Wed May 28, 2025 9:45 am

WHAT HAPPENED TO DEBT FREE / PROMISED OVER 10 / 15 years ago / 3 TIMES / NOW £137.5 MILLION IN DEBT AND A DIV 3 CLUB???



FOR THOSE WHO SAY TAN KEEPS US A FLOAT:

Plus he just loves the publicity of owning a British Club.

The Publicity Tan gives to Malaysia:



The £12 million put in each year by Vincent Tan / BUT



£3.8Mill goes to Dalman interest on his loan to us that Tan print would never happen.

Dalman & Choo who work for Tan in London, get £1Mill plus Wages from Cardiff City.


Tan gets all the Malaysian Companies airlines / holiday places taking up 85% of the advertising on insides of the Stadium and outside worth £3Mill.

All Tans / Dalmans / Choo’s expenses travelling / hotels / food etc etc are down to Cardiff City £1Mill a year.

Plus every year Tan has wasted money on Court Cases, Cost Our Club £Millions upon £Millions over the years.

That Despicable Rebrand over 4 years Cost Our Club £50Mill plus

What I would like to know is… why would a successful business man turn down a very generous offer (Dalmans words) for the club if he is losing so much money a month? Doesn’t make sense to me.

But he’s actually losing NOTHING if you read the above.

This season coming he will actually lose money.

Yes you must be right. Because like I said, he wouldn’t turn down a very generous offer for the club if he was actually losing money. I’ve thought they were lying to us about losing money ever since he turned down that offer.

I have been saying for months that none of us know Malaysian high finance. What does Tan with the losses? Can they be written off against Beraja group profits as unfulfilled loans?

No idea what the Dalman deal is either, there are safer ways of getting returns. He is a well-connected man with an extensive career heading many of the city's biggest investment divisions. Didn't realise he is 67.

Tan spent money last year on players, you can't deny that. Daland, Robertson, Fish and Salech. All recruitment is 50/50. We just don't have a recruitment strategy or coaching structure.

I believe he is trying to take on professional football and getting spanked. He believes a coach is a coach, anyone with the correct credentials can do it, so why do i need to pay someone £250k or more when i can get the U21 coach to step up and do ok. I believe he has been stung so often he thinks pro football is one big old pals brigade and you don't need all of it.

Plus We sold Mark Mcguiness

Maybe what you say ties in with why he turns debt to equity theres some sort of get out of debt system tied to businesses? Ex boss deliberately run a buisness down in Hong Kong so that it went bust so avoiding taxes when he left country!

I can't help but think there is some strategy behind all this that mere mortals don't understand. I have no idea I am not even trying to pretend.

About a 18 years ago my company was subject of a highly leveraged takeover. To stop the local management teams freaking out at the size of the debt we sat through a one day course on leveraged buyouts and how they are reported. This was very top level I am an Engineering manager not a finance person. But it blew my mind how these city bankers/accountants move money from one pot to another, rarely pay tax, and how they service and report on the debt.
We never made a profit for a decade but everyone was happy.

Still find it amazing there are people who support Tan still, but there are.

Like you say, a lot of it is just so he can say he owns an English league club.

As said, he promised debt free but that looks like being just one broken promise of many.

Ned perhaps i have got this wrong, but is not all the debt Tans debt not the clubs so in effect the club is debt free apart from Dalhams and another small one to some loan company, when Tan goes :thumbup: does he not take that the large debt with him??? Perhaps someone could explain to me because I have no idea :banghead:

Re: The £12 million put in each year by Vincent Tan / BUT:

I always hate when people stick up for Tan saying he puts money in every year to keep us afloat,

we never needed this backing before he took over, yes we were in debt but that debt has tripled since he took over

how has the club been promoted to the Premier league twice and yet still the debt owed to Tan has never reduced

that tells me he doesn't want to sell and he's definitely benefiting from converting all these loans into equity

The op is false, the sponsorship is in the accounts the interest is in the accounts , the extra money tan puts in to keep as afloat and debt to equity is in the accounts .most be a slow day on here , with out him making the shortfall we would go bust it's as simple as that , should he sell up probably yes but the one think he does do is keep the cash flow each season rolling in to pay the bills . Who ever buys us will have to spend 10s of millions a season just to keep us going .

Most football clubs are in the same position , even the clubs now that come down after one year are in the shit, when we went up with warnock over 50 million was spent that season just in players bonuses its madness.

Tan is 100% not keeping us a float.

Your love in with Tan has to stop.


SO NO WAGES TO DALMAN NO INTEREST NO WAGES TO CHOO ? BOTH DONT WORK IN LONDON FOR TAN???

NO MISS-MANAGEMENT?

NO COURT CASE AFTER COURT CASE?

NO REBRAND?

NO ADVERTS INSIDE / OUTSIDE STADIUM?

Show me how much we get for All The advertising inside and outside ?

What happened to us being DEBT FREE?

Plus 100% All their wages and expenses and interest come from Our Club.


If you take in a football you have to accept you will lose money.

But to be fair Tan is actually don’t well out of us as we have Sunk


Dalman kept us going last season.


1,000% Tan is creating the debts from the Court Cases to the Rebrand to the Miss-management.

Your obsession with a Dictator who is destroying Our Club, I really don’t understand you Wez.


15 YEARS LATER ARE WE MORE IN DEBT OR ARE WE DEBT FREE?


ANSWER WEZ ??

So are you signing this is all false? He didn't promise us debt free? He didn't say the only person we'd owe was him?

It's not true that our club is being run from London?

It's not true that millions have been wasted on court cases?

I’m not sure what the actual figures are as I’m not by any means an accountant and I’ve not looked at the accounts - so figures may or may not be correct.

The rest of it is about right though.

I’ve said it before that we have three people in positions of major power at our club, who are the key decision makers and all of them are part time for City - to the point that we are an ‘if we have time’ role for all three of them.
