The only way we have a chance to get our club back is to get relegated and lose all our of plastics fans and specifically Tan. Our club is being torn apart by an owner who has sacked arguably our greatest manager in history, turned fans against each other, made Cardiff City look like a laughing stock and with all due respect has brought in a manager who isn't capable of keeping a newly promoted side up.
Am i overreacting because we lost to Swansea? Absolutely not! This is an issue that is much deeper than a result of a game. There seem to be a lot of fans on here who want Tan out, yet if we beat Swansea yesterday, wouldn't have said a thing. How much are we going to let Tan walk over us? He has changed our colours, badge, manager, (part of) our stadium, need i go on. Every time he destroys a new part of our club we get the usual "TAN OUT" speech, yet the next week we spend a bit of money or get a good result and the whole issue is swept aside. Take the Malky incident for example. When he was sacked there was protests, media coverage etc, then as soon as Ole was brought in and a few million is spent, everyone seems to forget the whole thing.
Where is the passion? Where is the atmosphere? Where is the support this club once had? It's been destroyed by a businessman and a stadium which is 75% full of people who only care about the team because we are in the Premier League. The same people who also suddenly jumped on the bandwagon when we made the league and FA cup final.
If we win next week, don't let the result overshadow the real problem. True Cardiff City supporters will understand, the ones who have been there through it all. Not the ones who suddenly become "fans" when we are facing the likes of Man Utd and Arsenal. The lower leagues felt more real than the BPL, it felt more like a sport than a business. Don't get me wrong, if we got relegated, it would again be the dream to play Premier League football, as long as Tan is gone, and we do it the right way in our true colours and identity. It has been spouted out ever since the loss to Swansea, but it should be said every day, no matter what happens on matchday... GIVE US OUR CLUB BACK! It might just be a colour and a badge, but it just does not feel right anymore.

You do realise we were getting 22,000 plus in the championship?
You make it sound like we have jumped from 10,000 to 27,000 since we got promoted.
The passion died long before the rebrand and PL promotion.
