Uncle Albert Posted 8 October 2013 Posted 8 October 2013 Well he is a dickhead, so would expect nothing less from him. We had Hargreaves who is Canadian and was born and raised Canadian, it's wrong really as he should have played for Canada but England benefitted out of it through his parents.. This Januzaj though isn't English, has no English in him so shouldn't ever play for England, this residency thing is a load of rubbish!

People need to look at the cricket and see what chaos it's starting to cause as well. Players literally now setting up camp in their late teens elsewhere for financial reasons. Can see Qatari league clubs buying a shitload of Brazilians/Argies in 2015/2016 in preparation for their 'team' in the WC.

Like Emerson the 'Qatari' he was playing in Qatar and then given citizenship, then the QFA went only to find out he'd played for Brazil under 21s and was subsequently kicked out from Qatar or something along those lines.
Super_horns Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 Sounds like the owner at Cardiff is messing around again - sacked Mackay's chief scout and brought in a guy who is only 23 and has no experience of the game!
21st Century Fox Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 Sounds like the owner at Cardiff is messing around again - sacked Mackay's chief scout and brought in a guy who is only 23 and has no experience of the game! Apparently he's some mate of Vincent Tan's son. Also Vincent Tan is banned from the players changing room because he's yet to pay bonuses he promised
Kitchandro Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24454963 Cardiff replace head of recruitment with 23-year-old Kazakh Cardiff have suspended their head of recruitment Iain Moody and replaced him with an unknown 23-year-old who was formerly on work experience. Moody helped Cardiff sign summer recruits such as Gary Medel and Steven Caulker in his scouting role. But he has been succeeded by Kazakh Alisher Apsalyamov - who was on work experience at the club in the summer and who is a friend of owner Vincent Tan's son. "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."
Dan Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 Do you agree on King playing for Wales? With the crop of players Belgium have coming through, why would he want to play for anyone else? So he can actually play He'd get into England's side before he'd get into Belgium's.
Dan Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24454963 It takes some serious nobhead Cardiff 'fan' to defend that twat. They're a total laughing stock.
Leicesterpool Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 Mackay should offer his resignation, talk on twitter at the moment he's quit!
Corky Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 Mackay should offer his resignation No way, he's got them to this level and deserves the chance to manage in the Premier League, shouldn't be forced out by the actions of the idiot running the club.
Guest MattP Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 Hope Cardiff get well and truly fcuked. Seeing them sat there in red shirts in League 1 would be glorious.

It would really turn the fans on the board! the owner has already tested there patients with the change of colour.
Corky Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 It would really turn the fans on the board! the owner has already tested there patients with the change of colour. A decent young manager who has taken the club to it's highest level for 50 years would lose his job through no fault of his own though.
davieG Posted 9 October 2013 Author Posted 9 October 2013 Maybe Cardiff fans should be like......... Levski Sofia fans humiliate new coach by removing his shirt Play media Angry Levski Sofia fans force new coach Ivaylo Petev to take off the team's shirt at his first news conference, before escorting him out. The fans were unhappy at Petev's appointment as coach as they believe he is a supporter of arch city rivals CSKA Sofia. Several dozen hostile fans burst in shortly after the start of Petev's first news conference, making him remove his shirt before ushering him out of the room. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24458599
shen Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 What? He's born in Brussels, he should be playing for Belgium. It's daft. I completely side with Finners and his reply to you earlier. Where you're born can be completely arbitrary. Sorry i forgot to reply to that. It's complex but he's born and bred Belgium, to compare him to Shen would be daft as Shen wasn't born in Belgium and went onto live there until he was an adult. That's where you're wrong though. I was born and raised in Belgium, to Danish and German parents. I went to a European school, with Danish and German being my mother tongues. I went in a Danish class and learnt Danish history, geography and literature until the secondary years. After I finished secondary school I moved to Denmark and have lived here since. Never have I felt Belgian, never have I rooted for a Belgian team. Brussels might be the place I grew up, but that's where the affiliation ends really.
StanSP Posted 9 October 2013 Posted 9 October 2013 So he can actually play He'd get into England's side before he'd get into Belgium's. He has to wait til 2018 to play for England...

That's a shocking job of integrating into the community you were born into from your parents, if everyone did that we would have even more problems than we do with trying to get people of different cultures to live side by side in Western countries. If you were a Pakistani and did all that you would be slaughtered by a lot of people. To be born in a country, live their until your late teens and not learn the native language isn't acceptable. (Though I do realise Belgium isn't really a country)
Corky Posted 10 October 2013 Posted 10 October 2013 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/future-of-malky-mackay-under-threat-after-cardiff-city-owner-vincent-tan-sidelines-key-assistant-8868928.html Several sources have told The Independent that Tan asked Mackay to quit, during a tense meeting with senior members of club staff on Tuesday, and that the Scot - who is determined to carry on at the south Wales club - had categorically refused. But Mackay's relationship with Tan, whose unusual perspective on football leads him to believe that Cardiff were promoted to the Premier League because of the “lucky red†strip he introduced, is now deeply damaged Just gets worse at Cardiff. Sack the bloke if you don't want him and pay him up instead of trying to undermine him like this. Disgraceful.
Fox92 Posted 10 October 2013 Posted 10 October 2013 Would anybody on here resign if they were in Mackay's position? I know he has done very well with Cardiff, and deserves the chance to manage in the top flight, but I don't think I could carry on working for the owner/chairman after all this...?

No I'd want the money I'm entitled to after doing a good job.

No, he's managed to get them up after years of failing, the players obviously love him, this is not his fault and shouldn't be made to go of his own accord. No sympathy for Cardiff after what they have agreed to with this man's requests. Clearly a lunatic. Feel sorry for malky though. Yeah, my sympathy is with Malky, not a fan of the club really but Mackay comes across as a decent bloke.
