NFR: Cardiff replace chief scout with 23yo work experience kid

After reading the full article I am even more baffled how they let a guy like Tan buy that club.

He sounds like a right crackpot doesn't he?!

Eccentric. He's too wealthy to be called a nutter or crackpot or anything like that. It just shows how lucky we were to have a chairman whose eccentricities involved erecting a statue to his pop-star friend, rather than putting his son's best mate in a prime position at the club.

I see how well this test for fit and proper owners works out

This whole story really makes no sense, what on earth has McKay done wrong?!

[Nero]

Apsalyamov, whose experience of football appears to be limited to computer games, attended the same Swiss finishing school as Tan's own son. It is understood that his first job at the Premier League club entailed painting walls at the club's stadium. But The Independent understands that he has also been shadowing Moody in the last six months, with the general impression being that Apsalyamov's own father – a multi-millionaire – may be about to invest in a club where the 23-year-old might also play some kind of professional role.

haha the guys played football manager and got Cardiff near the top and must have shown Tan and hes thought hmm we should be doing better McKay must go

I feel like that's actually probably worryingly accurate.....
