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.



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


If there was anything into this, why has there not been one letter about this in the Norwegian media? Ole putting transfer money in his pocket? I will believe this when I see a court decision on it.

I've emailed VT and Dalman with some recommended simple research ideas to help them gain the perspective & insights that everyone apart from them seem to see. These are as follows:-

'Please research the following topics and discuss their meaning in relation to your executive managerial record and results at Cardiff City Football Club:-

1. The Blind Leading The Blind.
2. More Money Than Sense.
3. The Emperors New Clothes.
4. How To Win Friends And influence People'.

I know a few norwegian journalist that have been investigating oGS for the past few years and they have got all the information they need and it's will all come to a head there as well.

I noticed the bit about Hartley who wouldn't agree to conditions imposed in the contract by Vincent Tan.

I wonder what those conditons were?

To pick the team Vincent wants?
To make the substitutions Vincent wants?
To wear a cap with the beermat badge shown prominently at all times?

Is Slade prostituting himself just to get the job?

So Tan wants to balance the books'so he throws away thousands of pounds in shirt sales because he likes red. :laughing6: Nutter.

So it this the latest set of reasons why Tan won't paid off somebody ? You couldn't make it up FFS

With all due respect, it states in op that another manager is being investigated for whatever reason and people pick up on the fact that they have to go to the clubshop for a programme or am i reading this wrong?

Barcelona and Madrid give fans a programme gratis, so im guessing that would be the norm over there for most clubs, It's all about screwing the fans for every last pound over here

Staff you don't answer posts not sure why but I have my suspicions. But I have some questions for you if you would care to answer them.
1/ If OGS is under investigation for missing monies - how come a 2.5 million severance package has been paid out (revealed by yourself) was agreed ?

2/ If Tan had any suspicions surely Tan would of sacked OGS and refused to pay out. Would that be correct Staff ?

Having watched Real Madrid a number of times now I can tell you that the whole programme thing differs vastly over there to what we are used to in the UK. Its far less quality and they are given out free of charge when entering the stadium. In most cases they're either ripped up & used as confetti or merely discarded after a quick flick through. However with such high prices for a ticket then Im certain that the price for the programme is incorporated in your ticket price anyway.

Fair comment, I kept the programme from real Madrid, is a nice soveneir. Its more like a poster book you are right. Great for the kids though, and above all, is gratis. The last freebie our club gave away was scarf's :laughing6: :ayatollah:

I dont buy programmes, never have really. Just wondered why people missed the point that OGS is being investigated. Surely this is bigger news than programmes not being sold in a booth outside the stadium

Because surely if it was making money no matter how big or small the figure is it seems like a strange decision to cut back on
