Future of Cardiff boss Solskjaer looking precarious

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's future as Cardiff manager is in doubt after the Norwegian held talks with the club's hierarchy in London on Wednesday, reports The Guardian. The former Manchester United striker left Molde in January to succeed Malky Mackay and was appointed on a 12-month rolling contract by the club's unpredictable owner Vincent Tan.

However, his time in Cardiff has been little short of disastrous, with relegation in his first season and the club now languishing in 17th place in the Championship.

Cardiff have won only five of Solskjaer's 25 league games and have picked up only one point from the last 12 on offer.

Tony Pulis, who left Crystal Palace in the close season and was born in nearby Newport, was immediately linked with the vacant post.
