The landscape of football is becoming a bit of a joke. Not only are his credentials non-existent, the lads just 23. What knowledge could be possibly impart upon footballers who have been at the game since they were in their single digits? Soon, the son of someone who knows someone will make an appearance for them. Hasn't happened yet because of FIFA's ruling in regards to a country's world ranking (needless to say that based on this alone, we'll likely not qualify on merit alone in the foreseeable future). However, there is a loophole. Youth players can circumvent this by being attached to foreign clubs in say Australia and be considered homegrown talent. It's the only way we'll ever see a Malaysian play in the Premiership under the current ruling. In our lifetime anyway.

We already have one malaysian playing in the premier league....Shaun Maloney

Born in Miri, Sarawak Malaysia ..

He may technically be Malaysian by virtue of being born here but he left when he was 5. I doubt he is in any way attached to his Malaysian roots. Am referring to a locally manufactured product from our youth system, being exported over.

He was Malaysian, too bad he converted to scottish when he was 5..

a big loss to our national football team.. i still considered him as the best talented football player ever born in our country..

Not bothered in the slightest.

1) Tan backed Malky fully in the summer yet a lot of money was wasted on Cornelius who by Malky's own admission was never ready to dive straight in at this level of play - absurd given that the money could have gone towards the Montero and Ince deals to bring in two players who would have given us more of a cutting edge up front - which we are currently in dire need of

2) Tan bought us by his own admission in interview as an investment and business. He has been clear with this from the moment he got involved with the club and wants to maximise his profits and business portfolio using us. He hasn't pretended that he is the greatest footballing man and yes he has stated he would try to learn the game but he is a business man first and foremost and as a business man he has the right to be annoyed with the amount of money wasted on transfers in the summer

3) Cornelius has so far proven to be a waste of money unless we end up back in the Championship where he may end up useful

4) The Brayford signing was borderline insane and nothing else needs to be said on that

5) The Velikonja signing was insane and that was a signing by Malky and he has admitted to that

6) I dislike Tan for the rebrand but on this I agree with him wholeheartedly. I would in his position be irate with the spending that took place in the summer and whilst it was signed off by him he would have trusted Malky's football judgement and he put that true belief in Malky to sign players of quality with his money yet Malky wasted it. How must Tan feel with that?

7) Tan is not an endless pit of cash like Man City's owner or Roman Abramovich who can fund the club using interest and annual profits. He wants to implement a fully sustainable model hence all the changes and debt payoffs to our liabilities which you can happily check out yourself online with a bit of digging. By wasting tens of millions of pounds as Malky and Moody did in the summer we are heading down that same path of instability financially and we'll be back on the brink of admin and square one before you know it.

8) Why was Kevin McNaughton given a new contract? What's the purpose of this when he has just been shipped out on loan and how much are they contributing to his wages? I'd love to know as that could yet be more expenditure wasted on players that are of no benefit to us at this level.

9) We are a Premier League club now but not an established one. We, if we are to survive at this level, need to be shrewd in our financial dealings and need to ensure we do not waste millions on players like QPR did. We have not wasted as much as they did and we fortunately at this point don't find ourselves in the mess they did but we still need to be clever to both increase turnover and profit margins and therefore reinvestment on the right assets

10) Malky has many faults many refuse to see due to (a) him getting us promotion after years of heartbreak, (b) the ability to side with him in this inner club political war with the owner of whom many hate due to the rebrand, Tan, and © because of his rapport and attitude with the fans and ethos of 'we're all in this together as a unit and the fans are everything'. Malky talks the great talk but the combination of his stubbornness of playing style, substitutes, favourites and his ineptness and wastefulness has to cost him his job. In any other business and thats what football is these days, he'd have been sent walking a long time ago. I believe Tan has been patient but the ' I want 3 more players' statement was the final straw for Tan and he snapped and he has every single right to do so as a business owner.

11) Hate Tan as much as you want for the rebrand and thats fine but in this regard he is totally right. Is he right to air it publicly? Not really as business should be kept behind closed doors but I can see why he did snap when the statement was made to the press. He is a business man trying to turn around the financial fortunes of his latest investment and the men he's entrusted to spend his cash wisely have by their own admission squandered it on players not ready. Cornelius' value crashes if we end up back in the Championship and he's not plying his trade against the best. That's club assets losing worth per season and thats bad.

12) I am not prepared to see the club I support go under because of the idiotic spending of a few. I have seen my club go down that path once before in my short lifetime and once was enough. Why can't we learn from mistakes? You can't have a financially sound club being run whilst allowing staff to waste large sums of cash on players not contributing to the businesses cause. This is the real world with strict financial restriction imposed by higher powers, where the tax system will pounce on you like no tomorrow. This is not a football management video game where you can enter a cheat and generate loads of cash to spend. How lovely would that be? This is real life and we need to be careful or we might spend our way back to depths of the pyramid system.

- Vincent Tan was right-

So it has come into revelations that Vincent Tan is a better human being than Malky Mackay & Ian Moody combined. And LOL to our netizens for bashing their fellow countryman in a typical, premature, judgmental fashion.

That was theirs. But for ours :

1. He is a Malaysian.
2. Different political ideology.

Without taking into factor that he is also a businessman who invest a lot of money and time into an entity and would like to see instant result to justify his investment, just like every other sane businessman. And also the fact Mackay and Moody were underperformed even with the backing of the almighty dollars. Do this to your employer, you'll be fired on the spot.

Also I don't believe any Malaysian here truly give a damn about the colour of an unknown football club from thousands miles away if the owner doesn't relate with the 2 points above.
