Vincent Tan's £10m legal battle with Malky, Moody & three agents. A view from the Asian media

[TH63]

When Malky first arrived he was like a breath of fresh air and did wonders. Once it became clear that the premier league was a reality, something quite obviously seemed to change. In hindsight I think that part of that something was that MM suddenly saw himself as one of the big boys and may have been enticed by big boy perks.
For all the good MM did while with us you have to wonder what the hell the Cornelius deal was all about, which is where I believe it started the very fast downward spiral. I understand that there was possibly some issue between MM and VT prior to this however at that point something serious developed between the 2.
In summary MM was a very good manager but as it stands there is a big question mark hanging over his running of the club towards the end.

I think you're right about Cornelius.

It's like me asking you to give me five grand so I can get to work, spending it all on a bike, then coming back and asking for another ten grand so can buy a car as well because I don't want to get wet.

And yet it's the Caulker and Odemwingie transfers which are the subject of the court action, not the Cornelius one which, on the face of it, looks the one most likely to be "dodgy" - strange.
