Annis the picture you paint of Malky is totally different from the stories i hear about him. I dont think its any coincidence no club will touch him with a barge pole.

Good. Talented player but flawed personality. The fact that he fell out with just about every club he ever played for does not suggest he is top class management material. He couldn’t even hold down a job as a youth team manager.

I’m grateful for the effort he made to play for his home town club and some good memories as a result of that, but he has the wrong type of personality to manage in the modern game.

In a game where dubious morals are often overlooked if a manager can achieve results, the fact that Malky has never been able to get a meaningful job in management since leaving us speaks volumes. He manipulated the fans on to his side, and not many of us like to admit when we have been duped, but he duped a great many of our fans into supporting him. It wasn’t a golden age for the team, and we made a much better effort at the Premier League under Warnock.

Malky is history. And that is where he is staying.

And when he went to Wigan, he failed miserably.

Sometimes it's just a case of a right fit with the right club and I think that was what happened with us. Would I want him back... No, we need to move forward as a club and if he returned, and it didn't work out that is what we would remember him as. Rather than what he achieved with us

He was only at Wigan 5 minutes and working under extraordinary conditions, that said returning to a club seldom works out. So I’d recommend Jim Goodwin (who’s returned to manage St Mirren) :lol: he knows how to set a team up.



he was at Wigan for 26 games before being sacked .

Not the pictures I paint of him, Read Bellamy's report on Malky.

Also just look at the facts what he achieved at Cardiff.

Plus I met Malky say 20 times, a straight/ honest person .


Unlike Tan in my opinion.

AND DONT FORGET I KNOW TAN PERSONALLY.

Great pity as he could have been a legend at our club and our greatest ever Manager!



I have spoken to many people with in the club incl Bellamy who had spoken out.
Malky was loved by everyone and adored.

Malky was hounded by Tan and Tan destroyed him as a manager.

Malky was being told in the last months who to play etc and he refused and certainly was no yes man.




If Tan went , I would have Malky back tomorrow.



I put Malky on fb and I have had more likes and fantastic comments regarding Malky since Eddie May.


I can’t see how Tan destroyed Malky as a Manager, if any owner wanted him and thought he could do the job they wouldn’t care what Tan says?

in fairness the texts / emails that were discovered during Tans investigation did put Palace off... but Wigan employed him and it was a disaster..im sure had Wigan gone better he would have continued his career...

Well Tan even hounded the Wigan owner over employing Malky, i can tell you now 24/7 Tan never let Malky have a mins rest.


Malky was the hero at Cardiff to the majority, Tan was not and that hurt Tan, maybe even he had respected us and left our identity alone, he might have been the greatest owner ever, I told Tan to his face before he did the Rebrand, dont do it, he laughed in my face about it :evil:

He didn't exactly set the footballing world alight before or after Cardiff so i don't think you can blame Tan for ruining his chances

These are the alleged text messages taken from the independent.

On the arrival of South Korean international Kim Bo-Kyung

'Go on, fat Phil. Nothing like a Jew that sees money slipping through his fingers'
On football agent Phil Smith

'He's a snake, a gay snake. Not to be trusted'
On an official of another club

'Not many white faces amongst that lot but worth considering.'
On a list of potential signings

'I hope she's looking after your needs. I bet you'd love a bounce on her falsies.'

Well put. Strange how people think changing a shirt colour is unforgivable yet easily sexist homophobic comments and you given hero status. And that’s just the ones we know about. There’s a moral compass spinning in the wrong direction. Like I said a horrible person and not that good a manager.

Malky had an eye for a player in his mould.

Look at Gunnarsson who was class. Was great in the premier league too. Leader like Malky.

People say about some of Malky’s bad signings but the bad signings were made by the shitty committee. When Malky had free reign he signed class and took us up.

Peter Whittingham was his best signing though.

No problem.

Bad signings?

Velikonja was a committee signing.
Cornelius was a committee signing.

I can’t think of any other bad signings. Maybe Kiss but he looked good on loan.

In fact Cornelius was the signing that Tan was most critical and vocal about and actually blamed Malky for it.

You should stop believing rumours.

Like I say I was a fan but there are plenty of signings by him that didn’t work out.
The complete flops that spring to mind were Odemwingie, Brayford

Brayford did well for us.

Odemwingie was swapped for Kenwyne who did well.

Tan has said a lot of things. 98% bullshit.

There were loads of teams wanting Whitts. He stayed to play for Malky.

I miss Whitts.

Wonder how he would perform under Harris? Probably be completely nullified like Wilson is.

Malky was the best manager we ever had. Hands down. Warnock is obviously a very close second (Our beloved Eddie makes up my top 3). From his first interview I knew he had something very special about him. I’m not going to get caught up in the dispute between VT and MM. I remember going into our prem season worrying we’d lose Malky to Everton (in fact I lobbed a fair amount on at the bookies to offset any disappointment - but I was delighted he stayed). Now, VT - go get Bellamy!
