About time. I know the LMA is in effect the Managers 'union' and therefore it's role is to protect members interests - but some of the stuff they came out with during Poyet's discipline investigation was cringe worthy, but not surprising.
However their original statement on the Mackay matters was shameful and woefully out of touch with what is acceptable towards diverse minority groups, when the LMA is there to represent it's own diverse membership.
The whole matter does not reflect well on football. Fortunately there are plenty of good people out there too.

Certainly doesn't reflect well on the LMA!

Redknapp has poked his nose in as usual saying that Mackey isn't a murderer, hasn't raped anyone and isn't a paedophile so is a decent chap really.

The atrocious applied to the ISIS (or whatever we a calling them now) it doesn't apply to Malky (except his dress sense). The point is
it's perfectly possible to have an opinion on several things at once. I also realise that to homophobes, sexist, racists and their apologists it is small beer, banter if you, like but to others it is more important.

"On June 5 last year, Mackay, then manager of Cardiff, contacted the club’s head of recruitment, Moody, about a player they were trying to sign. A message was sent from Mackay’s phone that read: ‘Not taking no for an answer from the chink until the 20th time or unless somebody big blows us out of the water. Can you tell him that.’
Tan controlled club finances at the time and investigators at Cardiff are understood to be confident it is Tan to whom Mackay refers.
A week later came another illuminating exchange, offering what appears to be a startling observation about Mackay. At the time, Mackay was concerned that a player they were pursuing had been linked with a rival club. He relayed his feelings to Moody, who replied: ‘He told me he had an offer to go there but will never accept because the manager is a racist. Thankfully he hasn’t met you.’"
"It is understood the former Watford manager was inadvertently forwarded an email from a gay season-ticket holder at Vicarage Road, who had contacted that club complaining of feeling intimidated by homophobic chants during a match between Watford and Brighton. Mackay is said to have forwarded the email to Moody, apparently declaring ironically: ‘A must read!!’
Finally, a reference to a female colleague in an exchange of emails does not reflect well on Mackay either. Mackay had complained that the trouser press in his hotel room was not working. One colleague suggests he get a female colleague to fix it. ‘She can’t,’ Mackay replied. She’s shovelling **** for my roses.’"
It's nice that the mail let him dig himself a massive hole before they released more texts!

He sounds like a fun bloke to be honest(sense of humor)i find it all quiet funny to be honest...He obviously was very angry with tan and people will always look to find a way of upsetting people by using certain words.
I hope it just blows over as its really not that big a deal...Millions of Brits do this sort of thing every day to be fair

Or unfair, depending on your point of view.
