Malky Mackay...

Sat Oct 04, 2014 3:07 am

Vincent Tan said the only reason Malky got us to the Premier League was because of the money he put in, and anyone would have been able to get us promoted. I think that statement has been proved completely false, and shows just how clueless this idiot is when it comes to football. You cant just throw money at everything and expect miracles to happen.

The fact that Malky got us up with a worse squad than what we have now shows how good of a manager he really was. The whole racism issue aside,in terms of just football, Mackay still remains the best manager this club has ever had imo.

Would i take him back at the club now? In a heartbeat.

There is no way the new signings are am upgrade on the likes of Cowie, Mutch, Campbell, Conway, Super Kev, Hudds & Helgusson. They would batter this new crop of fancy dans.

I have said many times MM was the best manager we have had, made a mistake yes but we wouldn't be in this mess now if he was still here. Totally agree with your post MM disrespected Tan in that part of the world you can't do that.so MM no matter what he achieved Tan will never agree. Tan and his decisions have put us back 2 years

I'd rather go down that see Malky near this club.

Malky had it all IMO. Best manager we've had, adored by the fans, respected by Tan. Until everything came out then he did ruin it for himself. Which is a shame because I'm a massive fan of Malky and loved watching the team when he was at the club.

Malky was a quality manager, but he got too big for his boots and fucked Tan over. Malky cold have gone far in the game.Good ride nice I say , he was nothing more than a big headed racist. Such a shame really . Malky was going places.

Malky is just smart.
He created a strong dressing room ole has abused the harmony at the club by signing any
tom dick and harry regardless of their attitude.

We had discipline and shape under malky I think we did the best we could of done with the team we had.
it was mostly championship players bar 3 big star signings one which floppedwe also effectively lost craig bellamy

Best football manager we have had without exception.

An angel? Probably not - no one on here will ever really know the truth however much people like to think they know what is going on at the club.

But anyone that thinks football clubs are full of saints - from players, staff, coaches, directors - is living on planet numpty. It's a dirty industry, not condoning that, just telling it like it is.

Back to the question - I'd have Mackay back now.

Completely agree with OP. How many times have we seen teams with money thrown at them by clueless owners implode? MM without a doubt the best manager we have ever had and whatever the truth behind all the off field stuff, I would have him back in a breath. I'll fully back RS of course but I honestly don't think VT cares anymore. It appears that he's now too busy looking to buy further teams to increase his football team portfolio and willing to toss us aside like a spoit petulant child would do to a toy that its bored of.

Completely agree, Malky had a clear vision of how to put a squad together and what he expected from them, work ethic and togetherness was massive. His football might not have been everyones cup of tea but at the end of the day it was effective.

We couldn't possibly take Malky back after everything that has gone on but someone in a similar mould is what we are craving, the quality of our squad is there but it needs structure and leadership, the most disjointed squad I've ever witnessed, could be so promising. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

I don't want Malky back but I agree with the sentiment.

In his interview Tan told fans to try getting promotion without the money he provided for players. I think he will find out over the next few years how difficult it is to get promoted without a good manager. Hopefully it won't take forever but I am already convinced that Slade is not the right choice just like I was convinced from the start that Solskjaer was not the right choice. Hoping I am not right this time.

I hope he gets the Bolton job. That would really rub the salt in tans eyes.
As he wants to ruin malky.

malky was only an average manager at best, he was given pots money and waisted lots of it! we were going slowly down under his style of play, team spirit yes but like previous teams under him they were knackered in last quarter of season, if anyone liked his style of play they need head read! :roll:
ps how can someone who as been at club 18mnths be classed as the greatest??? just because got promoted to premier doesnt make him great, many clubs promoted dont class their manager as great!! so why malky???? :old:

Good point mate, complete bullshit. And when he said he had nothing against him, what a load of shit. I'm sick of hearing that guy talk crap. Just sell our club and go ruine someone else ASAP

I would rather have Malky than Tan :lol:

Re: Malky Mackay...

I personally had a fond experience of Malky when I met him. He did wonders for this club. However, his position was untenable after what he did and I wouldn't want him back. However, he's not one of a kind. There are other managers we could have got out there that would have a similar impact.

I feel sorry for Slade. He's been written off before he's come in. I will back him whilst he is our manager as I did with Solskjaer but right now it's fairly obvious that Tan is the problem. Putting all his decision-making eggs in one basket by always seeking counsel from one person instead of a group of people. He hasn't got a clue and it's shown for a while now.

We won't go down. I honestly believe we won't. We won't go back up though. Not unless something drastic changes.

not disputing what he done annis but 18mnths is not a basis to judge him the greatest ect ect , you cannot dispute either we were on slide down regardless of reasons (tan) with him, ole was a disaster which at the moment we are paying for but still think we will be promoted if slade can give players confidence in their ability which they have in abundance :thumbup:
