Gunnarsson defends Cardiff owner Tan

Cardiff City midfielder Aron Gunnarsson has jumped to the defence of club owner Vincent Tan.

The Malaysian businessman reportedly offering his players a share of a £3.7m cash bonus if they manage to avoid relegation from the Premier League. The offer contravened Premier League rules that say any bonuses must be outlined before the start of a season.

Gunnarsson told WalesOnline: "It is nothing to do with us really.

"We are trying to focus on our thing which is playing football. That is the only thing we can do.

"But you can say he [Tan] is an easy target for us in this position.

"We are focusing on things and we have dealt with it quite well in the last three or four months. "

Asked about the bonus offer, Gunnarsson replied: "I didn't hear anything so I am not sure what everyone is on about. But, like I said, he [Tan] is an easy target."
