' Cardiff have made a pig's ear of this season '

Sunday April 27th 2014

Former England striker Gary Lineker has criticised Cardiff City's season, claiming that the Welsh club have made a “pig's ear” of things.

Cardiff dropped to the bottom of the Premier League following a 4-0 defeat at Sunderland in Sunday's early kick-off, which saw the Black Cats move out of the relegation zone with a game in hand on the rest of the sides around them.

When Malky Mackay was sacked by Cardiff, the Bluebirds were 16th in the Premier League – a point above the relegation zone with 17 points from 18 games – and now, under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, they now sit bottom with 30 points from 36 games.

That means that, in the same amount of games without Mackay than with him, Cardiff have managed to recoup just 13 points, compared to 17 with the Scot, and former England striker Lineker believes that the club have made a “pig's ear” of the season.
He wrote on his Twitter account: “What a pig's ear they've made of things at Cardiff this season!”

When it comes to ear's, Gary should know.

He's right. Sacking Malky and replacing him with an inexperienced manager was stupid.

The guy's right though. Its been pretty shambolic from start to finish. Its started bad, & has got progressively worse, & if things are not sorted we will take this shambles into the Championship.

I thought the Venky's were bad, FFS!

He's right. Sacking Malky and replacing him with an inexperienced manager was stupid.

malky was inexperienced as well so your logic makes f*cking sense

Malky had more experience of managing in the English game then Ole.

so? he had a few more years managing in the championship? both are inexperienced when it come to premiership level

He's right. Sacking Malky and replacing him with an inexperienced manager was stupid.

But he knew his squad.And he came up through the championship.Ole came from a league one standard team.Tan has now been shown as the failure he realy is.Without the help of bent government officials and Judges he is a failure.The only way he can claw back some shred of respect is to say'I WAS WRONG TO START A CIVIL WAR and am man enough to admit it and turn the club back to BLUE.Even i would respect him for that.

I totally agree with this. Tan could claw himself out of this mess by accepting he was totally wrong, & returning us back to Blue, with a proper City badge.

Like i said earlier, Pigs might fly one day.

dosent matter if he knew the squad the squad he built barely has any talent in it there's only about 5 players in the squad you could consider premier league talented how can we stay in the league when we don't have and premier league standard players in each position

Well said! Rather than demanding an apology from Bluebirds fans, he should be embracing the fire and passion.

If we returned to Blue, though I would then go buy a red shirt as a collector's item. I'd never wear it though.

Imagine if Tan gave us the money and united the fans by returning to our proper colours. We could be big then.

I like pig's ears!

I haven't read the previous post but Cardiff have made a total balls up of it all from start to finish in every possible way.

Think pig's ears should fly onto the turf @ the Chelsea game !

He must have some affection for us as he is married to a Cardiff lass.

Wrong manager at start of season.

Not said with benefit of hindsight. Patently obvious when the squad had the likes of Gunnarrsson, Cowie, Taylor, Turner, McNaughton etc and an untried expensive Danish striker in it.

Wrong manager to replace him.

Wrong additions to squad in January. Wrong tactics time and again. Wrong team selections time and again.
