Who will it be

So how are Sunday newspapers seeing the race to the vacant managerial in the Cardiff City dugout? Well not much. It seems to have passed most of the papers without the tag 'Premiership' or have a manager of note in the mix they are not interested.

  • The Wales on Sunday - Have a story the bookies fancy Watford boss Malky Mackay is the new favourite for the Cardiff City hot-seat.
  • Sunday People - They have the job as a two horse race between again Malky Mackay and Lee Clark to become their new boss.
  • Sunday Mirror - It's Chris Hughton who gets the nod as the long-term favourite in the eyes of the bookies, press and the fans.

Interestingly in the Mirror they are suggesting the Malaysians are going to give the new manager a £12 million war chest. The article also suggests the new bosses brief will be promotion and failure could lead to the sack. A club source told the paper,

"The owners are desperate to get the club up to the Premier League and will not tolerate failure"

It's not clear if the rumoured £12 million includes transfer fees plus wages if it does it will be nothing to cheer about. If the money is purely for transfers it could help with the quality of some signings. Will there be nothing left in the shops by time our manager does his shopping.
