Malky Mackay

[QPRDave]

Apparently they have a 'household name' manager currently at another British club lined up to replace him, wonder who that could be? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25464611

Despicable behaviour from Tan the way he's treated Mackay. Appointing his son's mate who was on a work placement as Head of Recruitment was hilarious, unless you were the former head of recruitment..

Delia Smith?......McAlpines?....Brenda Blethyn?...

Mark Hughes to Cardiff!!

Maybe Stoke and Cardiff can go down!

Like him or not, Mackay has a decent record both as a manager and a player. He did a very good job at Watford given the state they were in and took Cardiff up when other managers had failed to do so.

Yes, he has spent a lot in the market this summer and not achieved anything great, but for Tan to show such a lack of respect really confirms what many think, that he himself, knows jack about football.

Just about sums up what happened to Warnock.

Just about sums up what happened to Warnock.

I do not agree with this at all.

Warnock was unlucky with the timing of the ownership change but in the end he lost the plot, lost a lot of matches, and brought about his own demise. Still a QPR Legend for what he did the previous season though.

I don't get what you mean about "he lost the plot". The 2011/12 table for QPR with Warnock in charge after 16 games shows we'd won 4, drawn 4, lost 8.

Cardiff, now at the same stage, have won 4, drawn 5, lost 7. That's only a 1pt difference and 1 loss difference, which by your reasoning would appear to suggest Mackay has lost the plot, lost a lot of matches and brought about his own demise. Ironically, that would make my original statement "just about sums up what happened to Warnock" still ring true!

Have a while we watch Leicester get torn a new one...

But looking at the stats in another way, we hadnt won in 9, and slipped from 9th to 17th...team was playing poorly and dressing room had issues. In hindsight, we may or may not have stayed up under him, but at the time, pretty much everyone was happy with MH's appointment...
