Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer avoids transfer row

Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says that he does not want to get involved in the row between the club and Malky Mackay.

Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has insisted that he is not getting involved in the row between the club and former manager Malky Mackay.

Bluebirds chief executive Simon Lim criticised the Scotsman in a statement on Thursday, claiming that the signing of striker Andreas Cornelius cost the club £8.5m.

Solskjaer has refused to comment on the Mackay issue, but he has hinted that the club's summer spending left him with a smaller transfer budget to work with in January.

"What happened in the past is not for me," he told BBC Sport.

"I have the resources that were given to me, it was different in the summer, they had more money as they had just come up.

"Now it is not like that, it was not right when people said I had £25m to spend, but you have to look at the long-term, you can't just panic and only think of the short term, I only did what I could with the resources I was given."

Cardiff face Wigan Athletic in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
