Guest av1 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Given how fondly the Cardiff fan's think of mackay, and the protests against the nutter in charge, you feel whoever comes in needs to hit the ground running or it could get very messy down there. Like stoke, one thing cardiff have going for them is a very noisy crowd, lose them and Cardiff would (imo) have every chance of going down.

chrisp65 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Since the billionaire owner sacked their first popular manager (Dave Jones), changed the team colours and changed the club badge, crowds have gone up and season ticket sales topped out over 20k. His plan is to have a brand wearing lucky red called the Dragons that he can sell and franchise throughout Malaysia as their foothold in the Premier League. Cardiff, population 350,000 is a vehicle to sell Premier League in Malaysia, population 28,000,000. Tan has made his money several ways, he introduced Mcdonalds into Malaysia, he took over the state lottery and he has various sports and gambling interests. It'll take more than 500 protestors (many in visit Malaysia logo shirts), to convince him he's got it wrong. Be careful what you wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the new man does well they will be right behind him. Just like what happened at Southampton last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I guess we might see what will happen if you can attract OGS and give him backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a match down in deepest Llanelli today, people there watched the first half (early kick off), then travelled 60 miles over to Cardiff, to pay to get in, to walk out in the 19th minute as part of a protest. Odd way of protesting, paying your money and walking out, but I'm sure they feel they've done what they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 At least Tan goes to the Cardiff managers and takes an active approach in the club. Not all owners can say they do the same. Definitely not saying Tan is a good owner from that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
