to be fair, im betting the trip didnt cost anything to cardiff city. they wanted malky there in person rather than on a screen..

i bet they flew from london with malaysian airlines, im betting tan and co. have a good relationship with the airline and seats may not even have cost anything.. same for accom.. they could have sponsored the trip.. it does happen a lot.

i went out to abu dhabi in november and ethiad sponsored our trip, we had 15 complimentary flight seats and 8 suites in a hotel in dubai at no expense to the company..

Personally I think its more to do with a rumour that was put around a few days ago that he's over there to 'beg' them not to sell Whitts.

truth........we dont know :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

the answer is that discussing tranfers isnt the primary goal of the trip but for malky to have input into the grass roots scheme the malaysians are setting up in cardiff city's name out in malaysia and then no doubt malky will take the opporunity to discuss the first team face to face


This Malaysian academy isn't as things seem. Apparently Kevin Cooper is ready to resign


Do you know why?

Maybe his missus doesnt like the heat, maybe he's been offered a better paid job elsewhere?
