' MALKY MACKAY ISSUES STATEMENT '

"It is with the deepest and most sincere regret that I today confirm my sacking as Manager of Cardiff City FC. As disappointing as today's decision is, I am already able to look back at my time at Cardiff City FC with immense pride and joy given the number of milestones the Club achieved during the last 2½ years. A League Cup Final appearance followed by promotion to The Barclays Premier League for the very first time, achieved as winners of The Championship, allowed the Club a move back to this elite level after a 51 year absence.

"I have enjoyed my time immensely at this fine Club, in this great City, and throughout I've always attempted to put my own personal stamp on specific areas that I believe to be all-important, such as the implementation of a progressive culture as well a complete professional approach to all aspects of day-to-day management, that are required if you are to become a top Club - and more importantly to remain as one.

"I would like to thank my players, all of my direct footballing staff, all the people behind the scenes at the Club and most importantly the people of Cardiff, who have stood behind me resolutely throughout my time here and especially in these recent turbulent months. I leave with my head held high having gained a level of experience that, upon reflection, I suspect would have been difficult to find anywhere else in British Football. The foundations laid at Cardiff City FC will provide a solid platform for my successor, and for the sake of the Club, I hope that all of the progress that has been made so far will not be impaired in any way by today's enforced changes."

Thanks for what you did for us Malky

Thank you Malky, you have been a bloody good servant to our club and it's fans pity the owner of the club hasn't got the honour in him to agree with my sentiments but heyho Tan knows a bit more about football than me I've only been supporting city for 49 years - Good luck for the future Malky the fans will always give you a warm welcome at the CCs I'm sure

Fine words by a fine man.

The man is a credit to himself,good luck malky and all the best

Fine words by a fine man.

Agreed, he can hold his head up high, he did a fantastic job and acted as a true professional, I am sure he will have a great career

Whatever a manager feels when sacked, that is the sort of statement that they should issue. Take the moral high ground.

Gutted!

Just hope his successor keeps us moving forward!!!!

The time is right to go it doesnt matter who you are how good you are if you have the chairman against you and no previous experience in the premier league your not going to get 100% from the board or the players.

The difference is if we have a proven man in charge and we are creating alot more chances looking dangerous we can have confidence in the team

he doesn't know where Port Toilet is FFS

He will always be held in high regard as far as I'm concerned. We've achieved so much under him (putting VT and his money aside) and whilst I'm not a huge fan of the defensive football we've been playing this season, I can only respect Malky and thank him for all he's done for us.

A truly dignified professional with huge reserves of integrity. He'll go far in the game and I'm sure of that.

Quality statement by a quality man

A class man for sure.

Done a great job with us but did have the backing needed
Still not easy to get out of the championship but with the backing he did what he should have

Played the press and the fans fantastically and has left with a load of money and possible a job waiting for him
Time will tell if he is a great up and coming manager or an average manager

he will be missed badly.

Absolutely gutted. We will miss you Malky.

Cardiff City's greatest manager and sealed his place in our history though attitude and achievement. Professional to his fingertips and will be greatly missed. I will never forget how he built a team and framework within only weeks from the season start and then went on to deliver so much. Type of bloke you want around for the long hard haul. Gutted.

Great words from a great man

Thanks for everything Malky

thats the point

Great words indeed
Nice man did a good solid job

On another note
I for one can't wait to read his book
Then we will see the full truth to whats
The full storey is.

I really dont think Cardiff City has seen the last of Malky. I believe some where down the line he will be back at Cardiff ,of course not while little Hitler is here . Good lucky Malky I believe your going to the top.

Don't waste your breath Malky, if this lot win today you'll be history.
