WELL DONE TAN...YOU ARE A COCK....

Sun Feb 23, 2014 6:25 am

You managed (please see the irony) to get rid of the most successful Manager this club has ever seen for personal ego and replaced him with.......(please fill in the gaps).

Also you managed to split the fans...well done!

I'd love us to stay up, but to be honest if we don't make it, take a long hard look at yourself!

You'll be taking the plaudits if we survive......so equally take the BLAME if we don't!

I dont agree he split the fans.

It should be a no brainer, the fans should be united to oust the lunatic. Its the fans fault they are not united against him, not tans. That is just their own personal glory hunting tendancies stopping them doing whats right.

Roathy............it's evening for you and early morning for me, so please don't beat me too hard on pedantics.

The gist is not about splitting the fans......the gist is about TAN THE KNOB.....and in my opinion he is a complete one.

Thats not pedantic, im just saying that HE didnt split the fans did he. The fans split themselves.

Hes not a knob at all, what has he done wrong? He has no obligation to please the fans, he is a businessman acting in his own best interests - its what he is supposed to do....You let him. You cant now blame him.

He has no sense of footballing tradition and is a bad owner though, but that was clear from the start.

Coming back to the gist.....and trying to keep this thread on topic....

"Split the fans" was one line in four.....an important line, but by definition 25% of the post...

The other 75% was aimed at a guy who happens to have a shit load of money but can't seem to make a good footballing decision if it smacks him in the face.

Why? Cos he knows f**k all about football!

Agree with you.

Doesnt make him a knob though. He admitted not knowing anything about football when he came, yet you all welcomed him with open arms.

You cant complain now as far as im concerned. You knew what you were letting yourself in for and he received no opposition what so ever.

Malky took all the plaudits when we went up....if your honest about it,

and tan..yes he knows little about football..but knew enough to realise what at least 80% of our fans knew and that was milky couldnt cut it at prem level..

Yo Soul....I'm not looking for a fight, but I honestly believe Malky would have kept us up.

That's not saying OGS can't, but I believe we had more chance of surviving under Malky.

Roathy....I know you live on this forum to goad and get reaction, which fairplay, you've achieved by me responding.....but moving forward........do you think Tan has strengthened his position this football year?

Not tit for tat, a reasonable debate is welcomed, not often found on this board unfortunately!

Re: WELL DONE TAN...YOU ARE A COCK....

Oh dear cut all this malky crap...HE'S GONE! End of, we need to get behind the team, start singing, start supporting instead of winging on here!

By strengthened i mean in the eyes of the fans.

I was one of the few who backed him during the rebrand fiasco...........I don't back him now.

Re: WELL DONE TAN...YOU ARE A COCK....

This season has been one of his better ones. He has written £50m worth of cheques and paid off Sam.

Im amazed someone can support him ruining the clubs identity yet turn on him because you aren't doing well in the Prem.

we will never know....but it was horrible to watch........and considering how much he spent the squad is shite. .the negative vibes everywhere are doing my head in..i belong to a time where we never ever gave up, some of the garbage i heard yesterday turned my stomach..........mostly the love in with hull.......yes they sang youll always be blue,but they abused our players too..our fans these days see that as ok..just blame tan for everything..its crap

Stop fishing, what part of reasonable debate did you not quite grasp?

On a lighter note, how's your Italian? I'm off to Rome and need to get street savvy with the lingo. My son's learning Italian in school and the best he could give me was the translation for a strawberry!!!!! I despair!

But some of these reds are not pro Cardiff they are pro glory. Not all of the but many influential fans were spouting red or dead as an excuse to hide the fact they were prepared to back the rebrand and accept Tans grubby money just so they could enjoy premiership football. These fans wanted the glory and were prepared to sacrifice our colours so don,t preach that these fans are pro Cardiff because most of them are pro glory. Now that the glory train has been derailed, hoards of these fans who were prepared to prostitute our identity are not only feeling foolish but are now jumping Tans red ship (the titanic) at a rate of knots but the damage has been done. :ayatollah:

Splitting hairs between "Tan Split the Fans" with "The Fans Split Themselves" is pedantry in any ones language. The fans are split because of the direct actions of Tan.

Nonsense. They are completely different. Its like blaming Malky for Bellamys 3 match ban because Malky bought him.

There should be no split in the fanbase, none what so ever regardless of what Tan does. He fans should be united in defence of the clubs herritige, if some only care about faux glory then thats not tans fault.

No it's not. Bellamy's 3 match ban is not a direct response to the fact that Malky signed him.

Cardiff City Fans are united in their love for Cardiff City. They are split because of the differing responses to Tan's decision to change the kit colour and the badge.

But the difference in responses are down to their own moralistic stance or lack off when it comes to their club. Tan had backed down THE FANS ASKED for him to change his mind, so he did.

As fans they should be against any defacing of the club. If they werent then thats themselves they need to be taking a long hard look at and not the businessman who made clear his intentions PRIOR to being accepted with open arms.

Spot on. It was certain fans greed for premiership glory which required Tans grubby money that was at the heart of the problem. Some fans did not give a hoot about our colours or identity as long as we experienced the glory that was the premiership. There was no real red or dead, just fans using this as a convenient excuse to kid us all into thinking we would not have a club when their real goal was to experience the glory of the premiership at all costs. Now that the dream is likely to be over these fans are feeling ashamed and embarrassed but its too late now as the damage is done and you cannot put the genie back into the bottle. I fully expect these fans to turn their shame into making Tan their scapegoat but perhaps they should look a little closer to home.

The "Fans" are not a single entity. The "Fans" are 30,000 or so individuals with an uncommon love for Cardiff. In what other walk of life would 30,000 people react in a single way to a major change event? What was that change event? What we are seeing are the results of that change event.

As I said ,as have others, you are a pedant. You clearly love an argument presumably because you have little else to do. I do. I'm bored now. So I'll get on with other things. Toodle pip.
