Malky has been done up like a kipper.

Banter, like 'Lad', is the new buzzword for being a ****ing ******.

Which is under the jurisdiction of the FA hence why the FA can step in and punish players for offences in PL matches.

The FA have jurisdiction over the competition as is agreed by the Premier League's governance, but they have very limited control of the Premier League the company and that's who Scudamore works for. He was backed by the shareholders (Premier League clubs) so what the FA thought made no real difference in terms of actually punishing him. They should have voiced their condemnation more than they did, but there was little else they could do to actually punish him.

Just out of curiosity, if they are texts between the two how is it they have been obtained by anyone else?

I thought they were being investigated for transfer irregularites - they were work phones so were part of the investigation

LMA releases a statement apologising for the previous statement.

Now Harry chips in:

"Malky hasn't murdered anyone, he hasn't raped anyone and he is not a paedophile." - Harry Redknapp

Isn't this the absolute bare minimum you expect from a human being

[CJ]

Did arry really say that?

[tsb]

It's true, he didn't rape anyone or touch up kids. Just a little bit of racist, homophobic, anti Semitic and sexist banter.

Just out of curiosity, if they are texts between the two how is it they have been obtained by anyone else?

Apparently Tan asked for something called a 'search and collect order', ok it's not called that, i can't damn well remember the term, but anyway, the High Court rarely hands them out, but they did in this case, and so Tans invetsigators were able to obtain the messages.

They were handed to the LMA ages ago apparently too.
'
The investigators Tan is using are meant to be highly proffessional too, he's really gone after MM, seems personal.

More allegations.

Malky Mackay: Former Cardiff boss faces fresh allegations

Malky Mackay is facing further scrutiny following fresh allegations about text messages he is claimed to have shared with Iain Moody while Cardiff manager.

Mackay has already apologised for sending three messages he accepts were "unacceptable" and "inappropriate".

But the Daily Mail newspaper alleges the Scot, 42, was party to further offensive texts and emails.

In one, it claims Mackay seemingly referred to Cardiff's Malaysian owner Vincent Tan as a "chink".

The Mail alleges the damaging text was sent from Mackay's phone on 5 June last year, when he contacted Cardiff's then head of recruitment Moody about a player they were trying to sign.

Malky Mackay denies being "racist, sexist, homophobe or anti-Semite"

The message read: "Not taking no for an answer from the chink until the 20th time or unless somebody big blows us out of the water. Can you tell him that?"

The Mail was responsible for the initial revelations about Mackay that cost the Scot the chance to become Crystal Palace's new manager.

Mackay, who has also managed Watford, was sacked by Cardiff in December, following a 3-0 defeat by Southampton.

Moody, who worked as head of recruitment at Cardiff until he was sacked in October, quit his role as Palace's sporting director on Thursday, soon after the Mail's allegations came to light.

Mackay broke his silence on the controversy on Friday evening, before the latest allegations became public.

Despite missing out on the Palace job, he still believes he has a future in football management.

"I have values and I have resilience. I have a love for British football," he said. "I will come back from this."

Kick It Out trustee Garth Crooks, speaking on the BBC's Football Focus, expects Mackay to receive a fine and a ban if the Football Association, which is investigating claims of misconduct, find him guilty.

However, Crooks does not feel it would warrant Mackay being exiled from the game completely.

He said: "There has to be room for redemption. This is about education. We are keen for managers, players and coaches who fall from grace in this area to understand what is acceptable in a working environment."

Crooks also criticised the League Managers' Association over their initial statement, in which they described Mackay's text messages as "banter".

"A few managers are quite upset about the way the LMA has handled the issue," added the former Stoke City and Tottenham striker. "The statement was pretty poor. You don't defend the indefensible."

Of course it's personal, imagine hearing your manager disrespecting you that.

The man has the money and power to bury him.
