Would the one-sided media portrayal have been the same if it wasn't a foreign owner sacking a British manager? Don't think so.
Malky Mackay | Sacked by Wigan Athletic

Can't see tweets on this device. What's the gist of the messages on the time line?
Oxford away a young Somali boy was at the gates and Malky shouted look at that black Somali kid at the gates, look it's ibby brother
Cheers guys.
He'd fit in well in Russia. Zenit fans would love him.
Am I alone in thinking that when Tan said the British press is a bit racist, that maybe xenophobic might have been a better word to use?
Geez even Tan talks of value for money hahah
For a club like Cardiff its important imo, you can't spend 8 million on a striker that scores no goals or overspend your budget. Tan came across very well in that interview imo, and if all that has come out about Malky Makay is true, then he was right in his judgement to sack Mackay. Although he could have used a different word, they all mean the same thing though.
Wow, shocking that. I thought Tan was a nutter but he seems like he was put in a horrid position with Mackay. The jersey thing is still a bit weird but meh
I was being facetious with the value for money thing. I agree Tan came across well in the interview though.
At the time the issue was Mackay was thought to have done very well at the club and the supporters didn't want him sacked.. the media will always play to the crowd, good for sales/ratings.
But Bloody hell. Have we just been transported back 40 years with those racist, homophobic, sexist texts ?
Jail time on the cards here. Those 'payments to agents not involved in the transfers' is going to nail them to the flagpole.
To be fair you know, he doesn't sound like a prick. He actually sounds quite intelligent and comes across well.
Just got caught up on all this. Pretty disgraceful stuff. I was one who defended him after he lost his job, regret that now. Hope he never works in football again.
Disgusting.
If these allegations turn out to be true, then it's eye-opening that someone with such views could advance so far in the game.
I don't think all his buddies on Soccer Saturday will be rushing to suggest he takes over at any clubs after that has come out.
Always came across as a-bit of a smug prick but this is pretty serious stuff. What a pair of tossers.
WOW if the stories are true, hard to see him ever being a manager again, more that that hard to see how he can even work on Sky or any TV station has a pundit again.
Allegations of homophobic & racist texts, cant see any TV/Radio station wanting anything to do with him.

He'll be standing as a UKIP candidate soon. Disgusting stuff. I am really shocked.
At the time of his sacking everyone was going crazy. Malky was milking it to the press how the owner is a nutter and literally everyone lapped it up. Tan's issue was the way he dressed and his previous history of changing the colour of the team logo painted him in a very bad light here. I remember how many were saying that Ole would be mad to work under guy but perhaps Ole got told the truth and so knew that this guy was nothing like his public image.
Mackay is an utter cnut. Quite shocked at it all, especially because of how he was portrayed before.

Malkay didn't hold back with those messages anyways that's for sure, it was a right across the board job with him. By right he shouldn't get a job in football ever again but he probably will in a year or two's time when it all dies down.
This is the standard of people running british football. Ignorant morons. They might not all be as racist, sexist or utterly vile as malkay but they're all about that bright. No wonder british football is such a mess.
Since the Palace stuff? It was blatant from the off really, the way he schmoozed the media and used them to break the sacking threat to get them on side before Tan could even do anything.
Wow. Truly disgusting.
Who would have thought this at the time of his sacking.

Here's hoping a number of players come forward now and truly sink him.
I bet a light bulb clicked for a number of those he's aimed 'playful' barbs at in the past with these messages and the full extent of what scum he is having come to light.
All jokes aside, even he can't get work in the UK again, his actions wouldn't limit him from getting another job in a country like Russia or even the lower leagues of Spain or Italy.

Totally exonerates Tan now. Wow, what a scumbag.
I wonder what Cardiff fans are thinking about this now? The fuss they made when MacKay was sacked.
Fair enough if you called it when he got sacked, I'd suggest you were in a minority that did. The majority of people felt sorry for him and were baffled Ole would go there.
He'd be lucky to get a job for a few years after this, if he does it will be the lower leagues and working his way up. A Premier League club won't touch him at the moment.

Tan has evil geniused so well here. Made him issue a grovelling public apology, destroyed his career anyway. Good riddance
Surely Ian Moody's job must be under threat at Palace as well?
Look at the tweet a few posts up.
Well I would say I was baffled that Ole went there, because it seemed like a difficult place to manage. I did think Malky played the media and that there was more to the sacking than met the eye, or I thought breaking the designated transfer budget was reason enough to sack him anyway.
Sounds like the guy lived on sikipedia.That is jaw droppingly disgusting.
Thanks. Serve him right.
At least Cardiff now have a decent human being as their manager.
