' Vinny Tan gives Ole the thumbs up on signings '

Vincent Tan has given the thumbs-up to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s recent spending spree after backing his rebuilding of the Bluebirds’ squad.

And the club’s controversial owner has reiterated his belief the Norwegian has what it takes to bring top-flight football back to Cardiff City Stadium.

Solskjaer has made significant inroads into his summer recruitment after a week where Guido Burgstaller, Federico Macheda and Adam le Fondre made it a transfer treble to go with Spanish pre-contract capture Javi Guerra.

The 41-year-old isn’t finished and will now set his sights on other areas of the squad while also preparing to ship-out several players not part of his plans for an attack on the Championship.

And Tan reckons Solskjaer is the right man to continue City’s reshaping as they bid to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt, telling reporters in his native Malaysia he will take the Bluebirds out to the far east should they make a instant return.

“The club is currently going through a rebuilding process – and we have Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is a good manager, to steer us back to the top,” said Tan, before adding he would take Solskjaer’s side to Malaysia “once our mission to get promoted to the Premier League is achieved”.

“Of course, I want to bring the club and the players here but the important thing for us is to play in the Premier League,” he continued.

Tan oversaw Solskjaer’s appointment in January but admitted he “wasn’t sure what was on his mind” when he failed to stop the Bluebirds’ slide back to the second tier, before then claiming lengthy talks ended with him lending the former Molde manager his support.

He said at the time: “I told Ole ‘I want you to continue, but you have to bring us back to the Premier League next season. I will help you. I will support you. We will work together and bring Cardiff City back.’”

Solskjaer has remained coy on the kind of budget he has available and again hinted he could be resigned to losing key men Steven Caulker and Gary Medel should suitors Liverpool and Valencia formalise their interest with big-money bids.

But he is keen to hold on to others like David Marshall, Jordon Mutch and – despite interest from Leicester City and West Brom – Frazier Campbell.

Good news! sticky?

It would be great if we can go through the season with a stable management setup. Though, in fairness, I can't see how anyone can criticise OGS signings so far.

Oops.

Let's face it Tan knows shit about football or what it takes to be a good manager. But Ole will have my support and let's see what he can do or if he learns from his mistakes so far. But playing only one defender and 9 up front should be fun to watch

Not quite, I had copied and ready to paste the article but checked nobody else had already put it up on the board and noticed this thread, stickied it then looked at the replies.

But let's not allow the truth to ruin your theory.

Maybe if you'd done the decent thing and posted the link rather than the usual copy and pasting plagiarism then you'd have got there first.

Assuming you're not fibbing of course

pmsl. This is up there with annis' don't blame me blame him comment earlier.

Shame a good article ruined by people debating if it should be sticky or not. Get over it.

Good article though, I do feel Ole will have to start well but he certainly seems to have his baking which in fairness to Tan he has always given his managers rightly or wrongly.

So I think that quashes the issue that he's going anywhere any time soon.

Yes after reading crappy reasons for months about the terrible untalented signings Ole did in January, im sorry we ruined the article for you! But it didnt fit the bill did it? ...

Just bumping the positive news

As much as we a hate tan you can't deny that he wants the club to succeed, still I will never support him till he turns us back blue, I don't think he realise is if he kept us blue he could have been a cardiff legend but he fucked that up

Could see that happening
