SO, WHY DID MALKY APOLOGISE?????

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.

Well, it certainly seems that way at the moment, the plot thickens.

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.

Either Norwich are paying big bucks or Tan had evidence that would have ended the management career of Malky on a whole with the court case they were meant to have. I guess both parties are happy that they've come to a conclusion though.

I did ask earlier in the year,on how, if at all,peoples opinions would possibly change/alter if malky had indeed been in cahoots with moody,in taking "bungs" and therefore ripping the club he proffessed to love off??Maybe just maybe on this matter at least,tan was right in his decision to sack malky.I said at the time,I found it very strange that he was told to resign or be sacked,most other managers are just sacked with no chance of resigning.dodgy if you ask me!

PWO:Tend to agree there,did tan not say earlier in the year,that he would make a statement at the end of the season regards the sacking/s? Bit odd that with one game left that all is settled! Leans my thinking towards tans statement could/would of been detrimental towards malkys future management wise?? The plot indeed thickens! But in all fairness,us fans will never know.

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

No compensation though Annis, thought you were looking forward to seeing this court case happen?

Few things to note not this

Malky claims no wrong doing we have no proof either way

Malky could not get another job with litigation hanging over him

Now two jobs he'd like have officially come up (west ham it lookalike and defo Norwich)

It was in his interest IMO to get his pay off for sacking so he was free to manage one of these jobs

As for what would have happened and come out if it went to court who knows

But football is about money and managers players clubs are all the same neither the club nor malky wanted this to go to court it was purely who would give first and it appears it was mr Mackay

Had he gone by principal which I belive people should then it should have gone to court but money talks and so does future income if he found himself out of work for another season he may find it hard to find work

If say the deal is done to Norwich and they said sort your differences with Cardiff and then you can join us

Just my thoughts

Malky didn't get a penny, had to pay his own legal costs and issue Tan an apology.

There's certainly more to this than Malky just wanting to manage Norwich.

To me it looks like Tan was right.
If Tan had apologised i'd be saying Malky was right and so would annis and alot on this board..

If I am honest that bit worries me. But if their is evidence on Malky, surely Tan would have Malky arrested? they hate each other.

If I hated someone there's no way I would apologize unreservedly.

If his contract was anything like Dave Jones' then he would only be due payment for the remaining term of his contract while he was unemployed. So I assume he will be named Norwich boss in the next couple of days which is why he isn't carrying on with the case.

But surely if someone ripped you off then you would have them arrested? Just another one of Tans scams and fit the bill perfectly. We have been hearing we would know he truth, and now we don't.

Correct, he said the truth would come out in the end when the timing was right, now we'll never know unless we think for ourselves

Why did malky apologise to someone he hates that much? Tan might have had evidence malky/moody were upto no good but that doesn't mean it would be enough evidence in court.
And why does it worry you?

This ^^^ . Given there is no love lost between the two, the fact it reached a settlement ( MM was paid a large sum of cash) tells you the myths about MM being on the rob were a load of bollocks spun by people with their tongues up Mad Tans arse

Malky wasn't paid anything at all.

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.

Would make sense for him withdrawing but why the apology?

And didnt someone mention he was after 4m in comp? he wont get near that sort of money working for Norwich. People dont just give up big compensation like that.

.......and ruin his reputation in the process?

You only apologise when you're wrong or sorry for something. You only settle for nothing in a court of law when you're (1) out of cash to continue funding the case and (2) when you're wrong. Either Malky was advised to drop the case because it would become too costly to pursue. If that's the case then why the apology? It still doesn't explain that. Secondly, he was advised by lawyers that the other party had something on him and it was within his interests to settle for nothing and call it a day without it going further. In this instance an apology makes sense.

To any business owner out there with a brain now Malky looks like someone who was in the wrong and was advised to walk away from the proceedings. I don't believe for a second Malky would have done that out of choice and I do believe Tan's lawyers had something on Malky which was passed on to Malky's lawyers who at that point decided to advise him to drop it and apologise.

Of course that is speculation and we'll probably, due to the nature of the case and settlement, never know what actually went on behind closed doors.

He might not have done anything illgeal but it doesnt mean he hasnt done anything inappropriate.

Probably a bad example but if say a 60 year old teacher slept with his best friends 16 year old daughter on her birthday, he hasnt done anything illegal but I doubt he would want the local community finding out about it.

The same way he was asked to resign?keeping his reputation,or be sacked and go to court, and possibly have your reputation torn to shreds.tan did say he would make a statement at an appropriate time,not whilst season was still ongoing! Malky has not done himself any favours,the apology speaks volumes.all speculation though,as we will never know.

How do you know that ?

"The 42-year-old Scot has also halted his legal action against the club, after agreeing a settlement."

That quote from the bbc implies otherwise . If MM simply withdrew his claim I wouldn't call that a settlement .

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

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...
