Does Tan really interfere ??

Some on here saying managers won't touch us because Tan interferes with the team etc..
Not sticking up for Tan but has anyone got proof that he does or is it just hearsay and made up bollocks ?

I'd think he is to busy, I bet a load of managers would jump at the chance to spend what Malky and Ole have.

From what I see on here....it's just gossip that grows as it goes.

Exactly, how many times have we seen nonsense like that being disproven over the last few months, people make up bollocks to suit whatever agenda they are pushing.

Exactly it's clearly made up lies and the ones who have said it cannot back up the claim.
Serial liars they are

His reputation doesn't help though.

The chairman and chief executive runs the business like with any other company, Tan maybe the biggest shareholder but living thousands of miles away (in a different time zone) makes it a bit difficult to be in day to day control!

Got to be one of the worst human traits.

Well I'm sure he doesn't exactly pick the team I wouldn't mind betting he's spoken to Malky in the past & encouraged him to play the odd player!
Only guessing on my part but he did tell Marshall to shoot more often!!

His reputation doesn't help though.

And who 'built' that "reputation" for him, eh??

Couldn't possibly have been the agenda-filled misinformants on here (mostly now gone, thankfully) over the last few years, could it??

A highly accomplished businessman in his own arena that "took a punt" on a Championship football club, massively in debt, in turmoil and close to going to the wall. He turned the club around, cleared the debt, cleared out some of the sycophants that had attached themselves to the ship's hull, and then financed a successful push to the Premier League!

He did, however, make ONE mistake. He changed the colour! Certainly not a good (or wise) move and it seems some will simply not see beyond that, despite recent evidence that Tan has actually been vindicated in much else of what he has done at the CCS

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee, fella. The "Red/Blue" situation will one day work itself out (maybe from Vincent Tan, but more likely from a future owner) but an owner with this finances and business wherewithal may NEVER be seen again at OUR club!

If you (and others) want to drive him away, I guess that is your agenda, but personally I want him to stay and oversee our trip back to the Premier League and (I know this won't sit well with others) I think the guy has learned from his football naivety and has recently made some sound decisions on behalf of Cardiff City FC

Backing Malky and his own (now departing) manager, Ole, in the transfer markets is to his credit and we were once again "the biggest spending club in the Chamionship" over the summer! Hardly his fault that the manager (Ole) just couldn't cut it!

At least, contrary to what I thought would happen, he HAS taken that decision in time to put someone in place with the majority of the season to go! Being honest, I thought he would be reluctant to act quickly because Ole was HIS ManUre-linked appointment)

All sounds reasonable to me but, of course, I forget we are still playing in red!

Actually, I don't forget...and I certainly don't like! BUT, there is a far wider picture here and the guy (Tan) appears to be getting a grip on things at the helm

Don't "diss" the guy too much, as you just might miss him when/if he eventually decides to go!

I later admitted SOME sadly are; and by that I mean the ones that continue to deny they were actually wrong in the first place and still try to stir things up!

i have no agenda's and nor have I filled misinformation here! I'm not a pro blue nor a pro red. I'm just stating the obvious... His reputation is not good hence managers have doubt joining us and it's true!

U asked who built that reputation... He built it himself!! U can't blame the others!

Tan has earned his own reputation.

Tan does interfere with the management, I will leave it there.

All I am interested in at the moment, who will be our next manager?

Lets be honest anyone can say that. Has any manager or assistant come out with tan interferes with team selection? if yes who?

From what I see on here....it's just gossip that grows as it goes.

Exactly, how many times have we seen nonsense like that being disproven over the last few months, people make up bollocks to suit whatever agenda they are pushing.

If is gossip and lies because theres no hard evidence then your claiming it does not go on well wheres your hard evidence again you have none so its vice versa which neither is bollocks as neither have evidence its nothing to do with agenda's its what people are told who only pass it on as online info

I cant prove it isn't happening but nobody at the club past or present has come out saying Tan interferes. so i believe its just made up just to discredit Tan as the ones who keep repeating that he has interfered have not offered concrete evidence to back up their claim..
