lots of talk of Paul Hartley (Dundee manager) going there, currently the fav I believe. Would be quite funny to see Roeder there though.

And Hughton to Fulham would complete the comedy!

Roeder is constantly being linked with jobs in the Championship, because he is always seen at games.But he is a scout for a team in this division (Millwall), so it is his job to watch Championship fixtures. Millwall play Cardiff at home in a month. 

Former manager seen at Cardiff game, Cardiff managers job is at risk, 2 + 2 = 5. The bookies must love Roeder and Hughton, they take lots of easy money from bets on those two every time there is a vacancy.

In fact, if I were the CEO of a bookmaker I'd be sending them free match tickets and then paying them a commission per tweet  :lol:

With their rather eccentric owner, to put it mildly, anything could happen. I would be very surprised if Roeder went there, however. His past record as a manager was not good, and he has been out of managerial for quite a few years now.

Paul Hartley, Dundee manager appears to be favourite for the Cardiff job.

How about Mark Fotheringham as player manager? He has done the job he was brought in to do at Fulham and can move on and help relegate another Prem club to League 1.

After all we've heard about Mackay and his team, I'm surprised that this notion that Tan is eccentric or mad is still so prevalent.

Is it because Mackay is one of us despite his clear behaviour?

Is it because of the way Tan looks?

All the objective evidence suggests that Tan did everything right with Mackay.  He has backed Solskaer in the transfer market.  He has been a model owner.  I accept that there was there was the issue of the shirts but he had his reasons and that is an internal Cardiff matter.

So what is the actual issue with Tan?

I've also seen Pulis mentioned. That could work. 

As for Tan, I'm not a huge fan of owners who get over involved with the running of the team. Also, is it only me that thinks he looks like a Bond villain with those black gloves?  ;)

Wouldn't want Cardiff to appoint Pulis, or Hughton as I think both could work well. Nothing personal against Cardiff, but the less teams that are up there come the end of the season, the better, from my point of view.

Don't think he'd be a very intimidating Bond villain if swivelled round in his chair and he was wearing a bright red Cardiff City shirt over his suit  :D

Also, to misquote Roeder, I must have missed the news of there being a vacancy at Cardiff.

When was Solksjaer sacked?

Hasn't been sacked yet no, but there's supposed to be an announcement this afternoon about his future. It's expected to say that Solsjkaer and the club had "differing philosophies", and that he will leave the club with immediate effect.

Letting owners come in and change club colours and crests is a seriously bad precedent to set, if post-Delia an owner changed us to red and slapped a dragon on our crest there is no way you'd be calling them a model owner.
