It is Malky Mackey then

Cardiff finally got their man in the end with Malky Mackey is on board has the new manager. It now closes the door officially on the madness surrounding the post we the fans have had to put up with after the sacking of Dave Jones. Now the work begins a new squad to build and fans to impress and the owners and board who are looking beyond the Championship. I was not a fan of Dave Jones but give him my full support has manager of Cardiff City until the Reading game. If he had stayed with the Bluebirds, he would still have my support because at the end of the day it is about Cardiff City not the individual.

From what I have heard we have a new boss with passionate about his football, someone who unlike the past manager would not talk about a game against your local and deadly rivals as just another game. Something I have been hoping for some time is passion in the dugout

His managerial career consists of a short stint has caretaker at Watford. Then, a manager Brendan Rodgers left for Reading, he moved on from coach to boss for the last two seasons for the same club. In his two-year tenure in charge at Watford there finished mid-table both seasons. Before joining the Bluebirds, other clubs Newcastle and Burnley were looking towards him as a possible manager. Instead of moving he signed a new three- and a half year contract in March with Watford.

He will come, but when

Good to hear that the Cardiff team searching for the new manager sort advice with the search has the board has not much in the way of footballing experience. One of the experts has been named is ex-boss Lennie Lawrence who is assistant manager at Crystal Palace while chief executive Gethin Jenkins also sort other opinions.

Jenkins said: "We have held discussions with representatives of interested parties and have consulted with various football experts to get feedback on potential candidates."

Cardiff's headhunting team consists of Jenkins and director Alan Whiteley are under pressure to find the right man for the job and every bit of knowledge helps. The papers and fans have former Newcastle boss Chris Hughton has the front-runner, but there is no guarantee the post is his for the taking there are some interesting names being linked. Whoever gets the call will have a major job rebuilding the squad leading to some interesting times for the fans.

Fans are banking on an announcement on Monday while the club have asked fans to be patience, which is easily said than done when you live and breathe the club. All we see are our rivals moving ahead with plans for next season while we are still at the starting gate watching. The board should have been more decisive and sacked former boss Dave Jones straight after the Reading game and all this new manager stuff would have been over by now. The new boss will have a big shop list, but will he have to budget to fill it after the Malaysians chased the Premiership dream last season. League fixtures are out next Friday it will be pre-season training so and at the moment the Cardiff squad could just about a five-a-side team.
