The MALAYSIANS HAVE ALREADY MADE MONEY

Tue Jun 14, 2011 10:40 pm

....If Shearer IS coming to Cardifff City ...Big money has already been made on the deal....

Think about it..betting is big here and even BIGGER in Malaysia. WHO RUNS THE BETTING OVER THERE?

Who had a bet on Hughton?...Di Matteo anybody?...Robins?....No, No..It's Malky!

Big money has been laid down.. and now, it's Alan Shearer.

I wonder what odds the Malaysians got early on?

All we can do is hope this GAMBLE comes off for CCFC.

1 Shearer's got the contacts
2 He clearly hasn't got the experience
3 Has he got the man-management skills and judgement ?

Who precisely?
Which would make the likelihood the appointment, if it happens, is made for non-football reasons even higher.

Of course, everybody starts their first job as a novice... If he's coming to us, I hope he does well..

BUT IT'S A GAMBLE!

Or the decision was based upon non footballing reasons, ie marketing in Malaysia, Shearer's interests in Malaysia.

If that's the rationale for Shearer, then a business decision has dictated a footballing decision.

So this is all worth more than the 90m promotion would gain?

No, they're hoping to make a killing now AND get promotion too.

Sounds risky, not sure I go along with this at all.

Of course it's risky, the Malaysians are gambling men. Never make a bet myself.

As we've seen under Jones, there's no guarantee of promotion. No manager can claim that, though I suspect a larger number would have got us up by now.

Marketing in Malaysia with a big name, on the other hand, gives less reward - although give the popularity of football in the region, long term, not necessarily outside the reach that the figures may march - but with far less risk.

Malaysians could invest 30m in players, we stay down. Invest a fraction of that in marketing in the region, they'll make guaranteed money.
