TIME FOR TAN TO ADMIT HE IS WRONG. CARDIFF CITY ON THE SLIDE.

Wed 17th Sept 14

Vincent Tan: Hero to villain in one season. Is it time for him to hire an experienced manager?

Cardiff City fans are absolutely furious following the events of the last couple of years and the supporters are mostly blaming just one man – Vincent Tan.

Tan took over at the Welsh club at a time when Cardiff City looked like folding with the tax office looking to punish them for failure to pay their outstanding tax bills.

Fans were thoroughly relieved when Malaysian investor Vincent Tan decided to bail them out and start to move the club in the right direction.

Cardiff failed to get to the Premier League after losing in the playoff final to Blackpool. That was the start of the controversy with an unlucky Cardiff City failing yet again to make it into the top flight.

Tan decided that red was a luckier colour than blue and ordered a rebrand of the club leading to the fury of many fans, a backlash which caused Tan to consider an about turn.

However, Tan played a masterstroke and promised to turn Cardiff’s huge debts into equity as well as build a new training ground and make improvements to the infrastructure of the club. A few influential supporters begged other fans to accept the rebrand and preached doom and disaster should the Cardiff faithful reject Tan and his crazy idea to throw away Cardiff’s proud tradition of playing.

Many fans reluctantly accepted the changes and let Tan have full control of his new toy after pleas from tearful self proclaimed fans’ leaders and glory-hunting fanboys. Many resisted though and still do. You can see them after 19 minutes and 27 seconds during every Cardiff game proudly wearing blue and chanting their defiance.

Following promotion to the Premier League, Cardiff find themselves back in The Championship with even bigger debts, a massive squad and a manager who is failing to take the league by storm.

City fans all wear blue now and can see that there has been no debt to equity deal and there has been a big increase in debts.

Basically Cardiff are in a worse position than before the rebrand. Now Tan seem’s reluctant to hire a proven manager to rescue The Bluebirds and take them straight back to the Premier League.

Cardiff have now lost two home games in a row playing pretty boring football. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is putting out rather unusual teams that change week in week out and many people believe that it is time to hire someone like Tony Pulis to rescue Cardiff’s season.

Cardiff fans are furious and so they should be. Their club is now a laughingstock. Ask any Bristol City or Swansea fan.

Ask our two biggest rivals if we are a laughing stock? Lmao, well they are hardly going to say we're a superb example of what a football club should be! Haha
