    Was always going to happen IMO, the owner was just waiting for an excuse to come along.

    Beat me to it, was just about to post this. Truly beggars belief, first season in the EPL, doing ok-ish but slightly mad owner thinks he knows best.

    I hope Neil Lennon gets the job and takes them down the pan so he can disappear into the Championship and get ginger teeth away from the Scottish game.

    Good on McKay for standing his ground. He will walk away with his pockets full, his reputation intact and straight into another job.

    That's what happens when you sell your soul but not to rock and roll .If you are not one of the top six in premiership It's hard to buy your way into that club Would love to know what Manchester City have spent on Transfer fees and wages in the last few years .Its obscene how rich individuals flout there wealth and power and fans and managers are powerless at the end of the day .

    Only a matter of time.

    I'm sure Mackay will be in another job within the next couple of months.

    Hope Cardiff go down.

    I hope West Ham tell big Sam it's also time up and they go for Mackay. Can't believe he's still in a job with his shocking football and poor results. He's not a modern manager in fact he's pish poor. Boring crap football. Hope to god he goes before I head down to watch them.

    If a club takes a guy's money, he's entitled to run things his way.

    The way results have been going, it was only a matter of time before the fans turned on Mackay as well as Tan.

    But if you take as much money from a guy as Cardiff have taken from Tan, then that guy will assume he has the right to run things as he sees fit. Clubs and their fans have always been at the mercy of their owners; nowadays the rewards and penalties are so big, though, the game's become that much more ruthless.

    Anyway, I remember Malky when he was a big turnip of a centre-half for Celtic. NOT my favourite player by a long, long way.

    Phil Brown early favourite for the job, due to his experience of managing at that level with a crazy Tan

    Obviously it's going to be between McKay and Stevie Clarke for the Hearts job.

    That's right. It's the way the cookie crumbles these days. Presumably the fans would rather the club was still in the Championship which they would be if it wasn't for this Tan.

    As for Mackay, he'll be turning his noble nose towards the bank on Monday.

    Cardiff could fall like a stone now and be back in the Championship next season anyhow. Will they say its been worth it then?

    FS's Bolton played fitba several degrees more eye-bleedingly than even Pulis's Stoke.

    Don't think you'd want to let him loose inside a supermarket. More likely to eat the shelves than fill them.

    Cardiff's owner is a perfect example of what is wrong with elite clubs in the UK. In the door five minutes and he changes the the club colours. Can you imagine the overspill on this site if that happened here?

    The thought of some rich, foreign douche bag coming in and buying us and then changing our home kit to red/blue or changing our name to the Hibernian Hippos makes me ill. These clowns can keep their money as far as I'm concerned

    Reminds me of when Megson got the job at Bolton. Started well and the fans used to sing Ginger Mourinho

    Seen a post on twitter that the Cardiff fans are planning a walkout at tomorrows game. In full support of Cardiff and Hull fans in their protest against the dictator owners they have landed. Guys like Tan and Allam are ruining football. AMF
