NEW OWNERS? OR SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH TAN.

Sun May 17, 2026 6:53 pm

Just wondering what fans are thinking after promotion, we have all seen the photos of vinny bbm and wife looking like a family photo.
So many fans on this forum were hoping for tan to retire and sell after our last game of the season.

Do we still feel the same or are we all just happy to wait and see what tan does? we have been here so many times ,
my reading of the forum was that most want tan gone with a only a few saying don' t rock the boat and upset tan or the club,
but now was the time for a decision put your hands in your pocket and back murphy 100% or lets have a new owner who wants to invest millions.

Does anyone really see tan pumping in millions for next season or really what I sm sure will happen it will all again be on a shoestring.

And for anyone telling me that murphy probably does not need much money well that would be just plain silly we are going back into a much more competitive division and all of us do not want to be fighting relegation all season.

So I was just asking fans thoughts on the coming season ,with the continuation of more of the same or a big change ,it would be good to see were the fans stand know we have been promoted,some may have softened, others will have hardened there views .
My own personal feeling is I hope tan moves very soon and sells up ,but judging by his latest family photo with bbm he is sadly staying.

I don't think anything has changed with wanting the current owner & his sidekicks to leave and I don't think it is ever very likely to change, even if we were to magically do the treble, they've just done too much damage.

But he's not going anywhere so we'll just have to wait & see if he gives BBM what he wants & what he thinks he needs, we don't really have much choice no matter how unhappy we may be with him.

Does BBM need him to spend millions? I have no idea but I'll trust what he (BBM) says until there's a reason not to, and he has some credit in the bank after last season.

I don't think this season changes anything when it comes to the fans thoughts about Tan, the vast majority still want him gone and are purely giving credit to the manager and his players - which I agree with.

That said, I don't think Tan will be selling for the next year at least unfortunately.

So budd it's your impression although you would like him gone,you do not think tan is anywhere near selling is that just a hunch or do you know he is definitely here next season just asking nothing in it, but fans say he is going nowhere without any knowledge of what he is doing.

Ned I agree most fans want him out of our club but you have reasons to why you think Tan is going nowhere is that a guess he will give it another go, or something else,
just curious why fans just say he will stay .

BBM going over to Malaysia to see him is one reason. I don't see why Tan would invite him there if he had intentions on selling.

Don't know if you've seen it but his mrs gets proper passionate when she watches us play, there's one video of her going mental when we won at Wrexham even though she was surrounded by Wrexham fans in the hospitality area :lol:

His dad was also in the away end at Reading and in Canton for the Northampton game. His dad is a legend in Ireland, think Roy Keane called him his idol at one point.

Would love him to sell but hes definitely here for next season at least , bbm will get fully backed in pre season for one more shot at promotion as if we go up again tan will get the price he wants for the club

Unless Tan lowers his valuation of the club I can’t see too many buyers unfortunately.
