Topic: Malky Mackay

[Father Ted]

From 2011 those quotes I think. About the Suarez and Terry incidents. Not that it excuses them, just thought he'd said them about Mackay.

Apologies, you're right. Quoted the wrong section as the original article didn't specify which were which.

THIS is actually what he said today:

"He apologised publicly for what happened at the time and has paid for what he did, in terms of the bad publicity he has received since and will no doubt continue to suffer in the future. But I believe that it is now time to move on."

Whelan continued: "Contrary to the way he has been portrayed in recent months, the Malky Mackay I met this week, and who has been vouched for by the many different people from whom we have sought advice before making this appointment, is an honourable man.

"He is a committed family man with decent values and is a professional who has worked and thrived for over 20 years in the multi-cultural world of modern football.

"There is nothing more to say about this subject, and as far as I am concerned we draw a line under it from today."

Again, sorry about that.

[Ray K]

He's probably a Ukip voter aswell.

He's probably still voting for Thatcher. A minute's silence for her death and all that. The senile c*nt.

No worries mate, they deserved to be posted, says a lot about his mentality.

[CHOPPER]

*BBC News* - The family of George Formby and the singer Limahl, have asked for their names to be removed from the respective stands named after them at Wigans DW Stadium. Limahls 'Too Shy-Shy' stand and The George Formby 'Ukulele End' are now set to be renamed. 

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

[WelshMike]

Hopefully Wigan are relegated then.

I'm all for second chances personally, just absolutely amazed Whelan would say people who report racial abuse are out of order!

Alright, fair enough. You bring back Moyes and we'll call it even.

[Motty]

Was only thinking the other day how he's going to be un-hireable now and obviously I was wrong.

Dave Whelan is a complete tit though so not that surprising really.

[RyanBabel19]

Hope mackay fails miserably there

c*nt of a human being

Fuck that. It's taken six months to dismantle the iPad bunker he left behind

[exiledintheUSA]

Him and Whelan are a match made somewhere.

[HighSix]

Sad to see even a desperate club appoint a man like Mackay. Dave Whelan must be loving the press coverage though. Hope his club get relegated or go bust.

[Kopenhagen]

Dave 'Broke me Leg' Whelan dug a hole for himself whilst trying to explain this decision on radio earlier:

Christ, what a blithering idiot.

Disgraceful decision.

[Chris~]

Is he still under investigation for the dodgy transfers?

[Lush is the best medicine...]

It's a sensitive enough subject without bringing religion into it, mate 


If I was a journalist, I'd ask Dave Whelan what he thought of the Ched Evans case, just for shits and giggles really.  You'd probably get the perfect trifeta of racism, sexism and probably xenophobia in one stupid soundbite.

ched evans is probably sending a dvd to dave whelan!

[tonysleft]

ched evans is probably sending a dvd to dave whelan!

Ched Evans signing for Malky Mackay's new club would need it's own board on here.

[scumbagcollege]

Dave Whelan, for example, he's not as cosmopolitan or as educated as me and it can be embarrassing you know. He doesn't understand all the new trendy words - like he'll say "poofs" instead of "gays", "birds" instead of "women", "darkies" instead of "coloureds".

[Hazell]

Nick's a twat and a knobend but he could give a man a lethal blow.

[Red Beret]

Those two will suit each other.  As for Whelan's comments, well I've heard more sense on the subject from Sep Blatter.

[Red Sea]

Ahhhh Wigan, that irritant of a dark blotch of spilt tea in the north west, populated by orcs in a rainy, windswept dismal place. Malky Mackay has finally found his spiritual home.

[Tom_B]

These quotes are fucking mental:

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/nov/20/wigan-dave-whelan-accused-antisemitism-jewish-people

Did someone buy him a big shovel for his birthday? He can't stop digging.

[Humperdinck]

Oh dear, what a prick, people thinking this was a strange appointment, it looks like Whelan has just found a younger version of himself, a perfect match.

[Brian Blessed]

He's insane, he has to be. The signs were there when he said Martinez is the best coach in the world, but this is a whole other level.

[Mouth]

No surprise this shit is coming from the man who wanted football to honour Thatcher.

Shame we cant boot him out and take his club off him like Donald Sterling. Anything associated with Wigan should be boycotted, no pies or incest for anyone!

But seriously, one sponsor has already ditched them, the rest should follow suit.

[Fiasco]

"I think Jewish people do chase money more than everybody else. I don't think that's offensive at all."



And, for the record, that is a genuine quote from Whelan.

[gazzalfc]

FA released a statement that the investigation is still ongoing and there have been no reassurances given to Wigan.

FA have been given more evidence that need looking at to see if there is an ingrained culture of allegations within the club.

Both sides are cooperating and the investigation is ongoing

[Lush is the best medicine...]

is it wrong that I'm pissing myself laughing at that

[Tomaldinho]

Asked whether he did not think what Mackay said was offensive, because the claim that Jews “love money” has been used as a negative stereotype, Whelan said: “Do you think Jewish people chase money a little bit more than we do? I think they are very shrewd people.” Asked if he himself believed that, Whelan, the multimillionaire former owner of JJB Sports, said: “I think Jewish people do chase money more than everybody else. I don’t think that’s offensive at all.”

Good God.

[IgorBobbins]

Why isn't someone within the club putting duct tape over his mouth, tying him up with rope and locking him in a cupboard to stop him talking to the press?

Place your bets now on what section of society he'll insult next. My money's on the Welsh.

He is a megalomaniac, there is nobody within the club who would even dare suggest such a thing. The Thatcher-loving prick should be ignored but it's hard to do when he comes out with such retrograde bullshit.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

 I just feel for their pr person

[GorstStreetBoy]

“If any Englishman said he has never called a Chinaman a chink he is lying,” Whelan said.

Wow.

[GorstStreetBoy]

I just feel for their pr person

He's probably appointed big Ron

[phonic]

What a fucking awful little scrote Whelan is. I can't stand him. Longer he's out of the PL the better.

[outlaw_nas]

Doesn't he expect what's gonna happen to him

[Zephyr]

It is as if Whelan has decided to, upon waking up, to completely destroy his image as well as his club's. The fuck.

[Fiasco]

It's a pity he won't suffer the same fate as Donald Sterling did with the LA Clippers.

[gazzalfc]

Didn't think there would be a day where I feel sorry for Vincent Tan

I love listening to the dungeon master,he just doesn't know when to shut his mouth

[God's Left Peg]

People have been queuing up to piss themselves laughing at Dave Whelan for a fucking long time.

The man is a joke.
