It's not perplexing you, it's killing you. You want us to tear our own club apart. You want us to drive the financial stability out of the club that is your agenda. You hate Cardiff and I've already called you on you faux concern about not wishing an owner like this on us. The media need stories, tan sells papers, that's their agenda. We want a stable club to support. All getting as frothy around the mouth as you about tan really won't help us do that. All these answers are already in the thread, you just don't like them so you've started wumming.
I dont hate cardiff at all hilts and im a big supporter of Both welsh clubs doing well in the premiership and hopefully one day the rest of the welsh teams can also experience the top league, What i am pointing out is that Tan is in danger of ruining cardiff's chances of a long term stay with his over the top way of trying to control everything from playing staff to off field press releases that will anger most fans let alone the manager and his staff. He is making cardiff look a no go club if a manager wants to do things his way like all managers do. Changing the shirt colour is one thing but to interfere in the way the manager does things is way over the line and i think Malky is doing the right thing refusing to walk away and lose a shed full of money in the process. Let tan sack him which he wont as he will know he will have trouble finding a good enough manager who will work under his terms and conditions. Tan needs to forget trying to control everything and let the manager do his job....
Kj please tell me exactly what you would do if the Tan situation were to happen to the swans. It is ok to pontificate on the rights and wrongs about the public spat and stating Tan knows nothing about football. Fair enough but WHAT would you do in this situation? Walk away from the club you claim to love? Have them play in lower leagues if it means getting rid of the owner? Go on enlighten me.
Brendan slams Tan to the mat: http://www.theguardian.com/football...rodgers-blasts-vincent-tan-cardiff-city-owner
Brendan Rodgers has sprung to the defence of Cardiff City's Malky Mackay, accusing the club's owner, Vincent Tan, of "knowing nothing about football". Or it could be seen as trying to put discord into the Cardiff camp before his team plays them. Just remember once a Jack always a Jack. More faces than a pack of cards.
There can only be one winner in all this. Brendan can shout his support from the rooftops, but Malky is a dead man walking. I see no hope of any reconciliation between him and Tan, and to be honest, the sooner it's sorted the better for the club - this constant behind the scenes **** can't be doing us any favours, on or off the pitch. Anything other than a comprehensive defeat for Cardiff on Saturday may delay the inevitable for a short while, a point might stave it off for the dust to settle into the New Year. A very unlikely win might even reprieve him for the season, but I doubt it. He certainly wont start next season at Cardiff unless Tan completely backs down and admits his own poor understanding of the game - very unlikely!!
It's ironic that he has a go at someone for involving themselves in something they shouldn't, and by doing so, does it himself. Strange he felt the need to play mind games against us, every little helps I guess.
Simply ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. So you think that Tan knows a lot about football and that it's a Jack plot to play mind games ahead of your match with Liverpool. Please. On current form they don't need to do that do they? I suspect Rodgers was asked a question and gave an honest answer. But you'd rather believe something else. Anything to defend your lovely owner and have a dig at the Jacks at the same time. For god's sake.

I actually think it might do some good to have this kind of publicity, it might be the strongest message that can be sent to Tan, possibly the only thing to make him take any notice and get some understanding, that it isn't just a few fans moaning, but the footballing world that he is dealing with now.
I've sat back and kept my powder dry on this thread. Suffice to say both Malky and Tan are both as bad as one another and their public spats just brings unwanted embarrassment to the club. If Tan goes we are up **** creek if Malky goes who the **** would want to take his place? Personally I think they both need to grow up,stop thinking about their own personal agendas and start acting a bit more professionally by sitting down face to face and clearing the air. There is one person who is yet again at the centre of all this and he seems to become invisible to criticism, Simon Lim. What I ask, is his agenda?
You maybe right but the guy's used to being seen as the great benefactor in his own country and news travels fast .I don't suppose he's used to negative press What ever the outcome who's going to be considered the winner ? .
He was asked because they used to work together and Brendan is too #classy for mind games, he lets his attacking football do the talking not like some cowardly retired Scot who always needed to say something about their opponents or the referee or the fixture calendar or...
I think at this moment in time Malky is in a win win situation, everyone views him as a real prospect. But there are some question marks, if it wasn't for this latest foot in mouth episode by Tan we might be looking a bit more closely at exactly what he is doing lately. £8 million striker that doesn't see the light of day, a defender (Brayford) who can't even make the bench, another striker that hasn't seen the light of day is Etien Velikonja and I could go on. This adds up to quite a bit of money between the 3 of them, 2 can't make the bench and 1 is (MM's words) for the future. Tan is so far out of touch with things on the ground that I doubt he quite realises exactly how things are, he has just done what he would normally do in this kind of business situation, and that is put an employee back in his place, I doubt he had foreseen the uproar it would cause. There seems to be some train of thought that we prefer Tan over MM, not true, it's just simple economics, if MM were to leave we would get another manager, if Tan were to walk we face the unknown but not good future, it's a no brainer in them circumstances.
