Malky Mackay: Cardiff City sack manager Malky Mackay has been sacked as Cardiff City manager after a meeting of the club's board of directors.
Billionaire Malaysian owner Vincent Tan said the dismissal was "regretfully" necessary to be fair to the club and its fans.
In a statement, Tan said: "Far too much dirty linen has been exposed to the public gaze but, I stress, not by me."
Tan claimed in a statement that Mackay's dismissal was necessary for the good of the club."There has been a good deal of publicity generated by, and about, Mr Malky Mackay for the last few months," it read.
"I have deliberately not responded to this, hoping that the club can be judged on its football rather than personalised arguments about who said what to whom.
"I have, however,
regretfully concluded that it is no longer fair to the club, its players, its fans and the public more generally for this uncomfortable state of affairs to continue.
"Cardiff City Football Club means far too much to us all for it to be distracted by this." http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/wales/25526438
