Malaysian connections mentioned in the article.

Someone else in Malaysia fancies a crack perhaps? Are there richer people in Malaysia than VT?

Is that his real name?
Just add Gareth or Bale and it would sound more like the Real Madrid team sheet.

What exactly is "bridging" the club and Malaysia and what exactly is his new role (apart from non-executive director)? Surely after all these years we have had a connection with Malaysia what exactly is he going to do...Genuine question?

Cardiff City have appointed Datuk Marco Ronaldo Mario Caramella as a Non-Executive Director.

The 49-year-old was born and raised in the Welsh capital but has spent long periods of his life as an entrepreneur in Malaysia.

He will be tasked with bridging the Bluebirds and his country of residence, and his efforts will no doubt help to increase Cardiff's profile in Asia.

Cardiff City Executive Director & CEO, Ken Choo, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Marco to Cardiff City, as he becomes a valuable member of our board of directors.

“Marco has been successful around the world with a number of businesses, gaining ample experience and skill throughout his career.

“Having been born and raised in Cardiff, we’re very glad to have him on board here at his hometown club.”


He was officially named by Companies House as a director of Cardiff City Football Club in November 2017.

Non Executive directors can and often do get paid...their roles are normally more advisory and don't have much say in the day to day running of a business

You would suspect he's not here for fun that's for sure! More interested in what club may be planning? :old:

My immediate thought was the possibility of him, being from Cardiff, wanting to buy a stake (100% / 50%) in his hometown club - with a sale price dependant on whether we are in the Premiership or the Championship next season.

How surprising a snide comment from you :roll:

So who in the club knows him well, you must be privy to that information to make such a comment?

You're seriously having a laugh here! :lol:

Let me quote you: "Jobs for the boys again"

Are you 'privvy' to the information, then? That's certainly how it looks! :?

Nothing 'snide' about what I put. I was just asking what you would do in the same place after you made the assumption

Have a 'pop' by all means but make sure you get it right! :thumbright: :ayatollah:
