' Vincent Tan Jets In For Talks At CCS Next Week '

Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan will be in attendance for Mark Hudson's crunch meeting over his future as Bluebirds boss.

The Welsh club put on a fantastic display at the Stadium of Light, despite only beating Sunderland by the marginal scoreline of just 1-0 thanks to Mark Harris' goal. Joe Ralls' early penalty miss was another reason the margin wasn't bigger, mind you.

Nevertheless, it was a hugely-positive display in the north east, just before Hudson is set to meet with the club's owner and board over the permanency of his position.

Tan is understood to be in the UK on business and is expected to be in Cardiff next week for the first time since May 4, 2019, the Bluebirds' last home game of their Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace. He is also likely to be in attendance when the Bluebirds host Hull on Tuesday evening.

"Yeah, I think he is coming across," Hudson said when asked if Tan would be in attendance at Cardiff next week. "I think everyone will be there, so that should be good.

"It will be nice for the fans and the club to have some clarity and that together approach, which is what everyone wants. Obviously when you win away at Sunderland it's always nice!"

Cardiff were good value for their win, controlling the first hour before Sunderland produced an onslaught late on after the visitors made substitutions.

On the game, interim boss Hudson said: "We dominated the first half, the only thing that was missing was the goal. Second half, we knew they were a good side and we knew we were going to suffer a little bit in certain moments.

"The shape change helped us, we had to defend together and we did that.

"I had full faith in the team. I thought all the attacking players deserved to be on the pitch. I thought we could create and we did that, with the qualities they've all got."

If Hudson overseeing that performance was timely ahead of meeting Tan, Mark Harris scoring the winning goal just four days before Rob Page names his World Cup squad is just as fitting.

"You want your strikers to score goals. He works so hard for the team, on and off the pitch," he said of Harris. "He missed the one in the first half but I told him it would come. And he made an instinctively good run on the blind side, I'm delighted for him.

"His energy and work ethic is excellent. He has worked so hard this week, so to do it again."

The only downside to the day was the 94th-minute booking of Cedric Kipre following a scuffle with Elliot Embleton. It means the Ivorian is now out of Tuesday's clash with Hull after picking up his fifth yellow of the campaign.

Speaking of his conversation with the referee after the match, Hudson added: "I asked him and he said they came together and there was a bit of grappling. Then, ultimately, they went to floor, which happens, but he booked them both which means Cedric is suspended.

"That gives another opportunity for someone to come in and do well."

Hopefully, Vincent Tan will provide clarity on a few things Cardiff City FC; but it sounds like he is coming over to the UK with his 'other' business interests as his priority

That is 'hopefully', but it won't stop the Karl-Heinz Rumourmongers on here telling us what he's up to without foundation...

Who really knows, Allan...?

No assumptions from me, as anything and nothing is possible and we'll be the last to know...

Hes here for take over talks 100%

Thanks, Paul

If a takeover was really happening I doubt they’d give Hudson a contract. I believe they would play it out until it it happened

Only the media are saying he's getting a contract .

Who says he is? We've put 2+2 and got 4 but could be 5?
End season maybe..

If he's selling soon surely the managerial appointment is for the next owner.

Only the media are saying he's getting a contract .

And only the board was saying a takeover is happening

Hudson also has been given a slight indication that he’ll be here for a while yet

Tan wouldn’t come over just to give Hudson a contract,there must be other issues.

Hes here for take over talks 100%

Good

Tan wouldn’t come over just to give Hudson a contract,there must be other issues.

It says 'on business.'

Hope it is for takeover talks

I thouht he came over monthly , too London at least . To check on his (much more profitable) businesses !

Hes here for take over talks 100%

Really?

Christmas shopping Matalan and Primark

Are fans going to applaud him for turning up if he does happen to make it to hull game
or start protesting i thinkunk if we had lost saturday we would be hearing a negative chanting "tan out" etc

He is here to do business in London and is popping in to Cardiff. I cant see where the crunch talks come into it

He is here to do business in London and is popping in to Cardiff. I cant see where the crunch talks come into it

Could be business talks in London re takeover?

Christmas shopping Matalan and Primark

That's more realistic than some posts.

The honest answer is we simply don't know; but as I alluded, it won't stop the regulars from summising...

Confirmation of whether he is going to watch the game on Saturday would be a good start

Beyond that, we will wait, see and (likely) be underwhelmed in our expectations

If Vince is at the CCS on Tuesday, Allsop better score a hat trick or else he's shark food.

You can’t be underwhelmed if you listen to my post. If you start believing he is here for takeover talks you are either gullible or setting yourself up to be disappointed.

No one is underwhelmed and no one thinks you are the sage who informed us Vincent Tan will be here for business other than football

Read my post in immediate response to the OP's, fella...

Then read others posted BEFORE your own revelation...

You should cut a record and call it 'The Great Pretender'

Oh, hang on, that one's been done before, too...!

Below in an excerpt from Berjaya Corp Bhd (BCorp) chairman Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun's statement in the company's latest annual report, which was filed with Bursa Malaysia on Monday (Oct 31).

BCorp has remained resilient and improved our financial performance in a challenging year that saw global economic downturn brought on by geopolitical tensions, global supply chain disruptions and post-pandemic uncertainties.

Being a global consumer group, BCorp was able to adapt and prove that we are both robust and extremely flexible in overcoming these challenges. The unique experiences we deliver to our customers, the strength and equity of our people and brand, and the trust we built with our partners and stakeholders are the reasons we achieved successes in a time when we were forced to adapt to very adverse circumstances. While it was certainly challenging in many ways, it also showed how resilient we are as a group even in the toughest of times.

Despite a challenging operating environment, the group delivered better performance for the financial year ended June 30, 2022. These exceptional and unprecedented times have moulded us to emerge stronger.

In line with the group’s three-year strategic plan, we have since streamlined our businesses into four business segments, namely Retail (Food and Non-Food), Hospitality, Property and Services, to remain focused as a consumer group.

Although the operating environment remains challenging and volatile, I am optimistic about the future as the group is making good progress with its three-year strategic plan as reflected by our achievements during the financial year under review. Moving forward, the group remains focused on its strategy to future-proof its businesses, and at the same time, continue to explore and invest in business opportunities around the region and globally.

Interesting his business has a three year strategic plan when his football club don’t even have a three week strategic plan!!!

Tan is obviously a good business man and has been for years judging by the success of his huge and varied business empire. Yet his football club is a shambles and is losing him millions every year.

It’s all very bizarre and extremely strange
