Cardiff City today confirmed the appointment of Ken Choo, who joins the club in the role of general manager.

But what do we know about Mr Choo?

He is a Bachelor of Commerce and a member of the Australian CPA


He is also a Chartered Accountant with the Malaysian Institute of Accountants and an Associate Member of the Tax Institute of Malaysia


He served as a Senior Auditor for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Malaysia.


He has extensive management experience in the corporate business sector, including his most recent position as General Manager at Berjaya Hotels and Resorts in London.






' Cardiff City's backroom reshuffle '


On the appointment, executive chairman Mehmet Dalman said: “We are pleased to welcome Ken to Cardiff City in the role of general manager, adding a wealth of knowledge and experience as the club moves forward.

“Ken will be responsible for shaping the business, making us more efficient and getting the best out of our talented staff.

“Ken will also join the newly formed Executive Committee, alongside Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Tan Sri Vincent Tan’s representative and myself.

“The committee will openly discuss and agree all major decisions in the best interests of Cardiff City, which is a positive step for this club to take.”

This new Executive Committee sounds interesting. Ole, Dalman, Tan's representative, and Choo. If Dalman really is a football man, then now's his chance to prove it. But I suppose Tan really controls everything.

It could be a way for Vincent Tan to return us to blue without losing face - he brings in this new manager and makes it known that all commercial decisions will be soley down to him (Mr Choo) and that despite being adamant that his decision to re-brand to red was a correct one in the first place, he nevertheless pins his faith in his new manager's decision making.


...well, I can live in hope!

That is not too far from the mark there! Exactly what I was hoping for. If Tan is to allow a return to BLUE, he will need a way of saving face. It's a cultural thing. Fingers crossed!!!

My cynical old brain is in overdrive at the moment over Mr Choo. I wonder if this is Tans way of trying to correct the biggest cock up he has ever made and save face, by this I mean the RED debarcle.
I am expecting to hear shortly that Mr Choo has advised the Emperor to go back to Blue and respect his customer base a little more. :thumbup: :thumbup: :bluescarf:

I don't think you're being cynical! This could happen for the reasons you gave. I am quite excited about the prospect of a "fresh set of eyes" on the situation. Tan can just state publicly that he is leaving the decision to his general manager. We could return to BLUE but I'm not sure how much notice the FA needs for this. The new strip hasn't been unveiled yet so maybe it's not too late for the coming season???

In my opinion choo is looking at the financial situation at the club to see how best tan can walk away at the end of the season as stated by an is he is set to leave whatever happens he is fed up with football in Cardiff it's not what he expected and will get what he can back.he is not actively looking to sell but will go under right circumstances.
