Former Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay has vowed to fight the shocking allegations facing him in the wake of the Bluebirds dossier that accuses him and Iain Moody of sending "racist, sexist and homophobic" text messages.
Mackay is reeling from 24 hours of shock revelations as the Football Association begin a probe into his conduct during his time at the Bluebirds.
The Scot's Agent, Raymond Sparkes , is tonight reported as telling Sky Sports News Mackay will be challenging the allegations, with a fuller statement expected later on Thursday.
The Bluebirds hierarchy have taken action, in the form of a detailed dossier, under laws E3.1 and E3.2 in the FA’s own rulebook, which come under a general heading of Conduct.
It follows a seven-month investigation by top London law firm Mishcon de Reya into the work done by Mackay and Moody during their two and a half years at the helm with Cardiff.
The promotion-winning Bluebirds manager and his trusted No2 Moody are the subject of a top-level FA investigation over claims “sexist, racist and homophobic” messages were sent.
