Vincent Tan confirms Mark Hudson offered Cardiff City job until the end of the season

Vincent Tan has confirmed that Mark Hudson is being offered the manager's job at Cardiff City until the end of the season.

Ahead of Tuesday night's clash with Hull City, Tan met with Hudson and assistant manager Tom Ramasut in Cardiff to discuss the plans for the club.

Hudson revealed Tan and members of Cardiff City's board were due in the Welsh capital this week to hold talks over his future and the Bluebirds owner has indeed confirmed that the interim boss has been granted the chance to do the job until the end of the season.

"I think he can do a good job. We had a long chat today with him and Tom (Ramasut). They are of the understanding of what's needed, that they will do their very best to do a great job for this club," said Cardiff's owner.

"Who knows, maybe we can make it to the play-offs. And if we win those, we can be in the Premier League again. I'm a positive person and I believe it is possible."

Tan also said that he would support Hudson in the January transfer window, if necessary, but he stressed no more "stupid transfers that lost us a lot of money in the Premier League" would be happening again.

The Malaysian businessman, whose club sit in 14th place at time of writing, still harbours ambitions of the Bluebirds reaching the play-offs and, ultimately, the Premier League this season.

"The difference between us and Preston in sixth place is seven points," he added. "If they lose three and we win three we would be right up there. I'm a positive person and I have a positive outlook for this football club."
