VT Still not happy with Malky over the A-Corn deal, slaughtered him again in an interview . I've posted what he's said about Malky below.
Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has called former manager Malky Mackay an "idiot".

Wathan- What are your hopes for the club for the short-term, medium-term and future?
VT- “Of course, for each of us, the goal is to get us back to the Premier League. It was unfortunate that we only stayed in the Premier for one season.
I always say, and I have told chairman Mehmet Dalman the same, the reason we didn’t stay in the Premier League is that we spent a lot of money there – I think it was £50m.
What did we get? We paid £10.5m for Cornelius who didn’t even play 45 minutes and then the manager (Malky Mackay) said he was a project.
I’m in the Premier League, I need to survive and he said it was a project!”
Wathan- If Cardiff go up again are you confident it would be different under Warnock?
VT- “I think we have a very good chance to get promotion. We will try to be humble and we hope for good luck because that is important.
I think we are lucky, we got good luck, we have got Neil – thanks to Mehmet, because we could have got somebody terrible.
But we have got Neil, we are happy and if we get promoted I think we have a good chance of staying if we do things sensibly – provided we don’t spend £10m on a striker!
If you do that he must score 10 or 20 goals – last time we had one not even play 90 minutes and paid the highest salary in the club’s history. £45,0000 a week – I still can’t believe it even today.”
Wathan - Coming back after two years, do you sense it is a different, more harmonious place?
VT- “Yeah, I think so. The fans should be together with us because we’re trying to do the right thing. We haven’t got a manager who will do the wrong thing – Neil is doing the right thing.
If Neil does the wrong thing then the atmosphere is not good, then the owner is upset, the manager is upset.
So if the manager does the right thing, we also do the right thing...we support when it is supportable. We cannot support someone who makes ridiculous decisions, stupid decisions, £10.5m and don’t even play him for 45 minutes, let alone 90 minutes.
If you pay £10.5m for a big striker you should play him 90 minutes, not 45 minutes, five minutes, 10 minutes.
He (Mackay) says finally he is a project. How come I’m in the Premier League and you’re finding time to do a project for the future?
What rubbish is that? And you pay £45,000 a week for a project? Rubbish!”
