Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has threatened to walk away while insisting that he deserves an apology from Cardiff fans and the British media, whom he accused of racism.

Tan, who has not been a popular figure with the club's fans, took charge of Cardiff in 2010 and changed the club's historic colours from blue to red in a marketing ploy, the report added.

According to Metro.co.uk, Tan said that although some of his family members wanted him to leave, as no one was grateful to him, he would stay until the fans really 'p***' him off to the extent of leaving.

Tan reportedly blasted the British media too saying that some people misled it, feeding media wrong information and painted him like a 'villain' adding that sometimes the British media got a little 'racist'.

Tan, also got in a deep argument in a farcical showdown with Cardiff's former boss, Malkay Mackay this season, the report added.
