say anything and have apparently sold up and he has worked his way to the top of the ladder and will get full control and will be able to as he pleases with his newly acquired toy.

Its sickening but true. We'll have a name change by the start of next season. Im almost certain of that.
