Cardiff owner Vincent Tan's unorthodox running of the club has bemused fans of the promoted Welsh side, not least his decision to change the "Bluebirds" home shirts from blue to red.

The Malaysian tycoon complained at the start of the week that Mackay had overspent in the last transfer window and would not receive "a single penny" in January despite the manager wanting three new signings.

Cardiff have made a decent start to their first Premier League campaign and lie 15th.
