BBM: Tan would tell me where to go if I rung every day

Tue Aug 25, 2026 9:49 pm

BBM:

"The club works in a way where if we need something, we go to Vincent Tan.

But I wouldn't be ringing him every single day looking for things. I think he wouldn't be long telling me where to go."

A lot of us have been telling Tan "where to go" for years, he's an arrogant, dictator who is suffocating the momentum being made by BBM.

If they had a school report I'm sure it would say "No urgency in completing tasks and could do better". "Communication seems to be a problem for this group and they should be encouraged to be more forthcoming and open with people". 5/10.

That's not the reason I've been calm, I've just always said I'll wait until the end of the window.

We'll probably never know if we were going to spend that money but I can understand why people think not considering we've spent so little so far.

Even BBM mentioned last night how little we'd spent!

It was from Glen, asked how invested Tan was in the club (in both senses) and how the communication works - is he on the phone day to day?

I don't quite get the thrust of this thread.

We have an owner who has multiple businesses. Why would he have daily contact on transfers with the management team of one of those businesses - even if it is an important one-which has clearly been given a budget and are working to an agreed plan?

Surely, you let them get on with it and respond to a major issue/question if/when it is raised.

Standard business stuff really.
