ONLY TWO QUESTIONS?

Sun Jan 21, 2024 9:41 am

(1) Do we actually know for definite that the club is not trying to sign players? We will only know in 10 days time!
(2) Where can we find someone dull enough to buy City that Vincent Tan will sell too?

As worrying as this is Rog, I’m going to look at it after the transfer window. I’m praying that EB gets what he wants and personally, I hope he stays.
If someone really wants to put the pressure on Tan I’d like them to come out and say ‘I want to buy Cardiff City’.

Totally agree with you. As you’ve stated there’s 2 or 3 done deals that just need a bit of time, Salamanca left his Monaco home to sort them out so a lot of evidence the club are trying. We just need to be a bit more patient and wait.

I think they are but due to FFP there is little money available to spend.

Well I know someone who would buy but Tan id like a spoiled child when it comes to this buyer.

Why doesn’t this person come out and state his intentions publicly? That would surely turn up the heat on VT.

If they are desperately trying to sign players, they have not told Erol

Maybe they have but Erol thinks they should offer more cash to get them in quicker.

Rog, I think it might be a bit of a power play btwn we know who??

It’s taken longer to bring players in and like EB has stated they should have been in when the window opened. However certain clubs are holding onto their players until the last minute and little issues with the paperwork etc are delaying things?

It’s a case of waiting until the window closes but I believe the last few days will see numerous deals across the board done when the dominoes fall.

Andrew, as with any potential purchaser in any sphere, you need both sides to engage in a conversation and the person in possession is far more able to call the shots

Prehaps erol has been found out, a few on have and are questioning his ability. Maybe he’s now trying to deflect the blame elsewhere.

Ah in that case, I’ve worked out who the ‘potential buyer’ is. Cheers Chris.

Who is it?

We all know that the one man who was repeat was interested has sailed his ship far far away ask Annis.

Everything is a mess but what could happen if Mr Tan says " bollocks to you no more money "?
I cannot believe that Dalman has laughed in our faces again, he is the one that needs ousting.

Just please don’t ever sell up to Hammam, Mr Tan.

But what if tan gave Dalman the ok to say to EB that he’d be supported in January, then changed his mind (for whatever reason). Certainly not beyond the realms of possibility mate.

According to some Dalman was now running the show with his money in also ( at crazy interest no doubt ) and Erroll was ready with players to sign. Once again the politician has struck, still time left so who knows.

Who knows indeed mate. Let’s hope all ends up well in the next week or so.
