I Can Confirm Bales Consortium have Made a Very

Tue Jul 01, 2025 6:20 am

BALE IN - TAN OUT !! :

95% of the fans want Tan out ….albeit to an entity that is strong financially and can provide the football nous , control and decision making …..an entity that cares for the Club and it’s fans .

I believe that the Bale consortium has all those qualities .

I can confidently confirm that the Bale consortium have made a very good offer ….definitely substantially more than what the Club should go for , this is not hear say it’s a FACT:


CCFC as a going concern is worthless in accounting terms ….because it has massive debts and is consistently losing £10-£20 million per year . The stadium value is neither here nor there because there is no club to sell without a stadium .


However , by all accounts CCFC’s sale value is £25 million ….with a maximum of £40 million if pushing it. Remember Tan took full control of the Club for £6 million ….for a Club at a top Championship club that was unlucky to make the Premiere League…back in 2010 .


Tan has no excuse not to sell to Bale !



Right people and more than right offer . If Tan wants to be bloody minded and not caring for the Club and it’s fans ….then the fans will be up in arms and do anything they can to force this failed , incompetent , arrogant , soulless dictator out !

This is a defining moment in the history of CCFC . Tan has to go …and give way to the right people . The Club and the fans can not lose this opportunity .

This not about who likes or dislikes this is an amazing opportunity for OUR CLUB:

VINCENT TAN is a MASSIVE FAILURE :


Many fans hate Tan and want him to go ….I am one of those . I believe that this awful , heartless uncaring dictator has tried to rob us of our identity and has rendered the Club soulless and divided . However there is also very sound logic for him to go . He should go and go NOW because :



(1) He has an excellent offer from an excellent entity .


(2) He is no longer able to finance the Club to the level it needs . All he can do is cover our losses (which are of his own making) in order to avoid bankruptcy and losing all of his investment.


(3) He has failed financially in epic proportions …losing over £300 million of capital outlay in shares , loans and write offs . This is fact .



(4) He is a football ignorant dictator who interferes and controls football matters ….believing he is very knowledgeable when he is a useless clown .


(5) After 15 years of ownership he has put us in the third tier of football having received a top Chamoionship club …..almost making the PL .


(6) He has rendered the Club soulless - possibly the most soulless club ….where only the sycophant , self serving , ass licking fans are thriving .


(7) He tried to rob us of our identity .


(8) He considers the fans …customers .


(9) He installs a poor , unable , obedient , part time CEO ….in Choo .


(10) In Wayne Nash he has a Kim Jong Un - North Korean like operator ….who makes the match day experience for many fans awful AND SADDENS ME TO SEE THE PASSION HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM OUR FANS:

Time for all the fence sitters to make there minds up Bale or Tan .

No excuses now. The club can’t turn around and say no fair offer has been made. If he refuses to sell it’s just out of pure spite. I hope there’s riots if he doesn’t sell up.

This is the best news i have ever heard in my time supporting the city..64 years....Please let it happen....Annis you mention Passion...it has gone for many,,not me,not you....What we need is a match to relight that passion....I think this is the answer...Bale....Ramsey..Bellamy.....would be over the moon along with thousands of our fans.....How any single one fan can support the red clown is beyond me....Come on city.... :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Tan is wrong not just for the Club and its fans ….but also for himself.

He has had a good offer from a good entity .

The best that he can hope to achieve is to beat very small clubs in the third tier of football and get into the Championship ….then what ?


Back to where we’ve been the last few years ….getting fxxked again in the Championship . The man has to go NOW . He is no good for man or beast .

Please God take the offer! My only worry is that the man is incredibly stubborn.

Hopefully he makes the right decision and we can move forward as a club.

Doing the rounds on X saying offer was £85m with Tan Wanting £135m How people know these figure is beyond me unless they are part of the teams discussing it

Re: I Can Confirm Bales Consortium have Made a Very

What is the offer made ? don’t need to know who your source is but figures would be helpful.
The other thing is who exactly is behind Bale?
I not sure about this .. hard to judge until figures in the open.. mind you all this jon communication is of no help to quell speculation .
Bale did say himself more will come out soon, so guess let’s wait to hear what he says next.

Tan do the right thing and sell up
It hasn’t worked out for you , us fans have had enough and want our club back , do the right thing , we are going down and down if you stay

Re: I Can Confirm Bales Consortium have Made a Very

Tue Jul 01, 2025 8:37 am

Few people very understandably and rightly are asking me for the Bale consortium’s offer .


It would be very wrong of me to disclose figures because that will undermine my source ….also it will negatively affect Bale’s chances adversely as these things should remain private .


I assure you that the offer is more than fair .

Other than few self serving , ass licking sycophants …..everyone including Tan’s family , key people within the Club , Club staff and 95% of the fans want him out .

It is morally wrong for Tan to continue . He is a disaster and he can not do any more positive thing for the Club . He has an excellent offer .

We need to make our feelings known starting at every pre season game and carrying it on in to the season

I don't care if the fence sitters keep whinging about not wanting to upset the team etc and I agree once the kick off whistle goes then we should fully back bbm and the boys for 90 minutes

But this is the opportunity of a life time we can't just sit back do nothing and allow tan to f**k it up for us

TAN OUT BALE IN!!!!

Re: I Can Confirm Bales Consortium have Made a Very

If he doesn’t go now I fear he never will.

Relegated, fans on his back, lost a load of money etc etc.

If there’s a decent amount on the table, now is the time for Tan to cut his losses and jog on. The pessimism in me though thinks Tan is under the illusion he’s going to save the club by getting us back in the Championship and will then try and
blag the fans with the “we’re challenging for automatic promotion” line that they come out with

Hi Annis

Do you know if the club are thinking over the offer or have they dismissed it outright?

Re: I Can Confirm Bales Consortium have Made a Very

Tue Jul 01, 2025 9:39 am

I expect tan to be thinking it over at least, at least make a statement, that way season tickets be brought in a bulk, at full price now early bird ends,

The post sent to me was posted by a Steve Day So take it with a pinch of salt I suppose as i find the figures very high for an offer

I think it’s really positive that we may be seeing the back of Tan, who has demonstrated he doesn’t know how to run a football club.

What I don’t understand is the hype around Bale and his local connections. He never played for Cardiff City and in fact chose to go elsewhere when he had the chance. I think it’s great a local bloke is involved but don’t be fooled that this is some romantic tie up. This is business, and Bale will want out in five years time so they can realise their investment.

That being said I hope it goes through. Can’t get much worse than the current ownership. I hope.
