Well said, City123. There's much that could be said about these revisionists but Malky was the best manager during my time following Cardiff City followed by Jimmy Scoular.

For a matter of balance, whatever Caulker and Medel cost us we recouped the fees when they were subsequently sold so I doubt they were overpriced. It appears Malky's two major targets when we went up were Wanyama and Vardy. A failure to inctease both bids, by £1m and £0.2m respectively ended our interest in the players. That we didn't get them was a decision made by others at the Club.
