Cardiff City made the following statement earlier today.
"The Board of Directors at Cardiff City Football Club have today relieved Malky Mackay of his duties. A new first-team manager will be appointed and announced in due course."
Once the initial shockwave had passed the owner made his statement saying: "There has been a good deal of publicity generated by and about Mr Malky Mackay over the last few months.
"Indeed far too much dirty linen has been exposed to the public gaze. But, I stress, not by me. Indeed, I have deliberately not responded to this, hoping that the Club can be judged on its football rather than personalised arguments about who said what to whom.
"I have, however, regretfully concluded that it is no longer fair to the Club, its players, its fans, or the public more generally, for this uncomfortable state of affairs to continue. Cardiff City Football Club means far too much to us all for it to be distracted by this."
Tan obviously thinking he's in the right and it's Mackay who has brought this to the public eye.
The search is now on for the new manager of Cardiff City FC.
Jason Perry
“How are Cardiff City going to pick the next manager? What will the criteria be?
“The owner of Cardiff City does not understand football and the board doesn’t understand the role of the manager and the job he does. Otherwise they would see that Malky Mackay was doing a very good job.
Michael Owen
“I guess it was inevitable that Malky Mackay has finally been sacked. A real shame after doing such a great job at Cardiff City.”
Gary Linekar
“Malky Mackay has finally been put out of his misery and sacked by Cardiff. Wouldn’t be surprised if West Brom have been lying in wait"
