Cardif sack manager

Malky Mackay has been sacked as manager of Cardiff City after two-and-a-half years in charge.

Vincent Tan has decided to dispense with the 41-year-old Scot’s services after a bitter public breakdown of the relationship between boss and owner .

It comes less than 24 hours after yesterday's 3-0 home defeat against Southampton, which followed fans' protests against Tan's running of the club.

Didnt see that coming..... shame for Malky but i am confident West Brom will move in for him.

Maybe James Brent isn't that bad after all.......

But justifiable Angry.........now Malky Mackay is different.   

It's becoming a bit of a habit now for the new breed of mainly overseas football club owner to sack the man that did the impossible and get their "small" club into the Premiership. Cardiff is no surprise, it happened to Holloway, it happened to Warnock, twice. There are others.
There seems to be a bit of a pattern developing where businessmen invest to push themselves over the line. And then with riches and parachute payments totaling possibly £100m over a few years, the businessman gets rid of the most popular man at the club and pockets as much as he can.

Holloway always said it would be worthwhile being promoted and relegated in two successive seasons to establish a club for a generation and not spend on huge PL wages.

Cardiff are bound to implode, they've been on steroids for a long time. The previous debts of years gone by are just under the surface still, and the whole unofficial  "franchise" of the Wales United red thing is bound to bite the owner back sooner or later. There's going to be a bit of a ruck I should imagine. Money first, football second.

Malky will get a big payoff i hope and if Ole Gunnar was spoken too before Malky was fired then i hope the LMA act swift.

Cardiff were going down under mackay, he's not a premiership manager, cardiff now have a chance of staying up, i'd take tan anyday over the current owner of our club.

Malky did a great job there certainly in no way warranted the treatment he received from mr clueless foreigner Tan all becasue he thinks Cardiff should be in the top 4 by now which of course no manager will ever do there.

I am no fan of Brent as you and others know full well but if i had the choice between him and tan he would win by a small fraction. Still wouldnt wish either on exeter city though.

With respect, has it dawned on you, Suffered, that the owner ain't that bothered which division they are in next year. If anything, being in the Championship gives him the perfect cover to pull in the huge parachute payments without much ado and pressure to pay out on PL wages.
As has often been quoted, the Mel Brooks film, the Producers, explores just one of the benefits of backing a loser in business, and that was an age ago, pre Leesson and BCCI, the big bang, and all that realisation that the system was ripe for the plucking. Don't you realise the whole economy is infected with hedge funds, derivatives and the like, all praying for losses, and that's just one way of skinning the cat. Football, with the community interest insurance of a city football club is ideal with it's badly thought out parachute payments.  We're talking a lot of money here.

indeed,

Anybody say the same thing when Southampton sacked Adkins?

The Adkins thing was a bit more pro all round but in the death the push is still the push.

why all this talk of solsjaker ? molde fininshed 6th last season. usual pro man utd hype.

You'd have to be mental to go there if you have any integrity, any sense of self worth or any respect for Cardiff supporters. Sven looks odds on then.
One thing in Tan's favour is that he hasn't splashed the cash on big name players although I heard on five live that they're close to £90m in debt - how that's possible, I have no idea.

I think they have signed a few who fall in to the 5-10 million bracket, price-wise.

They were £30 million in debt when they were choking in the playoffs year in year out, they are another team that bought their way to the prem with money they didn't have, some would call going for it but another mans going for it would be called a gamble.

Football is a serious competition and I don't mind any owner wanting to go for it. It all adds to the soap opera. What I do object to is these owners never committing their own money properly and just loaning the club money. The rule should be the "investment" should be EQUITY in the company, so the club community is not under permanent threat and the behest of a megalomaniac. It was done the correct way at the likes of Blackburn.
I see this latest Tan character promised he would turn all his Cardiff loans into equity if Hammam did a final deal on his own  loans that were coming to maturity and threatening to bring the club down. We shall see.
At least the whole saga gives Cardiff fans a little insight of what it must have been like to be an Indian local being harried and insulted by some ill mannered inbred English toff and his mad wife. No one likes me, I don't care, sort of thing.

We might as well get used to it. It won't be long before our local Church going squires pushing us off our pavements are Chinese and Brazilian. I'm not worthy.
