Cardiff suspend chief scout in favour of 23 year old Summer intern

[Brennan]

"In the summer Alisher Apsalyamov was on work experience painting the walls of Cardiff City Stadium, watching their promotion games on his laptop."Now he's the acting head of recruitment at the age of 23, responsible for the January transfer window that could determine whether Cardiff stay in the Premier League.

"Apsalyamov is, I understand, a close friend of the son of Cardiff's owner Vincent Tan.

"I believe that Moody, initially suspended by Mr Tan, has now been placed on gardening leave until the end of the season on full pay so Mackay cannot use someone with whom he has worked productively for the past seven years, first at Watford, now at Cardiff."

Apparently the players are annoyed at the Cradiff owner for always coming into the dressing room

Trouble in paradise?

I have no sympathy for the Cardiff fans that just let their kit colour and identity of their club change without any real protest.

They never made anywhere near enough noise about it IMO.

they kicked off a lot about it, had Tan not taken them up for the first time since 1928 it would have probably been even worse

When you look at the Cardiff crowd on a matchday this season, a large percentage of the crowd are wearing the red shirt. I thought you would see hardly any red shirts being worn by the fans.

The club is being run by an ego-maniac, you only have to see the way he comes onto the pitch at home games when they won against city.

Feel for the club and its fans

Begs the question how someone seemingly so dopey got to be so rich doesn't it?
