    Tan has finally swung the axe. Our 3-0 win has given him the perfect excuse. Still think it's massively unfair but that's life.
    Damn misspelt Mackay. Can a mod change it please.

    He's far too normal for the inevitable car crash that is Cardiff. Go on, Tan, hire someone hilarious so at least it'll be entertaining to watch. Di Canio would be my choice.

    I don't condone the sacking, but maybe Tan wants to see better football from his team. They play dreadful football, and the results haven't been good at all. They are getting dragged into the relegation battle. Saying that, he is an honourable man, a good man, and will do a good job for someone.

    It is Tan's money in the club remember.

    Will do a good job wherever he goes. Cardiff fans must feel very aggrieved!

    Inevitable. Being 3-0 down to us in the first half hour meant that Tan had an excuse.

    You can get 100-1 on Tan installing himself as manager, Worth a punt?!

    And that's all that matters, because without mostly corrupt foreign owners, football of any description would not exist in this country.

    See that Tan also has bought a club in Bosnia. *cough, money laundering, cough, arms dealer, cough cough*

    I wonder if they had lost another 5 in a row whether their fans would have been backing him as much? Hmmm.

    If Cardiff fans feel aggrieved enough, the only way to make an impact is not to go to games and if any did, don't buy anything from the club. But they won't. It's the premiership, always some daft soft suckers who don't give two ****s about the club history or their fellow fans, as long as they can get seats to watch Man Utd etc.

    Is it true Tan was asking questions of Marshall- "if he's so good why hasn't he scored yet?"

    In times of crisis like this, there's only one man you can call on. One man alone to pull this ship through stormy waters.

    One man who can arrange himself a three year contract in the full knowledge he'll be sacked after 6 months and add to his massive payoff stockpile of cash from all his other many many failures.

    If you go onto the Cardiff board a lot of them have been calling for Mackay to be sacked for a while, they don't like the way Cardiff play and think he was always going to get promoted because of the amount of money given to him.

    Yes there does seem to be a more general upset at the principles of Tan's chairmanship, rather than a genuine love of Mackay.
