By the end of the season it will be interesting to see how many matches were managed by caretaker managers combined.
the mackay situation wasn't handled well but he hasn't done very well this season
tbf 5 out of 6 Managers are doing better than their predecessors so it clearly works, if they get it right.

anti, all bar shitwood
Martin Jol - Unlucky, but he just couldn't stop the rot. Fans turned on him so he had to go.
AvB - Lack of goals cost him, couldn't excuse 5-0 and 6-0 defeats on the back of that.
Paolo di Canio - Nutter should never have been trusted.
Ian Holloway - Quit.
Steve Clarke - Victim of his own success really. Couldn't replace Lukaku and came a cropper.
Malky Mackay - Didn't really handle the situation all too well. Results also didn't back his position.
Sam Allardyce, Paul Lambert and Chris Hughton are far from safe. All had a decent amount to invest in the team, all 3 seem to have failed to build teams capable of avoiding a relegation battle.

How has he not done well may i ask? Newly promoted team who are not in the relegation zone and have been playing quite well until the whole mess came about a month ago. Cardiff task fir the season would have been to stay up any way possible and at the halfway stage they are currently out of the bottom 3. Job well done Imo.

Think Hughes won't be too far away, especially if Stoke are pulled further down
So Malky has been sacked. What at an utter disgrace and a kick in the teeth for Malky after the successes he has had with Cardiff to be sacked by an egotistical owner who clearly doesn't understand anything about the traditions of football.
-------------------------------------------------------
That success was due to the thick end of £150mil of Tans money.
I don't like the man and this situation has been handled badly but Cardiff are in the best position that they've ever been in and the owner is still there.
A manager was sacked due to the performance of the team that he manages so where's the problem? It happens all the time
PS Holloway wasn't sacked
PPS^^^
D'Jeezuz beat me too it.
Agree with TUX. While Tan is clearly a bit of a git, he has spent a lot of money to get Cardiff where they are, and, rightly or wrongly, expects more from them than Mackay has given him. That's his prerogative as owner. They are sure as hell in a better position with him than they would be without. He's done far more for the club than Mackay ever did.
Everyone jumps on the bandwagon of being outraged and shocked that underperforming managers might lose their jobs. Apparently it's a slap in the face to good old fashioned footballing values. Managers must have never got sacked in the good old days...
Football is a results-oriented cut-throat business. Deal with it.
Struggling to think of a manager who didn't deserve the boot!
Clarke maybe.
I found Steve Clarke's dismissal baffling
