Once this is all settled down and accepted I think we should start protesting. Lets not allow them to think they have got off the hook. Lets dare Tan to come over here and face us all.

Dalman is hoping that his BS will put an end to all the takeover talk amongst us well i'm sorry but it's not going to go away because the intrest is still there.
The biggest worry now is if the lunatic Tan chases these consortiums away, they go looking for a club elsewhere and we are stuck with a owner/board who will continue to run our beloved club into the ground.
Hopefully this wont happen and we get new owners, Tan and his lackies have to be removed from our club for us to move forward.

The short answer to the OP's question is ....
NO-ONE KNOWS!!
Everything is just hypothesis and conjecture on behalf of we the supporters.
The only people who know are the bidders, and the three clowns at the helm of the Bluebirds. And thats it.
We, as supporters, can all chip in with opinions and rhetoric, but ultimately, and I'm afraid I include all the ITK's on here in this, we know bugger all of whats going on behind the scenes.
For me, the biggest clues as to what HAS been happening, is the shouting from the rooftops from Gareth Bale, and the complete and utter radio silence from Otto.
There has been no reaction from Otto in the slightest, which for me is very telling. One would suspect that had he and his consortium been knocked back by Tan, there would have been some reaction. The fact that there is nothing coming from Otto's direction, to me means that things are still going on in the background.
But hey! there I go, I am now guilty of hypothesis and conjecture myself.

I had a season ticket for years at Ninian Park, and attended a few away games. Blackpool was a favourite alongside Forrest, Barnsley, QPR and the Cup games at Wembley. A few bus trips with Valley Rams.I never really accepted the move away from Ninian Park although I understand why we needed to move. It's never been the same and I struggle to enjoy the CCS experience without taking the Tan factor into account. I was hoping a new owner could lead to a better experience at the CCS. I do get asked to attend away games but have declined for many years. I will return when the time is right

Like everybody on this forum you are entitled to your views and opinions, but there are a few more people that know EXACTLY what's going on other than the bidders and the board. As some of the mods have stated on here, the true story of what has happend will eventually find it's way out, it always does.

Now Dalman / Tan are saying "no pressure," we don't need to sell through the media.
IMO it's one big power play and we just have to sit and hope.

I appreciate that you don't want to go to games but my opinion is that fans should be able to make their own choice in that regard, and not be pressured into boycotting.
It's also my belief that if season ticket sales had been low then all it would have resulted in is mass cost cutting. So that would mean the likes of Salech and Robinson would have been sold to cover the cost of low season ticket sales.
Personally I will continue to go to watch the team. I was pleased to see a decent crowd on Saturday and hope there's another good one for Rotherham.
Support the team, not the regime.

Fair point, but Tan could have sold the club 18 months ago (Dalmans words at meeting) but changed his mind, if so where do you think we would be now?? Certainly not in div 1. Tan has also got an offer on the table NOW which he is/was looking at, (also Dalmans words at meeting) it's not the Bale one but from potential buyers who are "ready to go" in terms of financially backing the club/team. He is holding the club back due to his enormous ego and stubbonness, in the meantime we as fans can see a huge opportunity go sliding by.

I wasn't aware but when a few posters on here have said we're lucky to have Tan, (for paying the bills) i recall months ago Annis saying a few times (and a couple of mods) that there is plenty of intrest out there in buying Cardiff City, but not sure if this is the same deal as Dalman was talking about.

Dalman mentoned once that the club have received "a very good offer". This perhaps going back a couple of seasons but the interest was there.

It was a Cup game in 2010 - Chelsea 4 - 1 Cardiff. Do your research, obviously you weren't there amongst the traffic cones.
