' Malky is said to be fed up '
Club owner Vincent Tan’s meddling in team affairs has extended to sending Mackay in-game texts demanding substitutions and tactical changes.
Tan is happy to take a back seat when things are going well, according to sources close to the club.
But amid the tension as the Premier League came within sight last season and now as the Welsh club have struggled in the top flight, the interference has become more and more common.
Mackay is said to be fed up with the meddling and indications around the club are that he is only holding on to ensure he is properly compensated when the axe inevitably falls.
Yesterday the club had to deny reports they had gone as far as asking Mackay to resign in the wake of the sacking of Iain Moody.
The head of recruitment has been replaced by 23-year-old Alisher Apsalyamov, a Kazakhstan national who has contacts with Tan’s son, but no known footballing experience.
It is the latest move that has unsettled the club after agreement on the players’ bonus payments for winning promotion was only reached a week ago.
As a result, the squad had made it clear that Tan, who was the main money-man behind the takeover three years ago, was not welcome around the dressing-room. After an impressive opening home victory against Manchester City, Cardiff have slipped down to just one point above the relegation zone after only one more win in their last five league games.
Meddling: Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan [EMPICS]
Fans want Malky Mackay, who has done a fantastic job as manager, taking the club to the Premier League, to remain at Cardiff City
Tim Hartley, Cardiff City Supporters' Trust
Now, against the backdrop of these latest revelations regarding direct interference by phone, Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust chairman Tim Hartley has called on the club to make clear their position with regard to Mackay.
“Fans want Malky Mackay, who has done a fantastic job as manager, taking the club to the Premier League, to remain at Cardiff City,” said Hartley.
“We don’t want to see any action taken to undermine his position as manager and Cardiff’s efforts to have a successful first season in the top division.
“There are fears that the current developments could drive Malky into the arms of another Premier League club. He is a talented manager who has huge respect among the fans and we deserve a clear statement from the club on what is happening.”

Owners trying to get involved with the team has to be the worst possible problem for a Manager to deal with poor old Malky

Fair play to VT he called the mutch substitutions right in the last 2 games.

Tan: Please put Cowie on he has loads of energy
Malky: But Kim is having an amazing game....
Tan: Do as u told
Malky: Kim has the ability to create though
Tan: Bring Mutch on in second half.... he is powerful like dragon
Malky: Ok I will do that second half
Tan: Good
Mutch scores winner vs Fulham
Tan: I told you lucky red and Tan super tactics work wonder......why you no listen in other game?
Malky: It was a screamer out of the blue

I have to agree with that Polo lad, its just more pages of poor journalism without any quotes or press notes from the club itself.

Absolute bull shit posted by the media. Welcome to the Premier League, where they'll make up any sort of crap just to get a quick scoop. They'll make up anything just to get readers. This is absolute bull shit. We didn't see this last season so why should we believe it now? f*cking journos
Fri Oct 11, 2013 11:30 am
Ive got to be fair, its total bullshit but it made me laugh.

What a load of bullshit, if Malky just even once checked his phone during the game those pictures would be all over Match of the Day they love stuff like that
plus he would never get reception!

Sorry but the Tan expects top 4, and Tan texts Malky during games is pure fabricated rubbish.
Fri Oct 11, 2013 2:04 pm
I have never seen Malky texting during games

Jokes aside shit load of bollocks story once again..
Fri Oct 11, 2013 2:07 pm
Tan and quite a few thousand others in last few games, left kimbo on far too long.
Fri Oct 11, 2013 2:10 pm
I don't mean to play devils advocate but he could have one of those really small in the ear 4G gismos. You can pick them up on E Bay for a couple of hundred notes so it would be well within Tans budget.
Fri Oct 11, 2013 3:54 pm
Yeah you always see Malky with a phone in his hand. Also having that 4G gizmo that is just clutching at straws. What a load of bollox
