Just because 1 deal didn't work out it doesn't mean he was taking bungs.
And Cornelius wasn't a nobody. He is playing in the champions league now even after a terrible injury, what are we doing?
He was bought for 7m. The amount of hysteria on cardiff forums over the deal was ridiculous
Good grief.
So because Cornelius seems to be playing ok now means he was a great deal at the time?
Cornelius was a nobody really AT THE TIME WE BOUGHT HIM.
Cornelius was handed the number 9 shirt - yes, numbers aren't as relevant as in the past but that was a clear indicator he was bought for the first team.
Mackay bigged him up; only to then claim he was a "project". He knew he'd bought a pup. If it had been a £1m signing then sure, keep him as a project. Billing him as the main man? C'mon, it was a bad buy.
Even now, every game this season for Atalanta he's either been brought off the bench or has been substituted during the game. He's failed to play the full 90 minutes in a single game for them this season.
He's not some prodigy we missed out on. He's somebody bought for a large fee ( not his fault ), who was lauded by the manager ( not his fault ) and turned out to not be good enough ( again, not his fault due to the fee and being bigged up ). He's someone we couldn't afford to carry on a reported 45k a week hoping he'd come good.
Loads of us boycotted the club and many still won't return
Loads on here voiced their opinion only to be shouted down by the bully boys and also faced abuse at meetings of supporters and organised matches to the ground ......from our own fans ....many of whom pissed off once they couldn't watch premiership football
You gotta question the sanity of someone who wanted the Cardiff manager removed having taken us to a carling cup final in season 1, promoted as champions in season 2 and not in the relegation zone for 4 months in season 3.
And they say Cardiff fans aren't spoilt
Don't know what's more baffling, that or having a pop at him for not coming out that he sides with the Cardiff fans over the change of colour when it's completely obvious to anyone that every single football person at the club would side with the fans on that issue behind closed doors as they're all footballing people. Asking someone to come out against their employer and say something is just a complete lack of understanding on the issue.
I think it was a very important question to ask as the fan base was split down the middle
Mark Hudson is not the manager nor was he ever directly questioned about the change , I can assure you that from the conversations I had with him he was far from happy and understood those fans who were boycotting the club
Malky just brushed the question aside
He did well to get us to the Carling cup final and I was fully behind him when we were in blue but he showed his true colours , if you will pardon the pun , over the shirt change
Deserves everything he's getting (apart from the job roles ofc)
Absolute rubbish
Transfer fees have inflated in the last 4 years yet Burnley have spent nowhere near the 40m Tan gave Malky to spend. Probably the equivalent of 70/80m now.
Hull bought Premiership experience for a fraction of what we spent that summer and stayed up comfortably. Palace too.
The guy is an absolute fraudster. Found wanting at every club he’s been at bar City where he had an open chequebook.
There's some bull in this thread and people with convenient and selective memories.
The guy that signed off on the money was employed specifically to do the checks and balances & due diligence and his experience working in hotels was great really pertinent. No written out of history ...
Malky is the best we have ever had. Loyal to his players and too good for our owner. If malky dud anything wrong he apologised. He has never been officially charged with anything to date. and finally the comments Malky made anout VT pale into insignificance compared to the bile and disgusting chanting aimed at VT that went on in the stands every week during the rebrand debacle period
Loyal to his players? Bombed Conway out to Blackburn, yet had to use him end of season. Bombed Gestede out to Blackburn too, loan with perm deal set.
If your defence of his racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-semitic comments was that our fans are similar... eh...
