Malky Mackay: Not interested in the vacant Nottingham Forest job

Earlier this week the former Cardiff City boss was named on a three-man shortlist by Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi, alongside Steve Clarke and Gianfranco Zola.

But Sky Sports sources understand the ex-Celtic, Norwich and West Ham defender, who was controversially sacked by Cardiff at the end of December, is not interested in the position.

Al Hasawi, who is also chairman at the City Ground, has already been turned down by former Leeds boss Neil Warnock and club legend Stuart Pearce after talks were held over a replacement for the sacked Billy Davies.

Gary Brazil is in caretaker charge of Forest, who are currently seventh in the Sky Bet Championship, two points outside the play-off places.

Decent player but his management is outdated
Funny how West Ham kept with their manager and so did Norwich, West Brom went for Mel over Malky too A Championship club is only good enough for Malky, he's just waiting for his pay packet off Tan

If the rumours are to be believed he wont have to work again. Hmmmmmmm.

We shouldn't have, the relationship between them was unrepairable and we'd have been in a worse position/more or less the same with no January signings and the uncertainty. The players were losing faith with him(Bellamy, Caulker and Medel) and his reluctance to play Noone(who didn't start a PL game till 10 days before Malky was sacked) was holding us back, it took Mutch a last min winner vs Fulham, a goal vs Chelsea and a class game vs Newcastle to get himself a starting berth. If we kept Malky we'd have gone down anyway, we weren't scoring goals

Also what stability? We were one win in seven and not scoring goals, under Ole we have multiple game plans and flexible players, i.e. Fabio being able to play full-back, wing back and winger etc, we have much more attacking football and we have players we can call upon for years to come i.e. Daehli. If we go down and Ole stays we will have a more clear indication on how to play and will attract players for the way we want to play football

Annis, it's two days removed from April Fools

I doubt Malky snubbed it. I would imagine he wasn't even offered the role.

funny how malky decides to say he wasn't interested on the day pearce is given the job
if he was short listed at the beginning of the week how come it takes 4 days to say im not intererested then
annis how can you say if malky stayed our premiership place would of been guaranteed hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

He probably snubbed it because he is still on Tans payroll and he knows as soon as he takes a job the money will stop. He's not a victim, he's benefited from being sacked immensely.

We came up watching the most boring football i have seen in 30 years and probably would have gone down watching the most boring football i have seen in 30 years.. I liked Malky as a person but good riddance

I fails to see how any manager wouldn't be interested in the forest job .

Huge club , very good championship squad , massive following , rich history and new owner willing to splash the cash .
Not many better jobs in the country for a up and coming manager , most experianced managers would be tempted .

If malky thinks he's bigger or better than that position he is wrong !

I cannot get over the total disregard for Malky on here

I appreciate that Malkys football was not the best to watch on the eye but I agree with Annis that Malky would have kept us up if he had been left alone!!

What has Ole achieved to date????? A win over Norwich and Fulham!!! A battering off the Jacks and Hull!!!

In Malkys time we achieved a Carling cup final (which we nearly won) and play offs!!

2nd season we achieved automatic promotion!!

3rd season we beat Man city, Swansea and held Man Utd to a draw!!


I think Dave Jones was right about our fans when he said "you could bring Champions league football to this part of the country and they would'nt be happy"

I would say todays cardiff is a joy to watch and is very much showing progression, despite not getting the wanted results.
Where did malky lead us the first season, and what did you think of him then? 45 millions later still playing hoof balls.

Results are what matters, no matter what u say, a fact. If they are not and are we are relegated, then if your right then City will get 28,000 plus crowds no matter what next season

one of the reasons you gave for being so anti DJ was the relationship between him and the players was poor { lost the dressing room }..........exactly the same should be extended to the owner/manager relationship.........forget who was right and who was wrong..the relationship had broken down completely.......

Words fail me.

The first season is about staying in the Premier League, whatever style of football it takes.

After that - once you're an established Premier League team - you can look to play a better style of football.

Great Solskjaer is playing a "progressive style of football which is a joy to watch" as you put it - who cares if we're going down under him.

Clueless.

Why do you expect 28,000 in the Championship? We played attractive football in the Champ under DJ and got 25k max

I think that's his point. It doesn't matter style of football you play, it's results and the league you're in that bring in the crowds.

Whether you agree about his sacking or not, some of the stuff people say about the most successful manager we had in a generation, is shocking.

I like Ole & I happen to like Malky too. He did an awful lot of good for this football club & to see the way some speak of him on here, is shocking.

I dont and Know we wont get those crowds. Thats my argument if Ole's brand of football is so good, yet we get relegated all that means nothing, because 10,000 fans will desert like flies, because all they care about is not Ole, but staying in the Premier League.

Me personally I will support City no matter what league,or results, Identity,pride,passion and loyalty means more to me.

Now how about some of u showing some Respect to Malky who gave us 2 and half years of nothing but Glory, Fact u cant deny.

SPOT ON Alex, its a disgrace the way some of Tans followers slam Malky.
