ALL THIS TAN BASHING......

Sun Feb 23, 2014 8:42 am

Why now? Curious timing of such revolt.

If you were in the top 10, would Tan and the rebrand be getting this much stick? No way.

You were loving it when he took over, loving it when you were promoted, loving it when he was writing the cheques at the beginning of the season..... Yet NOW you are annoyed. What changed?

Im not sure how much the rebrand has to do with it, i think its more of a fact you are not very good. Otherwise surely you would be this outraged 2 years ago?

I made this exact point yesterday. People using the rebrand as an excuse. One guy on here even said he left after the 3rd goal yesterday because he cant stand us playing in red!!

Lots of glory boys on this site who have never been through a relegation battle.

good points by both of you. For a successful rebrand it was paramount that the team was successful. Only a > 50million player investment was not enough. Most fnas being thick as shit was well known to Tan & his cronies.

Exactly why I think you are seeing blue at the clubshops, to keep the fans in a state-of-mind that can be controlled. Typical mind-control techniques.

"Charismatic leaders use every trick in the book to manipulate your emotions. They mesmerize you with the way they dress and talk. They guilt trip you. They make impossible promises and horrific threats. And they always build you up into a vulnerable, irrational frenzy right before they hit you with an ultimatum."

Vincent Tan summed up nicely, all successful people utilise some form of mind control technique.

No , I thought the whole red or dead offer was a disgrace . If the guy wanted to invest it should have been in to cardiff city , accepting the traditions of the club . Hull aside , just like 100% of all of the other foreign owners of uk clubs. Not coming in and making wholesale changes with no fan consultation . It's laughable that some fans ( some well known ones) actually bought the whole Asian marketing bollocks . The changes were to cater for the personal preferences of our mad owner . I first started watching cardiff in the mid to late 90's and remember the term 'sleeping giant' being frequently used . Unfortunately the giant awoke and was dressed in a clowns suit before being sent on to the world stage . We are a broken club and the laughing stock of uk football and it's down to that man .

He had already invested the £6m which part was paid to HRMC to stave off the winding up orders.

At the time of the rebrand, it was not red or dead.

I'm sure someone will put me right but has a modern day football club actually gone pop . Recall aldershot and Scarborough going decades ago , but in the modern day ? Worst case I can think of is Pompey and they still have a club
