CONSORTIUM BY GARETH BALE APPROACHED CARDIFF

Fri Jun 20, 2025 4:29 pm

Updated:

The Gareth Bale story is 100% True, he was putting a Consortium together to buy Cardiff was snubbed by Tan:


And the American Consortium that were ignored that Jonny Owen put in touch with Our Hierarchy are very much back in it



Postby Forever Blue »
Listen the last 5 yrs when Dalman said we had received a number of offers:

We have actually had quite a lot of offers , which I kept putting out in here, But Tan has just laughed them away as he has wanted mental money £200Mill

But now he realises he is just going to get less and less unless he says a sensible price.



Also 5 months ago Jonny Owen was at Forest and was approached by Americans with big money he introduced them to Tans Regime and they never got back to them, this is the problem.

Tan needs to be hounded out of our club.





GARETH BALES CONSORTIUM HAD BID REJECTED BY TAN



Gareth Bale is leading a consortium that has made an approach to buy Cardiff City.
Bale’s group sent a letter of intent to Cardiff owner Vincent Tan last month

The proposal was rejected but interest from the former Real Madrid winger interest in acquiring Cardiff remains strong.





35yo’s group sent letter of intent with financial numbers to #CCFC ownership last month. Proposal rejected but desire remains strong + no Plymouth Argyle interest

@TheAthleticFC

Imagine that! Let’s hope this keeps up.

This gives the fans reason to really now push for Tan to sell

Very very interesting.

When the Plymouth news came out I said Bale didn't give a shit about buying us.

May have been wrong about that.

No doubt Tan still wants 200 million.

He is up there with Romano in terms of reliability.

He never makes stuff up.

So there must be some truth to the story then

Gutted it says the approach was rejected could you imagine the feel good factor around the club if this happened season ticket sales would go through the roof

Interest still being strong is a positive though.

Yes hopefully there is still a chance,

If this turns out to be a legitimate bid and tan point blank refuses to entertain it we need to make our feelings clear on a whole new level compared to last seasons protests

This could be the opportunity of a lifetime for our club

Not only the stubborn clown emperor has an unrealistic asking price but has a history of bitterness. Malky Moody Cornelius etc and Bales transfer U turn if true will fall into that category. I would love this deal to happen

It makes more sense Bale being interested in us rather than Plymouth. He does have businesses in Cardiff. Though the stumbling block is going to be Tans asking price. He needs to accept he’s not getting his money back. I just don’t think he will. I hope I’m wrong and bale buys us but can’t see it personally

Tan is pathetic.

Probably holds it against Bale that he went to LA instead of us.

A first offer made not, what the consortium are prepared to pay. :ayatollah:

Very interesting.

Hope he’s not digging his heels in for an unrealistic amount yet again.

Bale is worth £145Mill (google) or 1x Phillipe Coutinho. He'd need some big boys with deep pockets in this consortium

Re: CONSORTIUM BY GARETH BALE APPROACHED CARDIFF

Fri Jun 20, 2025 5:03 pm

Also 5 months ago Jonny Owen was at Forest and was approached by Americans with big money he introduced them to Tans Regime and they never got back to them, this is the problem.

Tan needs to be hounded out of our club.

If this is true, this is brilliant news, that would get rid of the circus and car sales men,Cardiff in the right hands has the potential to be one of the biggest clubs in Britain.

Ned, hands up, I said he had no affinity to our club but it was pointed out he was a supporter before heading to Southampton

This, if at all achievable, would push our support through the roof!

We know what the obstacle is; but we can always hope! :thumbup: :ayatollah:

Bale is the front man, it's the people with money that are behind it. Bale's name gives them more prominence.

We can hope, the problem though is Tan he won’t just cut his losses. He wants unrealistic money for us .

Tan is a sad, bitter man.

Bale turned him down to go to LA before the World Cup.

He will hate that and that's why the initial proposal was turned down.

But positive that the interest is still there.

Now is an even bigger chance to hound Tan out

We need "more hounds" in the pack,
but they just don' t get it,
lets have the clown gone once and for all
and then maybe we can get back to full stadiums smiling faces and better football to look forward to i wish more fans would protest if they did,
this is what is possible.
