One of Vincent Tan’s sons is spending more and more time at the club in recent times, as well as being present at the Rotherham home game, Tan’s offspring has also attended recent away matches too. He is spending time at the club overseeing things at the club and becoming involved in day to day activities.

Cardiff City’s team will fly to Huddersfield tomorrow afternoon at 2.30pm, the squad will train at the Vale tomorrow morning before being coached over to Cardiff Airport for the mid afternoon flight. The team coach will then make its way to Huddersfield with the team kit on board and some staff members.

The cost for this exercise will cost approximately £10,000.

Anthony Pilkington is in full training and is fit for Saturday’s trip to Huddersfield though City do have injury concerns to a number of other players.

Joe Mason has now completed his move to Wolves but the delay was due to the severance package that had to be agreed between Mason and Cardiff City. Mason was entitled to a full settlement of his contract and this led to a number of conversations to come to an agreement on the settlement figure.

Mason did not want to leave and was happy at Cardiff but City agreed to the sale and the severance pay was the hold up on the deal.

Wolves have signed Mason for £3.5m which includes Joe’s signing on fee, City will receive £3m but pass 25% of the sale to Plymouth as part of the sell on clause, Mason will be £12,500 per week at Molineux and was on £10k a week at Cardiff.

Tony Watt, who has signed for Blackburn on loan, has been left disappointed by Cardiff City. Watt enjoyed his brief time at City and went through 3 days of medical examinations, which he passed, before the transfer embargo was put on the club but Watt was left frustrated by the fact that there was no contact by our club telling Watt what was happening. The striker hoped that City could have somehow got the deal done for him to return to the club but was kept in the dark once the embargo hit.

FAW officials were present at the Rotherham game last Saturday to look at the pitch that the FA of Wales paid for to be relaid,

In the last hour City have been linked with a loan move for Kenneth Zohore, who apparently is heading for a medical tomorrow according to reports.
