BREAKING: VINCENT TAN SPEAKS TO talkSPORT JIM WHITE
Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2022 9:53 am
Vincent Tan spoke to talkSPORT's Jim White this morning and it was very interesting to be fair.
He said Gareth was 'open' to the move and he was open to playing/helping his home town club (of which he and his family were fans) but ultimately the commercial considerations of the LAFC move were way too strong
He also saw the humour in his own affiliation with LAFC, where at one point he provided over 50% of the initial set up finances (40% his and 10%+ for one of the Asian investors)
Politically, left open the door for a future role but avoided the question (I felt) when asked about his own commitment to the club by simply referring to the 'non financial' implications had Bale joined
He also said Gareth had told the club 'in person' of his LAFC decision and today's revelations show both men (Bale and Tan) in an honest light
Simon Jordan now repeating he was never going to be a player to take us out of the Championship over 46 games and would have been a circus act; although it has raised the media profile of the club...
