SINGAPORE (Reuters) - An educational four-year reign as owner of English second-tier club Cardiff City has been akin to graduating with a PhD in soccer management, Malaysian Vincent Tan told Reuters on Wednesday.

But the chastening experiences of relegation, the hiring and firing of managers, fan objections to kit colour changes and upcoming court cases have only strengthened Tan's commitment to Cardiff and he plans more soccer investment in Europe and MLS.
