Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has been told by owner Vincent Tan to resign or he will be sacked.

In a letter emailed to Mackay on Monday, it is understood Tan listed in depth his grievances with the Scot.

Tan criticised 41-year-old Mackay at length in a range of areas, such as signings, transfer budgets, results on the pitch and style of play.

The Malaysian businessman also questioned the former Watford manager's record as a boss.

Mackay has previously said he will not resign.

A Cardiff spokesman told BBC Sport: "The club is not party to any letter sent from one person to another."

The correspondence came on the same day the Malaysian businessman issued a statement through Cardiff chief executive Simon Lim criticising Mackay.

Tan said he was "extremely upset" after Mackay revealed he was hoping to recruit three new players in the January transfer window.

The ex-Scotland international, who was named Cardiff boss in June 2011, led the Welsh club to promotion from the Championship seven months ago, but his future became uncertain when head of recruitment, Iain Moody, was removed from his position in October.

Tan's concerns surrounds a perceived overspend of the transfer budget agreed between Mackay, Lim and Moody.

Cardiff broke their transfer record three times over the summer, signingstriker Andreas Cornelius for £7.5m, defender Steven Caulker for £8m and then midfielder Gary Medel for £11m.

The owner claims the total budget was £35m and that £50m was spent including add-ons.

Mackay and Moody have denied those claims, insisting the £35m was solely for transfer fees and that Lim and Tan had no complaints about that rising with add-ons.

He's gonna get sacked then!

 

[Dare!]

Vincent Tan is a massive idiot.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Crazy.

 

[Spurger King]

Tan is the definition of everything that is wrong with football, and one of the reasons why I doubt I'll even bother with the sport ten years from now.

Having said that, this couldn't be happening to a nicer bunch of fans. Karma, bitches.

 

[Caco]

Just saw this, premier league is becoming a joke. Can easily see a 50% turnover in managers this season at this rate.

DL: Vincent, me old mate.

VT: Yes.

DL: Remember that clause I put in the Caulker deal?

VT: The 'Levy under pressure' clause?

DL: Yes, that one - the one where when the heat's on yours truly, I'd ask you to do something stupid to make me look reasonable and benevolent in comparison.

VT: Is it time?

DL: Yes. And the heat's really on, so make it really stupid. Not just the old team shirt tucked in your trousers routine.

VT: Don't worry, Danny. I'm just firing up my email and I'm on the case.

DL: Cheers, Vinny. Pleasure doing business with you.

And some of us moan about Levy? Ok it's bad now but could be a lot fucking worse

Vincent Tan doesn't a clause from Levy to do that, he's more than mental enough to wriite it himself.

A timely reminder for those calling for Levy's head... We could end up with a lunatic like Tan or worse.

Once again this mentalist thinks he knows more than Football people.

The reality will hit Tan when he can't bring a decent manager in to replace Malky.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

All is not well at the Red-Blue-Dragon-Birds.

To get that letter though - surely the LMA will be all over this with hammers and sharp sticks and everything. Malky doesn't deserve this sort of treatment, however you slice it.

 

[Mouse!]

Malky Mackay until the end of the season chaps? I'm only half joking...

 

[CornerPinDreamer]

will AVB take the Cardiff job?

 

[Rocksuperstar]

will AVB take the Cardiff job?

He won't get a chance - Tans son has probably got a few mates all queuing up for an interview already.

Now i say it, it doesn't seem so unlikely either, after the appointment of a painter as DoF or chief scout or whatever it was.

Any manager worth his salt will be looking at Cardiff and packing their barge pole away. Tan's a right plum. If Cardiff go down almost all the blame will be resting at his feet because up until now they've looked as if they've got a very good chance of staying in the Premier League.

If they stay up then they will have done well, Beat Man City, draws against Utd and Everton and 3 points off 10th, Tan is a ****, treating what looks on the surface in Malky to be a decent manager, like a ****.

If i was Malky i would walk and watch them crash and burn, Fans don't deserve it (well some do being Cardiff), but Tan deserves a royal pole up his arse.

Fans don't deserve it (well some do being Cardiff)

I'm glad you included the bit in brackets

Tan is a grade A plum. Him and kaardiff deserve each other.

What is it about that club and the people involved at the top? Tan, Sam Hamman and Peter Risdale.

Yep shit magnet club, feel sorry for the long term genuine fans, not the lout twats.

In all fairness, as much as I despise the club, a lot of their fans are good people (my father in law being a prime example). However, I've had enough rows with their less savoury element to colour my judgement and lead me to sweeping generalisations!

You know what, we should do it just for the look on Tans face, ok, i jest...
