What he done was negligent IMO and is sending us down. Whilst I want to be able to give him credit for taking us up I can't because his transfer dealings could be the final nail in the financial coffin that sees the club head towards the trap door. All at a time when a bit of clever wheeling and dealing and budgeting could have seen us start making progress in the right direction.

The day Malky spent all that money on crap was the day our fate was pretty much sealed. Spending that amount on a carthorse like Cornelius and overspending on Caulker and Medel is just asking for relegation as a newly promoted club.

Sorry to say but Roathie called it right again. We should have bought loads of cheaper players and filled out the squad.

A massive error of judgement on MM part, imho. Shortly after our promotion, there was hardly a queue of good quality proven Premiership class players wanting to join us,,it was more like a bunch of circling shark agent scenting blood & flesh that got to him,,,regardless of this in depth dossier he claimed to have on players. The fact is, after a pre summer of rumors of difficulty in attracting new players, he made a statement of intent early in July by signing AC,,,,all very well, but not at a price that VT wanted. Remember VT's interview where he stated he wanted value for money "Michu" type players that scored goals???

I believe MM gambled on AC,,,just like he gambled on Velikonja last season, the problem was he couldn't afford to make the same mistake a second time with a newly promoted club in the Premiership.

The psychological impact of losing your job especially in the very public manner Tan humiliated him outweighs all the money in the world, you wouldn't understand.

This is Malky posting from his sun-bed in florida, with a pina colada laughing his ass off ain it? :roll:

Hilarious that a Norwegian is posting on a Cardiff City forum from his armchair.
