So Leeds can put in a performance McDermott but Cardiff couldn't for Malky?
First example I could think of there will be better ones.

All clubs have drama it just happens to be ours is more public than some and every little thing that goes on down there now will be magnified x1394940201.
Funnily enough there haven't been as many stories about tan since Malky and moody left.
Bet there won't be any problems like we saw between Malky and tan with ole.

The players constantly put performances in for Malky and that's why we got to the Premiership, beat Man City and started well this season. But the players aren't machines, they're human beings who can't keep it going forever though can they, especially when they were constantly against superior teams with superior players with our tough run of home games in the first half of the season. We will always hear stories about Tan because he can't keep his mouth shut. Once again, as soon as we win a game he lets his mouth get carried away. One of Tan's main reasons for sacking Malky was because he supposedly aired dirty linen in public. From Tan's latest comments, I think it's obvious who the main culprit was with airing the dirty linen. But for now, Tan will kiss Ole's backside because he needs Ole to prove he made the correct decision unnecessarily sacking Malky.

It was a correct decision so he has nothing to prove, and that's not me being fickle I was a big Malky fan but he had to go.

He played his part in all that happened and is far from innocent.

Possibly one of the stupidest things I've read.

I don't like tan for a lot of things he has done but he has also done good.

Blaming him for Malky not getting us more points is ludicrous.

I think ole is better than Malky too, but that won't make the papers or piss people off will it...


Tan in my opinion has been destructive with his off the pitch bombshells which knocked the stuffing out of the fans and the team. I 100% blame Tan for our 3-0 defeat to Southampton. How you can honestly say Tan's email, the 45 minute protest at Anfield, the surprise Malky was still manager for the Southampton game and the uncertainty Tan caused as a whole had no impact on our Southampton performance is beyond me!

But it was happening last season, we were flying over the Christmas period, then there was scarfgate! What happened at scarfgate? We lost 2-0, and our run of form for the next couple of months severely dipped. Look at our bad patches and you will see Tan's disruption is linked to almost all of it! At least a couple of our bad patches can't be just a coincidence in my opinion anyway! If we get relegated, it won't be Malky's fault, it won't be Ole's fault, it will be Tan's fault!



Malky can do no wrong in your eyes.

It is laughable that you blame scarfgate for that loss to Brighton it really is. We outplayed Brighton but their keeper (like in our 0-0 with them earlier on in the season) made some great saves and then they countered us. Nothing to do with scarfgate.

We had a pretty poor second half to the season in Malky's first season. Any excuses for that? Seen as you blame our sticky end to last season on scarfgate.

Look back at Watford in 2010/11 they also had a bad end to the season so any other excuses you are going to make? Same with their 09/10 season. Again, more excuses?

Fact is that Malky's teams always dropped off in the 2nd half of the season. Scarfgate isn't an isolated incident the previous 3 seasons where Malky was in charge proves this.

You always seem to make it look like Malky does no wrong. Harping on about beating bottom half sides when Newcastle were 11th when they beat us.

If we get relegated all three men you mentioned will be at fault. Not just one as you say. Tan doesn't manage the team or make signings, Ole/Malky does/did, nor does he set up tactics. Yes he has been disruptive and I am sure it has taken some effect on the players but to solely blame Tan if we get relegated is just insane.

:ayatollah: :ole: OLE is a hero in Norway . Because of his professional attityde and intelligence regards football.
He is a hero in Manu as a player, as a rep for this club, and as a trainer for the reserve team There.
He is a produkt of Alex Fergurson, and he want to play this kind of football.
Ole already started to change the way Bluebirds play now, with Many new signings.
In the longer run, Cardiff Could not be more lucky with their manager.
From a norwegian cardiff fan. :ayatollah:

I 100% disagree with every point you've made there. Malky's first season we had a small squad and got to the cup final, the amount of games we played expectedly took its toll. Last season our performances improved towards the end after a dodgy couple of months following scarfgate. I remember the Leicester and Derby home games in particular where we were very poor but fortunately, Noone and Rudy bailed us out with late equalisers.

I notice you only brought up scarfgate as one of many occasions where Tan has caused disruptions off the pitch. It's a coincidence how our form always seems to get affected when Tan drops one of his bombshells and I have no doubt what's happening off the pitch is at the back of the players minds, as the players are human beings just like everyone else. I know if my boss was making outrageous decisions and comments, I would be wondering what the hell is going on and what will happen next anyway!

I don't know why you're bringing Watford into this, I am talking about our club and our lunatic owner. I have never stated Malky can do no wrong as he has made a couple of poor signings this season. But I'm certain Malky would have kept us up and sacking him was an unnecessary gamble not worth taking. For the record, I am behind Ole and think he will be a great manager for us, but you've even admitted Tan's actions have caused disruptions. If Tan kept his nose out, I think we would be in a lot better position that we're in now, regardless of whether we have Malky or Ole as manager.

I disagree with you completely.

Every club has issues just ours became public.

Zaha shagged moyes daughter, pardew is known to f**k about with players wives did it at west ham, players often don't talk to eachother. A lot more is being made of our clubs issues than need to be. The press and loads of individual fans will blow it up completely out of proportion.

Think about it, tan gave out free red scarfs to a club that plays in red how is that really going to bother the players and make them play worse I'm laughing just typing it as it sounds crazy.
