The Fish Seller 0 Posted October 9, 2013 Gotta love those crazy foreign owners.Next move is sack the head of recruitment with whom your manager has enjoyed a succesful seven year partnership and replace him with a 23 year old kid whose only experience of football was paining the walls on work experience. That this 23 year old is best friends with Vincent Tans son might have influenced the decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted October 9, 2013 Reports are that Iain Moody was leaking confidential information to the press and that is the reason he has gone - the 23 year old lad is a strange move but it is considered unlikely he''ll be given the job permanently and he is filling in until a long term successor can be found. Also heard that Malky was consulted over the decision and he agreed that Moody should go if he was talking to the press behind the club''s back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted October 9, 2013 I''m sure many see Malky as a future Norwich City manager. I certainly do. He''d be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 9, 2013 I doubt he''d leave Cardiff for us. Hopefully he''ll be available when we need a manager next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warren Hill 0 Posted October 9, 2013 I wouldn''t want him within a country mile of our managers job, I''m a little unsure of why anyone would (other than the fact he used to play for us). His teams don''t play the "brand" of football that seems to have become so important and unless we want to be "little Norwich" surely we should be aiming a little higher than Mackay as a prospective future manager..

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted October 9, 2013 @ William Hill - "Little Norwich" is what we are likely to be for sometime yet. Certainly for the next 3-5 years. We could do a lot worse than Mackay. I think he will be our manager one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonzey 0 Posted October 10, 2013 I love to see other clubs owners make crazy harmful decisions. Like Sunderland appointing Di Canio, or the Venkys sacking Allardyce. Now it''s this guy at Cardiff unsettling his highly successful manager. Maybe he''ll go bonkers, sack Malky and appoint his mate from the pub as manager.It all just makes it easier for us to stay in the division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowfuture 71 Posted October 10, 2013 Well that''s true Jonzey, if it leads to the relegation of Cardiff, which can only be good for the rest of us, then that''s fine? But looking at the bigger picture it saddens me that clubs can be treated like rag dolls, by fools who can only see their own self interest. We are talking a PL club that is being run like a local town team! Surely there should be some sort of regulation exercised by the appropriate authorities. It makes me even more proud to be a City fan, we have a properly run club, one of the very few remaining.Where will the game end up if people like Tan continue to be allowed just to walk in and buy a club, I know it''s been going on for a long time but it''s going from the absurd to the ridiculous now.

Zak Van Burger 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Alisher Apsalyamov, the 23-year-old Kazakh who became Cardiff City''s head of recruitment, has erm had to step aside temporarily over what appears to be a visa/right to work issue. [:S] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
