Will Tan sell in the summer?

Sun Nov 02, 2025 2:58 pm

If we get promoted back to championship Will Tan sell, we have/had serious buyers - the south African consortium.. who came close with everything nearly signed/sealed and delivered. But Tan decided he can get more money in championship.

Or does anyone think tan will see how BBM does in championship hoping we go straight to prem in 1st season back.

Not in my opinion, as he will think he’s ‘cracked it’ with the youth system and go again :cry:

The (maybe) bigger issue, would be the suddenly ‘silent man’ Mehmet Dalman, who will protect his own interests way before those of the club, Tan, and other stakeholders, including the club’s supporters :cry:

Just my opinion though, and like you, I can only hope I’m wrong! :ayatollah:

Correct about tan and youngsters.. but not sure dalman can influence what tan does unless he asks for his 30m back?
Said it all along tan will hold out for promotion and will want to get to premier league but wil kids take him there? I've said they will guess it depends on what backing bbm gets....
As for price mmmm sheff wed in administration price is 50m but they haven't got our infrastructure so people saying city worth 40m ect are way off mark! 100m+ rising if get promoted to championship is more realistic.

Well he was very close to selling in the summer but in the end was advised not to.

I still think a lot depends on the Sala case.

As said previously, he's not going anywhere until the Sala case is eventually finished.

He won't sell as his valuation and reality do not align. This season was probably the best chance to get him to go, but we needed a poor start, it looks like we may bounce straight back without spending

The sala case as been taken over by management company and as such passed out of clubs hands ! They’ll get around 10m if successful if not they get nothing it's a no win no fee arrangement.... so not sure it as any effect on whether tan sells or not? Remember club already had one payment by insurance company.....

Nothing to do with the monetary side of it, I think it's about saving face in Malaysia & him being free of the (perceived) shame.

Ahhhh that could come into the equation... still don't think sala case will have ant effect... anyway as long as we get promotion he isn't going anywhere his ego will be massage to much for him to want to stop

Ned,

I 100% Believe if we are promoted Tan will Sell ASAP.

If we don't get promoted he'll sell all our promising youngsters, Trott will be sent back and the manager will be sacked.

I think he will sell if we go up.

Even Tan isn't stupid enough to still think we can get promoted to the prem on the cheap, and he isn't going to be spending big.

Also there is a risk we could go back down and go down in value again.

The only thing that could stop him selling is the Sala case.

Tan and his Family have NO interest in Cardiff City:

“THEY HAVE TOLD HIM TO SELL UP”

In my humble opinion I believe the only thing he will sell is our young guns to make money and the compensation received for BBM for his own pocket to make any shortfall in the sale of the club. If we are still in L1 it could be disastrous for us :bluebird:
