Can't see any premiership club touching him with bargepole for quite a while.

Vile man, hope he never works in football again.

There is obviously still a lot of work to do with these racist homophobic dinosaurs.

jazzydrury3 · 21/08/14 - 09:12

If that is true what a way to ruin your career.

I say if it is true, cause we all no what the Daily Mail is like

The_don1 · 21/08/14 - 09:13

How do you know about his personal hygiene?

grimtales1 · 21/08/14 - 09:27

If that's true, then it's vile :mad:

Jason · 21/08/14 - 09:30

IF it's true. Considering the fued he's seemingly had with Tan, this needs to be taken with a massive pinch of salt.

If it does turn out to be true then he certainly shouldn't work in football again.

jazzydrury3 · 21/08/14 - 09:37

If this is Tams doing, couldn't it place him in a load of trouble.

Bringing him down, this could ruin Malky whatever has gone on.

I quite like Ole, but if I was him I would get out of Cardiff

Well well well...

Absolutely. If the "evidence" he claims to have has been exaggerated or doctored in any way then I imagine Mackay could take him to the cleaners.

I guess the proof of the pudding will be if Mackay subsequently admits it and tries the usual trick that goes on a lot in the US of going in to some kind of "rehab" to "educate" himself and change his views.

Either way, as I said, if it is true then he certainly shouldn't work in football ever again, in any capacity.

I feel sorry for Palace fans though as it'll likely mean they'll end up with Tim Sherwood ..

I think it's telling that he had a lawsuit against him and then suddenly dropped it with a kiss-arse statement.

Yeah, that's true. Maybe he was made aware of the investigation and the fact that they had these text messages ?

I'm still taking it with a pinch of salt until there's something a bit more definitive, but it doesn't look good.

Could be looking at a prison sentence if these allegations are true

I know of lots of players that have been to jail, but I can't think of a manager

Erythroleukos · 21/08/14 - 11:03

Whats the charge for sending them to prison?

BigDaveX · 21/08/14 - 11:15

According to the BBC, Moody's about to resign from Palace, so there's apparently some truth to the allegations.

As for criminal charges, from what I understand it's technically not illegal to use prejudicial slurs in private communications between two individuals. The only way they'd be charged with anything would be if it proved they'd discriminated against one or more employees, and even then that'd probably be a civil matter more than a criminal one.

I was thinking more about what seems to have been hinted at with the transfers/agents more than the racist stuff

That , if true, would be a custodial sentence

BelfastGuy125 · 21/08/14 - 11:39

If there was any justice he would never work again. Disgusting remarks. Someone on the street who said those things (allegedly) would be jailed.

I think that would need someone to report the crime or make a complaint to the police.

I dont think they would go that far as I am pretty sure the sort of things goes on during quite a few transfers.

I thought they had or were about to

From the link in the OP

Law firm had warrant due to investigation over his wrongdoing in Cardiff transfer activity

(I realise it's the Mail but nothing seems to have been denied or retracted )

BelfastGuy125 · 21/08/14 - 12:02

BTW Iain Moody has just resigned from his position at Palace.

Vincent Tan has already made complaints about what happened to his money in the transfer market. That's what's opened this can of worms.

poor vincent tan, whole country turned on him and backed the british manager.

Some of the media, MOTD pundits etc etc owe him a massive apology.

I suppose it does shed some new light on his decision to suspend Ian Moody and his attitude towards Mackay.

correct me if i am wrong but didnt tan release a statement saying there would come a time when mckay was not seen as a hero anymore?

p.s hes still wrong to change club colours!

Bosox · 21/08/14 - 12:17

As I said in the Palace thread last night I think we might owe Vincent Tan a collective apology. He received an absolute kicking in the press and everywhere else over getting rid of Mackay (and Moody) but now we are seeing what was going on behind the scenes.

Part of it is the culture of football, Someone like Mackay is seen as a "proper" football person and Vincent Tan is portrayed as the evil foreign owner.

The "sports" media also have to take some of the blame, They have got very lazy in their reporting of football in general. They go for the cheap headlines to pander to the masses.

Once Tan came out with some of his comments and the way the legal action was dropped should have set off bells but no the media continuted to make out Tan is some Bond Baddie
