' Malky Malkys future uncertain. '

Future of Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay uncertain after backroom shakeup that triggers fears the club is heading for calamity.


Cardiff City today denied that the club’s owner Vincent Tan has asked manager Malky Mackay to resign, after the owner’s decision to replace the club’s head of recruitment with a 23-year-old friend of his son left the Scot’s future looking deeply uncertain.


Several sources have told The Independent that Tan asked Mackay to quit, during a tense meeting with senior members of club staff on Tuesday, and that the Scot – who is determined to carry on at the south Wales club - had categorically refused. But Mackay’s relationship with Tan, whose unusual perspective on football leads him to believe that Cardiff were promoted to the Premier League because of the “lucky red” strip he introduced, is now deeply damaged.

The Malaysian is understood to believe that Cardiff have overspent, should be in the Premier League top four and that their start to the season – which includes victory over Manchester City – is not good enough, after his own investment of £11m plus £70m in loans.

In the most extraordinary move yet of his controversial three-year tenure, Tan has replaced Iain Moody - the club’s head of recruitment, with whom Mackay first worked at Watford and to whom he is close, with 23-year-old Kazakhstani Alisher Apsalyamov. It is the clearest sign yet that the Welsh club’s ascent to the Premier League under the Malaysian may be heading towards calamity.

Apsalyamov, whose experience of football appears to be limited to computer games, attended the same Swiss finishing school as Tan’s own son. It is understood that his first job at the Premier League club entailed painting walls at the club’s stadium. But The Independent understands that he has also been shadowing Moody in the last six months, with the general impression being that Apsalyamov’s own father – a multi-millionaire – may be about to invest in a club where the 23-year-old might also play some kind of professional role.

If Malky leaves or gets sacked over this im done with supporting the club. The guy has everything you want in a manager. If he had been asked to leave and striaght refused that says a hell of a lot about the man. This is HIS squad and HE wants to move it forward, no matter who wants him to leave

I have been a massive fan of Vincent Tan until now and have supported him despite the rebrand. I dont want to comment on what has recently happened with Iain Moody until the club release a statement. I am however, gobsmacked at who we have replaced him with and because it was such a fast replacement it does make you think this was already lined up.

If the information from this article is true. Then Tan has to go.

So that's why this Kazakhstan has been brought in, his father is a multi millionnaire! Is this why Tan bought Borley's shares and is trying to buy everyone else out? Is Tan going to sell us to this Kazakhstan's multi millionnaire father? Do Kazakhstan's love the colour blue?

Tan out.

I think Tans trousers are a bit too tight around his chest, not getting enough oxygen to that brain of his

Tan out ? That's a bit like selling your house and then telling the new owner to leave

Perhaps Tan has decided to take a more active role in signing players and this young kid is gonna be his puppet..

Tan is not a multi - millionaire for nothing. A keen businessman who will run things his way to achieve success.

You honestly think Tan's decision of putting Moody on gardening leave and replacing him with his sons friend who was on work experience painting walls this summer is running things his way to achieve success? Deary me!

C'mon malky stay! You're still learning in the prem.

Supporting cardiff city is like being in an everlasting rollercoaster.

there is a reason why he has been suspended and I don't think it was just to be replaced by a youngster

Tan out. Blue back in.

Asked him to quit? Wtf? Well that puts a different complexion on things.

Don't worry. All will be ok because we're playing in our lucky red kit.

What a f*cking joke. Yes Tan has billions in the bank, but absolutely no football experience.

C'mon inner circle, tell us you agree with what's going on.

If Tan really asked him to quit then he's done. it's only a matter of time.

Tan is not a multi - millionaire for nothing. A keen businessman who will run things his way to achieve success.

You honestly think Tan's decision of putting Moody on gardening leave and replacing him with his sons friend who was on work experience painting walls this summer is running things his way to achieve success? Deary me!

And you think hed done it because hes stupid? You don't have a fcking clue why its been done? Tan has a reason and he will benefit from it at some point? how naive can you be to think hes put a painter in charge of multi million deals spending his money! Ffs get real!

I think the reason Tan's done it is to keep this Kazakhstan's multi millionnaire father sweet because Tan is currently trying to buy everyone out. He says he will own 98% of our club next month and I think that's because he wants to sell our club to the father for a profit while we are in the Premiership. I'm not saying Tan is stupid, as usual, it's a move to benefit himself, but not our football club. This is just my opinion and whether this actually happens in the future remains to be seen. But anyone thinking this move will actually benefit our football club in the future must be absolutely bonkers!
