i was reading on the way home that Mackay wants to run a club top to bottom with little board interference, and wondered just how long that'll work out with Parish.
apparently collapsed before i'd even got the Evening Standard

It now looks hilarious that last night Mark Bright was being feted on Talksport for his inside knowledge, claiming that the final details of a managerial deal were being tied up overnight (last night) with a formal announcement of the new manager today. He then proceeded to give a detailed analysis of Mackay - while not ruling out Sherwood either, so clearly hedging his bets there. So much for being so ITK because he is a confidant of Steve Parish..............yeah right.
If Bright is so ITK then he should know there were 'issues' surrounding Mackay's appointment and not to so publicly dig himself a hole. Yet another example of why Bright isn't the sharpest pundit in the business. Good work!!!

Yeah he genuinely did. He tried to say it was payback of some sort for what seasidepillock did. Either way two charities have lost out because of two Pillock's from both clubs, one thing that I found a but shitty is that only one BHA fan jumped down footfetish's throat.
The bet was with dougie if I remember right

Agreed. That is very poor form. First I'd heard about it too.

Allegedly it was on until earlier today when Vincent Tan threatened to submit a dossier of bad conduct by MacKay to the FA and Prem League. Wished the little Bond Villain would pee off.

Didn't he turn it down last year too ? Can't be bothered to check the 2013 thread for the twenty or so who said no before they went back to Pulis.

Why should Tan pish off? If he has something on Mackay then he has a right to show it. Remember when everyone was saying poor Malky, treated terribly by Tan and he did such a good job as well, next thing you know Mackay and Moody are calling Tan the best bloke ever etc. Now I'm not saying that there was definitely some impropriety, but after the amazing job that Malky is supposed to have done, why have other clubs not snapped him up. Would love to know the full story, aside from that I simply don't think he is that good a manager.
Now I am really gutted!

I guess we shouldn't be too surprised at Tan's antics. Must be an interesting character to do business with and worse still if you cross him..... I almost have some sympathy with you.
Meanwhile and further to my earlier point: Surely if Mark Bright is a close confidant of Steve Parish then before he started making pronouncements last night on national radio and wallowing in the plaudits he should have known of: a) the bad blood between Cardiff and Palace over the spying allegations and resulting sanctions which have failed to placate Tan b) the widely held suggestion that there was more to the Mackay / Tan relationship that could well become toxic and c) therefore there was / is every chance that Palace further stirring the pot with an attempt to appoint Mackay might just prompt a reaction that could cause the deal to fall over, and d) possibly trigger an escalation in the legal spat between the Clubs? On top of that I imagine Mr Tan might even be enjoying the discomfort caused to both Mackay and Palace plus to any pundits daring to predict he could simply be unveiled as your new manager. So it all seems a bit naïve of Bright to pre-empt all of this.
It should make interesting entertainment to see where the Mackay story goes from here. Meanwhile you need a manager and I wonder if Parish now secretly wishes he had hung on to Pulis after all, especially if this episode ends up costing Palace a significant sum in legal fees and further sanctions.
Been a bit behind the news for the last 24 hours, but have just read this thread from start to finish. A very enjoyable 15 minutes!
Talks with Mackay have broken down. Apparently the sticking point is the goal music, drum and pigeon flying around the ground prior to kick off.

Yeah me too. I thought the Mackay deal was done and dusted.
Never mind eh!
Edit: elsewhere palace fans get creative
