there are at least 30 worse owners than VT it's only because of the rebrand that he is on any list, the 9 on the list are money grabbing shysters (allegedly) :laughing6:

Is this some sick joke?? VT on the same list as John Batchelor and that Darlington bloke ?!

They raped, defrauded and pillaged and he changed the colour of a jersey and a badge!

The worse is some 'fans' are happy about it!

I have too agree, as much as I disagree with what Tan has done to the club and how he conducted himself this season, he isn't the worst chairman ever to take control of a football club

Tan's waaaaaaaay beter than anyone else on that list.


They put him above the MK Dons owner who did exactly the same as Tan but on a much larger scale.

some actually believe it............i know it a while back but what about Wimbledon.....name change and a 60 mile relocation....Tan doesnt come close

I find that quite offensive.

I hate the rebrand but there are convicted and soon to be convicted criminals on that list along with a racist and a tonne of potential fraudsters.

Tan may not be the worst Chairman on the list, but lets not forget he's no saint either.

He's stripped us of our 100 year identity, made us a laughing stock to the rest of the sporting world, split the fan base to the point of violence, and put us £150 million in debt (or there about).

He certainly wouldn't win any prizes for best Chairman.

As I said :(

Sorry pembroke allan but there's more to supporting a football club than just glory. It's a life sentence no matter what division your team is in and I'd rather support my club in the bottom division and run as a football club should be with it's traditions in place, than in the Premier league in a kit that makes us unrecognisable and £150m in debt.

Most people just want the club to be in it's traditional identity. Surely any football fan can understand that.

Of course I can. But to me our identity is much more than just a colour.

What I can't understand is the attitude of some people, like the 'if you want a red club f**k off' poster.

No-one wants a red club, we just want out club doing well on and -more importantly- off the pitch. If it takes a colour change to achieve that, then surely that's a small price to pay. Surely any football fan can understand that.

of course. Two major parts of it have been trampled on with no regard to supporters feelings, so you can surely understand why some fans hold VT in a rather dim light.

What I can't understand is the attitude of some people, like the 'if you want a red club f**k off' poster.

your post about blue clubs was just as ridiculous.

No-one wants a red club, we just want out club doing well on and -more importantly- off the pitch. If it takes a colour change to achieve that, then surely that's a small price to pay. Surely any football fan can understand that.

club traditions and identity are far more important to this club than short term success on the field. Doing well off the pitch? The club is in more debt than ever, scarily so. I cannot fathom how anyone can say that we are doing better off the pitch, especially with a split in the fan base as big as the one at Cardiff is.

I'm sorry, but no. I cannot understand your happiness to trade the identity of this club for some short term success & a bigger debt than ever before.

First off, traditions are born and die all the time. My dad was disgusted when he saw some young 'hooligans' tapping their head back in the 90s. If everyone thought about traditions like you do, then the Ayatollah would have never caught on.

Secondly, you can't seriously believe we're now in a worse condition off the pitch since Tan took over ?!?
Have you seen any winding-up orders lately?
Have you seen any staff being paid late?
Have you seen any players been airlifted as a cut-price sale to other clubs?
Have you seen any jumped-up Scottish knobheads publicly ridiculing us on Sky television and asking for their money back?

No you haven't. Instead you've seen financial stability and continuous investment in the team and facilities on an unprecedented level.

As for the 'debt', how can you call it that when no interest is charged, no repayments are being made and no claims lie against it ??

There's debt and there's 'debt' :
Owing 100 mill to someone with an active interest in the club who intends to exchange it for equity is MUCH BETTER than owing 40 mill to some anonymous hedge-fund who want to recoup their money to their best interests, or to the HMRC who won't hesitate to wind us up in order to get their pound of flesh.

I'm sorry but I think your hatred of Tan has blinkered you so much that you cant see the reality of the situation.

Agree with Pembroke Allan can't understand anyone who would want us to fail. Will you be cheering the opposition if we're near the end of the season and looking good for promotion?? :shock:

I've seen some bizarre justifications for the rebrand in the past, but this one of the most daft.

have you seen our debt level? You do realise that it will have to be paid off at some point? How do you suggest that is going to happen? He's already confirmed that he won't do a full debt to equity, as he originally promised a few years ago.

No you haven't. Instead you've seen financial stability and continuous investment in the team and facilities on an unprecedented level.

continuous loans, which will have to be paid back at some point.

As for the 'debt', how can you call it that when no interest is charged, no repayments are being made and no claims lie against it ??

how can I call it a debt? Because that is what it is! :lol: if someone lent a friend £200, he would be in debt to his friend to the level of £200. Just because he isn't chagrin interest, doesn't mean it isn't a debt.

There's debt and there's 'debt' :

to say that things are going the right way, when the debt level has increased by such dramatic levels, is naive or just plain daft.

I'm sorry but I think your hatred of Tan has blinkered you so much that you cant see the reality of the situation.

absolutely not. I'm struggling to see how we are any better under his ownership. In my opinion, we are worse off.

It's not a justification for the rebrand, just an observation that things change, every tradition is born at some time and dies at some other time. You seem to believe that traditions are ever-present and unchangeable, which is plainly wrong.

you seem to be concerned about our debt-level. I've already explained that this isn't external, toxic debt to some third party who'll wind us up if they don't get their money this time next year. This is an investment, lent directly by the major shareholder to the club to fund improvements and expansion. If the club does well he'll exchange the money for equity. That's how safe, solid investments work. And, btw, you won't find any investors who don't charge interest on their money.


Barry Chuckle wrote:continuous loans, which will have to be paid back at some point.


they will be paid back as equity when the time is right. There is no other way, the club can't pay back at this point and Tan knows that so it's in his interest that the club is successful.

Seriously did you expect Tan - or any owner- to be putting money in as gift to the club??? Or did you expect him to not put any money in at all? Please tell me, because I'm baffled: which situation would please you?

someone lends you £200 and say they want it back next year. That's a debt.

someone lends you £200 to build up your business and say that if the business does well they'll want a stake in it.That's an investment.

someone lends you £200 and say 'keep it, I dont want it back'. That's charity.

Which situation do you think we're in ?
