" WEDNESDAY APRIL 4th 2012 UPDATE "

Agree its Gerrard, probably had a go cos he was not starting!

He probably told Malky he missed his penalty on purpose!

Some great news there Carl. As already posted can't see far pass Gerrard as the player who is causing trouble. Looks like we are in for a busy summer, if we go up or not. Happy days

thanks for the update carl, does settling the debt with pmg mean the egg boys are going?

Wiping them and Langston debt out.

It's defo gerrard but in fairness to him he has been a great player with regards to chatting with fans and photos, if what you state about a falling out and it is gerrard then good luck to him as I have loads of respect for the fella

I hope the situations off the pitch are resolved in the summer, its time our club really pushed on now.

As for the playing staff, at least ten players [imho] are going to leave next month, & im pretty sure AG will be one of them!

Isn't it best NOT to speculate as to who it is.

Could be a bit embarrassing if you've got it wrong ?

That answers why conway hasn't been playing if he's had personal.problems,hope they are behind him now,he could be a key player for last 6 games.good news about debt if it happens.

Carl I still got my Hull stub, can you tell me who it is

Blake and Gerrard are idiots so could be either.

If the player isn't in and around the squad then doesn't really matter.

I guess conways non exclusion has been down to this all along

blimey neil cox theres a blast from the past. he was a great captain for the hornets at one point, however his career dropped off quicker than a turd over the edge of a cliff. i remember in his last season for us (still captain) we were playing leicester at the vic. we were 1-0 down and about a minute until half time i think. anyway the left winger had the ball and did our right back, he galloped towards goal and you could see coxy behind him in chase. the player neared the edge of the box and it was quite clear that cox was going to take him out. he not only took him out and got a red card for a lunge from behind but also gave away a penalty. i think we went on to lose 5-2.

still a thoroughly nice gent.

great news on the debt

Could well be Ralls as we have not seen anything from him since his England under 19 game he seems to have sunken without trace fater playing 13 games and spending some time on the bench hope i am wrong though.

Ralls, Darcy and Conway all played a full part in training today.

agree, also answers the question why he has not been playing recently.

Ralls is a young kid still developing, first season with first team squad where league rules mean you can't really carry youngsters on the bench.

This is where revealing anything even without names is damaging, because people come out with all kinds of crap to try to reveal Inspector Clouseau like abilities...

I have been told by somebody that i know that they are in the same gamblers anonymous group as conway

i hope this is not true.... what is it in cardiff that attracts players to this??

Carl I still got my Hull stub, can you tell me who it is

me too

thanks for the info Carl - I always look forward to your updates

Could be Liam Lawrence, he's got a big ego and gets into trouble constantly and hes leaving at the end of the season so maybe thats why they will release the name, he'll be gone

Totally agree Nerd, Should not have been mentioned until season has finished in my opinion.

It will be great to finally be rid of Langston and PMG.

It seems as if the purse strings may finally be loosened next year.

I am also finding it increasingly difficult to find any reason to criticise the approach which the Malaysians have taken and still are taking. Undoubtedly there have been some hiccups (the Shearer debacle comes to mind) but overall they can only be admired and indeed thanked for what they have done for our club so far.

Now, I am not naive enough to think that the time will never come when things may appear different but from the information and knowledge that we have so far I think they've been extremely good for our club. As a supporter I feel more secure that we will still have a club to support when I get old than I have for many years.

I am delighted to say that the club has approximately sold 15,500 season tickets including Premier seating for next season, which is virtually on par to this time last year, in the last few days sales have dropped but there is still another 9 days before the deadline ends on April 13th. There has been an issue in the Family stand with season ticket holders not turning up to games and in particular it has been a case that the adult has turned up regular but not with a child.

The club has had stewards to inform adults entering the Family stand without an accompanied child that they must bring the child with them to the games, the club are not pouncing on first or second time 'offenders' but fans who repeatedly are not attending with a child. Hundreds of letters have been sent to these fans and as a result there are hundreds of seats now available in the Family stand. What the club has found is that many of these fans have relocated for next season and have freed up hundreds of seats for new families.

There was a waiting list for families to become season ticket holders in the Family stand but the club has contacted those interested and the waiting list has been serviced, I am informed that there are still Family stand seats available to buy so anyone interested can contact the club and buy them within the next 9 days.

At 5am on Bank Holiday Monday TG flies into Heathrow airport and will be attending the Watford match before flying back out to Malaysia early hours on Tuesday morning. TG is only flying over for the game.

I want to remind fans that the Malaysians have so far invested £34 million to date and the vast majority is currently a debt to the club but with Summer overhaul of the club's finances, much of that will be turned into shares at later date wiping millions of pounds off the club's debt.

I have had it reiterated to me this week that the Malaysians have every confidence that they will settle the debt to Langston and PMG this Summer and as a result Malky Mackay will have a much bigger budget to work with in the close season than he had last Summer. Malky Mackay knew when he took the job that he would have a workable budget in his first season and that his performance would be monitored, as a result the club rewarded Malky with an improved contract this year and has been told that he will definitely have much more money if everything the Malaysians have planned for the next couple of months works out as they expect it will.

Next season we will have a new coach added to the management and that is former City player Neil Cox. Neil is looking forward to coming back to the club and also working with Malky Mackay. Cox played for City in the 2006-07 season and was also at Watford between 1999-2005.

City recently advertised for 4 positions to join their academy staff and the 4 successful applicants have joined 2 senior academy coaches and have flown to Malaysia where they will spend 6 months working in our academy set up out in Malaysia.

Craig Conway recently told Malky of some personal issues that he has been dealing with and Malky is big on honesty and respect, he demands that from his players, as a result Malky and the club are working with Conway to overcome his problems and Conway is currently working to get his place back in the squad.

There has been a fall-out between Malky and another squad player and from what I am told that player will not play again this season for Malky, if he ever plays again, Malky has stamped his authority and dealt with the offending player, obviously I am not going to name the player but when the time is right, at the season end I expect the whole story to come out but I will not do so while there are six very important games to play in our season. But from what I have been told, I totally back our managers stance on the issue.

As Gwyn updated everyone yesterday on the Young Guns initiative I would like to personally thank everyone who has contributed and who continue to do so and at the end of this season we will be handing a cheque of over £6,000 to Scott Young and his development coaches. This has been a tremendous effort by everyone involved and something we can all be proud of achieving, hopefully we will continue to raise money for good causes again next season.

For Middlesbrough this Saturday we have sold 350 tickets approx, which after a promising start to sales the sales have dried up after recent results. Personally I don't mind as I often find when the numbers are this low we seem to have some of our best trips as a result.

Carl

Was there really any need to post about any personal problems that Craig Conway may be experiencing? Shouldn`t such stuff remain just that , personal?

Other than to increase post numbers on here , what benefit is there in bringing it to anyone`s attention?

Always one who will quote a really long post

Thanks Carl. Good news about the family stand. It always seems to be half empty. If we can fill it with real families, ie adults and children of any relation, then great. Kids are fickle, and can lose interest, fair enough, but the family stand should not be half empty, half full with adults. Give the next generation a chance to see the games

I have been told by somebody that i know that they are in the same gamblers anonymous group as conway

i hope this is not true.... what is it in cardiff that attracts players to this??

Must be that new casino opposite the ground by DW sports and Smyths

Please do not get caught up in the situation involving some player and MM lets focus on the postives of this post and concentrate on the future games. At some point it will come out during this month and cause mayhem if we continue to go on about it.

.be careful what you print about people in those groups mate.he might not want his anonimitty broken.that should come of him and him alone.im a member of a similar group.i don,t mind people knowing but some people don,t want people knowing their buisness because of their jobs etc.hence the anonymous name.not a dig just pointing out

If malky gets a bigger budget will that mean more kenny millers signing for 700k and 25k a week? We could do without that to be honest.
