Mehmet Dalman. Cardiff City Chairman(Appointed by Vincent Tan) in his interview yesterday with media Wales “We are debt free"



“Cardiff City right now is stable,” said Dalman. “We are debt free. Vincent Tan wrote off interest (on loans) and is in the process of converting loans into equity. The club in no debt. We have an extremely-talented team and a board who are stable, motivated and ambitious.”

"If this is so" would tend to suggest that you may not believe this to be the case.

Are we truly debt free or is that statement from Dalman inaccurate?

Super news, if true (and there is no reason to doubt Mehmet Dalman) :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

is in the process of converting loans into equity.

Until that is done, then that's great news. :ayatollah:

If I had just cleared 100mill of debt I would probably release an official statement to confirrm it myself. Maybe vinny doesn't like the limelight?

Clearly not true YET or the club would have made a huge song and dance about it... Tan is in desperate need of positive PR right now & this would have been perfect for them.

'In the process' is not 'debt free'.

The club is going in the right direction ,even the biggest anti tan people on this board can't argue against that

Right direction, but there's no doubt that Tan is going the wrong way about it. Even the biggest tan apologists can't argue against that.

We need to be debt free for any chance of being floated in the Singapore stock market.

That and make a profit for at least the last 3 year's!

I doubt the porcess is complete yet.

I think by debt free he means that the only significant sums owed out are to Tan.

Hopefully he will complete the process soon and that will be another massive step forward for the club.


- Debtors paid off including PMG, Sam, other clubs, HMRC
- Promotion to the Prem
- Stadium expansion
- Finally debt to equity of his own debts.

If only he hadn't buggerred about with the kit.

I'm glad you're able to read. :thumbright:

If anyone ever described Rudy As a Goal scoring machine, they're clearly deluded or clueless. His stars prove that he isn't & Malky obviously agrees as he's shipped him out as he's not good enough. :lol:

We are NOT debt free.

These guys can be quite insulting if they think we believe that.

Annis, if the debt free piece is true then Tan deserves credit for what he has done. But if he turns us back to blue then he would gain legendary status. If only though. :(

So have you got this news confirmed then? Or are you relying on gossip - something you normally slag others off for? Hypocrite. :lol:

Our Chairman said on national Tv, with Mally sat next to him, that Tan is in the process of converting his debt to equity and that Cardiff City will be debt free very soon.

So you think our Chairman is liar?

That is correct it has not happened yet. However our Chairman has said on national Tv that it will happen soon. Surely that is good news or is our Chairman a liar.

Magners likes to try and prove me wrong, which is ironic as trying to do so here has backfired and proved me right. :lol: :thumbright:

You stick to your childish abuse though. :roll:
