Season of abject failure for 'lucky red' Cardiff City

I'm sure this won't win me any popularity contests on here but this is my honest take on the club's relegation.

was mostly very fair comment.........the cut and run scenario with Tan has never made an ounce of sense though.........he sells all the players he can,takes the TV money......and then?..he does still own the club..........
does he withdraw from the pyramid system?
he could of course sell the club for peanuts,IF anyone was interested in a club with no revenue and no players... my honest opinion is and has been for ages, is if he is so pissed off to liquidate assets and keep the TV,season ticket money....he is also likely to be pissed off enough to sink us.....and if its withdraw from the pyramid system,its welsh league 1st stop for whoever tries to create a new club, and a million and 1 maybees

A bit if an overreaction at the end there.
He is a businessman and would never want the humiliation and horrendous bad worldwide press that he would get by dissolving a now relatively famous football league club.
His business standing wouldn't allow it.

do you really think the world press would really care if a championship club went to the wall?........he seems not much bothered about our media constantly making up stories,and using terms like clown and circus.....the odd peragraph here and there about the demise of one of thousands of pro clubs is hardly going to ruin his rep is it..........but go on, he sells all the assets,keeps TV and ST money......we are now left with players that nobody wants and kids and no revenue.....no buyer..what next?
i am a Cardiff fan, but Tan isnt,or welsh, the real answer is to close.......its what you or i would do with a business that was purely a business that for whatever reason had become a burden..

It will become clearer in a few months.

That would be nice. I do feel that there will be more questions being asked. So many questions that it makes me feel it will be a clear as mud.

It is strongly rumoured that Tan wants out. I would put money on that. Thing is how is he going to get out. The favourite thinking amongst us is he will asset strip then cut his loss. Personally I feel he will put enough back in to make us feasable and that being we will be promotional challenging material. He will get more of a return that way and a bit more of a honourable leaving present. Thats 2 scenarios but I have a feeling there are going to be a lot more.

I have predicted the cut and run scenario for a long time.
He must be pissed off with demonstrations And chanting " Tan is a wanker".
