Saint-Armstrong Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25457024 Just before we play them! Think this could be his biggest mistake yet, the guy is an absolute nut-job. Makes Cortese look like a pussycat. I actually feel quite sorry for Cardiff fans now, even more so than before. Odds on a crazy appointment? Also, if I was West Brom I'd be waiting for Mackay to go if it's imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 Why would he resign and miss out on a huge payout? He might as well wait for the sack, Mackay's reputation won't be tarnished by any of this and he'd easily get another good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 Mackay is a great manager, Tan is gonna regret this move, though agreed with post above. WBA would be a perfect club to establish himself in the PL too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 Vincent Tan is an absolute loon. I wonder whether Cardiff fans might be the ones who are brave enough to kick up a serious stink against the guy who bankrolls them. Mackay will get a better job and do just fine. Wonder whether Tan might look at Steve Clarke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 He is just a real tit, some big idiots in and around the PL basement at the moment including Tan, the hull chairman and even Tony Fernandes of QPR though I get the impression he is more idiot then mentalist. I sort of agree with both MLG and Armstrong here, should he be able to manufacture the move WBA and Mackay could do an aweful lot worse than each other, as per who would join Cardiff ? Dont know ? Whats Sven doing these days ? Still, the welsh teams have no right to play in the English football league anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 Madness. Mackay is a good manager who was doing a good job, but clearly the nutter Tan is expecting more for the money they spent. Cardiff fans would be right to protest this. I think Malky would be a perfect fit for Norwich, with the history he has and the fact that Hughton is riding a fine line, but the WBA job is free and it's as good a job as any in the Premier League in terms of expectation. I bet Swansea fans are most amused by the goings on at Cardiff this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear Zola left 2 days ago, and seeing as Mackay played for Watford, it might be a possibility? Mackay didn't just play for Watford, he managed them. Watford have appointed a new manager in any case yesterday - Giuseppe Sannino, plus returning to Watford would be quite a step back for MacKay.

John Boy Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 Thought I heard on the radio that MacKay mentioned 3 players needed in Jan and Tan said "no" followed by "what have you done??"!! Blimey Charlie he got your team into the richest Football League in the World! MacKay knows to sit tight, and fair play to him he has been very good at keeping his mouth shut while all this is going on. Guessing the next manager......... It will probably be another friend of the Tan family. Bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stknowle Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 What a fruit loop. Main gripe appears to be Mackay spending 'too much' (26.5M) on players when the budget was 35M. Alright, perhaps add ons take it past that but surely he had final sanction so he was aware of and approved overall spend and could have refused, or is he just not very good at maths?

Didcot Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 Judging by his sacking and appointment of a new manager of scouting he will appoint a Taiwanese Window Cleaner as new manager.

NI Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 Mackay is a good manager for a team like cardiff, Tan is the best example of everything that is wrong with having owners with no football experience or idea about the game and someone who uses a football club as his play thing. Cortese might not be everyone's cup of tea but I would take him over Tan any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 (edited) Mackay is a good manager for a team like cardiff, Tan is the best example of everything that is wrong with having owners with no football experience or idea about the game and someone who uses a football club as his play thing. Cortese might not be everyone's cup of tea but I would take him over Tan any day. No comparison is there ? I have not been a supporter of NC all along the way, but Christ alive, he has made a positive impact, and keeps his rants private. Putting it in context, I'd take Rupert back, ahead of a c^nt like Tan. Edited 19 December, 2013 by Badger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 19 December, 2013 Share Posted 19 December, 2013 About a year ago we all thought NC was as mad as a box of Frogs when he sacked our Nige. This all seems very different.

NC had a Bloody Good plan. Even with the benefit of hindsight, I think everyone recognised that NC had a plan - whether it was a "Bloody Good" one or not was open to debate at the time. Tan doesn't appear to have a plan of any sort - what's his end game? So you get rid of Mackay - whether he's doing a good job this season is debatable - what's next? Sure, there will be plenty of managers willing to take the cash on offer for what would probably be a short-lived job, but it's hardly conducive to stable progression.

whelk Posted 20 December, 2013 Share Posted 20 December, 2013 Still the fans will come in their lovely red replica shirts. We all like the riches and glamour of the PL but seriously worrying how many ****s it is attracting to invest. Always disliked Cardiff though so find it funny and rather they went down than a better run club. Feel more sorry for a Hull though which is similar situation. Still never know their May be another Steve Kean out there. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his own soul?
