' Tan Sri Vincent Tan decisions '

Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:08 pm

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his agent are under investigation from the Norwegian FA and FAW over transfers of players to Cardiff City from Molde. The FAW are currently investigating claims made by Molde to the Norwegian FA. The FAW are keeping a tight lid on the investigation.

Tan Sri Vincent Tan had to pay £2.5million out of his own pocket in May of this year which was missing in a black hole created by Simon Lim who got the contract wrong over the structure of the payments to Tottenham Hotspur for Stephen Caulker.

Cardiff City agreed, through an Italian agent, a £150k,000 compensation deal with Dundee for their manager Paul Hartley but Hartley wouldn't sign or agree to conditions set out by Tan Sri in the contract.

Malky Mackay's court case is still ongoing and our owner is extremely confident he will prove through the process that he was right to sack Mackay.

200 part time staff were informed last week that their contracts with the club will be terminated and Tan Sri is pleased that it is another saving for business, you will no longer see programme sellers and ticket sellers in booths outside the stadium on match days. Many of the 200 were sub contracted stewards.

Representatives for Tan Sri were in London yesterday and today discussing the vacant managers position, Mehmet Dalman, Ken Choo and Michael Issacs and now that Russell Slade has handed in his resignation at Leyton Orient, it is hoped that a deal will be signed off to have Slade as manager in time for the Sheffield Wednesday game this Saturday.

You would av to question who seriously is advising him..... He has clearly shown he has got no clue about anything football related!,, yet he wants to be hands on because he is with his other businesses..... This is not the same. He should be the owner not the one who medals with team affairs....

Staff - make sure Tan knows he's missed the chance to begin a football legacy at Cardiff City and that his PL ambitions are dead.

If there will be no staff in the programme booths does that mean that to get a programme youd have to go to the club shop?

Any wrong doing must be investigated.

one thing after another to moan about.....

Nobody buys programmes - They are red with that wank badge on them. Just a small way of financing the red revolution.

Hope all the people who lost their jobs are ok.
We're paying some right useless twats tens of thousands of pounds a week to do nothing, yet its a great that Tan is cutting costs by sacking normal folk whos extra jobs help make ends meet?
Modern football sucks.

I have not bought a programme since the day of the Rebrand and I have collected everyone since 1972.

Its not Tans fault that the premier league fans have left. We drop from 27K to 17K and we expect things to go on as normal. It standard business practice.

Staff you are correct as I told annis and Carl about this back in February, all I can say is oGS and his agent formed a company that transfers we paid too and ollie is being investigated regarding transfers when he was manager of molde this was going on. But then he didn't to take his name off as one of the directors so it wouldn't be found out but he was getting a cut on all the players that he signed through his agent. Mats Møller Dæhli Transfer molde haven't received a single penny they said they paid Manchester United £2m out of the release clause - so we're has the money gone as Cardiff thought they had paid molde
