He is not a stupid man by any means. He will have noted the atmosphere at the ground today, the support Malky has from his team and supporters alike and the way we competed to a global audience against one of the best clubs in the world. There is no way he would sack our boss. If he did we would go into freefall and we would be relegated and lose everything we have strived for. This means a loss of income revenues. He's a businessman. I repeat. He is not stupid. :ayatollah:

I'm not sure where all this sacking Malky comes from.

I think Annis may have mentioned it.

With that despot in charge anything is possible.

In the 80s I used to work for a fairly well known retail chain - value for money clothes etc- in my position I was frequently in contact with, and meeting, members of the Board including the chairman.

Now the Company was run by the Irish - no problem for me as a Welshman, but the English had to put up with a bit of abuse which frankly is the least they ever deserve. My serious point, though, is that the culture was extremely political and was designed to be adversarial - and I mean the office politics not the IRA/not wearing a poppy variety.

In this culture we used to gossip like hell in the shops about the latest goings on - in those days everything was by landline 'phone - and a day didn't go by when at least one member of either the Board of Directors, or the Senior Management team, weren't rumoured to be for the chop. I can remember one time when the second-most senior Direcotr was about to be chopped, or so we thought.

Last I looked, this bloke is still there - 25 years later - and still number 2 to the head honcho. The chain is moving on to even more success.

Long story short, don't believe everything the jungle drum tells you.

IMO I dont think its crazy to think Tan wouldnt mind a change in manager but I think results will dictate MM future. If he performs I think he will be ok and so far he is doing a good job.

Good day for VT yesterday, a 2-2 draw against Asia's most popular club with millions and millions watching with an Asian scoring the dramatic late equaliser for Cardiff!

Business will pick up a little more from this :ayatollah:
