Thu Jan 02, 2014 8:36 pm

Deserves some recognition today for the appology he gave to us all for the past mess we were subjected to
How come no one has picked up on this on here
Or does only the negatives get an airing

He deserves all the credit


Solskjaer showed his faith in the set-up by accepting a rolling one-year contract. There were raised eyebrows that the deal was not any definitive length, although it is believed the contract includes huge severance payments which rise the longer he stays.
Solskjaer met Tan before Cardiff’s 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on New Year’s Day and sat next to him throughout the match.
And while he described having “a great meeting with the owner, who wants the club to succeed”, it was Dalman, the British-Turkish Cypriot investment banker, who gave him the personal guarantees he wanted after first making contact in the wake of Mackay’s firing.
After revealing that “clear parameters have been set so what did happen before doesn’t happen again between the owner and the manager”, Dalman expanded on what had changed since he took over as chairman last summer, by which time the seeds of the destructive relationship between Mackay and Tan were already being sewn.
“We changed the structure. Until I arrived the board had never met. That was No 1,” Dalman said.
“The manager will say what he wants: A, B and C. I will go to the board and say, ‘Do we have that money?’ It gets authorised. It gets signed off. Everybody is on the same page.
"Before that did not exist. We have transparency between the football and business sides. The owner was obviously upset with the £35 million [of transfer fees spent by Mackay in the summer] becoming £50 million [with add-ons] and without going into why that happened, it won’t again.”
Sir Alex Ferguson no doubt recommended Solskjaer, who became his reserve team coach at Old Trafford, to ensure this was true.

Do you remember the photo of Fergie talking to Tan at the United game?..I wonder if Fergie was telling him to go for OGS.. ;)

I think Fergie did - he may have recognised that football is a harsh and unforgiving reality.

Also I saw the chairman apologise on tv - he looks press savvy which is helpful.

It's pretty frightening that the board had never met before Dalman arrived 6 months ago. You would think a guy with Tan's so-called success in business would have the intelligence on how to set up the operational structure of a company, whether it be football or not.
