Brendan Rodgers comments (slams?) on Cardiff owners

Icy Gull · Dec 19, 2013

Good on him!

"My only conclusion when I look from the outside is you've got a business guy operating the club who obviously knows nothing about football

Indeed! It's farcical what's going on at that club at the moment, they really aren't doing too bad all things considered it's like the chairman is deliberately trying to force Mackay into quitting, probably wants to employ another random 25 year old foreigner as boss, very strange goings on.

Rogers is right, but can't help feeling these comments are another nail in Mackay's coffin at Cardiff. Tan isn't someone who will take being embarrassed easily.

looks like he might be doing his old chum a favour,the sack must be a good option for milky,i assume he would get a pay-off and reputation still intact :blush:

Mackay is a dead man walking - why Rogers thought it was sensible to make any comment on this is beyond me. He seriously overrates his influence if he thought saying this this might shame Tan into backing off the manager.

My reading was the opposite - that he's done this to hasten Tan sacking Mackay. Mackay doesn't want to resign (he'd presumably lose a substantial payoff and it wouldn't look great on the CV, no matter how much of an arse his chairman was) and Tan doesn't want to sack him - however make Tan look like an idiot (not that he seemingly needs much help) and I assume that Tan will eventually get annoyed enough to fire him.

Spot on

Deviating a bit but keeping under same thread. Brendan Rogers doing a great job. Suprised the media havent had a w nk fest considering he has them playing with real identity now. They are probably further on than he would of expected but if they stick with him I can see them becoming the new media darlings ahead of Arsenal and their " wonderful brand of football"

Doubt its long until Rogers touted as next England boss although that will probably gather pace once England mess up in Brazil

Stat Brother · Dec 19, 2013

I guess it's just me that sees the irony of a Liverpool manager bemoaning a foreign owner who is all about business, with no knowledge of football.

Being reported that Tan has said "resign or be sacked" :

Tan clearly knows as much about UK employment law as he does about football.
If they werent so obnoxious I might almost feel sorry for cardiff fans.

HawkTheSeagull · Dec 19, 2013

I think Cardiff may have just snatched the title of "Current Joke Club" back.

Absolutely disgraceful treatment of Malky Mackay - especially for all hes done at the club too.

And they are doing a great job in helping Palace stay up. I can't see Cardiff being a harmonious place for quite a while

I thought that accolade was already given out for the whole season

Unfortunately, this may be the start of the downfall for Cardiff. Palace must be praying for more teams imploding - just hopefully it will be them soon !!

Theres 3. 1 is a rolling award which changes when things happen. 1 is an end-of-year award and 1 is a lifetime award......which Palace keep.

I agree, one mate helping out another. It's not like Mackay will struggle to get a job over the next month or so once he's inevitably sacked, with full compensation.

Cardiff were on the verge of financial collapse before they went up, so despite the Premiership riches they would be in danger of doing a Pompey were they to go down.

Was he hoping to influence Tan or was it a case of [RoyWalker]Say what you see[/RoyWalker]? I'm thinking it was the latter. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight?

Edit: Title amended. I know it is a bit anal, but can we call him by his name (not aimed just at you)? Rodgers and not Rogers.
