Perry: Tan must realise he is not playing a computer game with Cardiff City

Former Cardiff City star Jason Perry has branded the club’s decision to ditch head of recruitment Iain Moody and bring in Alisher Apsalyamov, who was at the Premier League side on work experience, ridiculous.

The 23-year-old Kazakh is a friend of owner Vincent Tan’s son and replaces the man who helped the Bluebirds sign Andreas Cornelius, Kevin Theophile-Catherine, Frazier Campbell amongst others.

But the former defender believes the move to employ Apsalyamov will completely undermine manager Malky Mackay who has built a superb relationship with Moody over several years.

And Perry has insisted the billionaire owner's actions are akin to a child playing a computer game.
