Malky Mackay embroiled in racist/homophobic scandal

[VAVAVOOM 14]

Allegedly texts/emails have been found containing some truly disgusting sentiments:

Nailed on favorite for the next coaching vacancy in Italy, I'd say.

No one claims that everyone in football is "PC", but these comments are out of the 1970's, and there were more detailed in other papers.

What's really racist is the way that the media and everyone within football have sided with Mackay against the 'shifty, inscrutable Bond-villain' Tan without knowing any real facts behind his sacking. From the moment MM withdrew his £7.5m legal claim against Tan and apologised unreservadly it seemed obvious that Tan must have evidence of misconduct.

If any of that is true,then he is finished.

If you are going to be the bloke in the pub,then don't put it down in text form that can be reproduced as evidence. Don't send it out to people you wouldn't trust with your life. Finally do not have this conversation beyond the confines of your own home.

His language isn't un-PC. It's racist,misogynistic and homophobic.

It's the kind of conversation that goes on in offices/building sites/the City when the black fella is out to lunch or the fairy in accounting is off having cock sandwich for lunch or the tart in admin with big jugs is getting the sarnies. I've worked in 2 of those environments so I know what I am talking about.

His biggest mistake was not being discreet about it.

He'll get the book thrown at him. He'll apologise, say he'll get counselling and rebuild his career. In 5yrs time Richard Keys will interview him and we'll be told it's time to move on.

He is no different from John Terry, the same Terry that almost every outlet fell over themselves to try and get Hodgson to bring back for the WC.

[SPUDMASHER]

don't think he'll work again at any decent level after that.

But if you were all honest, I bet you've all said things like that before.

[northbank123]

Hilarious. Not least because of how fucking stupid he is.

[Perryashburtongroves]

There's a reason why people like Tan run football clubs and businesses and why imbeciles like Makay are out of work.

[Bradywasking]

Think this is a massive story that will be nothing in a few months. If you want to play Jack the Lad, don't leave evidence hanging around.

[Arsenal Till I Die]

I quite liked Mackay as a manager. He seemed pretty good with mediocre and looked like he could eventually get a Newcastle level club but he has officially ruined it all.

The bounce on her falsies bit made me laugh

Surely he cannot be that stupid though?

[RoscommonGooner]

While Mackays alleged comments are racist and homophobic isn't it laughable that they are uncovered by the Daily Mail above all "newspapers". As someone commented on Twitter said he's probably in line for the editors job at that rag.

On the other hand Moody and Mackay have the possibility of becoming UKIP MPs

[officepest]

What a fucking moron, I see Moody's gone now too.

I suppose they could both hook up with Ron Atkinson and form UnPC Utd - whites only football club.

I don't think you can justifiably claim that Mr Tan's reason for the Mackay sacking was down to knowing about these comments. Otherwise surely the chairman would have come out with it at the time and avoided a lot of the vilification he has received. Indeed, I remember one of the reasons given was that he thought Makay over-spent on playeers / didn't use his transfer budget well. It was a considered a mad decision at the time and should still be thought as such, especially given Cardiff's subsequent relegation.
