Wigan manager Malky Mackay is attempting to sign South Korea winger Kim Bo-kyung, who was released by Cardiff last month.
Kim worked with Mackay at the South Wales club before the manager was sacked by Malaysian owner Vincent Tan in December 2013 amid a storm of racist, sexist, anti-semitic and homophobic text messages in which he was implicated.
The Football Association are still investigating the messages retrieved when files were seized from Iain Moody, Cardiff’s former sporting director, who resigned from his position at Crystal Palace when Sportsmail revealed the scandal in April 2014.

Among them were the use of the term ‘chinkys’ — in direct reference to the arrival of Kim — and a joke about Koreans eating dogs. The situation got worse when Wigan chairman Dave Whelan spoke about ‘chingalings’ as he defended his decision to appoint Mackay back in November.
Whelan, 78, was banned from football for six weeks and fined £50,000 by the FA after accepting a misconduct charge over his comments about Chinese and Jewish people, but did not carry out his threat to quit the game after the disciplinary commission were satisfied that he was not a racist.
Mackay came in for heavy criticism last year when the League Managers’ Association issued a statement describing the text messages as ‘friendly banter’, but the 42-year-old Scot later issued a full and unreserved apology.
It was reported last week that he is likely to be cleared by the FA, who are believed to have a policy of not being able to act on communications sent privately between two individuals.
Wigan, deep in the Championship’s relegation zone, sold Ben Watson, Shaun Maloney, Adam Forshaw and Callum McManaman during the January transfer window, which closed on Monday night.
Mackay signed Leon Clarke on loan from Wolves and Sheyi Ojo on loan from Liverpool, and also snapped up the Cameroon defender Gaeten Bong on a short-term deal. Kim, though, is available as a free agent. He joined Cardiff in 2012 from Cerezo Osaka in Japan and quickly established himself under Mackay as the Bluebirds won promotion to the Premier League at the end of his first season. Kim scored his first top-flight goal in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United in November 2013, but has appeared only twice in the Championship this season and had his contract cancelled by mutual consent on January 24.
The 25-year-old has won 30 caps for his country and was handed the No 7 shirt following the retirement of South Korea legend Park Ji-sung, but missed out on a place in the squad for the recent Asia Cup, in which they lost a thrilling final 2-1 to Australia in Sydney.
Brighton boss Chris Hughton has appointed Colin Calderwood as his assistant. The 50-year-old former Scotland defender was previously assistant to Hughton at Newcastle, Birmingham and Norwich. ‘We wanted to bring someone in of Colin’s experience,’ said Hughton.

I'm really sick of this. Malky (IMO) is NOT a racist. He said things which were racially insensitive - yes. But they were to his mate, and I genuinely just think it was innapropriate banter. Who can honestly say they've never told a racist joke? That doesn't make YOU a racist, it means you've told a dark joke. Problem is MM was in a position of responsibility and got caught for it.

According to reports, former Bluebirds boss Mackay wants to sign Kim Bo-kyung, released by Cardiff last month, for new club Wigan.
Mackay and former head of recruitment Moody were reported to the Football Association (FA) by Cardiff back in August over a string of alleged racist, sexist and homophobic text exchanges - one of which was said to centre on Kim.
There were alleged to have been derogatory remarks made about the 25-year-old and sent between the pair when Kim first signed for Cardiff when they were in charge in 2012.
The FA is still conducting its investigation into Mackay and Moody after files were seized from Moody who resigned from his post as sporting director at Crystal Palace in the wake of the affair.
Kim’s agent Lee Yeung-Joong responded to the claims about his client in August by saying he had never received unfair treatment from Mackay or Cardiff.

Unbelievable haha what more did u want from him, an fa cup maybe? European spot? We got a cup final, playoff final and a league title in two years but because he took too long to play noone (who by the way was still inconsistent in the year we went up and was injured was pre season and the start of the first few games) he's a crap manager!?

Would be a good move for Kim and the sort of player Wigan would want
Wed Feb 04, 2015 1:05 pm
Used correctly Kim is a good player.
In fairness to Kim he doesnt look like he knows where he is half the time. As for Malky, yes I think he is a racist and a bully. Hope Kim tells him where to go.

Yeah and some people have forgotten already Annis. The same people who blame us for having an agenda against tan have one against malky and will find any reason they can to play down his achievements. Why, I don't know.

Malky Mackay Is Trying To Sign A Player He Allegedly Racially Abused
By Daniel Bevan
04th Feb 2015
Wigan Athletic manager Malky Mackay attempting to sign Korean international Kim Bo-Kyung, a player he has been accused of racially abusing at Cardiff City just twelve months ago, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
Mackay was sacked in December 2013 by Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan after a series of racist, sexist, anti-semitic and homophobic text messages and emails were discovered on his phone.
These messages included comments about Kim Bo-Kyung and his agents with Mackay claiming there wasn't enough dos in Cardiff to go around.
Former Cardiff City sporting director Ian Moody was also implicated in the scandal and resigned from his position when it was revealed by Sportsmail in April.
To make matters worse, Wigan Chairman Dave Whelan made comments about ‘Chingalings’ and ‘kinky’s’ when defending Mackay after his appointment as Wigan manager which prompted the FA t ban Whelan from football for six weeks and fine him £50,000.
Criticism really came down on Mackay after the League Manager’s association released a statement labelling the comments as ‘friendly banter’.
Last week it was reported that both Moody and Mackay are likely to avoid charge after the FA have a policy of not being able to act on communications sent privately between two individuals.
Kim was released from Cardiff City last month and is now a free agent after making 58 appearances for the Bluebirds. He has made 30 appearances for South Korea and was even handed the no.7 shirt following the retirement of Korean Legend Park Ji-Sung.
