Whiffle - if you think what those Swansea posters write on here is driven by some idealistic stance rather than an obvious chance to have a go at our club, you're talking drivel. I suspect the fact is you're just using them to support the anti-Tan crusade irrespective of the facts. Tan always said the truth would come out, and whether it were now or later, Malky and Moody were going to get burned at some point. Vince has taken the flak through this whole affair whilst the Malky luvvies have fawned over a hard done by Mackay and Moody like sychophantic trolls. As far as I'm concerned, Vince can take them all the way and drive these influential rascist/homophobic and maybe even bent people out of the game through releasing information such as this into the public domain. There's been enough support on here for whistle blowers in the political arena - let's hope that Tan and the club get similar support for their efforts in revealing what is really going on in the sport instead of being reviled because he changed a colour.
Sorry guys...take it all back. IF stories in D. Mail true then I've misjudged the bloke. I'll reserve further comments until truth comes out. Please accept my apologies. Still not sure of 'facts, though Sparky. Allegations yes, facts no.
No probs Whiffle - let's all sit back and take a raincheck on this latest stuff. We all have our opinions and yes, these are allegations and not "proven facts" (yet), but I doubt Tan will have invented them.
Well I am astounded at the allegations and if true I hope both get the appropriate punishment. I was dissapointed at MM continuing his public quarrel after Tan backed down. I thought he was either incredibly stupid or was orchestrating his dismissal. I now believe he is incredibly stupid.
Now this really is a can of worms. If true, and I'm afraid I suspect it is (lets not start calling the Telegraph a rag with a vendetta against the club, shall we), it is not only incredibly disappointing, but throws a whole new light on the last year or so. I suspect there will be a few comments left when I return to this page. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...Association-over-sexist-and-racist-texts.html
The way I see it is that a firm hired by Tan got a search warrant for Moody's house re transfer funds. This search found 100's of emails and text messages with racist, homophobic and sexist material. The league rules state that all member clubs must report such things. Cardiff City done this and were asked to compile a dossier this was sent to the authorities over 2 weeks ago (before Pulis left) After reading this dossier and Malky half in the door it was thought that palace should be told. I'm not saying this is gospel but only the way I see it.
You mean as well as possibly being rascist, homophobic and bent? (I did say "possibly") I think Malky believed such was the devotion of the fans toward him that he was untouchable - Tan eventually showed him otherwise. At the club Malky was dominant in all matters, even with the budget he was given subject only to the control of limp-wristed Simon Lim who he used as like rubber stamp for his (Moody's?) dealings.
Can only comment on the stupid assertion as that was all I could deduce from his actions at the time.
Will he ever get another job in light of these revelations? I've got no time for racism or homophobia, the texts are quotes so must be accurate. Time for a few to cut Tan some serious slack over MM's dismissal.
Thinking about it there's always TV...... He'll be the next guy on the list when Andy Gray and Ron Atkinson are already booked up.......
Don't see how this is vengeance from Tan. If I had been racially abused by a former Manager I would want action taken as a player, employee who ever was offended. Tan has a responsibility as an owner to report these things to the FA, if any of this is true is defiantly not Tan's fault he's doing what any decent owner should do an protect other players from racism.
If these rumours in the Mirror are right about his comments inside the club, then no wonder CP didn't want him. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...st-homophobic-text-messages-time-Cardiff.html
A detailed report has been handed to the FA not rumours, The Daily Mail have printed so many libellous things that if they are just rumours they can be sued for millions. We just have to wait for it to play out now.
Get real guys and look at the timing. VT has been waiting for his moment and now has it whether the report went to the FA before Pulis left Palarse or not. Also, it is unconfirmed speculation that Pulis left over transfer issues. Neither side has said why he walked. A bit of a stretch I know but who's to say he was not made aware of Moody's indiscretions, didn't like what he heard and gave Parish a "him or me ultimatum? I am not saying VT is wrong - far from it, I totally endors the action he has taken. He has just bided his time for maximum effect and for it to be a lesson to others. Cardiff City is VT or hadn't you noticed - £150m of investment and the rebrand I think covers that.
BFB Why then was Milky not offered the Norwich job ? That job was made for him being an ex player and legend at the club. There were no reports about Milky at that time and he was still held in high esteem by most of the media and fans of this club.
Eldon, it is hard to say this without appearing racist but it is a term generally used as a figure of speech to indicate things said privately and behind closed doors which nevertheless can have an influence on decision making - "Chinese whispers". We don't know what rumours circulated but maybe this opens up a picture for us? I thought Malky was a bolt on for both Norwich and/or West Ham although Sam still has that job at present. It was a surprise to me that he did not get Norwich which appeared a good fit for him.
