Mackay told to jump or be pushed

[Bassey the warrior]

Shambolic scenes at Cardiff. What horrendous treatment. With any luck this could save our season.

You have to feel for both the manager (who had them promoted at a canter) and the supporters at Cardiff. Brendan Rodgers summed it up pretty well the other day, they've got themselves into an extraordinary situation with Tan.

Makes you realise we struck the jackpot with Khan.

If he gets out quickly then Mackay might well find himself at West Brom, he's an excellent manager.

This chairman is nothing but a dictator. Premiership football or not their fans should have made a stand when he changed colour of home shirt. The beginning of the end started right there. Mackay wins either way here. If thats not constructive dismissal I don't know what is.

[Ichabod Magoo]

Mackay has a contract until the end of the season.  I assume if he resigns, he forfeits the rest of his money due.  If he's fired, he gets the money, so why quit.  I'd make the owner look like the buffoon he is and wait to get sacked.

This is a tragic step along a path that started a long time ago.

[The Bronsons]

Agreed, Ichabod. Unlike our ex-manager, who should have walked a month before he was pushed, Mackay is right to stay on and force Tan to demonstrate how petty he really is.

Cardiff could go down now. Who's going to come in and work for Tan? Ian Dowie? Tan's son's mate? Bye bye Bluebirds.

Yeah, Tan made him an amazing offer.  Resign and forfeit any money owed, or we'll fire you and have to compensate.  If you do the first it'll look like we mistreated you, if you do the latter it'll look like... we mistreated you.

I don't like to say this, but this news coming out of Cardiff is music to my ears.

Mackay has done an incredible job at Cardiff and done what no one else could do, get them to the top flight. And to see their chairman balls it up like he is doing can only give us hope that theres one more club thats going to be worse off than us.

You really do have to wonder if Tan knows anything about football. Like 'The Moose' said earlier, shambolic scenes for a premiership club.

This can only be good for Fulham, but I feel so sorry for mackay.... He is one of the top 3 managers this season for their respective clubs. Awful treatment, if he goes WBA will snap him up in a heartbeat

Certainly gone over this CSE grade 4 Maths Success. Anyway it is a shame two sides are so divided for an answer.

I think this could be a bad thing, if tan won't support mackay with money he definately support the new manager with funds and if they get players medel and caulker then they could pull away.

[Burt]

If Mackay does leave, it would be interesting to see who they manage to attract to replace him given what Tan has been up to there. He's a basket case, and I can't see any sane manager wanting to work for him.

100% correct

[epsomraver]

Most fans disliked the MJ statue but what could we have done about it really?

...Mackay the noo..!
