Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left Norway on Vincent Tan’s private jet, set to be named Cardiff boss [TV2]

So much for all those people (including Sir Alex Ferguson and Gary Neville) warning Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not to take over at Cardiff with Vincent Tan in charge.

Norwegian Television station TV2 is now reporting that Solskjaer has left the country on Vincent Tan’s private jet and is set to be announced as new Cardiff boss in the coming days.

Solskjaer, a Manchester United legend, has been a huge success at Molde, winning their first league titles in their history as well as the Norwegian cup and is considered one of the brightest young managers on the planet.

TV2 claim Solskjaer is heading to England to finalise negotiations with Tan and will be announced as Cardiff’s new boss before the FA Cup tie with Newcastle on Saturday.

Tan’s private jet (see picture above) left Norway this morning, with Solskjaer on board and TV2 say it is only a matter of time before Molde lose their manager.

Negotiations between Cardiff and Solskjaer have been ongoing since Christmas and this would be a coup for Vincent Tan, who has become somewhat of a laughing stock in England.

It is unclear whether Solskjaer will be at the Emirates today to watch Cardiff take on Arsenal but the plane is landing at Luton airport so there is a clear possibility.

The 1999 Champions League final match winner had six months of his contract left at Molde and TV2 add that the Norwegian side are looking for a replacement coach.

Cardiff caretaker coach David Kerslake is in charge for the clash at Arsenal today.
