Wow. How a person can build up a reputation and have it all blown away in 5 minutes. His career is done.

As for the LMA response, it was simply pathetic and frankly disgusting.

Having read the texts I think it is a big fuss about very little, not the cleverest texts to send but they were to a friend and were never meant to be seen by anyone else.

Why would someone at Cardiff decide to go through all the texts sent, 10,000 going by what has been reports, and how did they get all those texts ?

Before reading the texts I assumed they were simply jokes being passed around.

Having read the texts (presumably sent on a Cardiff City owned mobile phone), I have no sympathy for him.

Man's a fool.

Terrible response by LMA, it is amazing how such well paid people manage to shame the game.

I actually think the LMA's response have probably done him more harm..
I suspect more revelations will be out soon.. No sympathy for him.. What a fool & to dismiss what is said as banter was shocking!! Career suicide me thinks!!

What, and that makes it all right does it? I think the fuss is warranted, not a pleasant character if that's what he says in his private life. I for one hope he never gets a job in football again.

Looking past the fact that this all broke as almost certainly as a vendetta by Vincent Tan, I have just seen an interview this morning by Mackay where he says he is not a racist.

I am sorry but you aired privately probably something you would never dare say publicly, is simply a reflection of your personal thoughts and feelings. What he said wasn't even said in a the context of a joke - not that it would have lessened the impact of the words. His PR mission this morning to come across as an honest decent guy was a thinly veiled attempt to rebuild his future prospects as a football manager in a highly lucrative sport. Plain and simple.

If the the texts were sent to a 'mate', then how how are they now public?
Said 'mate' would now be receiving a visit!

"I am not a racist"

No, Malky, you are a racist. You're only sorry because you have been caught, not because you did it in the first place.

My understanding is someone at Cardiff FC read through 10,000 texts sent from or to McKay's phone, and found three texts which have offensive (to some) content.

The question how did they become public is a very good one.

For me yes it does.

He may or may not be an unpleasant character, I have never met him, but have you never said something to a mate which an outsider might find offensive ?

Of course Tan had a vendetta, have you seen what Mackay and Moody called him? I think he's entirely within his rights to blow his career up.

Just an unbelievable story.

Alledged

Private texts to friends?

How did they have access to these? Personal or work mobile?

Offensive? Maybe. Racist? Never.

Nothing you send on a work owned mobile is private

He sent racist and offensive texts on a work mobile. That makes him stupid as well as probably racist/homophobic/sexist.
