Cardiff City and Vincent Tan – where do we go from here?


Vincent Tan. The most hated man in Cardiff. The most loved in Swansea. Adored across Malaysia, hated across the UK. Unfortunately, it looks like Cardiff City are stuck with him. But what could he do? What next for Vinny?

1.He sells up.

In all honesty, this is my favoured option. He’s turned Cardiff City into a completely unrecognisable entity. The kit has gone, the fan base has been torn apart and he’s offended all with a huge lack of respect for the traditions of this football club. He’s taken us further into debt, though he promises to turn around a third of this into equity, and the club’s finances are as perilous as ever.

Him leaving would give us a fresh start and a chance to go back to blue. But how likely is it? Unless we find a seriously rich benefactor who can buy him out and have enough cash left over to run the club. Do get in touch now.


2.He changes to kit back to blue.

This is my second choice. Vincent Tan would be a hero if he hadn’t changed the badge and kit. It destroyed all credibility he had as owner of our football club.

He’s done some good in his time at the club; overseeing players like Caulker and Medel come in, financed a promotion and a stadium expansion. But people cannot see past the offensiveness of his rebrand. Returning us to blue would go some way to repair the damage he has caused. Though I fear too much has happened for many to return.


3.He stays. And so does the red.

This is, unfortunately, the most likely option. He’s invested too much to walk away now and he is too deep to give up on his project. We are his play thing and he’s going to play at promotion again. Fans will continue to protest/reluctantly accept the red and the club will stay a mess. His talk of compromise will never materialise and we will stay in debt.

The future’s bleak, the future’s Vincent. The present is even more bleak. The past is shameful.

The most hated man in Cardiff????

He's not even the most hated man on this messageboard

The future is only bleak if the agenda is allowed to continue. How bizarre that this article appears to practically completely counter act the positive article that just became a sticky. hmmmmmm, coincidence?

The Metro- a soapbox for a rant for anyone who can string a sentence together and this article is only just that.

Be nice to read something new - something positive - someone who has an actual proposal of how we can move forward without putting the Cardiff City at risk of becoming another zombie club.

I'm with the 'wear blue' protest, just keep rubbing it in. Promoted by guys who love the club and want to act positively without damaging the football club. Let's face it VTY is the only billionaire who has ever taken an interest in us, so maybe better to try to allow him a face saving way to correct his mistake than to force him out.

Amnis/ Carl this article is a disgrace and utter nonsense local charities benefitted last year to a total of 1 million pounds. Yes Tan needs to step back and adjust our color issues but to say he's the most hated man in Cardiff is total dogs shit. There is no way this should be on the message board let alone a sticky. Let's stick to the blue return but we don't need people like this clowns help.

his preferred option ends with.................how likely is it?.unless we can find a seriously rich benefactor that can buy him out and have enough left to run the club.......do get in touch.............
so option one..the preferred one is dont really give two hoots about the club...as long as the extremists chase Tan out.......wicked.....
same old same old with the anti Tan brigade...........no answers and dont care.........

to be honest I'm beginning to think Tan cares more about this club than some certain message board 'leaders'

I've got to agree with Dannyblue

Ridiculous to suggest that VT is the most hated man in Cardiff. Doesn't give this article any credibility at all, sadly.

Total bullshit.
If we were blue everybody would love him.
That's the only thing he's done wrong .

Totally shit article.Christ,its right up there with that article praising Malky for his revolutionary attacking philosophy.

and there you have it................the real divide........those that are blue but dont want to damage the club.........
and those that want blue and dont care how much damage they do in the process...........
i dont think its even about blue anymore for some,they want to turn it into a pissing contest and beat him.......

What a load of nonsense being peddled on this board towards VT.
Propaganda overload,give it a rest ffs.

Why don't you change your name to "Blue or fook off Chief"

why don't u f**k off nuclear tw*t

We are Cardiff City We'll always be blue.
Nough said


Sorry love the investment. If we had been in BLUE we would have stayed up nd Vinney would have had ultimate fan base BLUEBIRDS

someone's tired

I honestly couldn't give a flying f**k what the jacks think of our owner, team or fans.
I mean really why bring them up? They got f**k all to do with us

These anti tan threads and getting a bit monotonous now!

Ridiculous to suggest that VT is the most hated man in Cardiff. Doesn't give this article any credibility at all, sadly.

Well said Mr. Chuckle admiration for that one.
We can fight for blue without resorting to lies and propaganda. Publishing articles such as this will create a further divide and not solidarity.

I just cannot believe some of the Pro - Tan posters on here. It makes me cringe.

For me (A city fan since 1969) The OP is right on most of his points.

Tan has single handedly Fu-ked the History, passion, alienated fan's, talked arrogantly about us fan's, made us a laughing stock, will not listen, will not loose face, lied about equity, thinks we are all fools that he can pull the wool over our eyes.

Wake up FFS.

His only asset to Cardiff city is MONEY - and he thinks money can buy him anything (respect - NO)

His advisers, whoever they are, if he has anything other than company yes men, either cannot be doing their job in advising him on serious issues or Tan is even more arrogant then we all know he is, in ignoring all the advice.

What gets me more than anything, is that it could and should have been so much different if Tan had just listened and used his brain a bit, he could have been a hero not a ZERO.

When are you Tan loving posters (yes you are entitled to your opinion and i will defend you on that) going to stop seeing this Greedy arrogant man for what he is and what he has inflicted on us.

Bring on the abuse, you are the ones who are still betraying the Bluebirds and CCFC -(fu-king redbirds ) some of us stand up for what we believe in and say so. A lot of things are much much much more important than Money.

FFS Vincent, why don't you listen and learn.

Blooobirds Forever !!!

I believe Adolf Hitler made much more money available to good causes in his program of indoctrination.An awful lot of people were taken in by that bullshit as well.

So you compare Tan to a fuch#ng Hitler. Sums
you up as the type of reader the metro need.
Proof is in the pudding, next time you happen to chat with some unfortunate from Ty Haven. Bobath Cymru or likewise remind them Tans the most hated man in Cardiff. He's not even the most hated man amongst the majority of supporters. No one's perfect and that includes Tan but comparing him with Hitler is beyond understanding.Im sure statements like yours will persuade him to change to blue. Oh! Perhaps not.

The future is only bleak if the agenda is allowed to continue. How bizarre that this article appears to practically completely counter act the positive article that just became a sticky. hmmmmmm, coincidence?

Hmm Nat and guess what it wasnt me who put it up, as I was flying back to Britain.

All news as Ive told you before gets put up, good or bad on City,Tan and football, find some good on your mate Tan and we will put it up.
