    I can see some legs in this, particularly as their seems a stand off with MM and Tan. Plus he was at Watford for years, so not too much upheaval.

    Put yourself in Coleman's shoes though. Palace or Wales ?

    Working with a bunch of no hopers going nowhere or working with a bunch of no-hopers going nowhere ?

    Palace will likely pay him more, so he'll go there.


    Wales have been considering sacking him for a while now.

    I hope so, as that will confirm their relegation

    Well we've definitely had key staff members replaced for no reason and we appointed a mate of Ehab's to replace one of them. We've probably gone through more off the pitch staff than anyone else in the last few years.

    Really? You really think they're more important? Staff leave all the time. Those staff you refer to will not be there in a decade anyway. We've had the name for 109 years. Cardiff are in a far, far better position with a far less ****ing mental owner.

    And thanks to St. George, there aren't any dragons either.

    Dont get me started on that.... I think St George's Day is a national disgrace. Why we dont copy the Aussie approach and have an England Day or Trafalgar Day to celebrate something uniquely ours is beyond me.

    I see Assem Allan and Vincent Tan as very similar owners, both invested loads of money and both think they can do whatever they like, even when those changes are unpopular and pointless.

    I think the difference between them is Allam still understands its a community club. Tan thinks its his own (well it is really) but he treats it more like Vincent Tan FC than Cardiff City FC.

    Every single thing you have said about Tan there applies to Allam. How can you think he doesnt consider it Assam Allam FC when he says "supporters dont matter" and "nobody questions my decisions"?

    As for 'understanding its a community club'? Yeah that's why he's looking to move it out of the community to a site 15 miles away....

    No. However deluded he may be, he's not running it on the basis that a bunch of fuzzy wuzzies from thousands of miles away are the clubs real support.

    I really can't see a single difference between the way the two operate, I think you're being very generous to AA, the actions of the pair of them are almost identical.
