Thursday 28th Nov 2013

The Bluebirds' Turkish Cypriot chairman Mehmet Dalman is reported to have met with Vural according to the Turkish press.


After Malky Mackay has endured weeks of speculation surrounding his position since the sacking of right hand man Iain Moody, Turkish manager Yilmaz Vural has tonight been linked with the post


Out-of-work Turkish manager Yilmaz Vural is tonight being touted by sources on the continent as a replacement for Malky Mackay at Cardiff City.

The much travelled 60-year-old , who resigned from Elaz??spor at the end of last season,has managed most of the top clus in his homeland and has apparently claimed the Premier League outfit have been in touch.

He told turkish-football.com "It wouldn't be right for me to say anything while the club in mention [Cardiff City] have a manager but we have been in contact" Vural said.

"Also I have been approached by two clubs in the lower league, it's a case of waiting now."

The latest developments follow an article in the Daily Mail which linked Vural with a move to the UK.

"Everyone in the world looks up to the Premier League and around the world everyone tries to take something from English football," Vural said speaking to the Daily Mail.

"It is the professional game at its highest. Everyone is in love with it and in Turkey we are in love with it."

Well, considering that the Mail have been spot on with most things about us over the past few months this might have some truth to it.

Surely this can't be right? Replace one of the best young managers in world football with a journeyman from one of the weaker European leagues? It would be insane. We'll be a laughing stock. Only one man is stupid enough to contemplate this....

This doesn't add up. All the reports said the Dalman was Malky's biggest ally. He's supposed to be a football man. So now he's talking to an unknown Turk about Malky's job. Behind his back?

Re: Reports are getting stronger regarding City replacing Ma

Thu Nov 28, 2013 9:39 pm

Tan wants us to progress and will aim much higher, if we are going to float, he won't add any value, it will be a big name.....

Talk is head of recruitment the position is not as malkys replacement

Re: Reports are getting stronger regarding City replacing Ma

Thu Nov 28, 2013 10:20 pm

maybe that song will have a negative effect on Malky with Tan not liking being second fiddle. just a thought like :o

Wez, hopefully this will be the worst car scenario case once the dust has settled ;) :ayatollah: :malky:

I am sure Malky will be delighted with this appointment if true. Sounds like Tan is trying to force him out.

Re: Reports are getting stronger regarding City replacing Ma

Thu Nov 28, 2013 10:44 pm

Why would our club replace a well respected young up and coming manager with a 60year old unknown turk? Don't make sense to me. Cant see it myself. I know tan doesn't make the best of decisions for the most part when it comes to football, but surely he can see it would be daft to replace a gifted young manager with a jobless 60year old turk. If it does happen then ill be on the turks case from the word go with strong worded chants

Re: Reports are getting stronger regarding City replacing Ma

Thu Nov 28, 2013 10:49 pm

who?? Tan must love the championship or something, it is a good league but i fancy this for a bit like.... :roll:

Reports getting stronger :laughing5: :laughing5: please don't make me laugh
Shame on this board for posting such bollocks and creating more mischief and rumour for our club. The rags have the excuse of needing to sell newspapers, what's this message boards excuse. Fecking pitiful :o :o

Just that one line should tell you how many straws are being clutched " Vural is also being linked with league one Shefield United, who have a Turkish director" :lol:

Hang on, didn't Sheffield United appoint Nigel Clough last month? Why is this Turkish guy getting linked to them then?

It's just the Eggo copying what was said in the Turkish media. They don't really have any substance at all.

It's fine all these supporters slagging off Tan over anything and everything, no matter how insignificant and praising Malky to the rafters and building it into Tan v Malky :lol: but if it came to one of these two leaving, then it's a complete no brainer! There's plenty of decent managers out there. There certainly aren't many Billionaires who are willing to bank roll our football club. Be careful what you wish for Boyos :thumbup:
