Does everyone agree that we should all protest all groups join together, or do we do as per usual and sit back and see what develops just like last season.
How many more seasons do we have to keep saying "wait and see " give it 12 games etc.
Surely 99.9% would like to have bale group as owners with all he could attract and bring to the table.
Or stick with Tan who is not bringing anything to the table he has lost complete interest in cardiff city football club.
And surely those few fans left ,who are happy with the status quote surely have to join the 99.9 % .

If he turns the bid down then there is no argument to not protest as long as it is done correctly.
We can still support the team, and get behind the manager whilst wanting Tan gone.
The fear I have however is that we will never be united as a fan base, and as such the numbers would not be good enough to make an impact big enough.
In the last few days alone, there have been threads on here speaking down about the Trust and the FAB - that doesn’t help with uniting the fans in my opinion.
But in answer to your question - yes, definitely. He has a good offer on the table and will be able to walk away knowing that he’s done the right thing.

Happy to support the team manager as per usual but the trust and fans representatives need to be more pro active,as I think a lot of fans are frustrated with there lack of action sending letters just end up in the bin sadly and forgotten about,
and I would say also more of the sleepy fans who wait to see what others do,
it's upto the likes of these fans who need to step up and join the protests to show tan that all fans are 1,
if he still sees some fans are willing to back him he will not budge.

Well said Monty , it’s about time everyone pulled together and get our voices heard .
We want bail in and tan out
Wed Jul 02, 2025 7:48 pm
Yes, I e spoken downabout the Trust and the FAB, because it is them who should be bringing us together, supporting the fan base, bringing the problems of the supporters to the board directly. Challenging them when things go wrong ( when have they gone right?).
And yes Monty is dead right. All fans should get together to.protest, but don't blame me or other fans who try and do something when the FAB and the Trust don't. That's their job, and they are weak.

I agree with Monty.
Not because of Bale, for the reason I'm slightly sceptical about the Americans who would put all the money in.
But I just want Tan to sell.

This is like re-arranging deckchairs on the titanic.
The only language Tan understands is cash. He couldn’t give a toss about our fan-base.
To get rid of him, in the event that he rejects Bale, we must stop giving him money.
Stop buying season tickets, stop buying match tickets, stop spending money in the club shop and stop putting money across the bar at the stadium.
Total militant action and empty stadiums would soon wake him up but as it is we continue to drip feed him cash so there’s no panic for him.
I know people will say this is our club and why should we stay away but it’s the only thing that will bring massive media attention and shame to Tan personally making his position untenable.

I said it many times you are more than welcome to turn your back on our club. But I won’t and nor will most on here. Our club needs it supporters more than ever it’s hard going but we will win in the end.

I don’t often agree with you but you’re spot on with this post.
They’re pathetic and should be doing exactly as you’ve said.
For some reason our fans are so apathetic.

Out of 11,000 season ticket holders, how many really want Tan out at all costs? Or do we think that the majority of ST holders think that removing Tan is a good idea, but we need to make sure what replaces him is better. Do we want Bale’s consortium to take over. Someone who has no links with the club, and someone whose priority in life is playing golf.
I am not “Pro Tan” , but let’s be careful what we wish for.
This board is not representative of the whole fanbase, just a loud minority who have a valid point of view. Let’s get this right. Organising protests against a man who lives on the other side of the world is not going to work. Money Talks

Are you serious ,
if bale took over heading up a group to own cardiff city that would be news around the world not just the uk ,
all the players that would be attracted to play for cardiff, the fans I am sure would all behind this and the stadium would see a big increase in attendances and I am sure bale has said he would like to get us back to the prem with a plan.

In reality what else is he gonna say. I hope to get us to be a solid top 10 champ club ?
I hope the take over goes ahead and then we get to see what happens. No one knows wheter we be better off or worse off in 5 years time but we definitely need to do something new and not be happy with the mess we are currently in.
They could have loads of plans new manager, big budget. Or they might just want to keep things as they are. Who knows. No one will care at the start as long as tan has gone.

Ned, there is a growing thought that this ‘Bale interest’ may well spark ‘other interested parties’ to refocus their own efforts on taking over
Personally, I think any consortium that includes a local legend in the game would only be positive for the club and that is why I sincerely hope that they can find a way to make it happen sooner rather than later
