Cornelius was clearly an error of judgement and one that VT went very public on but what manager doesn't buy a dud now and again.

Here's some of Malkys other targets during his time here:

Jamie Vardy
Virgil van dijk
Jay Rodriguez
Victor wanyama
Kurt Zouma

He also signed Troy Deeney for peanuts for Watford.

That's well over £100 million worth of talent there. Maybe Tan should have backed him more?

You may have heard rumours as have I but if there was anything more substantial to these I'm sure Malkay would have been dragged through the courts before now. As it stands he's guilty of receiving a few texts from a friend and I suspect nothing else will be found too but let's see.
Those names are great but only really feasible as Tan was willing to back financially. Malky brought some decent players here but he didn't get any on the 'cheap'.

I was a massive fan of Malky but the fact Tan is spending the money trying to 'smear' Malky makes me think that there may be something behind it. No smoke without fire? Who knows. Footballing-wise he only made one mistake. I don't think he deserved to get sacked when he did. I don't even care about his 'banter' as some people's lines in the sand are totally different.

To be potentially corrupt though, that would lose all respect for me - There was absolutely no need.
