A picture has released this morning of a man who looks awfully like Vincent Tan at Bosnian side FK Sarajevo's press conference. He's reportedly bought the club. The link to the tweet displaying the picture is below, I'm on mobile so if someone could embed it for me that would be great.
So, what does this mean for us?

Can't seem to remember where i heard sometime ago that Vincent Tan was thinking about buying another club which was to be used as a feeder club for the Bluebirds. Hope someone will prove me right or wrong.

Three potential options for buying the club off the top of my head:
A) A feeder club?
B) Tan has the football bug bad
C) He's fed up with us and wants to move elsewhere
Also, doesn't he already own another eastern european club?

Well he did mention in the interview that the club could be used as a feeder for Cardiff City fc. Perhaps that's where Malky is going to get his January reinforcements from? Would save Tan a few bob lol.

I did find comments relating to this having happened quite a while ago, but couldn't find anything myself. Sticking Sarajevo into Google brings up lots of foreign news articles including Vincent Tan's name from the last 24 hours.
Their Wikipedia page mentions no takeover either.

Just a thought....would Tan, by buying this club, allow him to have some sort of work around to the visa issues that are currently stopping Malaysian players coming over to play for us?
In theory, this new club could buy some Malaysian players and play them for a season or two and then we could pick them up without a visa being an issue?

Very good point there Rhys. I think you may have hit the nail on the head.Rhys wrote:

This happened about seven months ago. It was quite a big story at the time, with many wondering what repercussions it may have on the club.
Their current manager has been linked with Malky's job over the last week.
