Next Albion manager, me thinks.

[Stephen_G]

AVB was the rumour earlier today, tone.

[DaisyNonna]

Mackay has been shabbily treated.

[DTCwordfan]

Man United me thinks.

AVB was the rumour earlier today, tone.

Yeah, I heard that to, Don't know if they could afford him though, Stephen.

Man United me thinks.

Interesting if that should happen, DT.

And yes I agree, Daisy. Very shabbily treated imo.

[jeffa]

Par for the course these days. If in doubt, sack the manager.

[Stephen_G]

Regardless of the outcome, who in their right mind would park their bum in the hotseat, knowing full well that there's no money available in January, to strengthen the team? Or, will the Owner put his hand down the back of the sofa and see what he dredges up?

[tonyav]

Yep, sounds like the new manager ( who ever that may be ) will be on a hiding to nothing.

[clivebeca]

Money Talks ... Mr Tan converted the 'Bluebirds' into the 'Red-Shirts'.
Without Malky, lets hope they don't turn into 'Red Herrings'.
Not sure what the Supporters Club can do, but I'm sure they are 100% behind Malky. Wales at present thoroughly deserves 2 teams in the Premiership.

[Canary42]

The RICH OWNERS are increasingly calling the shots - and FOOTBALL will suffer as a result.

[FredPuli43]

Rich, impulsive owner who knows nothing about football, throws weight about. Not news, nowadays. What happened to the Indian poultry people? Are they still around?

[Canary42]

If Norwich lose to Sunderland tomorrow, what are the chances of another managerial sacking, followed by Malky moving to manage a club where much of his playing success occurred ?

Remember, you saw it here first !

[jeffa]

I think there's every chance of Chris Hughton getting his marching orders if Norwich lose to the team currently bottom of the premier league and odds-on for relegation. Chris Hughton is no stranger to this, as Mike Ashley can attest.

I'm sure every true-yellow Canary would welcome Malky with open arms. Wasn't he voted second only to Gary Holt in the Norwich old boys?

[Arksided]

He has being treated shabbily, he'd be a fool just to walk.

[Stephen_G]

Mackay sent one of his Assistants, David Kerslake to do the Liverpool pre-match press conference. All the journos were asking questions about Malky and what is going on between him and Vincent Tan - he flat out refused to speak about anything going on behind the scenes.

Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterill was outside Cardiff International Airport, waiting for the team bus to arrive, to see if Malky was on it. They weren't even sure if they were going to fly up to Merseyside, or whether they would have gone up on the bus and saved getting hammered by the Press (Cardiff's flight wasn't due to take off until 3:00 p.m. and they would have had an express check-in, and maybe arrived by another entrance to the Airport).

[clivebeca]

Malky was definitely at the Airport, walking to Departures with a mobile to his ear. Reporter [itn] said he was leaving with the team, and still in charge until tomorrow. Tan expected to give a press conference in London, prior to the match v's Liverpool [Anfield]. How unsettling is that.

Great to see the Supporters Club are fully behind Malky. Am not a dedicated follower, and now live too far away. But would seriously suggest that if he carries out his threat to sack Malky; that at the next Home match [Cardiff City Stadium], that all the Supporters Club usual attendees, boycott the match in protest.

[Stephen_G]

Couldn't agree more, clive. Pity Vincent Tan won't give a t0ss.....

[tonyav]

I believe that Malky say's that he isn't going to resign.
