Front Runner:

The South African is looking the closest and is obsessed to get us before the League Season Starts, been after us for over a year, But Tan played games while we were in the Championship and has only come to the table since Relegated in May.


Dalmans Consortium he has put together look like being in 2nd place.

Bales Consortium he’s put together and put in 2 Bids in writing , Tan will not accept as lower than the others at the moment.
What Bale has done has helped as Tan had become very ignorant and arrogant.

Bales got the others moving faster.









Don't post this lightly and don't want to get people's hopes up, but things are looking good.

There are three groups trying to buy Cardiff City from Tan and he's talking to all of them.

We know one of them is Bale's group, but they are not the frontrunners.

The two other groups are one from South Africa.

The third group involves Dalman.


All this I truly believe and I am more expectant than a deal will get done than ever before.

It really is getting closer.

Interesting I wonder if dalman being owed so much money by tan could put him in a strong negotiating position using the near 40 mill he is owed as a bargaining chip

Ned,


See there has always been big interest in us and Thanks to Bale going public, Tan can’t deny it.

I hear we are getting close and Our Dreams look like coming True.

I also hear Tan is actually negotiating and Dalman is trying his best to put his group as front runners.

For weeks now they’ve worked together.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

South African group headed by Elon Musk by any chance?…

That is good news and hopefully news we can celebrate sooner rather than later.

If Tan sells the attendances will go through the roof also those bloody red seats.

Always said I wouldn't mind Dalman, he has the good contacts in Monaco.

He'd be ten times better than Tan.

Why hasnt he used his contacts then ?, if its new owners need to be a fresh start .

Just finished my last meal on holiday in Tenerife (home tomorrow) but if this is true, (i'll wait for the white smoke) it will out do my holiday knowing the dictator has gone. Please be right for the sake of our beloved club, i might even buy Annis a pint.

Because he's not the owner and Dictator Tan calls the shots, you know that Wez.

So he lends the club 40 million and has no say and is the chairman ? Nonsense,

I wasn't talking about football contacts (he may have some). I was talking about contacts in terms of getting the money together to buy the club and take it forward.

But anyway, can't be bothered to argue about it because I'm just pleased that a deal with one of the parties is very close.

I really hope whoever gets the offer accepted puts a hand out to work with Bale, we need the commercial revenue that he’d open up

I have said in the past I would accept Dalman over Tan

However I have also made it very clear that you cannot believe a word that comes out of Dalmans mouth, and been proved wright time and time again.

So would I take Dalman over Tan, yes i would however, with the exception of Tan I would take anyone else over Dalman, so if there are 3 parties then I hope its one of the other 2 than Dalmans that is successful.

The guy is only ever in anything for himself hence I have always called him a politician and spin doctor.

Personally I would prefer Tan sells and dalman and choo are gone from our club too, a total fresh start all new please

That all ties in with what has been said before, Ned; and it would explain the absence of Mehmet Dalman in recent times. I know people we trust were convinced he was ‘up to something’

I actually like the idea of Gareth Bale’s involvement, as he would surely want to be seen to be successful in his home city; but I genuinely ask ‘would Mehmet be the worse option?’

Personally, I don’t think he would be. He knows us, we know him (in all his guises), he knows football, and he wants success

Time will tell but it appears the (proverbial) bell is tolling on Vincent Tan’s tenure, and hopefully any purchase won’t be too drawn out

Well, who is to say Dalman hasn’t been trying? We certainly know that Tan has been both obstructive in his valuations and determination to get his way!

Hardly nonsense, Wez! Tan is an autocrat! He and Dalman fell out more than once over his (Tan’s) intransigence, and the final straw was the Erol Bulut appointment. Tan didn’t want him but gave in, apparently for the last time


Be honest here, we haven’t really seen or heard (much) from Mehmet since, have we?

There are 3 Different Offers on the Table and Tan Wants Out.

This is it, lads

Annis, In your opinion who do you see being the owners if tan is to accept.

South African?
Bales lot?
Mehmet?

This sounds like good news but I would argue about Dalman knowing about football. His football knowledge
Started with brokering the Glaziers buy out of Man u so I would agree he has contacts and the nous to broker a buy out but his knowledge of football itself is limited. But I think he would get in a Dof and it would hopefully better run.

Dalman has admitted we need more football knowledge in the club therefore he has been pushing for a DoF. However Tan thinks he knows best and has blocked that move.

Lets hope so we need it , with new owners there will be a fresh start and new buzz which will only help the club and fans ....I hope its the Bale one that comes through as having him as a face for the club can only benefit it in so many ways ....south african one ?? ....

unsure of any others SA owners in european football and as for dalman well hes owed money so hes in a good spot but we need a clean slate everyone gone from this regime we are under .......Come on Gareth boy get it done !

The day we finally get rid of Tan is going to amazing!

Imagine the buzz on match day when we have new owners

Are you confident the end is near Annis?

He has!

Not saying he is ‘The Messiah’, but he is a known quantity and seems to know his way around football finance

Supporters want Tan gone and whilst a complete ‘fresh start’ might be our desire, the thought of Mehmet Dalman fronting or arranging a consortium does not concern me as much as Vincent Tan continuing to lead (loose term) us down the proverbial blind alley

Ultimately though, it remains to be seen if Tan sells to the ‘highest bidder’, or to the consortium ‘best for the future of Cardiff City FC’?

Either way, our first actions should be to get behind them, open the blinds to let the sun back in, and breathe a huge sigh of relief!

Praying this happens, Bale and the consortium would be my choice.

The contacts Bale has in the game would be massive for the club, the feel good factor would be back and no doubt it would be get fans back. I know it’s different to Wrexham (hate comparing us to Wrexham) but look at what they done for the club with their huge profiles. The sponsorships etc they brought into their club was huge.

Hopefully the end of Tan is soon, and who ever the next owner is will push the club on, because let’s be honest, we’ve had some sh*t owners in the past haha.

Change the badge, get rid of Nash, invest wisely and a fresh start.. oh and the red seats!

I hope you’re right Annis.

Does anyone know what financial power the three consortiums hold?
