Well the man with the trouser waist under his armpits has apparently sent Malky Mckay an e-mail saying resign or you are being fired.What a complete fuckwit of an owner he really is.

Brendan Rogers was backing Malky up today, saying it's a disgrace how he is being treated. I tend to agree with him.
It must be a little humiliating saying you've got players lined up and you're going to speak to the chairman then get a public statement saying you're getting nothing as you've already overspent by 15 mil. Forgive me if I'm wrong here but surely it was Tan that overspent, he does sign the cheques afterall.
And with all the other stuff, sacking your second etc, and now this, I'd sit tight and wait for the pay-off thank you very much.
The fans must be up in arms as well. Change your colours and then sack the bloke who got them to the promised land, even whe they are near mid-table?
I reckin Tan's already made on his investment, looks like he wants to make more.

Why would he resign then? Just get fired, collect what's owed to you and move onto the next job. Interesting how so many otherwise competent businessmen fail when they become involved in football. Maybe because they are more emotionally end egotistically involved than their normal business

This is a great pity, because Vincent Tan wears his short sleeved football shirt over his long sleeved shirt & tie & is therefore, usually, a man of impeccable taste & quality.

This could have been us....
So glad that our current owners have avoided the selfish, megalomaniac approach that Tan, and to a lesser extent Abramovich, have shown.
I feel proud to be a City fan and feel our owner has respected our heritage.

You do have to feel sorry for their fans having waited so long for the Premier League only to have it jeopardised unnecessarily by a self-centred maniac. On the other hand, I remember them lobbing bananas at Alex Williams in the 80's, so perhaps it is Karma.

Writing was on the wall as to this guys sanity & suitability to own a football club when he changed the club kit colours.
How can a club, nicknamed the Bluebirds, having played in Blue for the majority of their lifespan of 100 plus yrs, change to red?
This nutball at Hull will take them down the same road. Makes you appreciate how lucky we are.
As for Mr Abramovic - if 3 lge titles, 5 Fa Cups , 3 lge Cups, a Champions Lge and a Uefa Cup in 11 years makes him a bad owner, Id love to have that sort of bad ownership at our place for the next decade!

Abramovich isn't a bad owner ... he's a fan that took over a club, and takes far too much interest in the daily goings on. He has to have a hand in everything, and I'm sure it's a horror working as a high level manager below him. That being said, he seems to have cooled off since his earlier days. He's basically what Mike Ashley would be for newcastle, if Mike Ashley wasn't retarded.
Tan, Venky's, and the Hull city asshole are a different breed ... and basically the same as that goofball that claimed to be associated with our takeover bid in the beginning. Our owners couldn't distance themselves from him fast enough, and that was always a good indicator for me.
A little off-topic, but I hardly ever hear assholes talking about "when the owners get bored, you'll be fucked" anymore ... not even the most bitter rag mate that I've got. And now that they've got Moyes at the helm their banter has gone down to about zero. Hilarious to see all their somber faces. Their owners could turn out to be the worst of the lot, who knows. These other jokers are small time scumbags trying to play it big. The glaziers, on the other hand, are major league scum bags / criminals plying a huge con.
Also ... getting an email telling him to resign or be fired sounds like an open and shut case for constructive dismissal, right? I mean ... he can't go on carrying out his contract, the owner will fuck him at every turn and it will ruin any chance he has of landing a top job in the future.

I am not defending the way Tan has gone about this BUT I think he has a right to be pissed off to a certain extent, he sacked Mackays assistant from spending 15 million more than budget over the summer (any business would fire someone for this whether they can afford it or not) - Mackey knew this, but went public about buying more players in Jan before getting approval from the board, setting a level of expectation with the fans and in turn forcing Tan's hand to free up money
No-one is expecting clubs like palace and hull to be throwing money about, so why should cardiff not be expected to live within the means the club generates? He's possibly trying to protect the club from FFP that everyone seems to think is a great idea

Tan and the likes are cancer to the beautiful game we all love.
That is all.
