THIS IS ON YOUR HEAD TAN

Mon Feb 02, 2026 8:29 pm

If we fail this season it will be down to the dictator, he has had no intention of backing BBM in this window and most of us knew that. We have a superstar in the making with Murphy who should have been backed but no ambition will have not gone unnoticed with BBM. Unless Tan f**ks off in the summer BBM will be head hunted by a club who can appreciate what he is doing here. In the meantime let's hope we've got enough to finish the job and get promoted.

I feel exactly the same, I’m afraid very afraid if we don’t get Salech and Bagan back double quick and keep them uninjured for the run in, which is a huge ask. Rotherham had a cracking win last Saturday away from home and will be ready for us on Saturday.

Totally agree. Pathetic window but I expected that to be honest as he's been given feck all backing really. Loaning our players out here and there and then recalling one summed it up. The others who went out on loan must be thinking they got no chance when we are signing others for the u21s. It's actually laughable but let's pray we got enough to get over the line. On to Rotherham Saturday :bluescarf:

Perhaps BBM didn’t want any more and was happy with his top of the league squad.

Just a modest investment to see us over the line would have been ideal now we just need to hope we have enough and everyone stays fit

Tan really doesn't give 2 shits anymore just hope we are near the end of his reign

We had a very good manager and some excellent young players at the start of the window. We have a very good boss and some excellent young players at the end. If Tan wanted to make quick money that would probably not have been the case.
In addition, we have brought in a a left back cover. Finally, a couple of youngsters have arrived who may (or may not) have a role to play this season.
Sorry but just slagging off Tan at any opportunity is just silly. He can be criticised for quite a few things but he is better than a lot of owners (and a lot of our previous owners).

Some of you grumbling now were the same ones insisting it was vital to give Robinson a 2 year extension. Had we not done that, we would have had better back up for Salech.

Imagine the periods if we were 3rd, or 5th, or 12th :laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6:

Every other club in L1 dreams of our squad. If you disagree with this statement, counter with the club who's got a better squad; and I'll debate man-to-man why we are better.

An argument for "we should be planning for championship" is plausable and accepted - but we aren't financially adept as an Ipswich, Birmingham or even (dont be upset, its reality...) Wrexham.

For once, in maybe EVER, we didn't really need (or really afford if we're honest) to strengthen.

Tan spaffs £300K a week on this club. Anyone else willing to stump up?

I’m with you mate. We are top of the league we are playing our youngsters which a lot of people having been crying out for, and now we showing faith in them as they are seemingly good enough this season.

We will get promoted, and we have strengthened our squad. We not chasing anyone they chasing us.

We did just sign anyone for the sake of it which is a positive. We not an attractive club at the moment for the higher level players we used to signing for one reason or another. We can’t sign superstars at the moment.

Came on here to post my thoughts on transfer window dealings in January read this post and it sums up my view in a nutshell
Just hoping beyond belief that it’s tan not spending any more of his money as he’s off in the summer

Tan is the one who has created this debt over the years with his madness of bringing in managers who are useless and him insisting that no DOF is needed. There are people ready and willing to buy this club but the dictator keeps moving the goalposts. He is a CANCER which Cardiff City need to remove.

Managers always want more.

BBM had to agree before he got the contract that he would not get funds this season and had to work with what he had and loans

Re: THIS IS ON YOUR HEAD TAN

So if we get promoted that’s on Tan too.

That's the annoying thing. For a relatively small outlay we could have gone from probable promotion to almost certainty and from a business point of view it was a no brainer. :banghead: How did Tan ever make money? It certainly wasn't from any business acumen
