An Initial Public Offering (IPO) would sell shares in the club to the public for the first time, in an attempt to gain capital to expand the business.

In April 2014, Tan (through one of his representatives) bought a two-year-old colt from Doncaster Bloodstock Breeze-Up Sales for £190,000. It will be trained by Australian Jeremy Gask in Wiltshire. Eamonn Wilmott, Gask’s business partner, said: “We are very excited, and pleased to have Mr Tan involved. The horse looks exceptional and dominated the parade rings outside the sales.”

Moody was initially added to the backroom staff by then manager Malky Mackay, and helped Cardiff sign several players ahead of their inaugural Premier League campaign. He was replaced by Alisher Apsalyamovby, a 23-year-old Kazakh who was previously on work experience with the club and is a friend of Tan’s son. A few months later, following an investigation over Apsalyamovby’s visa, he was forced to leave the club.
