If you wanted a mad Vincent Tan story that you haven’t heard before, Danny Gabbidon has it.

The former Crystal Palace and Cardiff defender rejoined the Welsh club in 2014 to take on a coaching position in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s background staff, while also being available for first team selection.

Annis, he is old and confused. He gets mixed up with American football where scoring from the half way line is normal :ayatollah:

This board is anti Tan and pro Sam .
But the funny thing they are both as loony as each other.
"We're bigger than Barcelona "
"Shoot from the half way line"
I think when you own something you can say and do whatever you want with it.

When the truth comes out and it does not suit the Tan fan agenda, they don't like to admit about him interfering with the management

As the saying goes "The truth hurts"

But were the management and players stupid enough to take note of his requests? or did they treat it like the advice of a mad old granddad, smile and nod, then have a chuckle about it when he's left the room.

Did Sam really want the players to eat sheep testicles?

I agree with Mr Tan, if Mark Hutton can do it....why not??
It might light up our season, lol

Gabbidon admitting this further confirms Tan is a nutcase with no clue about football.

With Tan being part of our ridiculous transfer committee and having the final say, Slade has no hope.

Must be a slow news day, hasn't this been brought up at various times since Tan took over. Unfortunately quite a few chairmen come up with stupid comments and stupid interference in team affairs but it's their club and money so I suppose that gives them the authority to employ who they want and do what they want. It's like any entertainment business if you don't like it don't go.

yaaawwwnn..... How many times can an old story be recycled and still presented as news? We get it, this is having a continuous dig at Tan for something which happened (if it did) years ago. It is not possible to get angry and outraged over the same story more than once - is it? Boring.

Funny the few as usual pro Tan followers moaning about me putting it on the forum, yet it appears all over other sites and in todays South wales Echo.

As I've said before if your not happy with this forum, please just stay off it,simple :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

I put every story out,good/bad and just plain football news :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:


The day Vincent Tan called a meeting with Cardiff City's defenders and demanded they shoot from the halfway line


TUESDAY 26 JAN 2016


BY ALEX BYWATER

Former Bluebird Danny Gabbidon has revealed Tan told his defenders to gamble from long range in an attempt to recreate Mark Hudson's wonder goal


Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan

Former Cardiff City defender Danny Gabbidon has revealed Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan once insisted the club's defenders shoot from the halfway line.

Gabbidon, who was a club legend in his spell in the Welsh capital between 2000 and 2005 before returning for a short stint last season that also saw him take temporary charge of the team, has opened up on his final few months with the club.

Vincent Tan and Danny Gabbidon
RELATED: Cardiff City breaking transfer news live

And he has now revealed Tan urged his men to shoot from long range in a bid to emulate Mark Hudson's spectacular effort against Derby in 2012.

Video: Gabbidon on Tan's remarkable instructions

“We hadn’t been scoring too many goals at the time so I think Vincent Tan must have been doing a bit of analysis,” Gabbidon told Sky Sports programme Fantasy Football Club.

“He called all the defenders in for a meeting before training one day and showed a clip of one of the ex-Cardiff defenders scoring a goal from the halfway line.

“So he was kind of demanding our defenders try it on Saturday in the game to see if they could score.”



Hudson's remarkable strike for Cardiff back in 2012 – where he scored from well inside his own half – went down in Bluebirds folklore as the popular captain went on to lead the club to promotion to the Premier League the following season.

And with Cardiff not scoring many goals at the club, Gabbidon has told of how Tan wanted some of his players to try to repeat the centre-back's sensational effort.



Gabbidon added: “We were going through a bit of a barren spell with scoring goals and the defenders hadn’t really scored too many, so I think he must have seen this goal somewhere and thought it was possible again.

“He demanded from the manager that all the defenders got in and had a meeting.

“He showed everyone that goal and was telling them to do it on Saturday.”
