Vincent Tan Is Responsible for 6 defeats in a row

Wed Jan 20, 2021 9:26 pm

It was all a bit different when things were going well, on the pitch, ayatollahs from the stand, regular video updates from Malaysia, remember them?

Now? No word, no contact, nothing. When did we last see him? We the paying customer have absolutely no idea what our football philosophy is, what our ambitions are, if there its a plan structurally, financial and on the playing side, we are not seeing it, does anybody know? ignorance is not bliss Mr Tan.

And if the rumours are true the hapless Neil Harris was Tans choice, hence why he is still in a job, when many bosses would have been sacked weeks ago. This is arrogant and very out of touch with the modern game If true.

We do not have a football man in the board room making the big decisions, this is the heartbeat of the problem before we get to Neil Harris. I am grateful for the financial support from Mr tan in the past, its no doubt saved us from some possible serious positions. But I haven't really enjoyed a consistent style of football with a definite philosophy since Dave Jones which was pre-Tan. So to me we have earned this tag as a spoiler team, a "you know what your going to get" team, a physical, long throw, set piece, chase the game when its to late team under his ownership, under his managers. I will rejoice the day I start to enjoy our style of football again.

Please come forward and communicate with us VT, if its good or bad news, just put your customers in the picture, as to whats going on and the plans for our club. I don't care who appointed him, start by replacing Neil Harris ASAP, you finally listened regarding the horrendous change to red, (though I despise the wiggly worm) you reversed that, its time for another major reversal.

Harris will never get a job like this again. Harris is a weasel who will do anything to cling onto this job. Leyton Orient is his level

Totally agree. The 3 main individuals on the board only deal with Cardiff on a part time basis. We needed a Director of Football years ago. Look how good the Norwich Director of Football is compared to the football knowledge on our Board. We lack identity, and if you had a Director he would have a list of potential candidates, when we sack Harris. I have no confidence they would pick the right candidate.

I mentioned this silence last week...because we are not going thru the turnstiles...the fans dont matter...see what happens when the crowds are back and season ticket sales drop...you reap what you sow.

Who suggests this is about football ? Please, spare me the game went years ago just because we but ST's or turn up are we not missing the point ? The pandemic has just highlighted where football is/was
