BOO 0 Posted December 29, 2013 "Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has already established himself as one of the more colourful foreign owners in English football.But Tan’s strange habits go a lot further than changing the club’s colours and then deciding to hate the manager – after his bizarre transfer plans were revealed.According to reports, Tan has informed Cardiff’s board that he prefers them to buy players with the number eight in their birth date.So for example, any player born on January 8th 1988 would be right in there with Tan, who is planning on splashing the cash on new signings in the new year.Eight is a respected number in Malaysia, and Tan in particular has a keen likening to it, with the news coming as no surprise to those who know the Cardiff supremo closely."Looks like the strange ways of Tan continue to surprise, or maybe not!

Am sure there were plenty of know it alls on here saying we had no chance of him when his name was suggested as a replacement to Hughton" Yes because that definitely means that Sky Sports have inside information and they have no interest at all in driving money to outside bets on SkyBet.
