Last season Southampton fans were saying same as us. Can't hear them moaning anymore.

One things for sure - for all the good and bad - not many in the world had heard of Cardiff City before the Malaysians took over.
Southampton's ex-manager Nigel Adkins had back to back promotions and probably would have kept them up in the PL and still they got rid. Malky's transfer dealings have by and large been suspect. Cornelius - 8 mil, Brayford 2 mil, Velikonja 1 mil.
Cornellius is not ready, Velikonja wasn't ready for the championship as well. Brayford who knows. Taking Velikonja out of the equation that's 10 million wasted. Looking at it from that point of view maybe that is why Mr Tan is wee bit upset.

he is probably miffed about add ons also.. i bet tan knows shit all about the football transfer market, and thought the transfer fees were final..

Southampton did not quite go about it in the same manner to be fair.
Tan is a mad man. I got no issue with an owner not being happy about over spend or team performance but there is a certain way to handle things and statements / interviews at each other between Tan and Malky rather than sitting down face to face is not the way to handle the situation.

Agree with Mario. Southampton are more the exception rather than the rule though. How many teams have acted in a similar manner and then entered football obscurity for the next generation?

Tan is a clueless idiot and needs to sell up that's all!And if he does sack MALKY I'll be sure to voice my views on this dictator at the Southampton match.
