I think the one thing that makes the difference is glaring to all of us...

 

Well it hardly needs said.

Well it hardly needs said.

 

Absolutely. Not in the year 2016.

[the gunslinger 3,366]

The guy sounds like an utter rodent.

 

On the arrival of South Korean international Kim Bo-Kyung:

 

'Fkn chinkys. Fk it. There's enough dogs in Cardiff for us all to go around.'

 

On Phil Smith, football agent:

 

'Go on, fat Phil. Nothing like a Jew that sees money slipping through his fingers'

 

On a list of transfer targets:

 

'Not many white faces amongst that lot but worth considering.'

 

On a player's female agent:

 

'I hope she's looking after your needs. I bet you'd love a bounce on her falsies.'

 

On an official at another club:

 

'He's a snake, a gay snake. Not to be trusted'

 

...and sent to members of Cardiff's staff

 

A picture entitled Black Monopoly - where every square was a "Go to Jail" square

Deep rooted racism etc. Absolutely horrible.

If MacKay gets appointed I presume Scottish football won't be having any more SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD campaigns or such like ever again?

 

Scottish football & the SFA's credibility is at stake here

Can you imagine the sfa charging a player with racism after this.

 

You would just refuse to turn up or accept any punishment.

 

Laughable

Cardiff go after Malky Mackay for £10m 'transfer plot' ahead of his appointment by the Scottish FA*

 

Cardiff City are pursuing a High Court claim for almost £10million in damages against Malky Mackay, Iain Moody and three of the most powerful agents in the game.

The Welsh club have launched a claim of dishonest conspiracy with regard to two transfers against Mackay, their former director of football Moody and agents David Manasseh, Rob Segal and John Inglis.

The move comes with Mackay expected to be unveiled as the Scottish Football Association’s technical director on Thursday.*

 

Cardiff are due in the High Court on Thursday in a bid to have the case heard in the public arena after lawyers representing the agents pushed for a behind-closed-doors FA tribunal which would avoid public scrutiny.

The situation highlights one of the most contentious issues in the English game, whereby agents and other members of the football community can use private arbitration for disputes without incurring any public reputational damage. This newspaper knows of at least one top agent whose clients are unaware he was forced to pay significant damages to another player.

Mackay, Moody and the agents involved in this case have consistently denied any wrongdoing since Sportsmail revealed Cardiff were investigating eight transfers from 2013, when Mackay was their manager and Moody was in charge of player recruitment. The investigation, which has so far cost Cardiff owner Vincent Tan more than £1m and has been led by a team of lawyers from Mishcon De Reya for almost three years, is ongoing but Thursday's hearing will focus on Steven Caulker’s £8.5m transfer from Tottenham to Cardiff in July 2013 and Peter Odemwingie’s £2.5m move from West Brom to the Welsh club two months later.

In the Odemwingie deal, Segal was the player’s agent with Manasseh on official documents as the club’s agent, with a fee of almost £300,000 due to Manasseh, who is perhaps most famous for negotiating Gareth Bale’s record-breaking £85m transfer to Real Madrid.

 

But Cardiff claim they are unable to find any evidence of Manasseh’s involvement in the deal, other than the fact he appeared on the AG1 Agent Declaration form submitted by Segal. The club’s concern was heightened by the fact Manasseh was in Spain overseeing Bale’s move to Real Madrid on the day the Odemwingie transfer was completed.

Manasseh, who declined to comment on Wednesday night, was named as the player’s agent in the Caulker deal, and was also named in documents with Inglis as the club’s agents.

Inglis, a Scottish former footballer now operating as an agent in Bulgaria, was to receive more than £700,000 for his involvement but, again, the club can find no evidence of him working on the deal.

 

Cardiff claim all five men conspired together to defraud the club in both transfers, and hold Mackay and Moody responsible as two principal officers of the club overseeing transfer business.

After leaving Cardiff, Mackay and Moody almost rejoined forces at Crystal Palace in 2014, but Sportsmail revealed an exchange of racist, sexist and homophobic messages that forced Moody to resign and persuaded Palace not to appoint Mackay.

Moody is now working at League Two strugglers Colchester United, while Mackay is hoping to return to the game with the SFA in what will be his first job in football since his controversial appointment, and disastrous spell, at Wigan Athletic in 2014-15.**

This appointment, already looking like one of the SFA's smartest moves ever, now, on a daily basis, demonstrates the depth of its wisdom.

I was actually a little taken aback by his comments. I know the libtards wouldn't like me saying this, but genuine racism such as this is IMO rather rare these days, at least in the UK. You can feel the venom in one or two of those texts. You wonder what his problem is.

 

As for the SFA, it's almost too depressing to bother commenting any more. Incompetence is one thing, but I actually find them a distasteful organisation.
