RedBrizzleRobin Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29411719 Quote: Tan also says if and when Cardiff return to the Premier League, he might consider selling the club. "If I sell Cardiff I would buy another club in the UK," "I'm looking to buy another club in Europe and then I may invest in a club in the US, the MLS (Major League Soccer)." Surely no club in their right mind would touch him with a barge pole! Not after what he has done to Cardiff. The guys a grade A **** and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near another club.

cider-manc Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 He would be a good fit in the USA. Franchises that are happy to switch colours or indeed cities every few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloyal473 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I bet Higgs would sell to him Of course he would. He's willing to sell a war memorial to get his funds back. So selling to Tan would be a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Do you think a club owner gives a monkeys cuss what the next chap does? I could certainly see someone like Birmingham interesting Tan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBrizzleRobin Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 What exactly has Tan done wrong bar change colours? Completely changed their badge along with rebranding them 'Cardiff Dragons'. Only wiped out part of their history/heritage nothing major! Their a franchise now, no better than MK Dons.

cidered abroad Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Red n White quarters would go down well up Horfield! The Gas wore red and white quarters as second strip for a couple of years in the 1950's. Bet their camp followers would like that now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 What exactly has Tan done wrong bar change colours? - Changed the badge - Shown no respect for history and tradition of the club, or the genuine supporters - Thinly veiled threats to leave if the fans disagree with anything he does - Meddled with team affairs - Appointed a work experience guy as head of recruitment - Given the club huge debts owed to him - Made them a laughing stock ...and that's just off the top of my head! That said, as others have said, the vast majority of Cardiff fans only started protesting when the team was on a downer, not when they were heading towards the premier league, so they have zero sympathy from me. It's the small minority who walked away I feel sorry for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityloyal473 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Big difference, SL did not come in and change the colour of our kit.

cityloyal473 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's not the point They were prepared to put up with a colour change on condition of further funding. Red or dead they were told. They rolled over and let him do it, without a whimper. Now they're in more debt than when he started, still in red and in the championship. Only now are they finding a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 cardiff were more then happy to laugh at us when they pasted us in the league only to cry foul when he started to make the changes he wanted to the club, Cardiff fans have themselfs to blame for not protesting the changes, Hull's owner wanted to change their name whollop protests and he had to stop, Tan is a business man he isn't intrested in the history of a club or how the fans feel, he only wants to make money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Successful business men are not investing in football clubs to make money, surely they are not that daft? Seldom does a football club run at a profit. They are doing it for the status quo and/or to give back to the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the massive amounts of cash the prem brings plus he has the east asia market which is massive, on paper they won't run at a profit cus he will take the cash out like olson does at blackpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the small minority who walked away I feel sorry for. I don't know one single Cardiff fan who has walked away and I know the most die hard of bluebird/red dragons, trust me. When they were in the prem the colour and badge change problem fizzled out to a degree. The man has given a club with a pretty dire history the ultimate glory, premier league football, he's not popular but in time that'll fade, especially if he gets them back to the "promised land". At first I thought he'd rape them, strip them of all assets on relegation but it seems he's there to stay and IMHO that only means continued success. Plus I like that he changed their identity and made them a laughing stock, it somehow softens the fact that at the moment they are light years ahead of us.

WTFiGO!?! Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I tend to agree with you here, a lot on here take the moral high ground against Cardiff but I have no doubt while not universally happy much like Cardiff fans, a good 70% of our support would soon forget if we were mixing it up with the prem elite...I genuinly believe if people can't see this then they are very blinkeredI think if City changed from red to blue, there'd be a ******* riot!
