' Malky Mackay '

I can't remember the ins and outs of the case but wasn't it 'settled'. Nobody knows how much was paid out or what the agreement was or did I miss that? The statement may as well have been read out in Malaysian..

Here it is in plain English then!

We do know how much was paid out: less than Malky wanted and felt was entitled to.

Most likely was less than what Malky claimed for but so what. A bit like trying to sell your house. You put it on the market at a high price knowing that you will get less but something near what you really thing it is worth. Same applies to court litigation. Those who say Malky got nothing....well I wonder if they would put their mortgage on it?

The agreement was that Malky apologises for any mistakes and gives up on litigation.

No it was not. Malky apologise for offending anyone and that is what he did.

Now I like Malky and I think he's a decent Championship manager. But to claim there wasn't any wrongdoing from him in the face of this evidence is just being in denial. Just because you don't like Tan, doesn't mean he's always wrong.

And exactly what evidence have you of him doing any wrong? Nothing just like the rest who have a bee in the bonnet about Malky.

Take off your blue tinted specs! We all know malky can do know wrong in your eyes but come on clearly him and moody were up to know good! It's bad enough he paid £8 million for an unproven Danish youngster!!

And I fully appreciate what malky did for us by getting us promoted!

If he doesn't get the job then we KNOW he did something iffy with us.

We do? How?

We already know by his public apology and abandonment of his compensation claim.

Ah, so we don't KNOW then.

You must be one those people who walk outside Cardiff Prison and wonder if the people inside have done anything wrong .

After all, you don't KNOW what they've done, right ?!

Blue tinted specs.

Him and Moody were up to no good...once again what proof have you got....you dont have any do you?

Why are you lot so bitter and twisted ?
Malky was a very good manager for us, got us promoted where many others had failed.

What snide comments would you have made about the real crap managers we have had in the past ?

As someone else said......praise Malky for what he did, not comment on unproven gossip, and move on.

Your that blinded by the hatred for red and VT that you can't even bring yourself to admit there was wrong doing by malky and moody! Most fans can see that they were definitely up to no good whether it was irresponsible with transfer funds or back handers ...... who knows!

I don't think I've ever seen one positive post by yourself regarding ole, the new signings or the stadium!

Malky did a great job getting us promoted and I will always respect him for that! Seems like a great gent! But you can't tell me the situation with him and moody isn't slightly suspicious ??

Its ok for the anti ole, anti red and anti tan fans to constantly have a dig at our current manager! so fans also have the right to air their thoughts on previous managers!

its a bit more than that though.........if you had been in a well paid very high profile job with most of your career ahead of you.......how important would your good name be to you?...i know that if i was in that spot and had done no wrong going to court and winning would be paramount.....not the money,the winning , and then shout my innocence any wrong doings from every rooftop i could find to anyone that would listen............
funny thing is those that will scrape any and every excuse or reason for not behaving this way are often those that portray themselves as having strong ideals and sense of right re other issues

Spot on.

Unbelievable how some people speak of Malky even after his pathetic apology. It's like some people have no common sense.

The history books will show that Malky McKay is the most successful manager the club has ever had

Bullshit history books if they did. Finished high in top division and won FACup under previous managers in our History.

The history books will show that Malky McKay is the most successful manager the club has ever had

what with just one promotion?? how about manager when promoted to div 1 as it was, isnt that the same achievement?? and jimmy scoular, sorry malky was only here 18mnths or so, 1 cup final one promotion is a lot less successfull than some former managers of ours, just because got to premier doesnt mean he is any more successul than all other city managers who got us promotion from various divisions! or cup win

It seems many Cardiff fans want to believe that Malky is somehow a crook. The stories of bungs and that started the Malky hatred came from this very board, not from any real investigative journalism. I wouldn't be surprised if these allegations were started by staff of Vincent Tan in a bid to some how swing support to him. Sadly many people draw conclusions based on the first thing they read and indulge the cynical conspiracy view on things.

Malky Mackay left CCFC in a far better state than he found it. Especially financially.

Fist pump.

With the greatest of respect to past managers there is a vast difference between winning the Championship than winning lesser league and the same can be said between the Carling Cup and the Welsh Cup

100000000000000% agree How people believe such unproven bullshit is beyond me. There's an old phrase that says 'you tell someone bullshit over and over again and sooner or later they will start to believe it' and that's exactly what's been going on

bollocks success is measured by winning cups leagues ect it doesnt matter what era, and you conveniently forget he had also best budget any city manager had to achieve things, so that didnt make any difference then? and div one was not a lesser league at the time city were promoted there, so winning fa cup is not anything to speak off? i repeat he won 1 promotion thats it!

Promotion to the Premier League and runner up in the second biggest cup competition in the UK is much more successful than Division 2/3 titles and a welsh Cup winsRegarding the budget anyone can have a big budget but it's what you do with it that counts.

ok by your standards winning one promotion to premier is far more successfull than winning 2or 3 or more titles of another div? just dont get how you say one promotion to premier is better than 2 or more promotions from other div? history wont say malky is most successfull thats for sure.

So going on your theory then some team manager of the Cardiff Sunday League who's team has win a few leagues is more successful than managers at the Premier League then ? FFS

I guess it depends what you're basing most successful on.
If coming 2nd in the old first division, winning the FA cup once & the welsh cup 5 times is less successful than gaining promotion to the premier league as champions once & making a cup final once then Malky is obviously the most successful manager we've ever had.

I don't know about any of these allegations but it seems to me Tan paid him a lot of money to get out the club without kicking up a fuss.

Malky didn't walk away quietly, he was Sacked! Hadn't you heard? He was sacked and was talking about taking Tan to court to claim compensation.

Then a few months later he apologises humbly to Tan and drops his compensation claim.

So if you still think Malky was paid to walk away you're simply deluded.

I can't remember the ins and outs of the case but wasn't it 'settled'. Nobody knows how much was paid out or what the agreement was or did I miss that? The statement may as well have been read out in Malaysian.

Anyway....footballing wise Palace could do worse. I think they would be a good fit and I could see him doing alright there.

He's an excellent young manager. Speaking of the whole Malky/Moody thing I work and live in London and I have a few Palace supporting mates who credit Moody and their January signings as highly as anything Pulis did there.

Axeman please post more often.

Just to conclude the compensation thing. The compensation claim was dropped by Malky when another Premier League job came up (West Brom?), which he wanted to make himself available for. Malky could not rightly claim for unpaid wages if he was to be employed by another club.

Malky might have been a big name in South Wales but the longer his unemployment continued the more of a forgotten man he would become. The compensation claim could've taken a year and Malky is still a relatively unestablished manager.

Remember the Dave Jones situation anyone? He was playing golf a Celtic Manor for a year claiming his payout. Credit to Malky to saying "**** the money I want to get back in the game!" The oppostite of what many CCFC fans now believe. Very sad.

Good luck to him !

MAlky played us fans very well, he knew what he was doing, I lost respect for him after Match of day saga, he knew he had been found out so played the media as well, palace is a horrible club,

We do know how much was paid out: less than Malky wanted and felt was entitled to.

Most likely was less than what Malky claimed for but so what. A bit like trying to sell your house. You put it on the market at a high price knowing that you will get less but something near what you really thing it is worth. Same applies to court litigation. Those who say Malky got nothing....well I wonder if they would put their mortgage on it?

The agreement was that Malky apologises for any mistakes and gives up on litigation.

No it was not. Malky apologise for offending anyone and that is what he did.

Now I like Malky and I think he's a decent Championship manager. But to claim there wasn't any wrongdoing from him in the face of this evidence is just being in denial. Just because you don't like Tan, doesn't mean he's always wrong.

And exactly what evidence have you of him doing any wrong? Nothing just like the rest who have a bee in the bonnet about Malky.

Take off your blue tinted specs! We all know malky can do know wrong in your eyes but come on clearly him and moody were up to know good! It's bad enough he paid £8 million for an unproven Danish youngster!!

And I fully appreciate what malky did for us by getting us promoted!

Blue tinted specs.

Him and Moody were up to no good...once again what proof have you got....you dont have any do you?

No proof is correct, but with malky dropping the legal case, paying his own court expenses and publically apologising to the owner gives even the blindest of people (like yourself) a good indication of who was at fault, you were well and truly seduced by the fist pumps wern't you.

1. Malky "settled" instead of going into mitigation. Majority of claims happen that way. If Malky was at fault then the likes of Tan would have gone for the jugular and it would have been all over the papers "Malky gets nothing".
2. Malky apologised for if he had offended anyone. Read into the word IF.

Regarding your fist pump comment aimed at me well I shall remind you I got slaughtered on here when I said I feared us falling into a relegation fight in Malkys first season then announcing that I thought he would not be up to it in the premier. So no I was not seduced by the fist pump...show me proof where I was....but I think it is a good idea for a manager to acknowledge the fans don't you?

Have you ever wondered why malky is still out of work??? no chairman will ever let him loose with a cheque book after his reckless spending last summer we spent more than hull and palase combined only to produce mind numbing football, ole looks to have assembled a great squad for less money than malky spent in is promotion season therefor he should be given every opportunity to stamp his mark on this squad and everybody should back him and the team this season, as for acknowledging the fans, ole is the first to do that at the final whistle.

Yes I have wondered then I think how long was it before Dave Jones finally got back into management.

As far as Ole spending less money....lets see if we win the championship.

Ole has had to spend less money due to the fact that we had a far stronger squad before he bought players... Thanks to Malky.

Nobody KNOWS what happened behind closed doors, but to assume that wrong doing was done if he doesn't get the Palace job, is lunacy.

As for those trying to link it to blue/red - what nonsense. If anything, OGS seems fsr more understanding of the fans views on the blue.

Forget what Malky supposedly did or didn't do, I'll base my opinion of him on what I saw on the pitch, and quite frankly what I saw wasn't good enough. Yes, it got us promoted, but he set us up so negatively by the start of the Premier League season that we were at times painful to watch and the players were killing themselves.

I fully understand setting yourselves up to defend hard against the likes of Man City and co, but he was doing it against the likes of Stoke, Palace, West Ham, etc. It worked the first few weeks, but after the Spurs home game, everyone realised that was all Malky had in his locker and started to plan accordingly when playing us. Even our set pieces became ineffectual.

He's a one note manager, and doesn't have enough variety to his football philosophy to ever be a top manager. I don't doubt that he'll get other sides promoted, as his style works at that level week in week out, but it doesn't at the top level and Palace need to consider that before making any appointments. Hell, I'm sure he'll even get the Scotland job one day, but to all the people who were saying 10-11 months ago that he'd manage a top six side one day: no feckin' chance.

We do know how much was paid out: less than Malky wanted and felt was entitled to.

Most likely was less than what Malky claimed for but so what. A bit like trying to sell your house. You put it on the market at a high price knowing that you will get less but something near what you really thing it is worth. Same applies to court litigation. Those who say Malky got nothing....well I wonder if they would put their mortgage on it?

And what if you suddenly decide to take your house off the market? Because this is the equivalent of what Malky did. Combined with the the public grovelling he did, I'm prepared to bet good money that Malky got f**k all.

The agreement was that Malky apologises for any mistakes and gives up on litigation.

No it was not. Malky apologise for offending anyone and that is what he did.

So....you think that the public grovelling to Tan was just a coincidence ?!? Nothing to do with the settlement? And Malky apologised for mistakes , even though he didn't make any?

Now I like Malky and I think he's a decent Championship manager. But to claim there wasn't any wrongdoing from him in the face of this evidence is just being in denial. Just because you don't like Tan, doesn't mean he's always wrong.

And exactly what evidence have you of him doing any wrong? Nothing just like the rest who have a bee in the bonnet about Malky.

as I've said before, the evidence is:

Malky's humiliating apology
Malky giving up on his claim
Malky overlooked for Norwich and Celtic

And for the record, I don't have a bee in my bonnet about Malky. I have a bee in my bonnet about people being anti-Ole and pro-Malky so that they can have a go at Tan.
