Malky Mackay & Iain Moody - Premier League Manager Investigated For Racism, Sexism And Homophobic Text Messages: Cardiff City & Crystal Palace: EPL Future In Ruins

Former Cardiff City duo Malky Mackay and Iain Moody were set to join forces at Crystal Palace, but their Premier League managerial future is in serious doubt after reports were sent to the League Managers' Association showing text messages sent between the two. The messages had elements of racism, sexism and a homophobic nature, saying despicable things that nobody could forgive. Cardiff released the statements right before Malky got the Palace job, showing they wanted to get revenge on the troubled coach. Can they clear their name, or are the talented coach and director's careers as good as done?

Mackay has claimed the messages were apart of "friendly text message banter", but that's not going to cut it with anybody. The LMA said "If Malky has caused any offence by these two isolated matters he would wish to sincerely apologise,"

The LMA continued saying "These were two text messages sent in private at a time Malky felt under great pressure and when he was letting off steam to a friend during some friendly text message banter, The LMA does not condone in any way any potential breach of equal opportunities laws but would also point out that out of over 10,000 text messages and 70,000 documents produced over a long period of time it may not be a complete surprise that some inappropriate comments can sometimes be made by employees, like Malky, working under great pressure in highly charged situations.""

Malky was regarded as one of Britain's top managers, but now it appears his career is as good and done, and with the whole sport possibly, and fairly, turning their back on him, what can he do now?
