http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25457024 Cardiff City: Malky Mackay told to quit or be sacked by Vincent Tan Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has been told by owner Vincent Tan to resign or he will be sacked. In a letter emailed to Mackay on Monday, it is understood Tan listed in depth his grievances with the Scot. Tan criticised 41-year-old Mackay at length in a range of areas, such as signings, transfer budgets, results on the pitch and style of play. The Malaysian businessman also questioned the former Watford manager's record as a boss. Mackay has previously said he will not resign. A Cardiff spokesman told BBC Sport: "The club is not party to any letter sent from one person to another." The correspondence came on the same day the Malaysian businessman issued a statement through Cardiff chief executive Simon Lim criticising Mackay. Tan said he was "extremely upset" after Mackay revealed he was hoping to recruit three new players in the January transfer window. The ex-Scotland international, who was named Cardiff boss in June 2011, led the Welsh club to promotion from the Championship seven months ago, but his future became uncertain when head of recruitment, Iain Moody, was removed from his position in October. Tan's concerns surrounds a perceived overspend of the transfer budget agreed between Mackay, Lim and Moody. Cardiff broke their transfer record three times over the summer, signing striker Andreas Cornelius for £7.5m, defender Steven Caulker for £8m and then midfielder Gary Medel for £11m. The owner claims the total budget was £35m and that £50m was spent including add-ons. Mackay and Moody have denied those claims, insisting the £35m was solely for transfer fees and that Lim and Tan had no complaints about that rising with add-ons.
What kind of scum ****** is this Tan anyway? Resign or be sacked? Er, I'll take being sacked with a ****load of bonuses thanks.
Lol, what a pointless email Errrmmmm...Let me think, resign giving you the easy way out, lose my pay, severence pay etc or get sacked, making sure I bleed you ignorant ****er for every penny I'm due because you are clearly insane. Dudes too use to being able to do it the Malay way . Sorry pal, can't just shoot your employees as a solution like you're used too.
I'm no lawyer and certainly don't specialise in Employment Law but isn't "quit or be sacked" Constructive Dismissal?
Me either but about as constructive as a dismissal gets lol. He dictated, "resign or die" but his secretary realised that wouldn't work here so changed it to fired.......
Feel for Cardiff but I think we will win 3-0. Having said that triumph under adversity. It worked for Hull.
Think it will depend, if Malaky is still there on Saturday the away fans will be loud and players bleeding for him. If gone? Might be a bit of disarray
Any guests reading this feel free to sign up. Only takes 5 mins and gets rid of all adds permanently. We're a good lot!
Yes matey! Thought I would make a change after stepping down as mod. Will be changing back though lol
Pre-Hull I would have said that with all these shenanigans at Cardiff we were almost destined to become the patsy. However, I think (hope) that Rodgers and the players have learnt from the Hull debacle. It's almost certain that they'll park the bus. So it may not be pretty but I think we'll win by a couple to zip!
Ta! Just felt like a change you know! We need more names with 'Rodgers' in it. Just think of the innuendo possibilities! !
It's a deal! Back on the game; I'm hoping Suarez keeps scoring and ultimately gets more than Spurs this year!
