Right ok, so pointing out factual inaccuracies in the BBC claims is burying my head in the sand. I presume the media reports about Laudrup/Jenkins in summer must have been 100% true, you guys all burying your heads in the sand too? Mackay may be sacked, he may not be. Nobody knows at this point in time. If the BBC have been wrong on fundamental things, it may well be the email rumour was leaked by Mackay to force a firing. Again, who knows? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Again some of it would have been true, some not, some half true. The club dealt with it quite well and we moved on. The same will be true for your club and misinformation will be flying around the place.

I disregard things from reporters with specific agendas. Let's be honest, the media story is that Mackay is a salt of the earth working class guy that is a legend of a manager whilst Tan the evil foreigner stroking a white cat. Life isn't as clear cut as that. Mackay may become a top manager but has a lot of work to do to get to that level. BBC almost demonising Tan for questioning some of the transfers when I can list around 10m+ of transfers that turn out to be failures is silly. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

It's not just the BBC attacking Tan. The entire footballing world is attacking him because he's completely nuts. His ego and poor business sense is ruining the footballing side of your club and the media has naturally sided with the level headed football manager caught in the middle of this. I have no doubt that malky will be spinning the media and feeding them information to help his case but given the situation can you blame him? | ![](/images/avatars/9617.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The stories this week have stemmed from the BBC though. Poor business sense? With some of the transfers in over recent seasons under Mackay - Velikonja, anyone? - I'd say Tan has a modicum of business sense to question the transfer policy of recent season. I can count around 10m of failed transfers the Mackay regime have been involved in. If Mackay's camp is spinning this then I don't see how he can be any better than Tan? Since that spinning is hurting the club. Rodgers attacks Tan. The email "leak" then occurs - and I very much doubt the BBC saw any such email. That's triggered by one side, which the whole narrative has sprung from. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Tan tells Mackay - on 18:40 - Dec 20 with 1296 views | reddythered | Love Rob Phillips backtracking on BBC Welsh news. People were convinced Malky would be fired today... because HE spread a false rumour ("I understand") that Mackay had not taken training. Now the "afternoon board meeting" has become an evening meeting between Tan, Dalman and Mackay. In London. Mackay flew to Liverpool this afternoon with the squad. So, since Tan is in for the game tomorrow, BBC claim Mackay flew to Liverpool, will fly to London, then fly back to Liverpool. Tan, Dalman fly to London then to Liverpool. At least, that's the logical interpretation of the meeting claim. Not very clever from a logistics point of view. EDIT: And look at Radio Wales. Their "Dalman has manager lined up, currently in job in the UK" has become "Dalman has manager lined up, currently working outside UK". As in, look at latest odds and make s**t up.

Tan could wait for Malky to lose tomorrow then spin it as poor results. Would have been utter madness to sack him a day before a game. I'm guessing Malky thought that he would have got the boot today for what's happened and thats where the BBC got their stories. Still tomorrow is probably his last game in charge. If he wins it could be awkward for the board and possibly even himself if he's trying to convince the board to sack him. | ![](/images/avatars/9617.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Mate I couldnt give two fks either way. Whats excruciating is watching you trying to micromanage every single persons opinion on here who might be laughing at something that might or might not be happening. Your argument also works against you. Everything you have posted is also an assumption. If I were you I would be making the most of the last days of my football club somewhere other than the website of my fiercest rivals, ALL of whom are laughing at your attempts to pretend that all is well. | ![](/images/avatars/9093.gif) |

I think a lot depends on the result tomorrow. If Cardiff manage to get a good result, then Tan is going to look stupid, but if Cardiff get battered then Tan can claim he is justified in kicking MacKay out. | ![](/images/avatars/9212.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
