SO, WHY DID MALKY APOLOGISE?????

If he is not receiving anything then could only be two reasons in my mind 1) wants to take another job imminently 2) tan did have something on him . Personally think 1 more likely but still be amazed if he didn't receive a penny

Legal proceedings wouldn't have stopped him taking another job. Moody took the Palace job with no issue at all. He may have been advised not to take a job whilst proceedings took place but that wouldn't have been a factor in any settlement whatsoever.

Loads of people pursue legal action against previous employers and work elsewhere. If they weren't able to do that how would they provide?

Maybe Malky has a job offer and can only accept it with the legal case finalised, so he has swallowed his pride and done what he had to patch things up.

Absolute rubbish, as annis said the truth will all come out in the end... Malky should have shut his mouth and not said the things about Tan that he did...

Was he, or wasn't he tied down if a new job offer did occur?

This is nothing to do with a job offer, thats the point, Malky has said some bad things about Tan and they have proof.. Which I'm sure will be unwrapped over the next few days.

Pffff.. Tan out!

If it's not 1 in my possible scenarios then agree, something dodgy possibly . Still find that hard to believe though . Why would MM rip the club off . Hopefully the truth will come out one day

Any wrongdoing may have been due to negligence as opposed to malice, risca. If he did do something wrong then of course that doesn't mean he did it purposely. It's also possible Malky was told one thing but the paperwork (i.e. the evidence) says to the contrary which is why he is now tied in knots.

The likelihood is we'll never know the semantics of the case due to the settlement.

You're probably right on the latter mate.

Told u why earlier

Mackay had no option but to settle

This settlement can have multiple parts

But I assure you one of them was cash and another a gagging order

Reason he settled was because he's been offered Norwich job and they won't touch him whilst he's in a legal battle

He had ultimatum off Norwich end dispute and sign or we withdraw offer

He can't afford not to take offer

So his lawyers go to tan Vincent now we will negotiate

They strike a deal where by malky accepts less than he wanted cos he's desperate to end it and go to Norwich and tan gets a better deal plus tan makes him apologise as part of the deal

Simple as that betting suspended hours ago on all bookmakers Mackay next manager by midweek

smakers.... you can get 7/4 on Malky being Norwich manager on first day of the season.

So why did Malky apologise ?



Because he put the screw in the Tuna

Most sites I've checked have suspended pal

got that from odds checker.... betfair, when I clicked on it it was down to even money though.

Hi tony, i see there have been plenty of different opinions on this thread which is great, what people must not do is let their judgement be clouded by their hatred for tan over the shirt colour. After reading the replies, in my opinion malky and moody are as guilty as sin, in life i've always been man enough to apologise if i'm wrong (which i have done on many occasions) why would malky and moody apologise in public and receive no compensation if they had nothing to hide,????? them fist pumps are starting to look very false this morning.

the manager betting on all clubs is suspended every night........he was actually 3rd fav at norwich,,but fav at Spam when betting closed yesterday..............
if he isnt Norwich manager nxt season,youll come on and say what you wrote is horse manure?

It's very bizarre. If what Tan had on Malky was so serious that it included taking back handers or laundering money etc then it would not have been settled out of court.

We all acknowledge that Malky and Moody did not spend the transfer funds well but an out of court settlement suggests that both parties are happy with the deal they have come to.

The truth will come out one day. I wish Malky all the best at Norwich if he does go there but he's another chapter in our history. I'm just glad we won't have to hear any more about it now this summer.

If you read the article it says why he apologised. Don't just read the headlines.

The backhanders are all internet talk.

The above Resonse was humour.
Though I don't think anyone picked up on it.
I do agree with you though.
Many used Malky as some form of Matyr for the Anti Tan Campaign.
He was a poster boy for them.
His support grew when the email became public.
It was nothing to do with Malky,it's always been the Tan Agenda.

Myself even.
I am sort of responsible for the Malky chant.
I didn't want Malky Sacked originally, I wanted him to be given the full season.
I wasn't upset that he did get booted.
But as time goes on more and more will come to light.

Most deals with sacked managers are done out of court but i have never read a statement where the manager actually apologised, im sure if it was the other way around (vt apologised to malky) then many on this board would be accusing tan of all sorts, also according to the mail, (who have been very accurate on city stories since the summer) malky has received no compensation and paid his own legal fees.

For me it can only mean that Malky and moody were ripping tan and the club off.

If Malky was ripping City off then Tan would off had him arrested without a doubt if there was a shadow of doubt.

Malky has apologised for his outbursts in the final weeks.

Malky can walk away with his head held high and can now get on with his future

i dont think he is walking away with his head held high...i never seen nothing like this before...always thought him and moody was a tad shifty

Annis said above they hate each other and that's believable the way they talk about each other so why would malky apologies and basically grovel in his statement for no reason.

In the echo a club spokesman said Cardiff can give details of the settlement if they wished and suggested fans read malkys statement closely.

Bet malky took Tans option to resign now, he would have left with his head held higher then.

Must be the first time ever a manager issues an apology for getting the sack!

If you want me to but like I said on the other thread west ham or Norwich without a doubt but mate of mine says Norwich is done

Others make up bullshit regularly on here merely stating what I've been passed on my money is down on Norwich but they are now a championship side and if fat head leaves west ham and he's offered that as well he's obviously taking the prem job

Why would West Ham sack Allerdyce because of his brand of football and appoint Malky?

Use your head!!

The tan haters on here will never believe malky did no wrong etc
and its all tans fault bull
the rumours have been going around for ages malky ripped city , tan and the mugged the fans making us believe all the crap about him etc
he is one of the biggest reasons our season has gone tits up
there is noway malky would have walked apologised and took no money to take the norwich job unless there was something wrong
Tan could never win even in court even if the evidence was solid the press would have ripped him and cardiff apart
how about Tan did what was right and allowed malky to walk with at least his rep intact but nowt else for the one reason what was best for cardiff

Why would West Ham sack Allerdyce because of his brand of football and appoint Malky?

Use your head!!

Why am I gettin shot down for my remarks on this thread it's pretty clear Mackay and the club have settled for reasons both parties won't disclose but I'm certain Mackay will be named new Norwich boss next week my money is on it

The reason I've been told Mackay was desperate to settle was beacuse Norwich won't take him while he was in dispute with city which is fair enough on there part

My reference to fat heads job was purely due to speculation about him being axed and the fact that Mackay now free from dispute and available (which he was even in dispute although most clubs wouldn't want the press coverage) plus also having links to west ham would be a strong favourite for the job and with it being a premier league job he would definately choose it over Norwich and let's face it this is football and nothing is certain is it?

But my money is down I have no reason to doubt my contact who has won me a lot of money in the past on manager betting he's not always right but I'm willing I take a gamble on his information

I think it was in Malky's interests to apologise - and it wasn't a full-blown apology anyway, more a conciliatory statement ("IF I have caused any offence..."). Maybe he took advice from Max Clifford before he got locked up!

At the end of the day he'll need to be able to get along with the owner of the next club he manages, and he doesn't want to be seen as a hot-head who's hard to work with. Mourinho didn't get a look in at Man U because he was considered too outspoken etc.
