Don't pick the club pick the chairman/owner

Wasn't this the strap line that all pariah's of Tan were throwing out there over the past week or so as to why Solskjaer would turn us down?????

Well??? Let's keep that same statement in play shall we! Its an endorsement of Tan and what he has been, is doing which is all for the benefit of Cardiff city FC, even if that does also mean that long term he also benefits.

For any good Tan does, he matches it with bad.
If we lose a few soon, Tan will be having it again from us.

the guinea pigs here are us fans.

Malky learning, Tan learning.

all shit aside, we have a carcass of a premier team, we need quality and goals and we could be stable.
may be a carling cup winner of the future and trapzing around Europe.

A lot of managers may see this as a fair step on their career journey.

Thought I'd give this a cheeky bump after all the stick vt has been getting recently

f*cking hell give it a rest, you've already licked his bum hole clean

f*cking hell give it a rest, you've already licked his bum hole clean

What do you mean give it a rest John?!
Day in, day out we hear the same old bollocks from those with the opposite agenda and I don't hear you pipe up then!

its not licking his bum.............like me the OP thinks EVERYTHING and i do mean EVERYTHING seems to have an anti Tan twist..........the statement was deffo used to make the point no manager would pick our owner............well he did pick Tan

Thought I'd give this a cheeky bump after all the stick vt has been getting recently

Just so you know I despise Tan and that Dictator took our Identity away. I cant forgive him for that and I will never forget.

The Cardiff City Circus Gives The World It’s Most Bizarre Act Yet.

January 3rd, 2014


Just four days after Cardiff City’s chairman Mehmet Dalman said he’d been assured by The Bluebird’s owner Vincent Tan that Malky Mackay’s job as the Cardiff City manager was secured for the foreseeable future, Tan once again went back in his word
So on Christmas Friday morning the Malaysian billionaire sacked the popular 41 year old Scot, the club issued a statement saying that the board had relieved Malky Mackay of his managerial duties forthwith

MacKay’s sacking had been somewhat expected, but it still came as a massive shock. The day before the Bluebirds’ premiership clash with Sunderland and at Christmas too!
It was a cruel and painful blow in the middle of the festive season for the manager who didn’t want to go, and also for the staff, players and supporters of Cardiff city football club, who likewise didn’t want him to leave.

So why was a popular, successful, admirable man sacked from his managerial post, to the backdrop of an international public outcry in his support?

The real crux of the problem we were told was a personality clash between Tan and MacKay – in truth;
Tan was deeply jealous, of MacKay and made little secret of his disdain at the popularity the scot courted from the media and fans, and the adoration bestowed on Mackay, commenting “it’s like he’s some sort of f’ing god.”
Tan felt the adulation bestowed on Mackay rightly belonged him, it was his money that he believed saved the club then gained it promotion.

Stinging with envy, Tan set about picking fault at very corner, and making increasingly crazy demands of MacKay, his players, staff, and the Bluebirds supporters. Supporters being ordered not to sing songs about being blue or call themselves the Bluebirds, instead after 110 years they should call themselves the dragons, a demand which was ignored by the fan base. MacKay and his scouting team were told to sign players with a lucky 8 in their date of birth after a fortune teller told Tan it was a number destined to bring him much luck.

Tan also reportedly flew into a rage when Cardiff City were forced to play against teams in any colour, but ‘lucky red’ asking how much it would cost to get the ‘other red’ teams to play at home in another colour to allow his dragons to play in red.
Mackay had the task of explaining this wasn’t possible, no amount of money would make Manchester United play at old Trafford in black

Tan who admits he didn’t even know the rules of football when he bought into the club in June 2010, just one month after he was granted a legal licence to run betting on football in Malaysia.

This season he’s been sending notes down during matches to Malky to demand tactical changes and substitutions and Tan complained to Malky Mackay that he wanted Scotland international goal keeper David Marshall dropped, because he wasn’t scoring and implored that his players shoot from within their own half because they would score more. A notion he’d gotten into his head after witnessing Mark Hudson’s once in a lifetime 68 yard wonder goal against a Derby.
Marshall was to later become further the subject of Tan’s demands with him insisting to MacKay much to the managers chagrin that Marshall should go up for set pieces.
All of which scream his entire knowledge of football has been gained from watching his son play Fifa!

MacKay politely listened to the increasingly crazy demands, before going about his job the way he felt fit.
There in was another major problem Vincent Tan is used to absolute obedience and adulation from his employees – of them being choreographed by the Malaysian version of Simon Cowell to produce all singing and dancing birthday tributes.
If he says jump he expects to be asked how high, this is what he is used to – it’s what he demands.
However, with all this is mind he picked the wrong country in which to buy a football club – South Walians are sarcastic and dry, with a self-deprecating dark wit, who do what they want in their own time.
The idea of them bowing and scraping to someone on the grounds solely of their wealth is as preposterous as the high waisted trousers, worn with a formal shirt, tie and football shirt tucked into them – the outfit which is so favoured by Vincent Tan, and it is Tan’s attire which explains the design of the Cardiff city red strip, the v-neck of the shirt has a crew neck insert in a slightly different shade of red to the rest of the shirt, this is because the original design’s remit was for a v-neck on the grounds it would make Mr Tan’s shirt and tie sit nicer.

Even after sacking MacKay, Tan’s behaviour continued to be oddball he chose to issue a statement (not via the clubs website, but instead via Sky sports news) in which he blamed Mackay’s sacking on Mackay, and the ‘airing of dirty laundry which wasn’t fair on the club players and fans.’

The egotistical tyrant further cast himself as the poor innocent victim, who had only tried to do right by the club he had ‘saved’
Failing to grasp that he is the one who has dismantled the club and loyal fan base single handedly, by wiping the 100 year plus tradition and history of the club for the sake of his own stupid superstitions.
No one was impressed with his sacking of MacKay’s right hand man and chief scout Ian Moody and the replacement of him with a friend of his son who had been employed to repaint CCS, and who later had to be dismissed when it came to light he was working illegally in the country (who is still under investigation as to the legality of him even being in the country).

Tan has insulted supporters by calling them customers and adding he was perfectly happy to have up to 25% of them alienated from the club.
He’s labelled the media stupid, and politicians, who joined in the foray about the rebrand to red from traditional blue, as interfering.

Vincent Tan casts himself as a victim, although many view him as the pantomime villain – An oddball one at that! A man who feels he’s entitled to insist that the managers and staff watch as magic fairy dust is sprinkled on the pitch for good luck, and who also thinks it’s perfectly rational to consult a tarot reader on all club matters and to exile players he feels have bad aura.

Entitled to buy players without consulting the manager, much less the club scout, some of the summer’s (disputed) overspend is due to at least one player added to the squad solely by Vincent Tan

MacKay left the welsh capital with his head held high and reputation intact, bathed in the love of the supporters of the club he had taken to the league cup final and back into the top flight of the English league system for the first time in over fifty years. A job he’d done all with good humour and respect for the Bluebird fans, he’d gotten what it is to be a Bluebird – something few managers have ever done - a lot of players never do and even a some fans never do, the new manager would be advised to do a little local research before taking up the position, he faces an uphill task dealing with the crazy antics of Tan, without also getting off on the wrong foot with the Bluebirds faithful.

On New Year’s Day it looked like Vincent Tan, had lined up his man. When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer flew from Norway to London with Tan on the businessman’s private jet and took his place alongside him in the Emirates Stadium directors’ box in the afternoon Solskjaer looked stoic throughout the game, leaving his seat for a while before half time leading to some conjecture he had gone to give the halftime team talk, Cardiff City gave a gutsy performance against the league leaders, but fell victim to two very late goals and slipped to just one point above the Premier League relegation zone thanks to the 2-0 defeat by Arsenal.

No matter how much good Tan does, people will always slate Tan for what he has done by stripping us of our colours.

Correct and he deserves that at the very least.

Nat loves the Red and endorsed it/bought it/wore it and even laughed at those that stayed BLUE. So I cant ever take him or Gwyn serious again.

Tell me when I've laughed

Tan is an absolute c**t and those who still stick by the red aren't that far behind IMO

Tan changing the colours was culturally insensitive and the way he went about it bordered on ridiculous. Nevertheless, he has done a lot of good for this club and you cannot deny that Malky should have added some creativity to our squad with the money he spent.

In the end Malky was playing a game as much as Tan was. If Malky didn't want to get sacked there is absolutely no way he would have called that press conference the day before Christmas eve! He didn't want reconciliation, he wanted compensation.

If Tan has recruited PR men to find out how he can win over the South Wales public then that can only be a good thing.

I wish he would turn us back to blue as the bad feeling between our supporters is driving me potty.

In my opinion supporters like yourself who carry a lot of influence with some of our fans need to choose your words carefully and need to provide balance in separating the hideous rebrand with the positives he has done at the club.

There does seem to be a glimmer of hope lately and I think protesting for a return to our traditional colours can only be a good thing.

However in previous protests people don't even know what they were protesting for! Some wanted tan out, some return to blue and some wanted malky to stay.

The problem with public protest though is that you will always attract dick heads who will be willing to shout racist comments etc.

100% agree with all this.......if we were Blue,he would be a pretty good owner in my eyes..and the OP is a valid one, plenty thought we had no chance of OGS because its well documented that HE would pick an owner.........well he did..........instantly......all those saying he would not come have twisted it to be purely money. there seems to be no balance... im not pro Tan, but i am anti,anti Tan no matter what........if that makes sense

its not licking his bum.............like me the OP thinks EVERYTHING and i do mean EVERYTHING seems to have an anti Tan twist..........the statement was deffo used to make the point no manager would pick our owner............well he did pick Tan

oh grow up..............we are....MI5..get a f*cking grip

I'm sorry Annis but that article is clearly bollocks.

Malky's said he hadn't had any contact with Tan for months so how was he getting these supposed tactical insights from Tan?

If I was Tan I would instruct my lawyers to have a look into these articles that are popping up because they're clear cases of slander.

It read more like a blog than a legitimate newspaper/website article. There is probably some truth, some half truth, some embellished incidents, and some slanted assumptions that lack credibility and belief. We all have our opinions of Tan and read articles through that prism. Due to some of the absurd things he has done, that will probably always linger in the background (or for some, in the foreground) no matter how long he owns the team and how successful they are.

No matter how much good Tan does, people will always slate Tan for what he has done by stripping us of our colours.

Correct and he deserves that at the very least.

Tell me when I've laughed

Well annis???? Come on, you've made a claim, back it up with facts. Or is this another fictional tan style claim?

Annis?????

Thought I'd give this a cheeky bump after all the stick vt has been getting recently

Just so you know I despise Tan and that Dictator took our Identity away. I cant forgive him for that and I will never forget.

The Cardiff City Circus Gives The World It’s Most Bizarre Act Yet.

Yep very unfair on the man as lots of what has been said is made up. Also the game that he 'booed' almost everyone that was sat around me in the ninian stand started booing and it sounded loud enough to assume that more sections of the stand and ground were booing also, but f**k TAN BOOED AS WELL... everyone needs to grow up
