Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has insisted that his preparations for this weekend's match against Tottenham Hotspur have not been affected following chairman Vincent Tan's recent comments.

The businessman criticised former boss Malky Mackay, and blamed the British press for painting him as a "villain".

"They change nothing for this game," Goal.com quotes Solskjaer as saying. "He's coming to the game, coming to see us. I manage the club within my resources. He is saying we have a plan. Everything is in a structure, there are no ifs and buts.

"He knows everything I've done. I deal with football matters. He is very willing to invest, but wants to know ins and outs. It has to be transparent, but football decisions are mine. I'm not a person who wants a safe life. I'm in a results business."

The Bluebirds are currently second from bottom in the Premier League table.
