Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan refuses to comment on Malky Mackay future - despite derby win
3rd Nov 2013
Controversial owner Vincent Tan said he would not comment when given the opportunity to back manager Malky Mackay at the end of today's win over rivals Swansea City


Controversial Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan was in Cardiff for the first time since the departure of Iain Moody and the resulting furore
Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan said he had "no comment" to make when asked directly whether he fears losing manager Malky Mackay.

Moments after Mackay masterminded a historic South Wales derby defeat of rivals Swansea City, the controversial owner still refused to back his manager, just weeks after sacking his head of recruitment Iain Moody.

When asked about the circumstances behind rookie Kazakh Alisher Apsalyamov replacing Moody, Tan said: "I don't want to explain now. I will explain when the time is right.

"I don't want to add fuel to the fire.

"I will explain when I need to explain and when I am ready to explain."

Speaking about the 1-0 victory over Michael Laudrup's men, Tan added: "Everoyone is very happy.

"It was very peaceful everybody behaved very well inside the stadium.

"I'm very impressed. The atmosphere is great.

"There was a lot of cheering but everybody was well behaved.

"We are very thankful and our guests from Swansea for how well they behaved."

Before today's game, which Tan attended, fans in the Canton Stand unfurled a banner saying "Tan Out" and a protest at the club's colour change to red was held after the celebrations had died down.

Tan is not use to this environment of being a target for criticism. I bet he regret badly what has happened lately because of the bad press he has been given. He must be the only billionaire on this planet that needs to learn.

Tan is simply a Tyrant and hes out of touch and not capable of running a football club in a successful western domesticated way.

He would of done a better job running along side colonal gadaffi

Tan's silence speaks volumes. Watched the match back this morning and Tan's face was like thunder, no more cheesy smiles. He dare not sack Malky after a derby victory but as soon as we lose a match I fear the axe will fall. Just be ready for the backlash Tan if you do such a fool hardy thing. Welshmen don't lie down and accept the inevitable they will fight. Malky is a brilliant young manager any clown can see that. in 49 years supporting Cardiff City I have seen managers come and managers go but Malky is something special, I and the majority of fans wont accept his dismissal, so don't try it Tan. Time to back down!!!

The only reason to sack a manager is that there is a better one out there who can do a better job given the team and circumstances... There is absolutely no one better than Malky out there four club right now!

I think he gets emotionally attached to his business affairs. He was clearly hurt or angry with the banners and I believe tan is the kind of person to pull the plug without any care for cardiff even more so if we react badly.

The sooner it is all out in the open the better for everyone concerned. Speculation is tittilation not reality, or the way forward.

Suprisingly I didn't see anyone in red singing this this time around... perhaps because the usual red wearers around me where in neutral colours :malky:

Alot more chanted this chant this time around but it did get on my nerves in Norwich when these 2 blokes in red started chanting "We'll always be blue" and "blue army".

"We'll always be blue but I wear red" should be their chant :oops: :laughing5:


TAN OUT :ayatollah:
