- Crazy world For Mr Tan... He's spent £100m taking Cardiff to the Premier League but is hated by fans for turning shirts red and appointing an unqualified 23-year-old
Vincent Tan will fly 14 hours in his private plane from his mansion in Kuala Lumpur to take his seat on Sunday in Cardiff at the biggest club football match ever staged in Wales — a hostile derby of fear and loathing against fierce rivals Swansea.
It is perhaps staggering to those outside Cardiff that Tan, who has invested around £100million in the club, could be the most vilified man in the capital of the Principality today. But in the eyes of thousands of Cardiff fans, he has been reduced from shining knight to court jester.
Nathan Blake, former Cardiff and Wales striker, admits to being bemused by the Malaysian billionaire’s treatment.
