Chances of Malky Mackay being employed again as a confirmed homophobe - 100%
Chances of Malky Mackay being employed again if he came out as gay - 0%

Watch them climb the league

Oh well - that's another club that'll finish above us then. I suppose that, as we sink into League One (or as I still think of it, Division Three), we'll be able to claim the moral high ground. Tough and unjust as that is, at least we'll be able to look at ourselves in the mirror every morning without having to admit we've sold our great old club's integrity down the river. I'm not sure anyone outside the club will think that, though.

Trying to work out how I got dragged into this, strange.

The trouble for Mr. Mackay is that now he's employed within FA circles again, the FA have the jurisdiction to charge him with the offences we were all (hopefully) appalled by. The supposition that he wouldn't be charged was based on a supposition that the FA would be able to charge a non-employee. My understanding is that they wouldn't have been allowed to, hence why he hasn't been charged yet.

Now he's 'back in the fold' he could be charged and, maybe, banned for a long period of time. Fingers crossed, eh?

Wigan will be entitled to sack Mackay if he is found guilty. It's in his contract, according to Whelan.

Presumably meaning that if he's fired his ban won't be served, meaning that a ban is awaiting him if he ever returns... pretty much meaning that no one will ever hire him. Result! :banana:

I wouldn't want to be a snake in the Wigan dressing room now, with Malky turning up. Confirmed snakist.

Dick Head · Nov 19, 2014

At least they didn't give the job to a ****ing foreigner!

Iggle Piggle · Nov 19, 2014

Surprised at Wigan. Not because Malkay has some 'old fashioned' views, football is awash with them. I'm more surprised that any chairman hires a manager who has financial question marks over his head. Then again, Harry is always employed, why am I surprised?

Anyone else get 'The Fiver' email? Today's quote of the day:

“I can confirm Malky Mackay has applied and we will speak to him. I believe he deserves a fair hearing. We’ve had over 20 applications and started interviews on Tuesday” – Dave Whelan starts the Wigan interview process yesterday in response to the club being linked with a move for the controverisal former Cardiff manager.

Still, 20 applications? Well, an exhaustive interview process is going to take a wh…

“[Malky Mackay] is the man to lead us back into the Premier League” – Dave Whelan ends the Wigan interview process less than 24 hours later with depressing inevitability.

The other 19 applications all came from Paul Ince.

One of Wigan Athletic's shirt sponsors has ended its agreement with the club following the appointment of new manager Malky Mackay.

Kitchen firm Premier Range - which carries a logo on the back of the Championship club's kit - said it was in an "untenable" position.

Looks like - despite his shameful comments. Whelan is ready to interview him for the job.

If he was avaliable would you go for him? For me, I hope we wouldn't just on an ethics basis.

Ever heard of "innocent until proven guilty"? You are typical of all the right on politically correctness that infects this site, numpty.

As a native of Leeds, I'll just tell you that you are talking NONSENSE.

Are you suggesting he didn't do anything wrong? Because that would be news to Malky Mackay, who has admitted sending a couple of the emails and apologised for it.

He has confessed to sending three unacceptable and inappropriate emails. His confessions proves it.

Say what you like about Whelan. But if anyone said 20 years ago that little old Wigan (a rugby town) would get to the prem, staying there for years, win the FA Cup and play in Europe, they would have locked them up in Broadmoor..He thinks Malky is the man to keep them up and I think he is probably right. Takes a better man to make a change and admit he got it wrong, than to keep walking down a blind alley.

Went to their website and still there .. "Official sponsor of Wigan" .. someone should be in for a bollacking or delay the announcement till they got it off?

Maybe Wigan will see a legal opportunity?

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
