so do we think there will be a second approach? would the board be prepared to up the compo bid of 600k? for what its worth 800k-1m and i think you would get him.

I think there will definitely be another approach from the board.

This could be a long afternoon.

Agree on both points. I don't think anyone for a second thinks that that is it as far as an approach for Mackay is concerned !

Maybe it's me but even tho he is my first choice 600 seem a lot. I wouldnt want to pay much more.

If MM states he wants to leave, or even quits, and then starts talking to CCFC, then we will have another Brum v Villa battle of our own!

been told there if a few small issues that will be resolved and he will be named the new manager. Watford are just holding out for more money, and who can blame them :ayatollah:

as stated elsewhere i expect we are holding out for 800k compo.

However, as posted in another thread - If MM actually APPROACHED cardiff himself, then who is in breach of the rules? or his contract? .............. ;)

NEWS FROM WATFORD OWNER BASSINI on the official site

he rejected the approach this morning and has mentioned that mackay committed his future to us for three years earlier the year. he is going to consult chairman graham taylor and the other board members this afternoon, presumably for advice on how to proceed.

sounds to me like they are having a crunch meeting to see whether they should decide to let him go OR convince malky to stay by backing him more for the new season.

Hopefully it's the latter. Maybe by throwing an extra tenner into the transfer kitty Malky might stay.....

Graham Taylor been quoted as saying it could take days to decide and asking Cardiff to "hold fire", as I said earlier, the deal is done £400k compensation, You are now looking at replacements. :ayatollah:

I cant see us splashing out that much compo to watford for Malky with the reported 800k we could get a top manager think of it like this ,800K / 1 MIL compo and wages of say 350k =around 1.3 mill ish.

We could get a big name manager for around that couldn't we ?

What about Hughes then ?

I got a feeling that we are in for more twists and turns yet but how long will we have to wait to find out who the new man is,could go on for days again but I hope not.

If it is MALKY then the 800K OR SO has to be much lower. ;)
