Manager for 2 years over 100 years of tradition...

Sun Oct 13, 2013 11:27 pm

Seems that many here have accepted the destruction of the identity Cardiff City yet find a managerial sacking/resigning too much to handle? Hes been with you for two years, spent the most money (net) than any other club in the Championship along with Hull to get you promoted and has largely played one of the worst brands of top tier football ive ever seen after spending the 5th highest amount in the Premier League this season. I just dont get it.

This really is a fruitloop of a club :lol:

Roathie, it is not the sacking of Malky that has upset people it is Tans meddling in football affairs. Malky walks and people will turn against Tan because Tan said he wouldn't interfere in footballing affairs. By sacking Malky's right hand man (The rights of wrongs of which is for another time) and then putting in some Kazakh painter is a deliberate attempt to show Malky he will do what he wants.

Hes the owner and a dictator, he will always have a hand in footballing affairs.

I just dont understand why its fine for him to show you guys, as supporters, that hell do whatever he wants and completely change the club on a whim (some have supported the club for 50 years plus) but he cant tell your manager of 2 years to do what he wants.

By supporting a man like this facilitate a takeover of your club, then surely it comes with the territory, he can do whatever he likes and this was clear from day 1 which makes it even more bizarre when people slate the likes of TLG. The likes of him have stood up and did their bit to protect cardiff as a club and it was everyone elses duty to follow suit. They didnt and are now crying about the repercussions.

I agree. No idea why people love Malky to the point where they'd walk if he goes.

Roathie is right. Its a shame he doesn't post in an articulate manner like this more often. Although, the same could be said of myself.

Always do Barnett. It just depends if you agree or not as to how you view my post it seems. You will be hard pushed to find a post from me that isnt in the same mould as this (apart from after the thread has descended into the usual roathie slanging which i happily exchange in).

If you agree then you say my post is good, if you disagree then you say im looking for bites, which i can honestly say ive never done contrary to popular belief. I just have a different thought process to most, a better one if you ask me :thumbup:

i have already posted this,and agree that an owner will always get involved,and it seems so much more important to many is malky than our identity.....

Glad the majority of responses have been sensible however, it seems we are all in agreeance.

Your new breed of fan has certainly taken hold.

Re: Manager for 2 years over 100 years of tradition...

Mon Oct 14, 2013 1:53 pm

Roathie, not for the first time, your points are somewhat valid and many (certainly not all) will agree with the basic sentiment of what is written

However, what I personally don't get is your macabre obsession with a rival club and your obsession with pointing out what is often blindingly obvious :?

Honest question: Is it a genuine interest or is it simply a case of enjoying the reactions you get? :ayatollah:

Will we? Why are you making that assumption? If anything, past experiences show that Tan won't get someone "better" in... prime example is the recruitment of the painter and decorator to act as chief of recruitment! :thumbright:

No manager of any standing will look at current goings-on at Cardiff and fancy the job.

Money Talks chuckles and you can't deny the fact he's been willing to splash out thus far.

Re: Manager for 2 years over 100 years of tradition...

Mon Oct 14, 2013 2:01 pm

Money has nothing to do with it. Tan is obviously keen on having "yes" men, rather than people of any decent standing, as proved by his latest recruitment.

No manager worth his salt will look at the Cardiff City situation and fancy being a part of it.

Your extremely naiive if you think there aren't managers out there who will do any job if it pays well, in fact some managers would look at Cardiff and think it's a win-win situation, we have a crackpot chairman who will pay silly wages and then fire you about two months down the line if results don't get better. What happens then? A massive payout, winner. Not saying that that is a positive thing for us because it's not, it's an horrendous situation but it is what it is.

We'd attract a better manager than Malky no problem.

Re: Manager for 2 years over 100 years of tradition...

Mon Oct 14, 2013 2:07 pm

You're extremely naive if you feel that any manager who is well respected would want to get the Cardiff job, where the board are intent on interfering.

Like I said it's a win-win situation for managers. If he does well he's saved the club, If he does poorly they can say the job was made impossible by Tans meddling and then receive a massive payout. QPR were in a similar situation to us last year, managed to attract Harry because of the ££££££££.

We'd attract a good manager no problem, will Tan pick one is another question. But I am certain we could get a far better manager than the likes of Malky Mackay.

QPR were certainly NOT in a similar situation. :lol: At what point were the owners trying to interfere with the footballing staff there? I don't recall QPR sacking Hughes assistant etc.

As I say, no manager of any DECENT standing will want to walk into a job where it is likely that the owner will look to have a say on football matters.

Its not an obsession, its an interest. If i was obsessed with Cardiff then id support you and discuss your club daily. When in fact i think today is the first time in a week ive been here and that is due to the news of the meeting and me checking what the deal is.

I am obsessional about football, swansea in particular, and this forum is a great place to discuss not only my club but our rivals also who are on of the craziest situations either club has ever been in or ever likely to be in.

I am one of the clearest thinkers on the board. Enjoy me :thumbup:

The owners were interfering in football affairs, sorry Chuckles I can't think of an identical case of a Malaysian despot sacking an assistant and replacing him with a Kazakh printer but I will look into finding one. The QPR owners were signing the players on ridiculous wages and the manager had no say in who was coming in. Also stories about the owner insisting on certain players playing.

Are you implying that Malky is better than DECENT?

No I haven't made it up. Search it if you don't believe me but then again Chuckles the oh mighty one is never wrong. Thumb all you want but if you think most managers in the premier league have complete control then you are very much mistaken. Ffs, the Glaziers even tried to muscle in on Fergie.

Any manager worth their salt would not wish to put themselves into a position at Cardiff when you've got loons like Tan trying to interfere.

Wave your stick & pretend to be an old man all you want, but that's how I feel.

TBH, I do enjoy some of your posts (for varying reasons) and I appreciate your reasoning with regard to "being football obsessed" but whether you are interested or obsessed in THIS club is a matter of opinion and I do find it strange that you appear so intent on interfering (or should that maybe "voicing your opinion"?) on a rival club when your own need all the support they can muster :?

I doubt you have the same intensity towards the MB's of other clubs (although I may be wrong, as I don't visit any ;) )and that, to me, smacks more of obsession than interest :roll:

Enjoy your 'sport' on here. I only wanted to know your reasoning. Thanks :ayatollah:
