| Mr Blue ..... you will die |
I was going to blast off about the latest from on high, no not god, but Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan. However, in my present mood I thought I better calm down so not to give his lawyers a field day.
What I will say is ‘I told you so’ that goes to all the fans rushing out to buy Malaysian flags and believing the messiah had landed with free money. Nothing is free, and there is always a catch somewhere along the line. Chairman should be seen and not heard as a rule. Many are not fans of the club they own just looking for some vehicle to up their profile, they never buy a lower league below the Championship.
This interview with the BBC which can be seen here (See Here) it's sombre viewing and you get the feeling he (Tan) is living on a different plant.
He said he believes he has been portrayed unfairly as a villain with the in house joke in sunglasses and black gloves he looks like a Bond villain.
"I wear sunglasses because of the glare of the spotlights," he said. "I wear gloves because it is very cold in the UK. Frankly, sometimes I think they are nuts making all these comments."
He told the BBC.
For the fans think there could be a softening on the red re-brand they will be disappointed, “No way will I change it back to blue under my ownership," he said. "Perhaps they can find an owner who likes blue, pay up and buy me out. Sure they can go and change it to blue after that. I go somewhere and build another red club."
"Of course it helps that, in Asia, red is a colour of success, festivity, joy. After we changed it, that same season we got promoted. I think that was a good omen, a good sign."
Not much of a good omen, a good sign this season what happened to it being lucky? Where he gets the idea 90% of Cardiff fans base support him just puzzles me, and maybe that’s why he wears the sunglasses, to colour out the blue around the stadium.
Social media and news outlet are awash with opinions about the controversy owner and is latest out-burst. He was suggested that the British press is a little bit racist and his now tied and tested attack on former boss Malky Mackay.
