THANK YOU VINCENT TAN

Fri Aug 10, 2012 2:02 pm

Apart from the rebrand, you dipstick....

You have got this Club looking in the best shape ever. We have never had a better squad.
you have given the manager money for players. We LOOK and feel like one of the most
professional outfits in this division. Debt to equity? of course it will happen. But also there
are historic debts you must sort out before sticking your head above the parapet and saying
"I am Cardiff City".. to do that would be madness. Slowly but surely, you have turned this
sinking ship round and we ARE a team to be feared this season more than any other!!!

You've got almost a year now to swallow your pride and change that badge and kit!!!

We are the Bluebirds and proud. Time you sussed that out.

Slowly but surely you have turned us into a major force in the Championship.

We'd be bust without you.

Blue next season for our first foray into the top flight. Thank you :D

Fairy Godmothers are few and far between. Jack Walker is dead. Tan has kept this Club
afloat since he came here AND has been busy clearing all our other debts. Yes, we now
owe him close to 100mil. But the alternative was what? He is turning the debt to equity.
As a Club we cannot possibly ask any more than that.

I'd complain about the 90mil If someone could hand on heart say Tan has been frittering
the money away. Hiring helicopters to go to MacDonalds or big timing it in an Aston Martin.
But no. It has been used up buying players, paying off debts, paying wages, improving
facilities. Again, the alternative was what? he come in and chuck a million in and watch
us drop out of the Championship within a season?

We HAVE to be thankful. Also f*cking elated that he's turning the debt to equity. Even
though its purely a business decision to protect his investment.

my opinion anyway :D

Fair enough. But the fact still remains... without that 90mil. Where would we be?

The fact that Cardiff City owes Vincent Tan 90mil is a good thing in my eyes. He KNOWS
that if he walks, he'll never see a penny. We got f**k all to give him. That in itself to me
proves his validity. He's a very successful man. There has to be an end game. That MUST
be to transfer the debt to equity. Makes perfect sense. We'll still owe him. But hey, what
if Abramovich decided to walk out on Chelsea tomorrow.?? They'd be fucked. What if
the banks foreclosed on Liverpool? or Man Utd?

Until he turns the debt into equity we aint any better off - in fact we are still spending money we aint got. Weve been here before.

All hes doing is lending us - and it may not come cheap. Pay off Sam, turn the debt into equity and perhaps then some of us doubters/realists will be won over.

PS He has terrible taste in colours and cant commission badge designers properly
