' LMA responds to statement from our club '

http://www.leaguemanagers.com/news/news-7358.html

The LMA has issued a release following a statement from Cardiff City Chief Executive Simon Lim which criticised the transfer policy of former manager Malky Mackay.

Richard Bevan, Chief Executive of the LMA, said:

"It is most unfortunate that Mr Lim has chosen to speak out in this way. Mr Lim is aware that there is a legal process under way between Malky Mackay and Cardiff City and it is both inappropriate and unprofessional for either party to be making public statements of this nature at this time. Given that Mr Lim has spoken out against Malky Mackay in relation to the acquisition of a player, however, it is only right that the record is put straight on the following two key issues. This is the same Mr Lim to whom, under the specific and express terms of Malky Mackay’s contract of employment with Cardiff City, Malky was obliged to report in respect of all matters pertaining to the transfer of players. This is the same Mr Lim who, when being asked more than once, upon dismissing Malky Mackay, why he was dismissing him, said that he did not know the reason.

"All football clubs at the elite level have systems in place for corporate governance. Cardiff City is no exception. A manager, even in the Premier League, does not go out and "sign" players. All recommendations go to his CEO and board, essentially the Chief Executive on the board's behalf - deals with all financial arrangements to finalise any signings."

It is not intended that any further statement will be issued by or on behalf of Malky Mackay at this stage, unless, of course, the Club continues to make wholly misleading public statements.

Makes Lim and Tan look silly........would of loved to have seen Lim face when Malky gives it to him

Tan leave our club alone and sell up

Lim is just a puppet. Those words sound like fat man tans

Exactly. Open cheque book my arse, Lim released the funds, every f*cking club/business has a CEO or higher in charge of procurement. Ok fair enough malky got it wrong on a few signings, but remember he built our whole squad bar a handful of players, every manager has had howlers even fergie's had more than a few. The money was the excuse they used to sack him, but if that was the case lim would have been cut. I smell BULLSHIT. f**k off tan

It's not about the money spent though its about what it was spent on.

SHIT players. Who were recommended to the board by the two people who got sacked.

Tan just thinks that he is still in Malaysia where he can pull the strings.

I really hope that Tan loses every cent that he has put into our club

The statement was uncalled for unneeded. Although it is the truth, needless.
