The civil war between Cardiff owner Vincent Tan and Malky Mackay reached its logical and inevitable conclusion yesterday with the sacking of the club’s Scottish manager.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has emerged as the leading candidate to succeed Malky Mackay following the Scot’s sacking as Cardiff manager.

The saga over Malky Mackay’s future at Cardiff City FC has come to an end after the club confirmed the Scot had been relieved of his duties.

Another chaotic day at Cardiff ended with manager Malky Mackay still in charge, for now.
