Surely I'm still in the frame, he said after losing at home to west ham.

[DE.]

Why would he have to be in the frame? He's never managed before (to my knowledge) and Spurs are one of the biggest clubs in the country. Not a post you'd expect an inexperienced person to be offered or considered for.

Bizarre remarks and makes Sherwood look hopelessly out of touch with reality - unless Levy has specifically informed him he's in the running.

Vincent is at it again!

Sent Malky Mackay an email saying resign or be sacked

I wonder if he will take the payout option or no payout option

[Guest Norbert]

That pillock probably wants Eriksson or someone like that in. Some equally sleazy, shifty character willing to adapt to any situation no matter how bizarre. Vincent is turning out to be another Venky's or Thakisin Sinawatra.

[Audax]

Last year that Manager's organization started protesting the sackings. This one is going to far, I do understand the other sackings.

[Majiball]

Tan v Malkay reaches it's final round. I realise Tan gets bad press but he's done far more to benefit cardiff than Malkay. yes he chnaged the shirt colour, but he also paid off 80m in debts this summer. Malkay is playing a game he cannot win and too many leaks have occurred. but to challenge as he is in asian culture is not on and if people want to demand he adjusts then so should they given what he has done for the club to date.

Ways of going about it though Maji. Don't go airing your dirty laundry. That statement last week was silly.

Mind you, its all beginning to come clear with this £50m transfer budget rather than the generous £35m allocated. No wonder Moody was disposed of as it seems he was responsible! I don't what on earth they were thinking with that one. I think more has been going on behind the scenes than meets the eye you know. Moody being replaced and ever since then Mackay basically walking a tightrope - I wonder whether they went behind his back and hoped to cover their tracks with the extra £15m. If that is the case and Mackay then came out and said 'I'll discuss the transfer budget for Jan', then no doubt that would rile him!

Be interesting to see which manager gets that job! They must have someone lined up.

but it's clearly malkay who is doing the laundry. there is never any mention of malkays mistakes it's always Tan, I highly doubt Tan cc'd the press in. given the reaction I'm willing to wager that the jan spending story was the first Tan heard about it all. At the end of the day you need a good working relationship with the cheque signer, malkay is banking on the fans to keep his job and Tan has shown he will go against them if he feels warranted. malkay cannot win this game and he's a monkey for trying to do so.

[Amo]

Solskjaer to discuss the WBA job. Another one of last season's targets to manage in the PL?

Maj I have 3 major problems with your statement

1. Dr. Allam came in bought Hull City paid off all their debts then goes about changing the name of the club & will likely want to make other changes & even wished his own fans dead should Hull City fans be grateful this man has come in & paid off all their debts? & Cardiff have done ten times more changed the badge on the kit changed the colour of the kit sacked a member of Malky's management team and totally undermined him and your suggesting the cardiff fans should be grateful this guy has paid off all their debts?.

2. How would you feel if Venkys changed the name of our stadium, got rid of the badge sponsored the shirt and upset the balance of what is now a stable situation would you say after all the mistakes they made & carried on making catastrophic mistakes and upset the current stability and feel good factor at the club would you say well we should be grateful they paid of all our debts? The point I am making is this just because an owner comes in pays off all their debts & puts in money for signings does that make him a good owner? No. I also object to the fact you bring culture into this because it has nothing to do with this at the end of the day foreign owners take over football clubs all the time just because they pay off all the debts which they agree to as part of any sale & put money in for transfers does it give them the right to undermine a manager by sacking his head of recruitment without his say so? change the club badge and kit? I don't think so.

3. Is it also right given the manager has not been sacked or resigned is it right the owner interviews 4 managers while the current manager is still there in an attempt to force the manager out?.

It is also not right the FA just stand idley by and watch the horror unfold but it is hardly surprising given the only clubs the FA look after are the top 4 in the prem Lge every other club just doesn't matter.

Every one of them overpaid just like the players !

Still BS will guarantee WHU stay in the Prem until they move to their new stadium.

However, maybe they should be able to claw some of that back if he relegates them, that would be fair at those prices !

Yes me! how tf does a Championship manager figure in that list? Harry Redknapp spent a King's ransom and took QPR down ffs!

[Guest Norbert]

See what you did there Gordon..................and I liked it.

[Tom]

Saurez is just unstoppable at the moment

Someone needs to kick him hard in the last game of the season

[Stuart]

Stelling talking us through the wonderful Cardiff fans are chanting Tan Out. A guy who got them into the PL and will probably keep them there. Isn't that horrific, disgusting and racist?

They really had it in for us Rovers fans, didn't they.

Dave Jones

are apparently the front runners for Cardiff, Mackay must have really @#/? Tan off if that lot are considered a better alternative.

[Guest Norbert]

Sven Goran Eriksson has raced up from nowhere too. Wish I put a bet on him, as these owners from footballing backwaters still rate him for some reason.

Think we can safely say based on the sympathy for the Cardiff fans that SkyEM sports favourite pundit supplier and fictional script writer is not involved with Tan in anyway.

It is also very galling that a bunch of no-marks like Nicholas, Merson etc. could help swing public support away from our very deserving case, they are pure scum.

[DE.]

Indeed, the only reason we were picked on was because the fans were having a go at their SEM buddies Kean and Anderson. I noticed they took loads of shots at Venky's at the time, but were always quick to praise Kean and never mentioned Jerome. If the protests were solely aimed at Venky's they probably would have taken a completely different stance on it.

Someone really needs to do a gif of Chris Foy's reaction to Adebeyor's winner against Southampton. Funny.

C'mon Am'o, gif me up!

@SkySportsPeteO: Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan lifts threat of sack on Malky Mackay: As things stand he is in charge for foreseeable future. #CCFC

Could you make his head swell when he starts dancing and explode at the end?
