RedM Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Just heard this on radio 5. Talk is that the manager wants Tan banned from the dressing room, with that in mind bookmakers apparently give Malky Mackay odds of 4-1 that he will be the next Prem manager to be sacked!

HoldenBall Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Brilliant, they could be top of the league for all I care they are still the laughing stock of football, long may the tan man stay at the 3rd biggest welsh club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Tan is banned from the dressing room. Mackays agent is being well........an agent and stirring shit up. The Borat was brought in to help manage the maintenance at Lego Land, but has since been promoted as the story details. His experience or the job oes as far as watching some old games on his laptop. The thing is though, they are in the premier league yet they till moan, a bunch of arrogant fickle supporters. I sit in praise of modern football.

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 First Roy Kinnear at Sid James park, now some kid at Cardiff. Football is no laughing matter, I wish these people would remember this. I suppose this kid, the owner's son's chum, can "call any manager in the country" too, and he's more cleverer than all the fans, too. Maybe Roy had a word with Vincent last weekend when the Loon army popped by and helped themselves to three points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 ....but it couldn't happen here. Could it? Yeah, what's the difference. Our owner has brought in his son who has, to my knowledge, no prior football business experience. Perhaps, like us, they'll turn to sh*t and get relegated - so what, they'll still be at least a division higher than us next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Don't think we are in any position at all to take the piss, no matter how ridiculous Tan makes them look.

The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I like a good laugh but I don't think it's appropriate to laugh at anyone right now. Cardiff have a large potential fan base, a council that backs them and a new stadium. Granted they are run by an egomaniac but when he's had his fun, someone will come in and fill their boots, they are a very attractive proposition for the next Sheik or Tycoon, we on the other hand are a complete mess at the moment both on and off the field. On the plus side it can only get better, unless we get relegated, which on current form should be somewhere around the march time. In the name of transition god help us......

Major Isewater Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Tan is clearly following the Blackburn route to success. I think he must have misheard the chants aimed at him as "Tan, you're a Venky". A genuine "Cardiff" fan you are .Must be bitter sweet for you guys . For us at the moment it's bitter but hoping for sweet tomorrow ( nothing has really changed here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he must have misheard the chants aimed at him as "Tan, you're a Venky". Well there are parallels there, especially if the "should be in the top 4" thing is true coupled with the barmy appointment of a sons mate. Cardiff seem to be in a strong posistion, too strong for an eccentric chairman to mess up this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Right Honourable Les Q Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I probably find the whole thing almost as funny as you lot do. The time for worrying about what happens off the field at my club has long gone. I ignore those shenanigans as much as possible and focus on what happens on the pitch. And I've been enjoying that very much up until now. Here, here! Me too. I thought Newcastle deserved their win, Tottenham toyed with your boys, Everton really should have won, but you did jolly well against Fulhum and Hull. Well done! Looks like you're in for a thrilling battle against the drop-like us! We should compare notes. We would ignore the off field stuff, too, only there's no one off field doing anything. They've all "done one," scarpered! And the stuff on the field isn't all that great to look at, none of the top draw, classy visiting players you have to look at. Except Peterbrough's, and the ones from Wolves that waltzed about the Gate for an hour. Look out for them. Is your "gaffer" being nice to you lot and your new friends filling your place? Ours is jolly rude. He's struggling to "win" many of ours over right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Right Honourable Les Q Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 You really are scraping the barrel now aren't you? The best you can do is to criticise the way we beat Man City and Fulham. And well done you for spending your time looking for streams for the non-televised games which you've watched and cast judgement on Blimey, this one's touchy. Maybe this premierleagueship isn't all that after all. Or maybe they're worrying about the table, like us, already? Everybody's so tetchy right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 It's quite reassuring that despite their position, I do not feel any hint of jealousy towards them, in fact I feel lucky not to be in their situation. Whereas only a few seasons ago, had they got promoted before the re-brand, this would not be the case and I'd envy their position above us. I'd rather be at the bottom of League 1 watching my club instead of watching a pathetic imitation of Cardiff City that is essentially being used as a toy by Vincent Tan.

The time for worrying about what happens off the field at my club has long gone. I ignore those shenanigans as much as possible and focus on what happens on the pitch. And I've been enjoying that very much up until now. Slightly outside of this topic, I went to the Cardiff vs. Newcastle game on the weekend (After BCFC, Newcastle are my second club) - it's my first visit to the stadium and I must say that it made me realise just how far we are away from the promised land. In the first half, I would have stated that Cardiff were a really poor side, Newcastle (who are lacking form) looked an absolutely different class but to be fair you looked better in the second half, I can see you having to fight a relegation fight but would put simply, enjoy it whilst it lasts - you've just got to hope this Tan chap doesn't help the club to implode? Whilst I'd like there to be a Severnside derby again at some point soon, being realistic, it's more likely to be against Newport County to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Right Honourable Les Q Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 If the thing earlier about "streams" and what have you was directed at me, I think regular visitors to my jibber, jabber and newsy updates will enjoy a wry smile at the idea. That must involve some digital-tech know how and what have you. Not my bag, not at my stage of life. No, it was something called 'Match of the Day.' On the BBC. They do a fine job covering all the top flight action. It's a highlights package, so it might be that the one way traffic in the Everton and Spurs games was the result of biased editing, unfairly portraying the plucky newcomers as second best.

Second half we did improve a lot as you said but the damage was done by then. So far this season we've had one poor game against the Hammers and one poor half against Newcastle, so I'm pretty happy with that. You are right that avoiding relegation is our priority of course. On current form we will but there's a long way to go. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
