Cardiff City Owner Vincent Tan Says He Is Not 'Actively' Looking To Sell Club

League Championship side Cardiff City Owner Vincent Tan insisted "he is not actively looking" to sell the club, according to Dafydd Pritchard of the BBC. There "has been speculation the Malaysian businessman is pursuing offers" for the Welsh club he bought in '10. Reacting after reports "re-emerged that he was seeking to off-load the Bluebirds," Tan reiterated that he will "only sell at the right price." When asked if he was looking to sell, Tan said, "No, I always say this. You don't fall in love with your businesses. If somebody offers the right price, yeah we'll sell." Tan watched from the stands as Cardiff beat Aston Villa 3-0 on Saturday. He did not attend any home games in the previous two campaigns. Speculation that Tan was "actively looking to sell the club intensified in July when reports highlighted a brochure for prospective buyers" put together by WMG, a company belonging to Cardiff Chair Mehmet Dalman (BBC, 8/12).
