Saint-Armstrong Posted 19 December, 2013 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.
Matthew Le God Posted 19 December, 2013 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.
nta786 Posted 19 December, 2013 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.
DuncanRG Posted 19 December, 2013 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?
Smirking_Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 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
pap Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Funnily enough, Brendan Rodgers was saying Tan was clueless about football in his press conference. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/19/brendan-rodgers-blasts-vincent-tan-cardiff-city-owner
SNSUN Posted 19 December, 2013 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.
gaz Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Have they got anyone in on work experience? Next manager.
Didcot Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 He's changed their club colours and wears a team shirt tucked into suit trousers with a long sleeved shirt underneath. Must be a right *****!
IOWSaintDaz Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Reckon Di Canio is waiting in the wings at Cardiff, same mentality as the chairman it seems
nta786 Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Just wondering but Mackay could possibly go to Watford? I swear Zola left 2 days ago, and seeing as Mackay played for Watford, it might be a possibility?
Didcot Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 They have already appointed a new manager
Matthew Le God Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Just wondering but Mackay could possibly go to Watford? 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 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
stknowle Posted 19 December, 2013 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 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. What a total and utter tool thank god NC has some idea about football matters!
NI Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 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.
Badger Posted 19 December, 2013 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
dubai_phil Posted 19 December, 2013 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. Tan seems to have Jet Lag. Feel sorry for the Cardiff fans, but then I guess Sunderland, Palace & Fulham will all sleep easier tonight. And I bet it is fun in the pubs of Swansea this evening...........
Bucks Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Muppet Chairman all the rage - wow. Roman A started it....
saint si Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Enormous unfair dismissal payout heading Malky Mackay's way!
scotty Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 They have already appointed a new manager Dave Jones returning to Cardiff Seriously??? Christ almighty.
Charlie Wayman Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Still, the welsh teams have no right to play in the English football league anyway What a misguided idiot you are, just that.. I suppose you think its funny to trot out xenophobic nonsense like this
Smirking_Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 What a misguided idiot you are, just that.. I suppose you think its funny to trot out xenophobic nonsense like this Theres already a welsh league you tit how is it xenophobic ? Or is there a midtable scrap between olympic marsailles and CFR Cluj ?
scotty Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 What a misguided idiot you are, just that.. I suppose you think its funny to trot out xenophobic nonsense like this Its all about opinions, Charlie, no need for abuse. I happen to agree with smirker, but its not xenophobia. There was a thread a while back about Rangers and Celtic joining the EPL because the scottish league is a joke, that didn't go down too well iirc.
stevegrant Posted 19 December, 2013 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.
Dig Dig Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Any comparison with Cortese in this instance is way off the mark

Could you download the application form mate? I have a few quiet months coming up
benjii Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Surely that's not legal? It's constructive dismissal but so what? Compensation is capped at about 70 grand so that's hardly material. His contract will no doubt contain something that enhances that. The law isn't really relevant.
Smirking_Saint Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 Surely that's not legal? Id suggest half the sackings in the prem are probably illegal
Wiggles31 Posted 19 December, 2013 Posted 19 December, 2013 What an absolute clueless bellend. If he does that I hope they go down.
gogo_saint Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Dave Jones returning to Cardiff as director of football I heard... No idea who would want to take that job on
whelk Posted 20 December, 2013 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?
Batman Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 in 12 months time. if the new guy has them in the top 10 playing good football. most (if not all) will say it was for sure, the right decision just not the way it happened.
Barry Sanchez Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 in 12 months time. if the new guy has them in the top 10 playing good football. most (if not all) will say it was for sure, the right decision just not the way it happened. Why would they say that? What do you get for playing good football and finishing 10th?
Batman Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Why would they say that? What do you get for playing good football and finishing 10th? better than playing crap and finishing 19th
Barry Sanchez Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 better than playing crap and finishing 19th You're not the real Batman are you?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Nothing gets past Barry. We should have him in goal while bolok is out.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 adkins was madness last season. now........ True, true. Clubs will look at us & think >> change manager, spend £40 million and we too could climb 5 places in the table! # it's happening
Chewy Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Bonkers situation, but Mackay will be fine. Didn't he play for west ham ... ?
Bearsy Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Nothing gets past Barry. We should have him in goal while bolok is out. I've been wondering a lot about that lately. Is that how's it's pronounced in ur culture? I mean, does Maya call him bollocks?
farawaysaint Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 True, true. Clubs will look at us & think >> change manager, spend £40 million and we too could climb 5 places in the table! # it's happening 2 million per place is only a net spend of 30mill by the way
Barry Sanchez Posted 20 December, 2013 Posted 20 December, 2013 Nothing gets past Barry. We should have him in goal while bolok is out. I think Tokyo really is Timmy Mallet.
