Vincent Tan's playground change!!

Fri May 25, 2012 11:39 am

£84m Facebook share profits going into the club!

This is a rather insignificant amount of cash to tan and his berjaya empire. Has he now decided its time to shift some of his spare change into the club?

With the noises that we're upping the Rodriguez bid from £5.5m -you'd have to start thinking it?

I'm just asking the question?

Tan makes £84m the same month rebranding is considered, and now we're smashing transfer bid records....

Makes you think huh?

Would he want to sell his shares at the moment? Facebook's share price has gone done considerably since flotation.

"Will he hold or sell his Facebook shares?"

“We will see where it goes,” said Tan. “We will probably sell them for our business. We don’t want to hold them for too long but will see where the shares go after the IPO.”

I hope this other buisness he means Cardiff City.....

Unless VT sold his Facebook shares and the day they were floated his shares are now worth nowhere near £84M.

How do we really know if he has or hasn't?
