5 Reasons Cardiff City Were Daft To Sack Malky Mackay (Despite Solskjaer Appointment)
2. Whos To Say That Solskjaer Wont Walk Out?
Its clear that Tan had no idea on the managerial qualities that Mackay had as a football manager, but that is understandable to some extent due to his limited knowledge of the game. However, as a smart businessman I would have felt that he should have read Mackay better. Simply put, the Scot was fiercely loyal even under the conditions that he was put under. I think it was surprising to many people that he stayed calm and didnt resign. This might have given Tan a false sense of security over how he can treat a manager. The fact of the matter is he may not be so lucky with Solskjaer as if Tans tricks resurface or a bigger club comes in for the Norwegian; he may have sense of loyalty to Cardiff. Its certainly going to be very interesting to see how all of this plays out. As much as I like the Norwegian, I cant help but think that all this is going to blow up for them this season and relegation could well be on the cards.
