IS THIS DELIBERATE BY TAN ?

Mon Apr 14, 2025 6:36 pm

I cannot get my head around why you would just watch the club you own crash out of the division knowing the full implications financially ,
and what happened to any thought of promotion, we know bulut was dalhmans choice and riza is tans.

Is there some spite mixed in here towards fans or dalhman.

If dalhman was there sat surely he can see his money also going down the sh.tter
It's all very strange to me tan has usually pulled the plug on a sh.t manager but is prepared to let riza take us down. "WHY" ?

This is a question most of us are asking, it's so shockingly bad at all levels you wonder is anyone running this football club.

Sent everyone the 125th celebration key ring , wallet and pin to remember it all in later years. It’s all a bit fishy. He might be one of them sick fks that gets off on seeing us suffer. Wanking his tiny oriental cock off and laughing at us.

I have been saying for months that Tan is deliberately ruining the club,I still believe this now,he is a meglamaniac from a culture we don't understand and has unlimited money.

I have had that question lingering in the back of my mind since Russell Slades appointment. I was ridiculed by my mates and then Warnock came in and got us promoted. But after replacing him with Harris, Mad mick and Morison , the question returned to my brain and had been lodged there ever since! Not just because of what’s going on now.

Remember, Malaysian culture, honour and how blue is negative over there. Our protests then the colour reversal, was the dishonour to him? I’m Sure he sees us as ungrateful. “They have Always been blue but where has it got them”

I still think there’s something in this, he’s not your normal businessman tycoon, very unusual. Even saying he’s going to give away his wealth.

I dread and believe he is with us for a good few years yet because of the honour he speaks of and how he pledged to leave us in a better place. If he stays- Unless he makes drastic changes and takes a new direction and employs football men across the board and rids of Dalman Choo and Nash I will continue to oppose him.

It’s been announced today that the court case v Nantes is scheduled for 22nd September. A lot at stake and the potential of up to 120m is probably his only focus at present.

Exactly Monty
Very very confusing
I left that game Saturday feeling sick in the stomach and couldn’t speak to anyone for 3 hours
We need to be heard

Firstly tan does not have unlimited finances..... does anyone actually believe he would deliberately lose £150m+ to spite people he doesn't give a toss about? Agree there's something very odd about the situation regarding riza and Dalman cannot be happy at the situation because he knows consequences of relegation and be surprised if tan doesn't know either...only way know why tan has not sacked riza is to ask tan himself because there's not one owner who would not have sacked him after Leeds game not only because of result but results in general.... tan is a very strange person who defies all footballing logic and rationale and who is blindly allowing relegation and the loss of a £150m investment happen.

I don't think the failure is deliberate, I think it's the opposite.

I think he is so disillusioned by experienced footballers that he is going solo. He has been involved for 15 years, won 2 promotions, 2 relegations, and spent countless millions on players, contracts, and sackings. IMO, he thinks he is an expert, and he is doing it his way.

Sheer arrogance, he probably thinks Riza, his chosen one, will somehow get him out of this and prove "football men" are snake oil salesmen that are overvalued, overpaid, and unneeded.

The club will be worth less to buy in Div 1 or is the plan to run the club into the ground ???

Tony you mean plan to throw away £150m ? Because that's what running into ground equates too...

I think it's for the same reason he hasn't sold us and taken a loss on his money. He doesn't want to admit he's got it wrong or that he's a loser

Riza was his choice and when we fianlly gave him the job it was on the back of a terrible losing run.

I'd imagine he was appointed by Tan with many advising against it.

Tan is stubborn which is a pattern that has meant he won't appoint another director of football after being stung by iain moody and Malky. How many more millions has that cost him over time.

Unfortunately he will watch us go down on blind faith that he knows best, the stars will aline and Riza will turn into Guardiola.

The talent of managers out of work at the moment and we've got someone who's only experience is to get a team relegated!

Would Tan put a CEO in charge of any of his other companies who's only experience was to make them bankrupt. Then when history repeats itself stick with them. :banghead:

Harris got us to the playoffs.

Mick not only got us out of relegation trouble but we flirted with the playoffs after winning 11/13 wasn’t it?

Morison was actually building something I think. We fans just don’t have the patience.

Us fans keep saying we want a young and progressive manager, Tan is trying to find that too. Clearly Riza is not it nor is Trollope but you can see what he’s trying to find.

This I believe is his only focus. He's relying on winning to get his money back then he'll sell up for £50m.

Regards leaving us in a better place when he sells...... well that's gone down the pan with his promise of making Cardiff debt free.

Lies, lies and more lies. Where does this leave your honour now Tan.....?

TAN OUT!

That's one way looking at it Neil and in Tans defense its not an easy thing to do. How many other clubs have brought in these up and coming young managers only to see it backfire?

Also I don't think Tan wants us relegated. Why would he except to despise us all. No he doesn't but for me the problem is as he is going along on this, if he is, he just does not have the knowledge to do it. He has not learnt from the past aka Warnock signing. I believe he has the help on hand but refuses to accet it. That really could be his downfall.
