How about this for a scenario

Sat Apr 19, 2025 6:41 pm

Tan and Dalman falling out. We know that is highly probable from the various messages on here.

They finally have a bust up. Tan hits the roof and says to Dalman 'fine, you wanna run the club, then all club expenditure is now down to you'.

Tan puts in Zero further funds. Dalman knows what is needed and has known all along.

Dalman has complete control of running the club say to day. Tan is still the owner and be the sole beneficiary of any sale.

Dalmans first job? Sack Riza. Put in place a stop gap Cardiff born and highly creditable Short term management team.

Copies the Wrexham blueprint rather than try and follow Swansea success in terms of International players and youngsters and good young European managers. ( Only they did their homework, and Tan guessed).

Brings in football people to do football things.

Just my personal opinion.

This would come as no surprise to me, it's a very reasonable possibility.

Quite obvious that Dalman doesn't agree with the way Tan runs the club, in fact he hates it.

Remember he said this two years ago:


"Vincent is Vincent, Vincent will always do whatever Vincent wants. He actually believes that he understands football." And then Dalman started laughing and so did the press.

No was just saying was thinking on same lines ... something is going on for this sudden change of mind by Tan! Your scenario is very plausible
