Here are the latest Cardiff City headlines for Friday, October 28.
Tom Sang trains in midfield and at right-back every day
Tom Sang has revealed he trains both for a central midfield role and at right-back every day.
At the start of the calendar year, Sang went on loan to St Johnstone in Scotland, with then manager Steve Morison citing a disagreement between the two parties over where his best position was. Morison didn't see him as a wing-back, Sang thought that was where he could help the team the most.
Sang was left out of the pre-season trip to Edinburgh and the writing seemed to be on the wall. However, after a string of impressive pre-season displays in central midfield, he was brought back in from the cold.
His most recent displays for Cardiff have been at right back in place of the absent Mahlon Romeo and Perry Ng, however many believe he could aid the team in midfield, too. It's been quite the turnaround for him in the last few months, but he is desperate to grab his opportunity now.
"It was difficult, because it was more of a miscommunication in terms of enthusiasm to get the chance. I will play anywhere on the pitch. I really enjoy playing in midfield and I really enjoy playing right-back," Sang said of the so-called disagreement between him and Morison last season.
"I do bits of both every day. I played midfield in pre-season and feel like I did really well and feel I can add to the team in both positions. Energy on the ball and quality up the pitch is where I think I can add to the team.
"I take it week by week, when I get my opportunities, like at Swansea and QPR, I try to do as much as I can with it. Hopefully, with the opportunities that come in the future I can do the same."
Liverpool legend's response to Bellamy being linked with Cardiff job
Liverpool legend and Craig Bellamy's former team-mate Robbie Fowler believes the Burnley coach has all the attributes to succeed in management.
Bellamy, who is now Vincent Kompany's assistant manager at Burnley, was linked with the vacant Bluebirds post following the dismissal of Steve Morison, but swiftly ruled himself out of the running owing to the position the club currently finds itself in.
But the links were no surprise to Fowler, who played with with Bellamy at Anfield. When asked about his links with the Cardiff manager's job, Fowler told FairBettingSites: "People think because of how you were as a player, that you can't be the head coach clubs will want.
"Craig Bellamy, and me, have gone down the route of having every coaching badge under the sun, and that's because we want to do the job. Bellamy has gone out there, done all the right things, been ambitious. When you are behind the scenes of said players like Bellamy, you see how professional and how good their attitude is.
"I know there are stories and incidents that may change people's opinions on Bellamy, but if you're going out there, doing all the right things, have the dedication and the right attitude to be a manager, it should not matter. Bellamy will be happy with the job he's doing with Kompany at the moment at Burnley, they are doing very well.
"Eventually, Bellamy will get the chance and it will be up to him to get that chance again depending on how he does."
Gabbs brands Bluebirds 'directionless'
Bluebirds legend and former caretaker manager Danny Gabbidon has branded the club "directionless" and criticised Vincent Tan's continued absence amid the current malaise at Cardiff City.
The Bluebirds find themselves in a state of inertia, with Mark Hudson having been in caretaker charge for more than a month now but with the club two places further down the table than when Steve Morison was given the sack.
After three defeats in a row, there is palpable unrest among the supporters and results need to turn on their head quickly before the World Cup break.
And, speaking on the latest episode of the BBC's Feast of Football podcast, Gabbidon said: "Cardiff City are a team with no real direction, I would say. Caretaker manager in charge in Mark Hudson, trying to improve the style of football, which has got better, but there's still a long way to go with that.
"They don't even have a proper manager at the minute and there's no sign of that happening at the minute. Is it Mark Hudson? No one has said anything. The club has come out and said they are not actively looking for a manager, which I find strange. It's all still in limbo."
