Malky Becomes Member Of Trust

Former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has accepted an invitation to become an honorary life member of the Trust.

In a letter responding to the invitation from Trust chair Tim Hartley, Malky said: “It was an absolute pleasure to receive your letter. I was touched by its kindness and really appreciate the sentiment.

“I absolutely loved my job and loved living in Cardiff. In truth I’m gutted that I’m not still there.

“As far as the Cardiff fans are concerned, my memory will live long of their passion , commitment and welcome that myself and my staff were given in our time at the club. It would be an honour to be made a life member and, of course, I would accept such a thing.

“I thought you spoke with passion, thoughtfulness and clarity at the meeting in the board room. Please don’t give up on trying to do the right things for the club. Once again, Tim thanks for the memories and the support. I wish you the very best of luck and health.”

Tim Hartley said: “Malky Mackay made a huge contribution during his time at Cardiff City, culminating in promotion to the Premier League.

“He had a fantastic rapport with Bluebirds fans and was undoubtedly one of the most popular managers in the club’s history. So we thought it was appropriate that Malky should be invited to become an honorary member of the Trust. We’re delighted that Malky has accepted that invitation.”

What else can you say?

Blatant two fingers up at Tan IMO   

I'd like to here malkys actual thoughts on rebrand now he has no ties? (it certainly would make a good book) I doubt we would here much with an impending court case berween tan and malk

So if Tan says 'I think OGS is better than Malky', you couldnt care less. But if Malky makes no mention of Tan but makes an effort to write to the fans thanking them for their support, Malky is stirring things?   

I think Malky is a nice bloke who has an affinity with the club if not the board and has accepted the position partly due to his affection for Cardiff and also as it helps his appearance.

Well done. I think it was a ridiculous thing for them to do.

Had a little smile on my face when I read this story earlier. Very rare to see a fanbase and manager stay 'friends', if you will, after departing the club.

I feel it would've been a diff story gloves if it not been for rebrand,

Its a fans way to piss tan off, Fans still friends with ex manager

A pathetic move by the Trust, motivated by their anti-Tan stance rather than anything Malky did for the club, imo.

Malky now urges 'fans to fight for what's right at Bluebirds'. Funny he never said that when he was here.

Time and a place, cyncoedslumdog

Quite so. Forget principles when you're taking someone's money.
